arm-eabi toolchain memcpy using hard float causing unaligned access

by Yupeng Chang

Hi Linaro Team, I'm currently using toolchain gcc-linaro-7.1.1-2017.08-x86_64_arm-eabi.tar.xz <https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest/arm-eabi/g…> to develop my bera-metal programs. My compile option is "-marm -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a9 -mlittle-endian -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon" I found an issue, when I use memcpy, and if the DEST or SOURCE address is not 4 bytes aligned, the system hangs. It seems that this toolchain doesn't support using hard float and NEON ? My question is does this toolchain support hard float and NEON in the newlib C library? If I want to use hard float and NEON, how can I do that? Your reply is more appreciated!!

ILP32 toolchain status update

by Maxim Kuvyrkov

Over the last couple of months arm64 community and us have tested various aspects of ILP32 toolchain and, while most of toolchain works as expected, several features are still missing. Most of the work left is on GDB side, especially using LP64 GDB to debug ILP32 applications. 1. [GCC] GCC sanitizers (ASAN, UBSAN) are not supported for ILP32. -- TCWG is working on implementing sanitizer support for ILP32. 2. [GLIBC] LP64 glibc libthread_db does not support ILP32. This causes failures when LP64 GDB is trying to debug ILP32 threaded application. It is expected by users to be able to use LP64 GDB to debug ILP32 applications (LP64 AArch64 GDB can successfully debug AArch32 applications already!). -- Steve, do you plan to work on adding libthread_db support for ILP32? 3. [GDB] Handle ILP32 siginfo layout. Kernel siginfo layout is different between LP64 and ILP32. 4. [GDB] Inferior call passing pointer argument. GDB may need update to handle 32-bit pointer vs 64-bit pointer. 5. Handle shared libraries. GDB needs to read a linked list out of the inferior, and that list is about the libraries loaded already. LP64 and ILP32 may have different layouts. 6. [GDB] GDB resolves ifunc functions, needs to read auxv (HWCAP) from the inferior. auxv is different on LP64 and ILP32. 7. [GDB] Gdbserver support for ILP32. -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org

ILP32 sysroot image

by Adhemerval Zanella

Hi all, I just upload an sysroot image for ILP32 meant to be used on both testing and development on dev-01.tcwglab [1]. It is based on out current ILP32 GCC 7 sysroot plus some tools and it is meant to easier development and testing. It should have all native required tools for GNU development: glibc 2.27 (arm/ilp32 branch) gcc 7.2.1 (linaro/gcc-7-branch) binutils 2.28.2 (linaro_binutils-2_28-branch) gmp 6.1.2 mpfr 3.1.6 mpc 1.0.3 coreutils 8.28 bash 4.4.12 gnumake 4.2 (plus a patch to fix glob usage on glibc 2.27) gawk 4.2 perl 5.26.1 textinfo 6.5 bison 3.0.3 m4 1.4.18 libtool 2.4.5 flex 2.6.4 tcl 8.6.7 expect 5.45.3 dejagnu 1.6 sed 4.4 diffutils 3.6 tar 1.29 gzip 1.8 finutils 4.6.0 I could build and check glibc and binutils and bootstrap gcc. The binutils and gcc tests are working (dejagnu/expect/tcl is installed). To actually get a working VMs to run ILP32 you need a kernel built with different branch than either canonical Linus tree or linux stable. Easier way is to use Maxim's automated script to start a qemu aarch64 instance on r1-a7: $ WORKSPACE=`pwd` bash -x ~maxim.kuvyrkov/src/jenkins-scripts/start-container-qemu.sh \ --weight 2 --node r1-a7 --arch arm64 --distro xenial --task test --prefix ilp32_ \ --kernel_url https://people.linaro.org/~maxim.kuvyrkov/norov-Image --initrd_url \ https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release/unpacked/ubuntu-16.0… \ --session-name ilp32-$USER --newuser $USER --cp_file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys You can then log in the machine as usual ('ssh -P r1-a7.aus-colo') and download the sysroot from dev-01.tcwglab. Just uncompress it and issue the usual chroot command: $ mkdir aarch64-linux-gnu_ilp32/proc; sudo mount -t proc proc aarch64-linux-gnu_ilp32/proc $ mkdir aarch64-linux-gnu_ilp32/sys; sudo mount -t sysfs sys aarch64-linux-gnu_ilp32/sys $ mkdir aarch64-linux-gnu_ilp32/dev; sudo mount -o bind /dev aarch64-linux-gnu_ilp32/dev $ sudo chroot aarch64-linux-gnu_ilp32 A useful package missing is GDB and python, I plan to get them built and I will update the image on dev-01.tcwglab during this week.

