[TCWG-1450] Support for Tag_ABI_VFP_args in LLD Needed by FreeBSD in order to switch to LLD for Arm. [TCWG-1451] Support for v5 and v6 Arm in LLD Tidied up and submitted patches for v5/v6 (branch encoding and compatible thunks), in upstream review. [TCWG] - Started doing some Jira gardening in preparation for status report - Went back to libfuzzer hang on AArch64 buildbot. Looks like failure to converge on -O2 and above, from the logs and code-generation I suspect that it isn't handling the CINC instruction well (not increasing coverage when the condition passes).

4 day week. [TCWG-1424] Investigate profile feedback on codesize Have now got all the data I need, started the process of tidying up scripts to analyse whether it is worth posting upstream and what the best default parameters are. [Misc] Track down problem on AArch64 build-bot to a likely code-gen problem in Clang 3.8 for AArch64 only. Wrote a patch to use clang 6.0 on all the Linaro buildbots rather than just the libcxx builder. Will hopefully get deployed next week. [LLD] Work on adding support for EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD and EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT Needed to unblock freebsd from moving onto trunk Mostly done, just need to finish adding tests.

Abstract: My Other Machine is Virtual

by Alex Bennée

Following on from last weeks discussion here is an alternative abstract which instead of looking to the future with where QEMU can go would concentrate on what you can do with QEMU now. What do you think? _____________________________ MY OTHER MACHINE IS VIRTUAL Alex Bennée _____________________________ YVR18 When working with new architectures there is often a scramble for getting access to hardware. However hardware comes with it's own problems - especially when it's new. It's hard to upgrade, hard to poke around inside and hard to experiment with. This is an area where QEMU can help. Thanks to it cross-architecture emulation and ability to run full-system emulation it provides a platform for experimentation without the potential consequences of turning your new board into a inanimate brick. This talk will start with an overview of QEMU and how various configurations can be setup. We'll then examine various features available that allow us to examine the run time behaviour of code inside QEMU as well as discuss some of its limitations. Finally we'll look at some experiments that would be hard to do with real hardware and what they can tell us about the code we are running. -- Alex Bennée

[TCWG-1424] Using profile feedback to investigate code size - Have most of the information I need to draw some conclusions. Should have the remaining runs I need over the weekend. - Next step is to analyse the data a bit more formally and write up. - Discuss next steps. It may be worth polishing up the pass and posting upstream as an RFC. - Would like to wrap the investigation up by the end of July On holiday on Friday 20th July and Monday 23rd July, back in the office on Tuesday 24th.

4 day week, on holiday monday Submitted a Linaro Connect presentation. [TCWG-1424] Investigate profile feedback for code-size Frustrating week trying to plug profile feedback into builds and benchmarks and get sensible results - First attempt was to use clang 2 stage pgo build -- New pass manager has a bug that prevents clang from linking when I enable clang instrumented profiling (local ref into discarded comdat group containing counters) -- Sample based profiling requires building create_llvm_prof from Google's autofdo repository. Does not build out of the box after it switched to using git submodules for its dependencies, managed to fix up makefile to get it built. -- Tried a sample profiling run but with perf's sampling rate and clang's running time mean that the number of samples is too small to give meaningful results. -- The version of perf on my machine doesn't support incremental profiling so I can't accumulate data from multiple runs. -- Inlining before my pass to mark functions for size optimisation accounts for majority of code size increase. - Second attempt was integrating clang/llvm profiling into spec -- Spent way longer than I'd expected working out how to write a config file that handles sample and instrumentation based profile runs. Both forms require the profile generated from perf or an instrumented build to be post-processed before being used as an input for the next stage. The sample profiling also needs the path to the training executable which isn't obvious how to do. -- Got SpecInt running with all the various combinations that I want to run, haven't had time to do full runs to get results yet

[VIRT-198 # QEMU: SVE Emulation Support ] Fixed a couple of bugs uncovered by Alex's VQ16 traces. [VIRT-249 # SVE System Mode ] Tracked a phantom kernel crash for a while before it magically went away with a qemu from-scratch rebuild. (Plus other stuff, maybe? I tried a lot of things.) Wrote a version of helper_sve_ldff1_bb_r that works on pages, and works with softmmu. time ./bld/tests/test-strlen softmmu: 0m5.467s linux-user (old): 0m2.016s linux-user (new): 0m1.853s Still need to generalize this to the other first-fault/ no-fault helpers. And possibly write some synthetic test cases for them. Certainly they've not been tested so far by anything. [QEMU Upstream] * tcg-next pull request. * Review of some ppc fpu patches went too many rounds before I broke down and wrote some patches myself. * More nanomips review.

