Question about toolchain

by Saeed Jamali

Dear Linaro, Dear Linaro I'm using arm cortex A53 (mt6735 [part number]). But I do not know which tool-chain I have to use. I found your website https://www.linaro.org/downloads/ on internet. and my guess is aarch64-linux-gnu. can you please guide me through selecting a proper tool-chain. Regards, Saeed Djamali

# Progress # o Upstream GDB * More patch reviewing and answering questions. o GDB: * GNU-644 - [GDB, AArch64] gdb.base/step-over-syscalls.exp failures - Managed to track this down all the way to the aarch64 single-stepping infrastructure in the kernel. Created reproduction steps and sent an e-mail to linux-arm-kernel - Also noticed a difference in the order in which SIGCHLD's are delivered between x86_64 and aarch64. This confused GDB, which expects the ordering it sees on x86_64. Working on a fix. * Tweaked QEMU setup a little for SVE testing * GNU-645 - gdbserver is not using SVE register descriptions properly - Tracked down why gdbserver is not sending SVE register data back to GDB. Working on a fix. * GNU-170 - GDB BZ #21221 - gdb hangs while stepping an empty loop - On hold for now. # Plan # o GDB * GNU-644 - [GDB, AArch64] gdb.base/step-over-syscalls.exp failures - Continue working on a fix. * GNU-645 - gdbserver is not using SVE register descriptions properly - Continue working on a fix.

[VIRT-263 # ARMv8.1-VHE Virtual Host Extensions ] Reworked the timer redirection. Now the EL2 and EL0 redirection is unified, which is a bit easier to understand. Still no joy working out where the unwanted interrupt is coming from. As far as I can tell everything is plumbed correctly... I'll shelve this until PMM is not swamped with release work. It must wait for 5.0 for merging anyway. [VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ] Assorted patch review. [Kernel] Posted two more rounds of ARMv8.5-RNG for review. Seems I'd misunderstood one of Mark's previous suggestions, and Ard changed his mind about how RNDR vs RNDRRS should be used in the context of the shared resource across host*CORES + virt*VCPUS. [GCC] Posted an implementation of asm-flag-output for AArch32+AArch64. I should have done this years ago. There are two potential users within the kernel, and one is access_ok() which has thousands of uses. (Oh, and RNG, which has like 3 uses. :-P) Reviewed some arm simd patches that caught my eye. r~

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 8 Nov (inc KVM Forum trip report)