[FYI] HCQC(HPC compiler quality checker) on GitHub

by Masaki Arai

Hi, I put HCQC(HPC compiler quality checker) on GitHub. URL: https://github.com/Linaro/hcqc Any comments or suggestions are very welcome. I am going to improve README.md overall and to add more test programs. I will also report the analysis results using HCQC on hpc-sig-devel. The attached PDF file was used to explain HCQC at HPC-SIG SC meeting(11/7). I think you can reproduce the results on this slide if you modify the following part of the configuration file: hcqc/config/clang-config.json "COMMAND" : "/usr/bin/clang", "VERSION" : "4.0.1", hcqc/config/gcc-config.json "COMMAND" : "/usr/bin/gcc-7", "VERSION" : "7.1.1", which you need to fix to suit your environment.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 7.2-2017.11-rc1

by Przemyslaw Wirkus

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.11-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/7.2-2017.11-rc1/ (binaries) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.2-2017.11-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).

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. * 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.

Linux kernel compiling with LTO

by Yury Norov

Hi Maxim, all, Alex Matveev and I try to enable LTO optimization for Linux kernel on ARM64. The work is based on patches from Andi Kleen, and is not complete yet. Maxim recommended to work tightly with toolchain group to understand how to fix problems better - on kernel or compiler side. Links: My unfinished branch: https://github.com/norov/linux/tree/lto Andi Kleen tree: https://github.com/andikleen/linux-misc/tree/lto-411-1 Sami Tolvanen's recent work for clang: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/3/606 Question we have for now: There's mrs_s/msr_s macro that doesn't work with LTO - linker complains very loudly that macro is either not declared, or declared multiple times. (To reproduce - try to build my kernel branch w/o last patch). The same (?) problem is observed with clang, and people there considered it as feature, not a bug. https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19749 We have the fix for both clang and gcc, but it looks hacky. Maybe it worth to fix mrs/msr issue on toolchain side? Thanks, Yury

Linaro GCC CrossCompiler for ARMv8 - Weak Linkage issue

by Veena & Deepak Ramaswamy

All, Using the tool chain that comes with the FVP package that I downloaded last month (Oct 2017), I'm trying to compile the Splash2 benchmark to execute on the latest FVP platform and seeing a compilation issue that goes like this (please see below) To reproduce: 1. download the benchmark from here and follow _all_ the instructions in the homepage: http://www.capsl.udel.edu/splash/Download.html 2. edit the makefile.config under /splash2/codes to use linaro toolchain and choose POSIX_BARRIER for the MACROS section (I've pasted my makefile.config here as well - you will have to modify the toolchain paths to suit your setup) 3. cd to splash2/codes/apps/ocean/contiguous_partitions 4. make (and you will see the problem) Please help. Thanks. ------------------------------------------ /local/mnt/workspace/linaro/tools/gcc/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc jacobcalc.o jacobcalc2.o laplacalc.o linkup.o main.o multi.o slave1.o slave2.o subblock.o -v -O3 -pthread -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wredundant-decls -Wdisabled-optimization -Wpadded -Winline -Wpointer-arith -Wsign-compare -Wendif-labels -lgcc -lc -lm -static -o OCEAN -lm -lc -lgcc -static Using built-in specs.

aarch64 toolchain support NEON and vfp features

by Joy Deng

Hi , I am a SW engineer that use Linaro-toolchain to build images, Recently, I encounter some issue about enable NEON features on ARMv8 processor platform. I cat cpuinfo, can not find neon and vfp feature enable in list, the image was build with aarch-64 toolchian; While, the image built by armv7l toolchain can list "neon and vfp" in cpuinfo. I want to verify from your side, 1. if the toolchain of aarch64 version already enable" neon and vfp " in default, Because I do not find some build items that related with "neon", 2. If not supported defaultly, can you give some suggestion to enable it. Thanks & B.R. Joy Deng

== Progress == * GCC - FDPIC: started reading docs and looking at patches - Neon intrinsics PR71233: duplicates will be removed from the next doc update * GCC upstream validation: - since ubsan merge with upstream, validation of arm targets is now broken. Switching back to qemu-2.7 seems to avoid qemu deadlocks, but there are still new asan test failures after the merge. - reduced the dejagnu timeout to avoid global 'make check' timeouts, but this caused some testcases to become zombies, in turn causing problems in the ST compute farm. - validation on-hold until next so that I can experiment a bit more with workarounds - reported another qemu bug - reported a couple of regressions/breakages in binutils * Infrastructure: * misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....) == Next == * GCC upstream validation * GCC/ubsan * GCC/FDPIC * Short week (off Wed/Thu/Fri)

