[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 6.2-2016.11-rc2

by Ryan Arnold

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11-rc2 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: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.2-2016.11-rc2/ http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.2-2016.11-rc2/ 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/ 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 6.2-2016.11-rc2 Linaro glibc 2.23 (linaro/2.23/master) https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-08/msg00212.html Linaro newlib 2.4-2016.03 (linaro_2.4-branch) Linaro binutils 2.27 (linaro_binutils-2_27-branch) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin… Linaro 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/?a=project_list&s=toolchain%2F&btnS=Search NEWS for Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11-rc2 ==================================== * 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.

TCWG-901 Investigate lld as a system linker - Installed lld as the system linker on my Chromebook and attempted to build and run things to see what breaks - Only one unknown concrete problem found so far, thunks to undefined symbols with PLT entries don't work. This seems to be common in python C extensions that are dlopened from python, and call back to the interpreter. -- I have a downstream fix (TCWG-919), with this fixed the test-suite can run with lld as the linker through the pip install (SQLAlchemy has C extensions). - As thought previously, clang is too big to link without thunks. - Attempted to make a simple add thunks to all branches to see if I could get clang to link. Sadly this won't work as lld only permits one thunk per symbol and this might be out of range of the caller as well. - Some thoughts and experiments on how much of llvm, compiler-rt, clang and libc++ can be linked with lld. I'm currently thinking of altering my lld driver to automatically switch to ld.bfd after a relocation out of range link error. I want to try and get a lld linked clang + compiler-rt +libc++ system running. TCWG-683 lld support for branches to unresolved weak references - Now upstream Also: - A lot of rebasing of downstream patches as some refactoring is going on to make lld more flexible. - Some inconclusive investigation into weak reference behaviour in GNU ld. The ARM and AArch64 ld.bfd linkers will put a dynamic relocation on a got slot generated by for an unresolved weak reference. The x86 linkers do not, they statically resolve the got slot to 0. - Some inconclusive investigations into trying to work out what packages to build to test lld. With the exception of very large programs ld seems to successfully complete the link for all programs. Whether it has done so correctly or not is another matter. -- Currently thinking about whether I can build a BSD make world on a raspberry pi. Plans for next week: - Bring TCWG-901 to a close and work out what to work on next.

[TCWG-828] TLS support for static linking In upstream review but no comments as yet [TCWG-829] IFunc support In upstream review, but will probably need to be rewritten after some upstream refactoring has finished [TCWG-911] eglibc requires a SHT_ARM_ATTRIBUTES section for dlopen to work I have a quick hack to work round this on my Chromebook but a full fix will take some time as lld doesn't understand build attributes right now. [TCWG-901] Investigate lld as a system linker With downstream fixes, using lld as the system linker on a Chromebook I can : - Build llvm, lld and run the regression tests successfully - Use lld as the linker in the lnt tests successfully - Using lld to build the shared objects used by lnt's python C extensions was less successful. I have some interesting debugging to do. -- Plan -- Debug the python extension problems Respond to upstream review comments More use of lld as system linker

== Progress == TCWG-610 ARM Exceptions support Now fully committed upstream. We should now have support for exceptions in Shared Objects and Executables. I've diagnosed problems when static linking after staring at a disassembly for most of a day. With some hacks I've managed to get a static link working using a recent Linaro sysroot. Next task is to resolve these in a more principled way. TCWG-845 Static linking missing linker defined symbols - lld doesn't use a built in linker script so we need to add in symbols that libc.a is expecting the default linker script to generate. - lld is defining __tls_get_addr as it expects all TLS to be relaxed, this isn't the case for ARM or Mips so we need to not define it. TCWG-829 Support for ifunc For some annoying reason that I can't work out why, ARM requires the R_ARM_IRELATIVE relocations to be in the .rel.dyn and not .rel.plt like all the other targets that lld supports including AArch64 TCWG-828 Static linking and TLS When static linking the TLS dynamic relocations in the .got must be resolved statically. - The other architectures that lld supports have the thread control block (tcb) after the data so the initial-exec relocations don't need to add the tcb size to the value put into the .got. - The module index dynamic relocation needs to be 1 and not 0 (LLD assumes general dynamic is relaxed away at static link-time). TCWG-683 Support for branches to undefined weak references LLD doesn't resolve these to the next instruction so they just hang at runtime. Some feedback and review for Linaro LLVM team processes. == Plans == Work out a proper solution for TCWG-828 then start upstreaming. TCWG-683 can be worked around by providing an empty definition of the function, all the others need to be fixed to get a static libc to link.