by Peter Maydell

Progress / KVM Forum trip report: * As usual, we held the QEMU Summit at the same time as the forum; this is an hour-or-two invitation only meeting of the top 20 or so maintainers/submaintainers, discussing process and other project issues. A proper summary/writeup of the minutes will be posted to qemu-devel later, but IMHO this year the most interesting topics were: - Spreading the load of managing pull request merges; currently I do this with the aid of some hand-hacked scripts. To be able to spread this work among more people we need to replace that with a more maintained and standardized CI/testing setup. RedHat have agreed to provide some people to work on at least the initial setup part of this, and we got some consensus that the approach to take was to use Gitlab with some custom 'runners' to handle the 'build/test on aarch64/ppc/s390x/etc' parts. - We talked about the project's general stance on 'plugin' interfaces; which can be controversial both because they commit us to maintaining a stable API/ABI and because they have the potential to be used to work around the GPL (eg proprietary device models). We plan to write up some guidelines here (mostly just writing down the existing consensus). - We also talked (again) about our handling of security issues and CVEs. My impression is that there are some parts of this that people aren't hugely happy with but that nobody has the time/effort to try to improve things (eg better documentation/tracking of issues, more prompt upstream point releases with security fixes), so things are likely to stay about as they are now. * Interesting talks (videos are being uploaded to: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRCSQmAOh7yzgheq-emy1xA ): - 'The Hype Around the RISC-V Hypervisor' : the RISC-V architecture's hypervisor extension isn't completely finalized yet, but it's far enough advanced that KVM support and also QEMU emulation of it have been written. An amusing sign of the architecture's academic underpinnings is that this first version doesn't have any hardware acceleration of the interrupt controller, but does have full nested-virtualization support. - 'ZERO: Next Generation Virtualization Platform for Huawei Cloud': Huawei describe hardware for a cloud environment which offloads as much as possible of the hypervisor work to custom I/O cards and a custom silicon cloud-control device, in a general approach that's probably familiar to anybody who watched the Amazon Nitro presentation from the other year. - 'What's Going On? Taking Advantage of TCG's Total System Awareness': Alex Bennée's talk on the introspection plugin work we've been doing in Linaro (and which will be in QEMU 4.2). - 'Playing Lego with Virtualization Components': description of the Rust 'rust-vmm' set of libraries intended to provide useful building blocks for putting together virtual machine managers (like Firecracker, crosvm). Basically similar content to a presentation they did for Cambridge University earlier this year, but this talk's been recorded so is good if you weren't in the audience the first time around. * And as always the in-person networking is valuable: - Oracle have a "split device emulation into separate processes" idea that's alarmingly invasive of the source code, but Stefan came up with an approach that might let them do what they need without making the source code harder to work with for the rest of us. - Met the RedHat person who's going to do the CI-for-pullreqs work (see QEMU Summit item earlier) : getting this unstalled was probably the most useful concrete outcome of the conference - Finally met Aurelien Jarno (a longstanding hobbyist contributor to QEMU who usually can't attend these conferences) * While at the conference Drew and I managed to finally get the SVE support for KVM guests into master (the last hurdle was an awkward test failure on the aarch32-compat-on-aarch64-kernel setup I happen to use as one of my build test environments; we don't care about whether KVM really works in this setup but we need 'make check' to not fail) * Also managed to fit in some wrangling of pull requests; the timing of the 4.2 release unfortunately put softfreeze on the Tuesday before the conference and rc0 on the Tuesday afterwards; rc0 ended up being postponed a couple of days as a consequence. thanks -- PMM

Linaro - On buildbot monitoring duty, relatively quiet week with just a couple of fairly simple to diagnose problems to report. Morello - Dynamic linking progressing albeit slowly. -- Trying to work out the requirements from existing documents and implementation. -- Have some simple cases doing mostly the right thing and have written some tests. -- Will need to rewrite to move calculations earlier in the link-step. -- Morello is quite different from Cheri in this regard so I have had to diverge much more from the implementation.

VHE status

Tree: https://github.com/rth7680/qemu.git tgt-arm-vhe-5 Testcase: qemu-test:~rth/linux/initramfs-min.cpio.gz The host kernel could be anything, but I've been using the same Image.gz that is inside the cpio archive. ./aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -m 4G \ -M virt,virtualization=on,gic-version=max -cpu max \ -kernel Image.gz -initrd initramfs-min.cpio.gz At the shell prompt, ./test will run a guest kernel with kvm. As momentarily discussed with PMM in the hallway: As soon as the guest kernel enables interrupts, arch_timer_starting_cpu enable_percpu_irq irq_percpu_enable gic_unmask_irq -- Incorrect exception delivery. the GTIMER_PHYS interrupt is delivered to EL2 (seems to be ok), the host kernel does something (haven't dug into what exactly, bug presumably setting bits that are supposed to pass the virq to the guest), and immediately another interrupt is delivered to EL2. Repeat. Whether this is incorrect routing of the virq interrupt, or incorrect masking/acking of the hard irq interrupt at EL2, I do not yet know. PMM: I don't know the answer to either (a) or (b) as asked on hangouts. I think (b) is correct, but I can't be sure. I'm trying to understand how (a) is supposed to work now. In particular, I can't find any code that sets HCR_EL2.{VI,VF}, only tests them. r~

Numerous failures on problematic racy tests (gdb.threads). o GDB: * GNU-170 - GDB BZ #21221 - gdb hangs while stepping an empty loop - Spent some more time on this and improve the patch further, covering most problematic cases for "for", "while" and "do/while" loops. * Read some documentation on setting up Fast Models for testing MVE (Helium). * Inspected various aspects of ARM support in GDB, like SVE, PAC and ACLE. # Plan # o Annual Review * Conclude. o GDB: * GNU-170 - GDB BZ #21221 - gdb hangs while stepping an empty loop - Discuss with gcc@ a bit more about my proposed solution. * Attempt to setup system QEMU and/or Fast Model for testing ACLE SVE and, maybe, MVE.

