== This week == * TCWG-619 (2/10) - Disabling seccomp-bpf, works with LTO build for chromium for multiple partitions (-flto-partitions={balanced, 1to1}) - disabling fPIC does not prevent the error - "branch out of range" for single or no partition (--param lto-partitions=1 / -flto-partitions=none ) - The docs say there is option to disable PLT (-fno-plt), https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#Code-Gen-Options but using it results in unrecognized command line option. * PR49551 (2/10) - Found out why r221297 prevents the ICE: merge_decl() calls make_decl_rtl() upon condtion DECL_RTL_SET_P (olddecl), which causes the ICE. Before r221297, in merge_decls() DECL_RTL_SET_P (olddecl) was true which resulted in call to make_decl_rtl() causing ICE. After r221297, DECL_RTL_SET_P (olddecl) is 0, which doesn't result in call to make_decl_rtl() so no ICE is produced. However, DECL_COMMON is still incorrectly set in merge_decls() because it copies newdecl into olddecl. - Will post upstream for review after final testing on x86 and ARM. * Misc (6/10) - Exams

Hi, I tried on abe 'stable' branch and with below configuration build was successful. ../abe/configure --with-fileserver=148.251.136.42 --with-remote-snapshots= http://148.251.136.42/snapshots-ref ../abe/abe.sh --target aarch64-linux-gnu --build all (Additionally I had to increase the wget_timeout=100) But on master branch, with below commands (as suggested in above mail) following error were observed. ../abe/configure --with-fileserver=148.251.136.42 --with-remote-snapshots=/snapshots-ref ../abe/abe.sh --target aarch64-linux-gnu --build all ERROR (#144): fetch_http (md5sums doesn't exist and you disabled updating.) Looks like following commit is causing problem on the abe master branch.

Correct linux kerenl for eglibc in Linaro tool chain

by Ganesan, Aravind

Hi Guys, I have two questions: (1) I have download gcc-4.9 tool chain from http://releases.linaro.org/14.08/components/toolchain/binaries. The kernel for the release (http://releases.linaro.org/14.08/components/kernel/linux-linaro) is 3.16. So can we assume the kernel headers found in the tool chain installation from the link above belongs to linux version 3.16? (2) Also, I ubuntu wiki indicates that starting with Ubuntu 12.04 they are using linaro gcc packages for arm64 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain). Is there an easy way to find what linaro-release (for tool chain) will be compatible with Ubuntu 14.10 aarch64 image? Thanks, Aravind -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.

writing a new Machine Description file (e.g cortex-a57.md) in gcc

by Virendra Kumar Pathak

Hi Linaro Toolchain Group, I am new to gcc development. I am trying to write a new md file describing pipeline information for a processor. Please suggest some good reference document for understanding machine description file. Few questions from cortex-a53.md file: For first integer pipeline following is defined - (define_cpu_unit "cortex_a53_slot0" "cortex_a53") Is name cortex_a53_slot0 is a keyword or it is any general string? Is there any convention in choosing names for cpu units? If ‘cortex_a53_slot0’ a general string, how assembler knows it is first integer pipeline? How these *.md files are used? When they are compiled and how they are used? How to verify an md file for a processor is written correctly or not? How to test it? What other design consideration must be kept in mind while writing a new md file? Thanks. with regards, Virendra Kumar Pathak

PR65837 - patch to lto-wrapper rejected. - Another hack to pass driver's argv to lto-wrapper via another environment variable COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS_DRIVER rejected by Richard. - Ramana and Richard pointed out the proper fix would be to handle target attributes in ARM backend. - I could try extending Christian Bruel's target attribute patches for fpu options after they're checked in which would then fix the PR. chromium LTO build - Many instances of same error message during LINK chrome: chrome.ltrans0.s:18399164: Error: Thumb2 branch out of range chrome.ltrans0.s:9671243: Error: branch out of range works fine for non-lto.