[TCWG-1368] Tracked down libfuzzer buildbot failures on aarch64 and raised PR [TCWG-1424] Use profile information for size optimisation - Decided to use clang's 2-stage PGO build as next experiment with compile times on the full test suite as the performance benchmarks - Spent rather too much time trying to inject an extra c-flag into the right stage of the bootstrap builds. As a consolation I know a little bit more about the bootstrap builds. - Just measuring code size the profile guided feedback builds of clang are roughly 33% larger than standard clang, with cold functions optimised for size this drops to 25% larger. Still waiting for performance figures for all runs. It is looking like in its current formulation the size optimisation might offer most of the benefits of PGO but with a lower code size impact. It misses the original goal of keeping the performance of non-PGO optimisation but lower overall size. [Misc] Tracked down a LLD static build failure with a recent glibc. Looks like it won't affect Arm and AArch64 as it is related to X86 relaxed got relocations to ifunc resolvers. Planned absences - Holiday Monday 9th July

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 29 June

[TCWG-1424] Investigation into profile and size optimisations - Completed the pass and got it working on both the old and new pass managers - Spent quite a bit of time trying to understand how llvm classifies hot and cold functions, a lot of the details are not documented well or at all. - Found another problem with --pgo and lnt when the exec-multisample option is used. I've applied a local fix to stop the extra runs from triggering profile collection - Upstream lnt doesn't seem to collect code size information for a benchmarks-only run, wrote a script to measure and inject it back. - Got some benchmark figures on the pass. Difficult to interpret as I suspect that too many of the benchmarks are too small to give useful results. There seemed to be some huge regressions when a critical function stopped getting inlined, but overall performance was comparable. I need to find some better benchmarks and learn how to make sense of results. [TCWG-1368] Buildbot failure investigation Decided to take a look as an exercise in using the packet.net machines. Some libfuzzer tests are hanging or taking an extremely long time to run on aarch64. Reproduced on one of TCWGs packet.net machines. At early stage of investigation right now as there doesn't seem to be any obvious answers or easily available diagnostics.

[VIRT-198 # QEMU: SVE Emulation Support ] Implemented FCADD, FCMLA, SDOT, UDOT. Posted v5 patch set. [VIRT-210 # SVE first-fault and no-fault loads ] Implemented for user-only. Posted an RFC for using a rwlock instead of a mutex to protect from mmap changes. Emilio Cota wants perf numbers. Rebased previous glibc sve string patches to align with the cortex-strings work reviewed by Richard Sandiford. Found that strrchr fails with glibc's testsuite even though it didn't work cortex-strings' testsuite. Found that it would *really* help to have a gdb that understands the new sve registers, especially predicates. Found that some sve support is now upstream in gdb. Added some support to the qemu gdbstub, but so far it just crashes gdb. [Upstream] Patch review; the big tickets being SVE RISU and nanoMIPS. r~

[TCWG-1424] Profile guided information code size investigation. - Wrote up initial findings in Jira - Have written a pass that works with both the new and old pass manager that I can use to selectively add size optimisation attributes to functions. - Spent way too much time trying to work out where to put the pass in both the old and new pass manager. -- I now understand why the new pass manager is required to get the most benefits of profile feedback. -- I now understand a bit better some of the frustrations of the old pass manager. -- I can see why the new pass manager isn't quite ready yet. - Fixed up, I think, -fprofile-instr-generate in the new pass manager. I didn't realise that were two separate instrumentation methods as -fprofile-generate is subtly different. Misc: - Updated state of sanitizer tests on Arm and AArch64 to enable a PR to be closed.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release GCC 7.3-2018.05