Having an stm32 qemu config would help. * GCC upstream validation: - reported several issues * misc: - infra fixes / troubleshooting / reviews - sent 2 small qemu patches (fix vmrs support for m-profile, and add cortex-m7) - confirmed that gcc LTO profiled bootstrap works on arm with recent trunk, although it takes ages. Will need to try on a more powerful board == Next == * Holidays next week, back Nov 4th * FDPIC: resume work on GDB: check the various qemu forks with stm32 board support. Add FDPIC configuration in the GCC trunk validation. * GCC: pure-code/v6m, handle feedback * Binutils: support non-contiguous memory regions in linker

# Progress # o Ramp up * Credentials, machine access and LDAP updates done. o Qualcomm Landing Team sunsetting * Returned Qualcomm's Laptop. o Upstream GDB * Ramping up on reviews. * Gathering data on the current state of GDB on ARM. o GDB: * GNU-170 - GDB BZ #21221 - gdb hangs while stepping an empty loop - Came up with a little hack/proof-of-concept to get this fixed. Though ugly, it seems fixing this in the front-end may make more sense, as the information i need (source line) is easily accessible in there. - Discussion ongoing with gcc@. GDB clearly needs the compiler to provide more information. * Created JIRA cards for all known pending ARM tasks for GDB, based on Alan's and Joey's input. TODO-ed all of them for the time being. # Plan # o GDB: * GNU-170 - GDB BZ #21221 - gdb hangs while stepping an empty loop - Continue pursuing a fix. * Prioritize GDB JIRA cards and start work on them.

[Morello] - Got static linking support to the point that I can successfully link with LLD the coremark, dhrystone and EEMBC from the arran-toolchain. Not got any outstanding failures to investigate. - Altered LLD so a linker script is no longer necessary for newlib. - Started the process of rebasing and adding tests for all the fixes/hacks I needed to make to the linker work. - Aligned the base and limit of capabilities according to the incoming CHERI concentrate scheme. Interesting question of what should a linker do when alignment requirements on the base and limit cross section boundaries, and what are the responsibilities for an object producer when creating a section when the length of the capability is known at compile time. Planned absences: Holiday Thursday, Friday (24th, 25th October)

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + investigated the cause of a hang when using single-threaded TCG + sent RFC patchset proposing a rework of the ptimer API/implementation which will fix LP:1777777. Unfortunately we'll need to update all the devices using ptimers. I started in on that process of conversion, which turns out to be a little more awkward than I had expected; I ran into at least one corner case I hadn't thought about. thanks -- PMM

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + identified cause of LP:1844597 and sent patch fixing it (we broke direct-booting kernels when the emulated system has an AArch32 EL3) + tracked down the cause of LP:1777777 to a race condition that's inherent to the current design of QEMU's 'ptimer' countdown timers; fixing this will require us to rethink when we call the callback when a ptimer hits 0. Posted some ideas to mailing list, for feedback on whether I missed a better way to rework them. + usual upstream maintainer stuff; managed one way or another to get a few of the most obstinately sticky patchsets off my to-review list thanks -- PMM