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 5.5-2017.10-rc1

by Mark Murray

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 5.5-2017.10-rc1 The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 5.5-2017.10-rc1 Release-Candidate is now available. Notice: All Linaro GCC 5 series toolchain users should migrate to the latest version of the Linaro GCC 5 toolchain in order to mitigate potential security exposure to CVE-2015-7547. See the NEWS section below for details. Download release-candidate packages from: (sources) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.5-2017.10-rc1/ (binaries) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.5-2017.10-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). 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 5.5-2017.10-rc1 http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.5-2017.10-rc1/ Linaro glibc 2.21 (linaro/2.21) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2015-02/msg00001.html Linaro newlib 2.1.0-2014.09 (linaro_newlib-branch) https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2013/msg01128.html Linaro binutils 2.25 (linaro_binutils-2_25-branch) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin… FSF GDB 7.12 (gdb-7.12-branch) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2016-10/msg00007.html Linaro toolchain package git branches are hosted at: http://git.linaro.org/toolchain NEWS for GCC 5 (as of Linaro GCC 5.5-2017.10-rc1) ================================================== * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2575: ICE: declaration and definition of function with __attribute__((target("thumb"))) and inlined assembler, with debug symbols enabled https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2575 * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2575: Internal compiler error using -mtune=cortex-a57.cortex-a53. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2785 * The soft-float targeted toolchains have now been configured to generate code using -mfloat-abi=soft. This makes arm-linux-gnueabi and armeb-linux-gnueabi toolchains use the “soft” FP ABI instead of “softfp”. Historically, TCWG’s toolchains provided both “soft” and “softfp” multilibs, but when switching from crosstool-ng to cbuildv2/abe (which support a single multilib) “softfp” multilib was choosen. Using “-mfloat-abi=soft” is a better choice for a gnueabi toolchain, since it doesn’t require cores to have a floating-point unit. This change should not break compatibility for toolchain users since the ABI will stay the same. The compiler and glibc libraries will not refernce FP instructions. * Include GCC fix for 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 * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #1925: [regression] FAIL: libgomp.fortran/retval1.f90 -O1 execution test https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1925 * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2185: aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ internal compiler error: in curr_insn_transform https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2185 * Backported glibc patch to simplify static malloc interposition [BZ #20432] to correct user identified issue. commit 058b5a41d56b9a8860dede14d97dd443792d064b Author: Florian Weimer 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 1.1G to 580M for aarch64-linux-gnu target with the gcc-5-branch. * Removed .la files from binary toolchain archive as these files break autotools builds. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764 * The mingw toolchains are now archived using the rsync -L option in order to avoid problems with Windows extractors and symbolic links. https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16415/ This resolves the following user 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 * Copy the libwinpthread DLL into the bin directories so it gets into the tmp directory before tar is run. https://review.linaro.org/#/c/13723/ * Increment binutils release date to 2016_02 to reflect the most recent commit: commit ef90a4718f535cbe6345b4e7168baea7b1972abf Author: Matthew Wahab <matthew.wahab(a)arm.com> Date: Tue Jan 12 16:35:30 2016 +0000 [ARM] Support ARMv8.2 RAS extension. * Baremetal sysroot names now contain 'newlib' rather than 'glibc'. * Manifests now contain relative paths rather than absolute paths. * Now generating proper manifest files. * Fixed pi requeue support in glibc 2.21 while allowing the existing 2.21 minimum kernel default setting.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 6 and 7 2017.10 source snapshots

by Mark Murray

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2017.10 snapshot of Linaro GCC 6 and 7 source packages. o The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug (present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS). 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. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI change. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 For an explanation of the changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html o Linaro GCC 7 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 7.2+svn253626 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. The contents of this snapshot will be part of the 2017.11 stable[2] quarterly release. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.2-2017.10/ Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include: * Updates to GCC 7.2+svn253626 o Linaro GCC 6 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 6.4+svn253668 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. This snapshot contents will be part of the next maintenance release. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.4-2017.10/ Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include: * Updates to GCC 6.4+svn253668 o Subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to stay on top of Linaro development. ** Linaro Toolchain Development "mailing list": http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain ** Linaro Toolchain IRC channel on irc.freenode.net at @#linaro-tcwg@ * Bug reports should be filed in bugzilla against GCC product: http://bugs.linaro.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GCC * Interested in commercial support? inquire at "Linaro support": mailto:support@linaro.org [1]. Source package snapshots are defined when the compiler is only put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed. [2]. Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 6 and 7 2017.09 source snapshots

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2017.09 snapshot of Linaro GCC 6 and 7 source packages. o The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug (present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS). 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. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI change. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 For an explanation of the changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html o Linaro GCC 7 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 7.2+svn252337 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC.