Patch for ABE on Power Macintosh.

by Jens Bauer

Hi all. I've incorrectly reported a build failure in the support system. <https://support.linaro.org/hc/en-us/requests/1876> -But I'm posting a copy to this list, in order to follow Victor's advice. I've suggested a couple of changes, which makes ABE a little more compatible. Though I can still not build the toolchain on my PowerBook G4, I think that my two modifications might ease building on Intel based Macs and perhaps other architectures in addition. In short: * Use getconf instead of /proc/cpuinfo (you're already using getconf in configure.ac). * By default use twice as many cores for -jN as usual. (If you have 2 cores, use -j4) * Change the architecture from 'Power Macintosh' (which contains an offending space) to 'powerpc'. ...And here's "configure.ac.patch": ---8<-----8<-----8<----- diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 1bf3593..8cc4986 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -49,9 +49,10 @@ AC_SUBST(DBPASSWD) DBHOST=${dbhost} AC_SUBST(DBHOST) -CPUS="`grep -c proces /proc/cpuinfo`" + +let CPUS=2*`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` AC_SUBST(CPUS) -CORES="`grep cores /proc/cpuinfo | tail -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 3`" +#CORES="`grep cores /proc/cpuinfo | tail -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 3`" AC_SUBST(CORES) LIBC="`getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION`" AC_SUBST(LIBC) @@ -59,6 +60,7 @@ KERNEL="`uname -r`" AC_SUBST(KERNEL) BUILDHOST="`${srcdir}/config.guess`" BUILD_ARCH="`uname -m`" +[[ "`uname -s`" == "Darwin" ]] && BUILD_ARCH="`uname -p`" AC_SUBST(BUILD_ARCH) AC_SUBST(BUILDHOST) HOSTNAME="`uname -n`" --->8----->8----->8----- Apart from that, I'd like to report a successful build on Cubieboard2 running Armbian.

Patch for ABE on RHEL

by Scott Telford

Just been trying to build the Linaro toolchain from source on RHEL 6.5. The ABE configure script fails to detect the packaging system on RHEL as it looks like RPM will only be detected if it's running on a Fedora system. This patch will instead detect RPM if the rpm binary is available (and it's not Debian/Ubuntu), like the test for Arch/pacman. diff --git a/configure b/configure index 42f787e..52ddd42 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -3639,7 +3639,6 @@ fi # Figure out which packaging system is in use.

[ACTIVITY] 3 - 7 October 2016

by Peter Smith

== Activity == - AFDS and AFDS review comments LLD: - Have nudged the ARM exceptions story in lld along a bit, I've had one patch accepted, but not the most important one. - Updated the Linaro TCWG jira issues post Connect - Worked on static linking and ifunc support. I have managed to get ifunc working for dynamic linking and static linking working for an old ARM only sysroot. The latest Linaro linux-gnueabi-hf sadly segfaults in __libc_init_first -> __ctype_init, with what looks like stack corruption of the return address. I at least have a good idea of what needs to be done to make static linking work. Other LLVM: Some upstream review comments for ILP32 support and others. == Plans == On holiday all week. Will attempt to continue upstreaming lld work that I already have patches and tests for.