[GNU Cauldron] * Project Ranger: New extensible representation for value ranges. * Lightning talks, a new gdbserver. - too short to have enough details to be useful. - incomplete enough that no demo possible. - maybe look back at this when it's more developed. * Register allocation BOF * ARM BOF - MTE is alive! In that there are now RFC patches for glibc and gcc. It's probably time to revive my MTE patch set, at least for system mode. I spent quite a long time talking with Richard Earnshaw about the current state of affairs. I'm hoping that we can get the kernel folk to agree on some fundamentals of the userland ABI, even perhaps before the final support is in the kernel, so that we can implement the linux-user side, which would probably be most helpful for glibc+gcc work. * GCC Steering Committee * Rethinking GCC development process + continuous testing * Truly interprocedural IPA-SRA * Lightning talks, - EmBench - Combined elimination for -Os. * RISC-V BOF r~

ARM GCC 8.x Performance Dropping Compared to Linaro GCC 7.x

by Yupeng Chang

Hi Dear Linaro Team, I recently found a very strange issue regarding the code performance. I have a loop written in GCC NEON. The binary of this coded generated by Linaro GCC 7.x is much faster than it generated by ARM GCC 8.x My CPU is ARM Cortex-A53 AARCH64. The compile option is: -Wall -O3 -mcpu=cortex-a53+crypto the code is like below: for (uint32 c = 0; c < channels; c += 16, roi_result += 16) { int32x4_t S1, S2, S3, S4; int16x4_t DT; DT = vld1_s16(feature1 + c + 0); S1 = vmull_lane_s16(DT, SZ, 0); DT = vld1_s16(feature1 + c + 4); S2 = vmull_lane_s16(DT, SZ, 0); DT = vld1_s16(feature1 + c + 8); S3 = vmull_lane_s16(DT, SZ, 0); DT = vld1_s16(feature1 + c + 12); S4 = vmull_lane_s16(DT, SZ, 0); DT = vld1_s16(feature2 + c + 0); S1 = vmlal_lane_s16(S1, DT, SZ, 1); DT = vld1_s16(feature2 + c + 4); S2 = vmlal_lane_s16(S2, DT, SZ, 1); DT = vld1_s16(feature2 + c + 8); S3 = vmlal_lane_s16(S3, DT, SZ, 1); DT = vld1_s16(feature2 + c + 12); S4 = vmlal_lane_s16(S4, DT, SZ, 1); DT = vld1_s16(feature3 + c + 0); S1 = vmlal_lane_s16(S1, DT, SZ, 2); DT = vld1_s16(feature3 + c + 4); S2 = vmlal_lane_s16(S2, DT, SZ, 2); DT = vld1_s16(feature3 + c + 8); S3 = vmlal_lane_s16(S3, DT, SZ, 2); DT = vld1_s16(feature3 + c + 12); S4 = vmlal_lane_s16(S4, DT, SZ, 2); DT = vld1_s16(feature4 + c + 0); S1 = vmlal_lane_s16(S1, DT, SZ, 3); DT = vld1_s16(feature4 + c + 4); S2 = vmlal_lane_s16(S2, DT, SZ, 3); DT = vld1_s16(feature4 + c + 8); S3 = vmlal_lane_s16(S3, DT, SZ, 3); DT = vld1_s16(feature4 + c + 12); S4 = vmlal_lane_s16(S4, DT, SZ, 3); DT = vrshrn_n_s32(S1, Q_VALUE); vst1_s16(roi_result + 0, DT); DT = vrshrn_n_s32(S2, Q_VALUE); vst1_s16(roi_result + 4, DT); DT = vrshrn_n_s32(S3, Q_VALUE); vst1_s16(roi_result + 8, DT); DT = vrshrn_n_s32(S4, Q_VALUE); vst1_s16(roi_result + 12, DT); } Code generated by GCC7: 294: 6b10031f cmp w24, w16 298: fc606959 ldr d25, [x10, x0] 29c: fc686922 ldr d2, [x9, x8] 2a0: fc676921 ldr d1, [x9, x7] 2a4: fc666920 ldr d0, [x9, x6] 2a8: fc686958 ldr d24, [x10, x8] 2ac: fc676957 ldr d23, [x10, x7] 2b0: fc666956 ldr d22, [x10, x6] 2b4: fc606855 ldr d21, [x2, x0] 2b8: fc686854 ldr d20, [x2, x8] 2bc: fc676853 ldr d19, [x2, x7] 2c0: fc666852 ldr d18, [x2, x6] 2c4: fc606891 ldr d17, [x4, x0] 2c8: fc686890 ldr d16, [x4, x8] 2cc: fc676887 ldr d7, [x4, x7] 2d0: fc666885 ldr d5, [x4, x6] 2d4: 0f44a063 smull v3.4s, v3.4h, v4.h[0] 2d8: 0f44a042 smull v2.4s, v2.4h, v4.h[0] 2dc: 0f44a021 smull v1.4s, v1.4h, v4.h[0] 2e0: 0f44a000 smull v0.4s, v0.4h, v4.h[0] 2e4: 0f542323 smlal v3.4s, v25.4h, v4.h[1] 2e8: 0f542302 smlal v2.4s, v24.4h, v4.h[1] 2ec: 0f5422e1 smlal v1.4s, v23.4h, v4.h[1] 2f0: 0f5422c0 smlal v0.4s, v22.4h, v4.h[1] 2f4: 0f6422a3 smlal v3.4s, v21.4h, v4.h[2] 2f8: 0f642282 smlal v2.4s, v20.4h, v4.h[2] 2fc: 0f642261 smlal v1.4s, v19.4h, v4.h[2] 300: 0f642240 smlal v0.4s, v18.4h, v4.h[2] 304: 0f742223 smlal v3.4s, v17.4h, v4.h[3] 308: 0f742202 smlal v2.4s, v16.4h, v4.h[3] 30c: 0f7420e1 smlal v1.4s, v7.4h, v4.h[3] 310: 0f7420a0 smlal v0.