by Mark Murray

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 7.3-2018.05 Release is now available. *Notice*: GCC 7.1 ABI change for arm*-*-* targets, and note for aarch64*-*-* targets From GCC 7.1 release notes: On ARM targets (arm*-*-*), a bug introduced in GCC 5 that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS) has been fixed. The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. This is an ABI change. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 GCC 5 and GCC 6 releases will continue to be affected by the ABI bug, since changing ABI in these releases is not practical. A warning enabled by -Wpsabi option was added to GCC 5 and GCC 6 toolchains to diagnose codebases that might be affected by the ABI bug. Additionally, this same bug was present in AArch64 backend in development versions of GCC 7. There was no releases of GCC with this bug present in AArch64 backend, therefore the release notes does not mention this. However, be advised that any code bases built with development versions of GCC 7 need to be recompiled with released version of GCC 7 to conform to ABI.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release GCC 6.4-2018.05

by Mark Murray

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 6.4-2018.05 Release is now available. The GCC 6 Release series has significant changes from the GCC 5 release series. For an explanation of the changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/changes.html For help in porting to GCC 6 please see the following explanation: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html Download release packages from: (sources) http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.4-2018.05/ (binaries) http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.4-2018.05/ Previous snapshots and release-candidates are at: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ Previous releases are at: http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ A description of the arm and AArch64 target triples can be found at: https://collaborate.linaro.org/display/TCWGPUB/ARM+and+AArch64+Target+Tripl… Host Requirements ================== Linaro officially supports the current and previous Ubuntu LTS releases (as of the time of this release). This does not mean that the toolchain will not work on other/older Linux distributions. See the following for the life-time of Ubuntu LTS releases. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases The host system upon which the cross-compiler will run requires a minimum of glibc 2.14, because of API changes to glibc's memcpy API. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1869 Package Versions ================= Linaro GCC 6.4-2018.05 http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.4-2018.05/ Linaro glibc 2.23 (linaro/2.23/master) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2016-02/msg00009.html Linaro newlib 2.4-2016.03 (linaro_2.4-branch) https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2016/msg00370.html Linaro binutils 2.27 (users/linaro/binutils-2_27-branch) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin… Linaro GDB 8.1 (gdb-8.1-branch) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-01/msg00016.html Linaro toolchain package git branches are hosted at: http://git.linaro.org/toolchain NEWS for GCC 6 (as of Linaro GCC 6.4-2018.05) ============================================== * Runtest and gdbserver are no longer installed in the toolchain bin/ directory. Binary releases no longer include runtest at all, and gdbserver is a target tool; it is now shipped in the sysroot under usr/bin/. LDTS case #2211: gdbserver and runtest in GCC binary release are in the wrong place or have the wrong name * Gdbserver is no longer linked statically, because this is currently unsupported. Linaro bugzilla #3344: gdbserver broken in Linaro 2017.02 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3344 * Previous MinGW hosted version of Linaro GCC C preprocessor failed to convert character set used for string, character constants, etc. This is fixed in this release. Linaro bugzilla #3040 : CC1 and cc1plus cannot convert UTF-8. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3040 * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05 snapshot added support for -mpure-code option to ARMv7-M and ARMv8-M targets. This option ensures functions are put into sections that contain only code and no data. * The GDB version was upgraded from GDB 8.0 to 8.1. * Previous versions of the Linaro GCC 6 toolchain, when -static -E/—dynamic-list are passed to the linker, might create executables with dynamic sections which aren’t supported by run-time. This was exhibited in Perf Tools build system and has been fixed upstream and backported into Linaro Binutils 2.27 branch. Linaro bugzilla #2926 : Perf tools compiled statically for AArch64 with Linaro release 6.1 and later ones was not statically linked. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2926 * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.03 snapshot fixed some ILP32 issues (TLS, exception handling, …) and these have been incorporated into this release. * Previous versions of the Linaro GCC 6 toolchain were incorrectly generating floating-point code for soft-float Linux targets (arm-linux-gnueabi, and armeb-linux-gnueabi). This escaped detection until recently because the soft-float targeted toolchains were configured to use general-purpose registers for passing floating-point values (which is what you would expect for soft-float toolchains) and the intra-routine floating-code was not noticed. The issue would only show up on targets that were run on hardware that truly didn't have floating-point hardware where the kernel did not trap and emulate floating-point routines. This has been solved in Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.02-rc2 by configuring the toolchain (using --with-float=soft) to generate code without any floating-point instructions at all (-mfloat-abi=soft). https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16968/2 This change should not break compatibility between existing binaries compiled with these toolchains since the float-point parameter passing ABI is still the same. * A bug/regression in the compiler has been identified whereby the target function that is invoked when calling a "weak" function directly is the "strong" override, whereas when calling the function via a pointer the "weak" implementation is used. This would be noticed as inconsistent function invocation when invoking directly vs. invoking via function pointer. This issue only affected 32-bit arm targets. This regression has been fixed upstream and backported into Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.02-rc2. GCC PR target/78253: [5/6/7 Regression] [ARM] call weak function instead of strong when called through pointer. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78253 Linaro bugzilla #2562: ARM GCC 5.2 call weak function instead of strong when called through pointer https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2562 * MS Windows does not support symlinks and the MS Windows archive extractor does not properly deep copy the symlink target files/directories into the symlinked directory structure when unpacking the toolchain archive. This causes problems with missing dependencies when using the Linaro mingw toolchains, as identified in the following bugs: https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2684 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2192 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2762 This has been solved by copying files rather than using symlinks when the mingw targetted toolchain archives are created. https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16415/ * Users of Linaro's toolchain have encountered problems when building projects with Autotools (specifically libtool): https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764 The Linaro binary toolchain release contained files with a .la suffix as artifacts of the toolchain build process. These .la files are helper files for libtool, but unlike a gcc install tree, they are not position independent and contain full paths. Since these artifacts contain absolute paths they can actually mislead user invocation of libtool into not finding required libraries (because they reference the build tree, not the install location) and hence breaking Autotools builds. These *.la file artifacts have been removed from Linaro toolchain binaries because they are unnecessary for users. * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.01 snapshot added further enablement for ARMv8-M and these have been incorporated into this release. * Compiling and statically linking some SPEC2006int tests against tcmalloc have been failing due to a problem with glibc's memory allocator function overrides. This was fixed upstream: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20432 Backported into Linaro glibc 2.23: commit 058b5a41d56b9a8860dede14d97dd443792d064b Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer(a)redhat.com> Date: Fri Aug 26 22:40:27 2016 +0200 malloc: Simplify static malloc interposition [BZ #20432] * Host binaries for x86_64 linux hosts now have symbols and debug information stripped in order to reduce the size of the toolchain binary archives. This reduces the archive size from 1.5G to 600M for aarch64-linux-gnu target with the gcc-6-branch. * The GDB version was upgraded from GDB 7.11 in the Linaro GCC 6.1-2016.08 release to GDB 7.12 in the Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11 release. * The Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.10 snapshot added AArch32 support for ARMv8.2 and ARMv8m, as well as some AArch64 fixes for ARMv8.2, and bug fixes merged from FSF GCC 6.2. This is available in the binary toolchain as of Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11. * Basic tuning support for the Qualcomm qdf24xx was added to the Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.10 snapshot and is available in the binary toolchain as of Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11. * IFUNC was disabled for baremetal targets, as it was causing test-suite failures, and is presently a Linux only feature. * The gold linker was added to this binary release. * Backported malloc_lock fix into Linaro newlib 2.4. commit 2665915cfc46aa6403bb2efd473c523d3167e0cb Author: Andre Vieira (lists) <Andre.SimoesDiasVieira(a)arm.com> Date: Thu Jun 16 12:23:51 2016 +0100 Re-enable malloc_lock for newlib-nano * Backported rawmemchr patch into Linaro newlib 2.4. commit e7b1ee2ea6aa3ee1da41976407410e6202a098c5 Author: Wilco Dijkstra <Wilco.Dijkstra(a)arm.com> Date: Thu May 12 16:16:58 2016 +0000 Add rawmemchr * Backported strlen fix when using Thumb-2 and -Os -marm into Linaro newlib 2.4. commit 5c02bcc086a96b174e1b9e1445a4a1770070107a Author: Thomas Preud'homme <thomas.preudhomme(a)arm.com> Date: Wed May 11 17:18:48 2016 -0400 Fix strlen using Thumb-2 with -Os -marm * Backported fix for semihosting ARM when heapinfo not provided by debugger into Linaro newlib 2.4. commit 5c9403eaf40951f8a4f55ed65f661b485ff44be7 Author: David Hoover <spm2(a)dangerous.li> Date: Thu Apr 21 07:12:24 2016 +0200 Fixed semihosting for ARM when heapinfo not provided by debugger. * Merged latest FSF glibc release/2.23/master into Linaro glibc 2.23. * Backported __ASSUME_REQUEUE_PI check Linaro glibc 2.23 branch. commit 2d20c3bf918cd94ebd4106693adb3a5c9272baba Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Tue May 17 10:16:39 2016 -0300 Add runtime check for __ASSUME_REQUEUE_PI (BZ# 18463) * Backported removal of __ASSUME_SET_ROBUST_LIST from Linaro glibc 2.23 branch. commit bb8f09d72756186a3d82a1f7b2adcf8bc1fbaed1 Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Mon May 16 19:01:10 2016 -0300 Remove __ASSUME_SET_ROBUST_LIST * Backported removal of __ASSUME_FUTEX_LOCK_PI from Linaro glibc 2.23 branch. commit e48b4e7fed0de06dd7832ead48bea8ebc813a204 Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Mon May 16 10:35:25 2016 -0300 Remove __ASSUME_FUTEX_LOCK_PI * Merged latest FSF binutils-2_27-branch into linaro_binutils-2_27-branch. * The libwinpthread DLL is now copied into the host bin directory to satisfy mingw package dependencies. * Backported GNU Linker fix. commit fbc6c6763e70cb2376e2de990c7fc54c0ee44a59 Author: Nick Clifton <nickc(a)redhat.com> Date: Tue Aug 23 09:45:11 2016 +0100 Fix seg-fault in ARM linker when trying to parse a binary file. * Backported GNU Assembler fix for PR 20364 commit 5fe7ebe5ab43750abf8f490b785d99a1e598e7fd Author: Nick Clifton <nickc(a)redhat.com> Date: Fri Aug 5 10:37:57 2016 +0100 Fix the generation of alignment frags in code sections for AArch64. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20364 * Performance related backports from the following snapshots have been included: Linaro GCC 6.1-2016.06, Linaro GCC 6.1-2016.07, Linaro GCC 6.1-2016.08, Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.09, Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.10, Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11, Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.12, Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.01, Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.02, Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.03, Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.04, Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05, Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.06, Linaro GCC 6.4-2017.07, Linaro GCC 6.4-2017.08, Linaro GCC 6.4-2017.09, Linaro GCC 6.4-2017.10 and Linaro GCC 6.4-2018.04.