# Progress # * TCWG-333, Fix gdb.base/func-ptrs.exp fails in thumb mode. [3/10] Recall some discussions on it in GNU Cauldron, and dig into GDB source. Unfortunately, GDB decides to track function address rather than function pointer in 2001, which makes harder to fix it. Still thinking about it. * TCWG-556, aarch32 GDB buildbot slave. [2/10] Build GDB and test cases in arm on an aarch64 machine. There are 1000+ test fails, but not triaged yet. Discussed upstream on how to set up buildbot slave with special configuration option and test board file. Ongoing. * TCWG-685, GDB 7.12 release, and patches review. [1/10]. All blocking issues are gone. 7.12 should be released soon. * Clean up arm xml files. Done. [3/10] * Misc, meetings. [1/10] # Plan # * TCWG-333, TCWG-556. * As 7.12 goes out, ping my pending patches on TCWG-518, and TCWG-547 -- Yao Qi

Trying to use it in our llvm-projs helper script * Investigate buildbot failure on clang-native-arm-lnt [TCWG-832] - Found and reverted the offending patch - Ran a pre-commit test on the second version of the patch * [Lab] Xenial Stage1 test failure: std::length_error [TCWG-821] - Couldn't use gdb on this, so I had to manually find the call that throws the exception; the code seems to be doing the right thing, and in addition selfhosting works, so we're suspecting either some undefined behaviour or a bug in the g++ toolchain on the bot - Neither ubsan nor clang-tidy had much to complain about the code, so this will require more investigation * Misc - Upstream code reviews, meetings etc == Plan == * [Lab] Xenial Stage1 test failure: std::length_error [TCWG-821] * [ARM] Switch from itineraries to schedule models [TCWG-824]

== Activity == Exceptions. Another attempt at ARM exceptions support. I did get some more fine grained comments back which have been addressed, but no approval to commit yet. Some follow up over whether ld -r support for merging output sections is necessary, answer seems to be yes as kernel modules depend on it. I've volunteered to post a simpler patch without ld -r support as this is a very niche use case. Not had any feedback yet so will just post it next week. TLS Fixed TLS support in lld so that it does not attempt to follow lld's generic relaxation model, which can't be implemented in ARM. Still some work to do for static linking. == Next Week == Out of office at Linaro Connect in Las Vegas == Planned Absences == Holiday 10th to 14th October

AArch64: Disabling conditional execution

by Fernando Endo

Hello, I'm using Linaro GCC 4.9-2015.01-3 for AArch64, and trying to disable the generation of guarded instructions. More specifically, I'd like not to see instructions such as 'cset', 'csinc', 'ccmp', 'fccmp', etc. So far, it seemed that the flag '-fno-if-conversion2' could do the job, but I still see those instructions in my disassembled program functions (I guess that it may not be possible to remove them from standard libs). My command line: aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -static -march=armv8-a -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-if-conversion2 I also tried '-fno-if-conversion' and both '-fno-if-conversion -fno-if-conversion2' without success.

* Off on Mon and Tue. [4/20] # Progress # * Range stepping in ARM. TCWG-518 [5/20] The thread starvation is fixed by randomly selecting pending events among threads. Being regression tested. * GDB 7.12 release. TCWG-685. [4/20] Due to the recent kernel change, single step in GDBserver stops working, because new kernel becomes sensitive on writing RES0 bits in CPSR. Fixed in GDB side. * GNU Cauldron. [7/20] Discussed with GDB people on the projects we are working on. Got some agreement on the general direction of some projects. Discussed with the possible GDB changes to handle variable length registers, such as SVE. Agreed to move ptrace-test from sourceware to kernel tree. Sync on 7.12 release. Discussed on AArch64 TLS var debug information, looks it is less complex than expected. # Plan # * Off on Mon and Tue. * TCWG-685, TCWG-518 * Prepare for the US travel. -- Yao Qi

Heads-up: big.LITTLE and cache flushing

by Riku Voipio

Hi, As painfully found out by mono team, if big/little cores have different cache line sizes, __clear_cache doesn't work as expected. This affects any home-grown cache flushing mechanism as well. http://www.mono-project.com/news/2016/09/12/arm64-icache/ protip, if you suspect your application issues might related to big.LITTLE, use taskset(1) or hwloc-bind(1) to tie the process to either big or little cluster (or just a single core).