If you want, you use bit-fields; there is one bool already there which means you can fit 8 bits in the same area as currently taken up by that one. Yes. I should have checked the mem_attrs structure.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release GCC 7.1-2017.08

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.08 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. 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 packages from: (sources) http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.1-2017.08/ (binaries) http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.1-2017.08/ 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).

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. * 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.

These .la files are helper files for libtool, but unlike a gcc install tree, they are not position independent and contain full paths.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 6 and 7 2017.08 source snapshots

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2017.08 snapshot of Linaro GCC 6 and 7 source packages. o The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug (present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS). 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. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI change. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 For an explanation of the changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html o Linaro GCC 7 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 7.2+svn251138 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. The contents of this snapshot will be part of the 2017.11 stable[2] quarterly release. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.2-2017.08/ Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include: * Updates to GCC 7.2+svn251138 * Backports from mainline: - [Bugfix] [AArch32] PR target/79665: Improve Cortex-A53 shift bypass - [Bugfix] PR lto/69866 lto1: internal compiler error: in add_symbol_to_partition_1, at lto/lto-partition.c:158 - [AArch32] Improve Cortex-A53 FP scheduler - [AArch64] Add rcpc extension - [AArch64] Do not increase data alignment at -Os and with -fconserve-stack. - [AArch64] Emit SIMD moves as mov - [AArch64] Enable software prefetching (-fprefetch-loop-arrays) for ThunderX 88xxx - [AArch64] Fix atomic_cmp_exchange_zero_reg_1.c with +lse - [AArch64] Fix failing lrint inline tests on bare-metal - [AArch64] Fix ILP32 memory access - [AArch64] Improve/correct ThunderX 1 cost model for Arith_shift - [AArch64] Improve dup pattern - [AArch64] Inline calls to lrint when possible - [AArch64] Literal vector construction through vcombine is poor - [Misc] Fold (A / (1 << B)) to (A >> B) - [Testsuite] [AArch32] Allow arm_arch_*_ok to test several macros - [Testsuite] [AArch32] Make gcc.target/arm/its.c more robust - [Testsuite] [AArch32] Require arm_arch_v8a_ok for sdiv_costs_1.c - [Testsuite] [AArch32] sdiv_costs_1.c: Disable on softfloat - [Testsuite] [AArch32] sdiv_costs_1.c: Require arm_v8_vfp_ok - [Testsuite] [AArch32] sdiv_costs_1.c: Use dg-add-options - [Cleanup] [AArch64] Rearrange the processors in aarch64-cores.def - [Cleanup] Update comment about is_leaf - [Doc] [AArch64] Document RcPc extension o Linaro GCC 6 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 6.4+svn251111 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC.

Q: reasons for lack of support for C++ in OP-TEE?

by Godmar Back

In a recent github thread <https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/issues/1708#issuecomment-320245973> it was suggested that I ask this list about what the exact reasons for the lack of C++ support are, and how/if they break down by C++ feature so as to gauge a possible investment in remedying this situation at least partially. In other words, suppose I changed the build process to include libstdc++, libgcc, and libgcc_eh (and/or other runtime support commonly linked with C++ programs), what features of C++ would work/still fail? And what implementation work would be required to implement the missing features? On a related note, are there intrinsic properties of the secure environment that may conflict with running C++ code, if any? Thank you. - Godmar

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 6.4-2017.08-rc1

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 6.4-2017.08-rc1 Release-Candidate 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-candidate packages from: (sources) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.4-2017.08-rc1/ (binaries) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.4-2017.08-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). 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 6.4-2017.08-rc1 http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.4-2017.08-rc1/ 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 (linaro-local/linaro_binutils-2_27-branch) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin… Linaro GDB 8.0 (gdb-8.0-branch) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2016-10/msg00007.html Linaro toolchain package git branches are hosted at: http://git.linaro.org/toolchain NEWS for GCC 6 (as of Linaro GCC 6.4-2017.08-rc1) ================================================== * 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. * 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.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 7.1-2017.08-rc1