SVE routines for cortex-strings

I spoke with Ramana about these at HKG18, and I'm finally getting back to these. I have routines for -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2538 May 30 19:12 memchr.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2405 May 30 20:49 memcmp.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2385 May 30 19:12 rawmemchr.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2470 May 30 19:12 strchrnul.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2588 May 30 19:12 strchr.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2370 May 30 19:12 strcmp.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2403 May 30 19:12 strcpy.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2263 May 30 19:12 strlen.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2595 May 30 19:12 strncmp.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 2344 May 30 19:12 strnlen.S -rw-rw-r--. 1 rth rth 3105 May 30 19:12 strrchr.S The tests pass when run under Foundation Platform 11.3. What is the best way to submit these for review and upstreaming? There's nothing in the git README about an upstream mailing list...

Progress: [VIRT-198 # QEMU: SVE Emulation Support ] Another round of patches merged. About 25 remaing. Implemented MOVPRFX, for which I had plans but forgot to actually implement. Discovered that the advance planning that I have added for this isn't really sufficient. For the purposes of initial upstreaming, I'll emulate them as plain moves. With MOVPRFX done, feedback from Ori.Chalak(a)Huawei.com: > Thank you so much for the quick resolution. > I have run successfully 466 tests of the OpenBLAS benchmark suite on > the branch tag of Qemu you sent me, with SVE instructions compiled > from C using ARM Compiler and Gnu linker. > All pass without any failure. > Did not verify functional correctness, just that all instructions > are run by your Qemu branch in user mode and Qemu completes the job > without a crash. [Upstream] Third iteration on splitting do_syscall. Patch review; pull request for Cota's tb_lock patch set. Tracked down a TB offset overflow affecting a softmmu NEON test case. [GCC] Sent some patches for MOVPRFX to Richard Sandiford. He offered to test them over the weekend before posting them to gcc-patches.

TCWG-1319 ICF support in clang and lld - Reviewed LLD patches TCWG-1424 Investigate profile information for code-size - Spent some time tracking down problem with using perf=profile and run_under simultaneously. Posted patch upstream. - Investigated how llvm makes use of profile information and found an analysis pass that can be adapted to get the information I'm likely to need. Other - Worked on side-project for tiny-code model. Got it passing the test-suite modulo TLS and one test that was too large for the code model. - Have a good idea of what I'll need to do for TLS, will need to start with assembler support. - Landed https://reviews.llvm.org/D45959 one step closer to removing MCSubargetInfo from assembler backend.