Question on "Using deprecated CP15 barrier instruction".

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, For reference, the following questions refer to a Linux 3.10 aarch64 kernel (ARMv8, ARMv8-A) compiled with Linaro 5.3-2016.02 (5.3-2016.02 arm64 CROSS_COMPILE and 5.3-2016.02 armhf CROSS32CC cross compiled from x86_64). This Linux kernel compile requires the full 64-bit tool chain plus the 32-bit gcc. There is a Linux kernel file "arch/arm64/kernel/deprecated.c". Within that file is a block of code which is apparently designed to detect some sort of older obsolete 32-bit code. Specifically, the warning message is "Using deprecated CP15 barrier instruction". I wouldn't think that this kernel, when compiled with such a recent compiler, would ever introduce CP15 barrier code (from what I see barrier code was deprecated in ARMv7 and used to deal with obsolete ARMv6 code). Is there any chance the 32-bit 5.3 gcc would still generate CP15 barrier code? Although this kernel and "most" modules are built with Linaro 5.3 I'd like to be able to narrow the cause down to existing binary modules not compiled with the 5.3 Linaro. If I can guarantee 5.3 32-bit gcc does not produce the CP15 barrier instruction then I'll know it is in pre-built binary modules. Can anyone tell me if C code compiled from Linaro version 5.3 32-bit gcc code would ever contain CP15 instructions? Thanks!

RE: Question on "Using deprecated CP15 barrier instruction".

by stimits＠comcast.net

What I need to confirm is if the Linaro 5.3 would generate such code from a normal block of C without any kind of asm in it? Detecting the code is part of the kernel...I need to figure out where it was generated. Is Linaro 5.3 going to generate such code without explicitly writing it in? ----- Original Message -----From: Andrew Pinski <Andrew.Pinski(a)cavium.com>To: stimits(a)comcast.net, Linaro Toolchain Mailman List <linaro-toolchain(a)lists.linaro.org>Sent: Mon, 05 Sep 2016 17:21:24 -0000 (UTC)Subject: RE: Question on "Using deprecated CP15 barrier instruction". Simple answer is yes. There are a lot of assembly out there and someone (seen it in the past) could have used this barrier method in their code and not really thought it was going to change in the future.

gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07...Big Endian and Little Endian aarch64 Options

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, I was able to get linaro-6.1-2016.07 compiled for both aarch64 and armhf. I also have some prebuilt 5.2 and 5.3 binaries, plus a few other 4.8 and 4.9 compilers from quite some time back. I've used these for building a Linux 3.10 kernel, and the newer linaro-6.1 fails during kernel compile. The issue seems to be the assembler does not recognize option "-EL" (all of the ARM systems I'm building for are little endian, I've not seen a big endian system). I am wondering if support for options "-EB" and "-EL" are part of the configure options? There is the generic "help" listing the "--enable-FEATURE=ARG", but I do not see a comprehensive list of features this might deal with. I'm hoping that big/little endian for armhf and aarch64 can be enabled with this. Otherwise I'm hoping to find more information on what I might need to do or change for compatibility with the "-EL" option. For reference, I have similar templates for 32-bit and 64-bit configuration (different triplet and build root). Here's one: export SRC='/home/build/linaro/gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07'export BUILD='/home/build/linaro/32bit'export TRIPLET=arm-linux-gnueabihfexport CLONE=/usr/local/sysroot/${TRIPLET}export VENDOR_ID=gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07export LINUX_ARCH=armhf cd $BUILD${SRC}/configure --prefix=/usr/local/${TRIPLET}/${VENDOR_ID} --target=${TRIPLET} \ --with-build-sysroot=${CLONE} \ --enable-languages=c \ --with-sysroot=/ Thanks!

gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07 Sysroot/Host Requirements Question