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[3] 314: 0f138c63 rshrn v3.4h, v3.4s, #13 318: 0f138c42 rshrn v2.4h, v2.4s, #13 31c: 0f138c21 rshrn v1.4h, v1.4s, #13 320: 0f138c00 rshrn v0.4h, v0.4s, #13 324: 6d3e0a63 stp d3, d2, [x19, #-32] 328: 6d3f0261 stp d1, d0, [x19, #-16] Code generated by GCC8: 26c: 6b0b02ff cmp w23, w11 270: fc606922 ldr d2, [x9, x0] 274: fc666941 ldr d1, [x10, x6] 278: fc666920 ldr d0, [x9, x6] 27c: 0f44a000 smull v0.4s, v0.4h, v4.h[0] 280: 0f542020 smlal v0.4s, v1.4h, v4.h[1] 284: fc6668e1 ldr d1, [x7, x6] 288: 0f642020 smlal v0.4s, v1.4h, v4.h[2] 28c: fc646945 ldr d5, [x10, x4] 290: fc666901 ldr d1, [x8, x6] 294: 0f742020 smlal v0.4s, v1.4h, v4.h[3] 298: fc646921 ldr d1, [x9, x4] 29c: 0f44a021 smull v1.4s, v1.4h, v4.h[0] 2a0: 0f5420a1 smlal v1.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[1] 2a4: fc626945 ldr d5, [x10, x2] 2a8: 0f138c03 rshrn v3.4h, v0.4s, #13 2ac: fc626920 ldr d0, [x9, x2] 2b0: 0f44a000 smull v0.4s, v0.4h, v4.h[0] 2b4: 0f5420a0 smlal v0.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[1] 2b8: fc606945 ldr d5, [x10, x0] 2bc: 0f44a042 smull v2.4s, v2.4h, v4.h[0] 2c0: 0f5420a2 smlal v2.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[1] 2c4: fc6468e5 ldr d5, [x7, x4] 2c8: 0f6420a1 smlal v1.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[2] 2cc: fc6268e5 ldr d5, [x7, x2] 2d0: 0f6420a0 smlal v0.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[2] 2d4: fc6068e5 ldr d5, [x7, x0] 2d8: 0f6420a2 smlal v2.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[2] 2dc: fc646905 ldr d5, [x8, x4] 2e0: 0f7420a1 smlal v1.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[3] 2e4: fc626905 ldr d5, [x8, x2] 2e8: 0f138c21 rshrn v1.4h, v1.4s, #13 2ec: 0f7420a0 smlal v0.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[3] 2f0: 0f138c00 rshrn v0.4h, v0.4s, #13 2f4: fc606905 ldr d5, [x8, x0] 2f8: 0f7420a2 smlal v2.4s, v5.4h, v4.h[3] 2fc: 0f138c42 rshrn v2.4h, v2.4s, #13 300: 6d000e62 stp d2, d3, [x19] 304: 6d010261 stp d1, d0, [x19, #16] 308: 91008273 add x19, x19, #0x20 I did some tests on different compile options, and found that option "-fschedule-insns" on GCC 7 will generate code that runs faster, if I disable schedule-insns, GCC7 will generate the same code as GCC8. However, this option seems don't work on GCC8, if I enable "-fschedule-insns" with GCC8, the code generated by GCC8 is even slower. If I disable "-fschedule-insns" with GCC8, the generated code is just like the sequence as in C code. I compiled my code with -O3, which means -fschedule-insns will be enabled by default. With this option enabled, GCC7 will reschedule instructions, and it seems that GCC7 will arrange the same instructions all together, but GCC8 doesn't do that, or GCC8 will reschedule instructions in a worse way. My question is, is this behavior expected in GCC8, GCC9 and the future version? Is this change in GCC code scheduling related to the fix of "spectre and mitigation" ? If I want the same instruction scheduling mechanism in GCC8, what can I do ? Thank you for looking into this. Looking forward to your reply! Tomas Chang Aug 19, 2019