Assume test.c contains a neon intrinsic: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -flto -c test.c -mfpu=neon arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -flto test.o results in target specific builtin not available, because both -mfpu=neon and -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 is passed and -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 overrides earlier -mfpu=neon Passing -mfpu=neon at link time correctly overrides -mfpu=vfpv3-d16. * PR6778 - ICE in varpool_node::get_constructor. - Looks like PR65776 appears due to same issue as well. - It appears error_mark_node gets streamed that causes ICE. - Triage went wrong, thought it was an error in typeck2.c:check_narrowing(). * PR49551 - The C front-end c/c-decl.c:merge_decls still incorrectly marks the variable as 'common' for the test-case: int x = 5; int x; However it's not reproducible anymore on trunk (maybe latent?) - I have an untested patch that resolves the issue in merge_decls(). * Issues - abe built native gcc on x8_64-unknown-linux-gnu fails to build code when passed -m32 option (bug 1508). * Misc - exams on 20th and 24th april. * Next week - Continue working on PR65837, PR65778 - Test patch for PR49551

Build u-boot using Linaro toolchain

by Joel (Xi Zhou) Zhou

Hi all, I have built our customized u-boot (u-boot-2012.10-rc3), with two Linaro toolchain, but have no luck with the latest toolchain. The u-boot built with gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.9-2014.09_linux can boot on the development board. This toolchain was pre-built toolchain from Linaro, built with crosstool-NG. The version is gcc version 4.9.2 20140904 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.9-2014.09 - Linaro GCC 4.9-2014.09) With the same u-boot source, the binary built with the Linaro gcc 4.9 2015.04 hang on the same board. The 2nd toolchain was compiled locally on RHEL6, built with ABE tool. We build it locally to avoid "GLIBC_2.14 not found" issue on the pre-built toolchain. The version is gcc version 4.9.3 20150413 (prerelease) (Linaro GCC 2015.04) Does anyone have an idea what happen? Is it a regression bug in gcc4.9?

toolchain folders and content

by Robert Schwarz

Hi, I am using the linaro tolchain to create a root-filesystem for an embedded Linux system. I would like to copy the essential include files and libraries(libc) from the toolchain to the rootFS of the embedded system. Is there any explanation of the folder structure of the toolchain so I know which folder to copy? How do I know which files to copy and where those files are located in the toolchain? Thanks, Robert

Linaro Toolchain Product Release Process Changes (Effective 2015.04)

by Ryan Arnold

Hello, In an effort to provide a longer quality control window for quarterly releases the Linaro Toolchain Working Group will be making some changes to the release process starting with the forthcoming 2015.04 products. Little will change for the consumers of TCWG products. The current monthly source release of the 'stable' Linaro GCC source archives posted to releases.linaro.org will move to snapshots.linaro.org and will be designated 'monthly snapshots'. The exact location will be announced when the 2015.04 Toolchain component source archive release notes are posted to this mailing list. These monthly snapshots will continue to have branch merges, performance fixes, security fixes, and correctness fixes applied on a monthly basis. They will also continue to have validation across a variety of common ARM targets performed (per backport) against them. TCWG will introduce the concept of a 'release candidate source archive' and 'release candidate binary toolchain archive' six weeks before the projected release date of the Quarterly Binary Toolchain Release. For example, the 2015.05 Quarterly Binary Toolchain and Quarterly Source Archive will be based upon the 2015.04 source archive snapshot. Release candidate source and binary archives will be posted to snapshots.linaro.org. This release candidate will receive the scrutiny of internal and external stakeholders for six weeks and give an opportunity to evaluate the forth-coming Quarterly Binary Toolchain Archive and Source Archive Release. Problems found with the release candidates will result in the availability of incremental release candidate archives. The official quarterly release will be posted to releases.linaro.org. Please direct any questions or concerns to this mailing list or to me directly. -- Ryan S. Arnold Linaro Toolchain Working Group - Engineering Manager www.linaro.org