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, In a previous thread some sysroot issues were resolved, and I am able to build cross-compilers under gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07 for languages c, c++, and objc. My sysroot consisted of a loopback mounted dd copy of an Ubuntu 14.04 file system for aarch64. That particular file system runs on a quad core Cortex-A57, and is fully capable of compiling many different types of software (the file system is set up for development). The successful configuration was like this (configuration and compile was from an independent directory not in the source tree): export SRC='/home/build/linaro/gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07'export TRIPLET=aarch64-linux-gnuexport CLONE=/usr/local/sysroot/${TRIPLET}export VENDOR_ID=gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07export LINUX_ARCH=arm64 ${SRC}/configure --prefix=/usr/local/${TRIPLET}/${VENDOR_ID} --target=${TRIPLET} \ --with-build-sysroot=${CLONE} \ --enable-languages=c,c++,objc \ --with-sysroot=/ Now I also need armhf (I must support both 32-bit and 64-bit), so I'm trying to figure out host and sysroot differences (I have been unable to get armhf to compile). The configuration is basically this variation of the above, plus some sysroot additional support: export SRC='/home/build/linaro/gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07'export TRIPLET=arm-linux-gnueabihfexport CLONE=/usr/local/sysroot/${TRIPLET}export VENDOR_ID=gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07export LINUX_ARCH=armhf ${SRC}/configure --prefix=/usr/local/${TRIPLET}/${VENDOR_ID} --target=${TRIPLET} \ --with-build-sysroot=${CLONE} \ --enable-languages=c \ --with-sysroot=/ Note that for testing purposes I tried to compile only languages of c, c++, and objc, each one at a time instead of together. Errors do not differ in any way for picking of any of those three languages. I also have a complete Ubuntu 14.04 file system for armhf which is fully equipped for building of each of those languages, and is perhaps in some ways more complete as a development environment than the previously successful aarch64 file system (the sysroot runs on a quad core Cortex-A15). I tried this purely armhf file system as the sysroot to rule out incorrect multiarch support, and the error did not change. I am guessing the issue is not the sysroot, but I wanted to verify this since there may be other requirements for armhf instead of aarch64. I am at a loss though to explain why the host would be at issue since it appears all prerequisites were met and I had success with aarch64. The details of the error seem to always occur in libcc1 build. I see this in the libcc1/config.log as the failure regardless of sysroot or supported language, and only while building for armhf: configure:14569: checking for -rdynamicconfigure:14579: result: yesconfigure:14589: checking for library containing dlopenconfigure:14620: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c >&5/tmp/ccyhVkpp.o: In function `main':/home/build/linaro/objdir/libcc1/conftest.c:38: undefined reference to `dlopen'collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusconfigure:14620: $? = 1configure: failed program was:| /* confdefs.h */| #define PACKAGE_NAME "libcc1"| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "libcc1"| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "version-unused"| #define PACKAGE_STRING "libcc1 version-unused"| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""| #define PACKAGE_URL ""| #define STDC_HEADERS 1| #define HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 1| #define HAVE_SYS_STAT_H 1| #define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1| #define HAVE_STRING_H 1| #define HAVE_MEMORY_H 1| #define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1| #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1| #define HAVE_STDINT_H 1| #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1| #define __EXTENSIONS__ 1| #define _ALL_SOURCE 1| #define _GNU_SOURCE 1| #define _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS 1| #define _TANDEM_SOURCE 1| #define HAVE_DLFCN_H 1| #define LT_OBJDIR ".libs/"| #define HAVE_DECL_BASENAME 1| /* end confdefs.h. */ Are there different host requirements when building armhf versus aarch64 which might explain why dlopen is not found? FYI, both development and other support for dlopen exists already on the system, so the failure to find dlopen is not for lack of host support (related dlopen files all seem to be present on all tested sysroots as well, both as armhf and aarch64). Is this a sysroot issue, a host issue, or a configure issue? Thanks!

stdc-predef.h failed during gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07 compile

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, I've been trying to build the c and c++ cross-compiler for triplet aarch64-linux-gnu (--target=aarch64-linux-gnu --enable-languages=c,c++) on snapshot for 6.1-2016.07, and cannot get past this: cc1: error: no include path in which to search for stdc-predef.h From what I can tell this may already be a known bug inherited from back in the days of Linaro 4.8. I tried various ways around this, such as trying to create an empty stdc-predef.h in various locations, but always ended up either not fixing the issue or breaking something else even sooner. Is there a simple way around this on the configure command line? If not, is there some recommended edit for this? Thanks!