- Fixed LLD segfault when exceptions. - Implement large code model TLSLD relocations in LLD. - More thoughts on MOVK prel relocations in the ABI as there looks to be a use case for them in HWASAN that isn't covered by the existing relocations. - Some thoughts on how TCWG LLVM Jira initiatives could be worded and how we may want to word them in the next cycle. - Initial thoughts written down on Connect presentation, need to flesh out more this week. - Upgraded machine to 18.04, almost managed to break it in the process but luckily it was recoverable. Will likely have some teething problems.

by Peter Maydell

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + QEMU 4.1.0 rc3 sent out. As usual, we've found some last minute bugs and we'll need an rc4 next week... + patch review: - series from Philippe making some cleanups to use object_initialize_child() and friends - Alex's patch "generate a custom MIDR for -cpu max" - made a start on reviewing RTH's 32-bit arm decodetree conversion + bug fixing: - LP:1838277 : we were taking exceptions caused by BRK instructions at EL2 to EL1, rather than to EL2; sent a patch fixing this - LP:1838475 : FPU register stacking in M-profile CPUs without the Security Extensions was incorrectly failing an NSACR check and taking a bogus exception: sent a patch to fix + wrote a patchset that converts the sparc target away from the deprecated and broken do_unassigned_access hook to use the new-in-2017 do_transaction_failure hook instead; one step closer to being able to remove the old hook entirely... + did the same for the mips target thanks -- PMM

[PR42719] BasicAA UnitTest failure on AArch64 when compiled with GCC - Patch submitted upstream [PR42853] LLD support for TPREL_G0 relocations - In theory a simple change, but llvm-mc seems to be deliberately doing something strange with MOVZ encodings fixMOVZ and I haven't worked out why it is needed. Investigations with respect to inline assembler constraints. - Some patch review comments for my ABE (Linaro GCC build system) patch for GCC RM multilibs - LLD review for smaller AArch64 images. - Wrote a summary of what TCWG do for the upstream community, may turn into a Linaro blogpost - Raised GCC PR91299 to cover incorrect weak definition inlining in GCC LTO in presence of non-weak definition. On holiday Friday 2nd August, back in the office on Monday.