Question About Trusted Application (.ta)

by Yin Liu

Hello, I'm learning the Trusted application that can be run in the TEE. I was wondering whether there are some ways to check the .ta file's instructions, just like using objdump or readelf on ELF. I'm also interested how does the .ta be protected? What's the difference between the .ta and normal executable? Would it be possible to give me some information about that? Thanks in advance! Brs, YL

Aarch64 Toolchain - aarch64-elf-gcc.exe: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory - additional info

by Glen Verran

Hi there I apologize for posting this again as I was not subscribed to the mailing list on posting my first message, so if the first message made to the list without me being a subscriber, I apologize. I added some more info as to my issue below. I need to cross-compile an application written in C for ARM v8 (aarch64) and found the toolchain on your website. I am running Windows 10 using Cygwin 32-bit as I am already compiling for arm6, arm7 and Linux (x86 and x64) successfully. I downloaded https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest/aarch64-el… and deployed it into my Cygwin installation with no issues. When I ran my script, I get the following error message: aarch64-elf-gcc.exe: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory I enabled verbose mode on the GCC and the result is below. My Cygwin's default GCC version is 4.8.3, but I am running 7.2.1 for this. I also tried 4.9.4 as well using a different Cygwin instance. Can you please advise how I can get around this error? I am able to cross-compile using the 100% exact script with all other architectures with the only difference being the toolchain and architecture. I also found references to C:\cygwin\bin in the logs (note the backslashes instead of forward slashes) below which I'd imagine would cause the issue I am experiencing as I have no way to alter the -iprefix in the COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS as I am not setting this parameter - seems the GCC compiler is injecting this in. I also realised that I needed to use the linux-gnu version of the toolchain and not the ELF version which I did, but got the same results. Cygwin DLL version (just in case). I called: cygcheck -p cygwin1.dll |grep "cygwin:" And it returned: cygwin-2.10.0-1 - cygwin: The UNIX emulation engine cygwin-2.8.2-1 - cygwin: The UNIX emulation engine cygwin-2.9.0-3 - cygwin: The UNIX emulation engine 7.2.1 Using built-in specs.

[ACTIVITY] - Landed D44928, we should pass the subtarget through to fixups and relaxation now. The only remaining use of the subtarget in the assembler backend is for writeNop(). Patches to fix that are upstream but I'm not hopeful that anyone will want to review them due to the cost/benefit. - Wrote up some thoughts on Maxim's idea to use pgo to optimize hot code for time, but cold code for size in an attempt to retain as much as performance as possible while reducing code-size. - Some investigation into the --pgo option of lnt. There seem to be some pre-requisites and some interactions that have made it difficult to get results: -- Needs compiler-rt, duh! But it didn't tell me until after I'd waited for everything to compile. -- Failed when I enabled perf and pgo, looks to be a configuration problem where profile-generate and profile-use are set simultaneously. Probably a cmake problem. - Some work on side-project to implement the tiny code model -- Have something working on small examples, much more testing needed. -- Need to decide what to do about TLS.

Progress: [VIRT-198 # QEMU: SVE Emulation Support ] Part 2 posted. [Upstream] Review of tb_lock removal; it's failing it's own asserts. :-/ Respin interp_dirfd patchset, now with host fd protection. Posted an RFC for splitting up the ~5000 line do_syscall function. [Cortex Strings] Found two bugs in my sve string implementations. Submitted the results to cortex-strings. (This is the mechanism by which I plan to test the first-fault load implementation within qemu; the testsuite tries string operations near a page boundary.)

[ACTIVITY] Upstream reviews for LLD. Trying to be more proactive here now that there are fewer maintainers. [TCWG-1420] Initial investigation into some proposed linker enhancements for embedded systems - Mostly features already implemented in proprietary linkers such as AT and an equivalent to .any. - Completed initial investigation with links to TI/IAR documentation, binutils discussions. - Some thoughts on which of the features might be implemented cleanly enough to be upstreamed. Pinged llvm-mc subtarget reviews (no response) Spent some more time investigating a tiny-code model for AArch64 in an attempt to teach myself more about LLVM.