Impact of binutils .align assembler directive parsing bug

by Dan Handley

Hi I have a question about the impact of a binutils bug to do with parsing the .align assembler directive, which may appear soon in a Linaro GCC release. The bug was first discovered by Jérôme Forissier when building ARM Trusted Firmware with a non-Linaro toolchain: https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-toolchain/2016-June/005768.html As Jim Wilson helpfully noted later in that thread: > This patch isn't present in the binutils-2.25 that tcwg is using. The patch is present in binutils-2.26. The bug is now fixed in binutils mainline: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=7ea12e5… But this was too late to be in the binutils-2_27 tag (3rd August) I'm concerned that this bug may appear in the upcoming Linaro GCC 6 stable release, which may have a significant lifetime. Can anyone comment on the binutils version to be used in the Linaro GCC 6 release? If a binutils version containing the bug is used, is it possible for this to be patched with the fix? I need to know whether we need to provide an interim solution in ARM Trusted Firmware. Regards Dan.

A stable version of gcc-linaro-xxx-arm-linux-gnueabi ...

by darklight wu

Hello linaro experts! I'm using the stable version(gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11) recommended on https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain. I downloaded the binary fromhttps://releases.linaro.org/14.11/components/toolchain/binaries/arm-lin…. But I found there is no libstdc++.so.6. Is that library missing in that version? What I need is just a tested stable version for an industry iot project and the stability is the most important thing. And due to app back-compatibility, I can not use hardware-float feature. So any recommendation for a tested stable version of _gcc-linaro-xxx-arm-linux-gnueabi_ toolchain? Thanks! dlw

vreinterpretq_*_p128 for converting from polynomials?

by Jeffrey Walton

Hi Everyone, I'm having trouble finding vreinterpretq_u64_p128 (and friends) to help convert a polynomial. I can't find it in arm_neon.h or arm_acle.h: $ grep p128 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_acle.h $ grep p128 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_neon.h $ grep p64 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_acle.h $ grep p64 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_neon.h vmull_p64 (poly64_t a, poly64_t b) vmull_high_p64 (poly64x2_t a, poly64x2_t b) $ An RPI-3 with ARMv8/Aarch32 and GCC 4.9.2 has it in arm_neon.h: $ cat /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.9.2/include/arm_neon.h | grep -A 4 vreinterpretq_u64_p128 vreinterpretq_u64_p128 (poly128_t __a) { return (uint64x2_t)__builtin_neon_vreinterpretv2diti ((__builtin_neon_ti) __a); } Is there another file that should be included for it? Or is there something else I should be doing when I want to convert from a polynomial to a type like uint64x2_t? Thanks in advance. Jeff

Compile error when building an Aarch32 program on Aarch64?

by Jeffrey Walton

Hi Everyone, I have a HiKey running Linaro. I'm trying to build out a test case which tests Aarch32 on Aarch64. When I attempt to build an Aarch32 binary I experience the compile error below. The GCC folks helped me with the Aarch32 CFLAGS, so I believe they are correct. $ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard test.cc -o test.exe gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’ Trying an -m32: $ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard -m32 test.cc -o test.exe gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-m32’ And without the -mtune: $ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard test.cc -o test.exe gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’ I'm obviously suffering a disconnect. I may have more problems after the build when attempting to run the program, but I'll cross that bridge when I encounter it. How does one build an Aarch32 program on Aarch64? Thanks in advance.