== This Week == TCWG-619: * Compiled chromium on ARM without LTO with following hack to resolve error: undefined reference to 'clock_gettime', version 'GLIBC_2.17' - chromium uses prebuilt sysroot in src/chrome/installer/linux/debian_wheezy_arm-sysroot and it has libc-2.13.so, libc.so.6 is symbolic link to libc-2.13.so in the sysroot. However it appears minimum libc-2.17 is required (version 'GLIBC_2.17'). I replaced libc-2.13.so by abe-built libc-2.20-2014.11-1-git.so, and symlinked libc.so.6 to libc-2.20-2014.11-1-git.so and that worked (for non LTO build). Curiously I didn't require to do this for building chromium with linaro prebuilt toolchain. * Found a way to disable LTO for building lib/libblink_web.so by manually removing -flto from web_blink.ninja and Webkit/source/core/*.ninja, which worked. * Chromium non LTO build issues on ARM: a) Fails with gcc-5 due to error in chromium: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=340312 To compile chromium, I applied a patch to cp/typeck2.c to shut narrowing conversion errors (ideally the fix should be to chromium). b) ld.bfd (linaro branch) fails with undefined references to many functions in libattr1: http://pastebin.com/ju4SCDSE Not sure if this is ld.bfd bug, or me building it wrongly. Haven't tested yet with trunk ld.bfd. Works fine with gold. * Target independent Chromium LTO issues with trunk a) Top-level asm and LTO (PR57703) - This appears to be not supported. * Chromium LTO issues on ARM with trunk: a) ICE in lib/libblink_web.so (PR65576). b) Target specific builtin not available: http://pastebin.com/2ANsEyMn Seems related to: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=408997 c) ICE during LINK chrome: http://pastebin.com/DpjJ5M7g d) GNU ld appears to segfault compiling in LTO mode. * Chromium LTO issues with linaro-4.9 branch: a) ICE elf section out of range (PR57208) - fixed in trunk b) gold - Ran out of file descriptors: fixed in trunk. Seems the following patch which is in trunk but not in linaro branch fixes it: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blobdiff;f=gold/… I tried to backport it but got errors, possibly depends on other commits. * v8 ARM LTO issues: - Assembly error - offset out of range (PR65778). Possibly invalid bug. == Next Week == - Create reduced test case for PR65576 - Figure out how to disable LTO for building lib/libblink_web.so in .gyp files - PR49551 - Exams on 20th and 24th April.

Issue building busybox using aarch64-linux-gnu 2014.11

by Kevin Petit

Hi, I (and several other people) am (are) having trouble to build busybox with the latest aarch64-linux-gnu 2014.11 binaries we got from linaro.org. It seems none of the built-in library search paths (gcc -print-search-dirs) allow to find crt[1i].o. They seem to be expected in a multiarch location but aren't (libc/usr/lib64). We're working around this with a symlink. Is this a bug? Have you seen similar issues? Here's a failing command-line and the associated error message: /path/to/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wunused -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-function -Wunused-value -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wno-format-security -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -fno-builtin-strlen -finline-limit=0 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-guess-branch-probability -funsigned-char -static-libgcc -falign-functions=1 -falign-jumps=1 -falign-labels=1 -falign-loops=1 -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Os -static -o busybox_unstripped -Wl,--start-group applets/built-in.o archival/lib.a archival/libarchive/lib.a console-tools/lib.a coreutils/lib.a coreutils/libcoreutils/lib.a debianutils/lib.a e2fsprogs/lib.a editors/lib.a findutils/lib.a init/lib.a libbb/lib.a libpwdgrp/lib.a loginutils/lib.a mailutils/lib.a miscutils/lib.a modutils/lib.a networking/lib.a networking/libiproute/lib.a networking/udhcp/lib.a printutils/lib.a procps/lib.a runit/lib.a selinux/lib.a shell/lib.a sysklogd/lib.a util-linux/lib.a util-linux/volume_id/lib.a archival/built-in.o archival/libarchive/built-in.o console-tools/built-in.o coreutils/built-in.o coreutils/libcoreutils/built-in.o debianutils/built-in.o e2fsprogs/built-in.o editors/built-in.o findutils/built-in.o init/built-in.o libbb/built-in.o libpwdgrp/built-in.o loginutils/built-in.o mailutils/built-in.o miscutils/built-in.o modutils/built-in.o networking/built-in.o networking/libiproute/built-in.o networking/udhcp/built-in.o printutils/built-in.o procps/built-in.o runit/built-in.o selinux/built-in.o shell/built-in.o sysklogd/built-in.o util-linux/built-in.o util-linux/volume_id/built-in.o -Wl,--end-group -Wl,--start-group -lm -Wl,--end-group ========== /work/integration/envs/latest/tools/gcc/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9.3/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory /work/integration/envs/latest/tools/gcc/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9.3/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [busybox_unstripped] Error 1 Thank you!