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.08-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/7.1-2017.08-rc1/ (binaries) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.1-2017.08-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). 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 7.1-2017.08-rc1 http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.1-2017.08-rc1/ FSF glibc 2.25 (release/2.25) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2017-02/msg00002.html Newlib 2.5 (newlib-2_5_0 tag) https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2016/msg01191.html GNU Binutils 2.28 (linaro-local/linaro_binutils-2_28-branch) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin… FSF GDB 8.0 (gdb-8.0-branch) https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-announce/2017/msg00003.html Linaro toolchain package git branches are hosted at: http://git.linaro.org/toolchain NEWS for GCC 7 (as of Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.08-rc1) ===========================[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 7.1-2017.08-rc1======================= * The Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.07 snapshot added prefetching configuration improvement for AArch64 targets and laid groundwork to enabling prefetching in more cases. * 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 * Performance related backports from the following snapshots have been included: Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.05, Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.06 and Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.07.

[TCWG-614] Range Thunks Finally managed to get some review on the entirety of the Range Thunks patches. Have reorganised the patches and wrote some documentation to make it easier to review. Responded to all review comments so far. Compiler-rt A long tail of frustration. Managed to get a hello world semi-hosting test case running on the latest QEMU running newlib-nano. This was much more difficult than I expected due to: - The semihosting startup code of newlib does a semi-hosting call for top of memory regardless of whether the heap and stack location have been identified in a linker-script. - The QEMU semihosting response to top of memory is not helpful leaving the stack location in an invalid memory location (latest QEMU requires emulation of a board and not a generic machine) - QEMU doesn't data-abort when writing to a stack location, so my return address is helpfully read back as 0x0 Worked around by providing a large enough memory size to QEMU that the semihosting call for top of memory returns 0, allowing newlib to use the values in the linker script. Will probably need to spend some time to write my own startup code that just uses the linker script for the heap and stack. Building compiler-rt for v6-m and v7-m has been much more difficult than I expected as well. I've managed to find a configuration that works, although it relies on some experimental work in moving compiler-rt to the runtimes directory. Plans for next week: - LLD is top priority - Get testing for compiler-rt working via qemu on v7-m, the recipe that works for build does not support testing. I've got to either extract the cmake magic flags or find a way to plumb through the runes that make the tests work to the recipe I've got. - On holiday Thursday, Friday and the following Monday

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 6 and 7 2017.07 source snapshots

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2017.07 snapshot of Linaro GCC 6 and 7 source packages. o The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug (present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS). 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. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI change. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 For an explanation of the changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html o Linaro GCC 7 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 7.1+svn250046 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. The contents of this snapshot will be part of the 2017.08 stable[2] quarterly release. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.1-2017.07/ Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include: * Updates to GCC 7.1+svn250046 * Backport of [Bugfix] [AArch32] PR target/71778 ICE using non-constant argument to Neon intrinsic that requires constant arguments * Backport of [Bugfix] [AArch64] PR target/71663 aarch64 Vector initialization can be improved slightly * Backport of [AArch32] Enable FP16 vector arithmetic operations * Backport of [AArch32] Fix ARM bootstrap failure due to an odd warning * Backport of [AArch32] Modify idiv costs for Cortex-A53 * Backport of [AArch64] Add combine pattern for storing lane zero of a vector * Backport of [AArch64] Add HF vector modes to lane-to-lane INS pattern * Backport of [AArch64] Add prefetch configuration to aarch64 backend * Backport of [AArch64] Adjust costs so udiv is preferred over sdiv when both are valid * Backport of [AArch64] Allow CMP+SHIFT when comparing with zero * Backport of [AArch64] Allow const0_rtx operand for atomic compare-exchange patterns * Backport of [AArch64] Emit tighter strong atomic compare-exchange loop when comparing against zero * Backport of [AArch64] Enable -fprefetch-loop-arrays at given optimization level * Backport of [AArch64] Fix -fstack-check with really big frames on aarch64 * Backport of [AArch64] Fix subreg bug in scalar copysign * Backport of [AArch64] Peephole for SUBS * Backport of [AArch64] Simplify call, call_value, sibcall, sibcall_value patterns * Backport of [AArch64] Update prefetch tuning parameters for qdf24xx. * Backport of [AArch64] Use SUBS for parallel subtraction and comparison with immediate * Backport of [Misc] Add debug counter for loop array prefetching * Backport of [Misc] Improve debug output of loop data prefetching * Backport of [Cleanup] [AArch32] Complete legend for ARM register allocation in arm.h * Backport of [Cleanup] [AArch32] Fix comment for cmse_nonsecure_call_clear_caller_saved * Backport of [Cleanup] [AArch32] Fix typo in comment in arm_expand_prologue * Backport of [Testsuite] [AArch32] Add MOVT testing for ARMv8-M Baseline * Backport of [Testsuite] Add dg-require-stack-check * Backport of [Testsuite] Fix stack-check-1.c o Linaro GCC 6 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 6.4+svn250045 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC.