[ACTIVITY] Week ending 24th May

by Peter Smith

Half of the week spent investigating identical code folding -icf=safe. Turns out that upstream have a proposal that is much further along so shifted focus on to doing as much as I can to help it along. Found out that for some use cases of AArch64 PIC the small code model is inappropriate as the code segments may not be 4k aligned. Started looking into what it would take to implement the tiny code model in LLVM (supports only small and large at the moment). Built a small prototype to handle the easiest absolute addressing case, much more work needed to handle PIC and TLS. Not a lot of tangible progress, but I think I have learned a bit more about LLVM. Planned Absences - Friday 25th May (holiday). - Monday 28th May (UK public holiday)

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 7.3-2018.05-rc1

by Mark Murray

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 7.3-2018.05-rc1 Release-Candidate is now available. *Notice*: GCC 7.1 ABI change for arm*-*-* targets, and note for aarch64*-*-* targets From GCC 7.1 release notes: On ARM targets (arm*-*-*), a bug introduced in GCC 5 that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS) has been fixed. The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. This is an ABI change. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 GCC 5 and GCC 6 releases will continue to be affected by the ABI bug, since changing ABI in these releases is not practical. A warning enabled by -Wpsabi option was added to GCC 5 and GCC 6 toolchains to diagnose codebases that might be affected by the ABI bug. Additionally, this same bug was present in AArch64 backend in development versions of GCC 7. There was no releases of GCC with this bug present in AArch64 backend, therefore the release notes does not mention this. However, be advised that any code bases built with development versions of GCC 7 need to be recompiled with released version of GCC 7 to conform to ABI. For an explanation of GCC 7 series changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html For help in porting to GCC 7 please see the following explanation: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/porting_to.html Download release-candidate packages from: (sources) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.3-2018.05-rc1/ (binaries) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05-rc1/ Previous snapshots and release-candidates are at: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ Previous releases are at: http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ A description of the arm and AArch64 target triples can be found at: https://collaborate.linaro.org/display/TCWGPUB/ARM+and+AArch64+Target+Tripl… Host Requirements ================== Linaro officially supports the current and previous Ubuntu LTS releases (as of the time of this release).

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 6.4-2018.05-rc1

Linaro bugzilla #3040 : CC1 and cc1plus cannot convert UTF-8. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3040 * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05 snapshot added support for -mpure-code option to ARMv7-M and ARMv8-M targets. This option ensures functions are put into sections that contain only code and no data. * The GDB version was upgraded from GDB 8.0 to 8.1. * Previous versions of the Linaro GCC 6 toolchain, when -static -E/—dynamic-list are passed to the linker, might create executables with dynamic sections which aren’t supported by run-time. This was exhibited in Perf Tools build system and has been fixed upstream and backported into Linaro Binutils 2.27 branch. Linaro bugzilla #2926 : Perf tools compiled statically for AArch64 with Linaro release 6.1 and later ones was not statically linked. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2926 * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.03 snapshot fixed some ILP32 issues (TLS, exception handling, …) and these have been incorporated into this release. * Previous versions of the Linaro GCC 6 toolchain were incorrectly generating floating-point code for soft-float Linux targets (arm-linux-gnueabi, and armeb-linux-gnueabi). This escaped detection until recently because the soft-float targeted toolchains were configured to use general-purpose registers for passing floating-point values (which is what you would expect for soft-float toolchains) and the intra-routine floating-code was not noticed. The issue would only show up on targets that were run on hardware that truly didn't have floating-point hardware where the kernel did not trap and emulate floating-point routines. This has been solved in Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.02-rc2 by configuring the toolchain (using --with-float=soft) to generate code without any floating-point instructions at all (-mfloat-abi=soft). https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16968/2 This change should not break compatibility between existing binaries compiled with these toolchains since the float-point parameter passing ABI is still the same. * A bug/regression in the compiler has been identified whereby the target function that is invoked when calling a "weak" function directly is the "strong" override, whereas when calling the function via a pointer the "weak" implementation is used. This would be noticed as inconsistent function invocation when invoking directly vs. invoking via function pointer. This issue only affected 32-bit arm targets. This regression has been fixed upstream and backported into Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.02-rc2. GCC PR target/78253: [5/6/7 Regression] [ARM] call weak function instead of strong when called through pointer. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78253 Linaro bugzilla #2562: ARM GCC 5.2 call weak function instead of strong when called through pointer https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2562 * MS Windows does not support symlinks and the MS Windows archive extractor does not properly deep copy the symlink target files/directories into the symlinked directory structure when unpacking the toolchain archive. This causes problems with missing dependencies when using the Linaro mingw toolchains, as identified in the following bugs: https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2684 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2192 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2762 This has been solved by copying files rather than using symlinks when the mingw targetted toolchain archives are created. https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16415/ * Users of Linaro's toolchain have encountered problems when building projects with Autotools (specifically libtool): https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764 The Linaro binary toolchain release contained files with a .la suffix as artifacts of the toolchain build process. These .la files are helper files for libtool, but unlike a gcc install tree, they are not position independent and contain full paths. Since these artifacts contain absolute paths they can actually mislead user invocation of libtool into not finding required libraries (because they reference the build tree, not the install location) and hence breaking Autotools builds. These *.la file artifacts have been removed from Linaro toolchain binaries because they are unnecessary for users. * The Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.01 snapshot added further enablement for ARMv8-M and these have been incorporated into this release. * Compiling and statically linking some SPEC2006int tests against tcmalloc have been failing due to a problem with glibc's memory allocator function overrides. This was fixed upstream: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20432 Backported into Linaro glibc 2.23: commit 058b5a41d56b9a8860dede14d97dd443792d064b Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer(a)redhat.com> Date: Fri Aug 26 22:40:27 2016 +0200 malloc: Simplify static malloc interposition [BZ #20432] * Host binaries for x86_64 linux hosts now have symbols and debug information stripped in order to reduce the size of the toolchain binary archives. This reduces the archive size from 1.5G to 600M for aarch64-linux-gnu target with the gcc-6-branch. * The GDB version was upgraded from GDB 7.11 in the Linaro GCC 6.1-2016.08 release to GDB 7.12 in the Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11 release. * The Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.10 snapshot added AArch32 support for ARMv8.2 and ARMv8m, as well as some AArch64 fixes for ARMv8.2, and bug fixes merged from FSF GCC 6.2.