4 day work week (03-Apr good Friday) (2/10) * ASAN 32bit allocator failures on amd-01 (4/10) Completed analyzing failures. Sent a patch to Address sanitizes community for review. Applied patch to latest LLVM trunk and ran tests. found one failure. But it was due to the test case assuming that return value from "getpwnam_r" all is always zero. Fixed the test case by removing the assert and all LLVM tests passes. [ Renato tested the patch on APM (39 bit VA) ]. * Again there is some discussion in GCC bugzilla on deciding which allocators to use for Aarch64 42 bit VA*. I have a patches for both allocators and posted it to ASAN group 64 bit allocators wont work on juno. So for ASAN there is a need to have some kind of dynamic address space detection mechanism. Set the allocators type and required mappings at runtime for Aarch64. But that needs to be decided by ASAN group whether to do that or use my 32 bit allocator patch . I am planning to stop it here and wait as suggested by renato. * Get TSAN building for Aarch64 on 42-bit VMA systems. (2/10) (-pie mode only) Applied patch that I had on GCC tree on LLVM trunk. Build failed need to set kVdsoBeg and kMadviseRangeBeg. I set some default value to allow TSAN build to complete. right now clang does not recognize aarch64 target for aarch64 although I enabled it under TSAN. looking at the issue. * Emails, meetings. (2/10) * Linaro 1-1 with christophe, Ryan, status meet * AMD meetings/event, 1-1 with AMD manager, status meeting. * GCC mailing list. == Plan == * Get TSAN building for Aarch64 on 42-bit VMA systems. (-pie mode only) * Document TSAN/ASAN work and patch details in wiki. == Issues == * ASAN patch cannot be up streamed unless we decide on allocator to use.

-O2 faster than -O3

by Edward Nevill

Hi, I did some tests on the following function --- CUT HERE --- int fibo(int n) { if (n < 2) return 1; return (fibo(n-2) + fibo(n-1)); } --- CUT HERE --- and I discovered that it is faster -O2 than -O3. This is with gcc 4.9.2. Looking at the disassembly I see it is using FP registers to hold integer values. The following is a small extract. .L3: fmov w0, s8 sub w25, w25, #1 cmn w25, #1 add w0, w0, w27 fmov s8, w0 bne .L19 add w0, w0, 1 b .L2 Recompiling with -mgeneral-regs-only generates a huge improvement. The following are the times I get on various partner HW. I have normalised the -O2 times to 1 second so that I do not disclose actual partner performance data: Partner 1: -O2 = 1sec, -O3 = 1.13sec, -O3 -mgeneral-regs-only = 0.72sec Partner 2: -O2 = 1sec, -O3 = 0.68sec, -O3 -mgeneral-regs-only = 0.60sec Partner 3: -O2 = 1sec, -O3 = 0.73sec, -O3 -mgeneral-regs-only = 0.68sec Partner 4: -O2 = 1sec, -O3 = 0.83sec, -O3 -mgeneral-regs-only = 0.84sec So, in general, -O3 does actually do better than -O2, but in all cases performance is better if I stop it using FP registers for int values. I have put a tarball of the test program along with 3 binaries and 3 disassemblies here:- http://people.linaro.org/~edward.nevill/fibo.tar All the best, Ed.

* ASAN/TSAN run on 42 bit VA Aarch64 (TCWG-634) (6/10) Sent a patch that enables ASAN tests with 64 bit allocator on amd-01 (AMD Seattle). All ASAN test passes in LLVM. But on juno platform 39 bit VA does not have enough memory to map hence we need to stay on 32 bit allocator. Discussed with ASAN community and it is been decided to use 32 bit allocator as default. They are not ok with having a mechanism to detect VA and swutch allocators based on that. Started looking at failures on amd-01 (AMD steatle) with 32 bit alloctor. None of the ASAN tests ran when I switched to 32 bit allocator on amd-01. Reason there is a spin mutex lock which is waiting for the memory allocation to complete, but assertion failure makes it to wait infinitely. After fixing map range the assertion failure is gone but I keep getting some failures with 32 bit allocator "on". Bug869: Continued to look at ABS_EXPR cases (2/10). * Emails, meetings. (2/10) * Linaro 1-1 with christophe, Ryan, status meet * AMD meetings/event, 1-1 with AMD manager, status meeting. * GCC mailing list. == Plan == *Continue to fix TSAN/ASAN 32bit allocator failures on amd-01 . * Bug869

== Progress == * type promotion pass (zero/sign extension elimination) - TCWG-547 (6/10) - Fixed LTO testcase failure - Native testing on arm chromebook found three more failures - Fixed all of them - Setup spec2006 on chromebook - spec2006 with -O3 -mfpu=neon -march=armv7-a -fno-common shows some (12 of them) regressions even though there are some gains (17 of them). - GEOMEAN is the same. - 437.leslie3d regresses 18% for -O3 but improves 16% if I use -O2 in both the original and with the patch - some optimizations like vectorization could be impacted (?) - restarted the full benchmarking at -O2 * TCWG-620 (1/10) - read more documents and looked at code samples * TCWG-486 (2/10) - Latest trunk didn’t work with the patch I had - Original patch Zhenqiang also behaves similar. Looking into it. * Misc (1/10) - gcc-patchs and gcc-bugs list == Plan == * TCWG-620 and TCWG-547