Achievements: Some progress on Range Thunks. [TCWG-614] - I have all the enabling patches that allow assignAddresses() to be run multiple times committed. - Need review for the actual range thunks implementation itself. Compiler-rt [TCWG-1156] - Clang (as opposed to llvm) is assuming that all builtins for ARM are mandated to have a soft-float interface. I have a tentative patch but need to test it a bit more first. - Found out a bit more about the structure of how compiler-rt, and why it behaves differently when I use the default target and auto-detection of toolkit as opposed to supplying the target via options. -- There is quite a bit of hidden magic and hacks going on in the default case, some of it I don't think is quite right. For example Compiler-rt seems to conflate architecture with abi. Set myself the task of getting compiler-rt tests running on v6-m with testing on qemu. - v6-m is the only auto-detected default target that I haven't been able to reproduce results on. - A review claimed that tests had been run on qemu, and I'm now trying to work out how to reproduce this with clang and an arm-none-eabi sysroot. -- Not having a lot of luck so far, latest qemu only supports emulation of 2 cortex-m3 dev-boards and I have yet to make a standalone program that works [*] -- I'm not looking forward to plumbing in the options to make the arm-none-eabi testing work. [*] I thought I would try semi-hosting first, but it turns out the default semihosting startup code supplied with arm-none-eabi replaces my heap and stack locations with a semi-hosting call to get top of memory which qemu gives an inappropriate result for a dev-board emulation with non contiguous memory. Would like to see if I can get this working via a quick experiment to rewrite the start-up code, although for the full tests I may fall back to retargeting the IO via an emulated serial port. Plans: - First priority is range thunks for lld - Second priority is getting a v6m test of compiler-rt to check for any latent problems - Submit clang patch when I know it works for all the supported platforms - Look into v7-m support, particularly v7-m + single precision floating point.

== Activity == - Rebased and posted for review all my range-thunks work for LLD as there had been some interest from some individuals on IRC in trying out the patch. -- Seems to work for them -- Hoped that this might provoke upstream into looking and reviewing the patches but no such luck. - Landed the patch that sets _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ so that FreeBSD can link on ARM - Some other small lld patches - Investigations into whether an X86 patch might affect CFI generation for AArch64. Spent some time banging my head against the compiler-rt build system to try and see if I can get a cross-compiled build and test run on Qemu when my compiler-rt target != the default target (i.e. I want to build clang with ARM and AArch64 targets and cross-build and test all the ARM compiler-rt targets from that) - Thwarted by what seems to be inconsistent decisions about auto-detection of options, what is an architecture, target, sub-target and abi. - By passing in all auto-generated options by steam I'm still hitting some problems with some tests that have an external assembly file. Found numerous other small inconsistencies that I'll need to write up. == Plans == - Ping the Range Thunks reviews again. - Compiler-rt Aim to get to the point where I can write a coherent mail to llvm-dev explaining what I think is wrong and what I think needs changing.

[TCWG-614] Range extension thunks - No progress on upstream reviews from maintainers this week I have received some interest on IRC and on at least one of the reviews from other people wanting the feature so I'm hoping that this may speed up the process. - I've committed to rebasing and posting the full patch-set for review so that interested people can take it and test. PR31159 Tracked down why LLD wasn't correctly linking ARM BSD port - lld only provides a dummy absolute value for _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - llvm-mc doesn't transform .word _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - . into R_ARM_BASE_PREL like GNU as does, this relocation doesn't use the value of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ . Instead we get R_ARM_REL32 which needs _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to be set correctly. PR335511 - Patch accepted upstream will commit today Misc: - lld consultancy for Android - Help to fix build error on clang for ARM colleague - Query on lld behaviour with respect to .ARM.extab, I think lld behaviour is within spec, but it may be producing larger files so probably enough to argue the case for a small patch. -No time to spend on compiler-rt this week Plans: - Post all the range-thunk patches for the people interested in it. - Commit patches accepted last week