[Activity] [TCWG-1319] Link AOSP with LLD. Closed this out as I've gone as far as I can profitably go without being an Android expert. - With trunk LLD I can now link and boot AOSP with LLD without any use_clang_lld=false on both Arm and AArch64 emulators. I also managed to get it to boot on a Hikey960 (aarch64). - Communicated recent additions to LLD in aid of building AOSP, and extra command line options needed to the Google team. Landed support for GCC inline assembly constraint S in LLVM. Some comments on LTO + linker script proposal on llvm-dev mailing list. Started thinking in more detail about ICF=safe. - Decided that LLVM was a better place to do this than clang after attempting to use libtooling. - There is an existing LLVM pass called merge functions that does what ICF does but at the LLVM IR level -- This is off by default, maybe worth looking at as part of LTO and code-size reductions. - Started to write a prototype pass that uses Function::isAddressTaken() although I think that this may give me too pessimistic a result.

Progress: [short week, 3 days] * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + code review - make system registers visible via gdbstub - Richard's patches to fix various softfloat issues * VIRT-164 [improve Cortex-M emulation] + MPC emulation: - rebased and fixed up conflicts with a different series that touched the same parts of the memory system - realised that passing txattrs to IOMMUs means we need to change the notifier API; came up with a plan to handle this by using "IOMMU indexes" analogous to our existing TCG MMU indexes. Updated everything to the new API that comes out of that approach. - started on tidying up the final loose ends; hope to have something I can send to the list early next week thanks -- PMM

Sent pull for Emilio's TranslateOps patches. Sent pull for my openrisc decodetree patches. Sent pull for tcg-next. Reviewed microblaze patches. Posted two rounds of softfloat snan patches. Posted two rounds of fp16 patches. [VIRT-198 # QEMU: SVE Emulation Support ] Most of this week's work was on indirectly related patch sets. In particular, fp16 and atomics.

Linaro provides only cross-toolchain binaries and we rely on distro to provide native toolchains. In particular, Ubuntu is using Linaro toolchain sources for their gcc-7 builds, so this is the closest one to linaro toolchain. Debian uses FSF sources. -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org

I checked snapshots.linaro.org: https://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.3-2018.04/ But it only has x86 versions. Somebody pinged me from the 96boards community to ask for that. He asked for GCC 7.3. What being used in ERP 17.12, as I checked, is GCC 6.3. Thank you very much. Best regards, Guodong Xu
