---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2015.01
engineering release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package.
Linaro GCC 4.9 2015.01 is the tenth Linaro GCC source package release in the
4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.3-pre+svn219502 and includes performance
improvements and bug fixes.
With the imminent release of ARMv8 hardware and the recent release of the
GCC 4.9 compiler the Linaro TCWG will be focusing on stabilization and

Hi,
I have being trying to persuade gcc to generate the ldp instruction without success. I have tried many combinations, below is an example.
--- cut here ---
#define LDP(x,y,p) { \
struct vec { long x, y; } data; \
data = *(struct vec *)p; p += 2; \
x = data.x; y = data.y; \
}
long testp(long *p) {
long x, y;
LDP(x, y, p);
return x+y;
}

- tried with -save-temps but the intermediates are gone. Not sure if
infrastructure cleans it
- setting up spec2k in nx aarch64 chroot for easy comparison of
intermediate values (asm and tree dumps)
- also plan to try benchmarking with widening pass enabled only for
unsigned type where BIT_AND_EXPR (zero_extend) is optimized well as
compared to new middle-end ZEXT_EXPR (which is not handled well yet) to
see if the difference is there.

Learnt that LLVM sanitizers now support both -pie and non -pie mode.
Discussed the same issue with sanitizer's group. They asked me to
do -pie for aarch64 as first version. Pushed GCC changes to
linaro git.

Go away where ? ABE just uses whatever triplet you give it. I commonly use just arm-linux-gnueabi for example. If you don't specify 'none', it shouldn't appear anywhere. If it does, let me know and I'll fix it.

Hi,
I recently built with ABE for the first time. It's pretty slick.
Is there a way to make the vendor string (the "none" in
"arm-none-linux-gnueabihf-*") go away? It breaks my scripts without appearing
to add value.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
I am trying to port the Boost.Context library (from www.boost.org) to aarch64 gcc and have come across a gnarly problem.
Boost.Context essentially does co-routine style context switching. It has a structure f_context which it uses to save and restore contexts. The structure f_context contains both integer (x0..xN) and floating point VFP (d8..d15) context.
The function jump_context switches contexts
typedef struct f_context *f_context_t
extern void jump_context(fcontext_t *old, f_context_t new, bool save_fp);
So this jumps to a new context returning the old context in *old. If save_fp is set the floating point context must be saved because the application uses floating point. Otherwise the save and restore of the floating point context may be ignored.
So, essentially, to save the old context it does
jump_fcontext:
# prepare stack for GP + FPU
sub sp, sp, #0xb0
# test if fpu env should be preserved
cmp w3, #0
b.eq 1f
# save d8 - d15
stp d8, d9, [sp, #0x00]
stp d10, d11, [sp, #0x10]
stp d12, d13, [sp, #0x20]
stp d14, d15, [sp, #0x30]
1:
# save x19-x30
stp x19, x20, [sp, #0x40]
stp x21, x22, [sp, #0x50]
stp x23, x24, [sp, #0x60]
stp x25, x26, [sp, #0x70]
stp x27, x28, [sp, #0x80]
stp x29, x30, [sp, #0x90]
However, there is a problem with this because gcc may store integer value in floating point registers around a function call.
So, I have no way of knowing whether it is actually necessary to save/restore floating point context.
Even worse applications using Boost.Context may be completely borken if they assume it is safe to call jump_context with save_fp == 0.
Any suggestions?
Ed.

Hi,
We've noticed that in the 14.11 toolchain binary release that the .asc files
contain md5sums instead of PGP signatures. Would it be possible to either
switch these files to contain signatures or change the filename to indicate
that they contain md5sums?
I also noticed that an md5sum is missing:
http://releases.linaro.org/14.11/components/toolchain/binaries/armeb-linux-…
Finally, there appears to be some inconsistent usage of tuples in the download
directories. Would it be possible to use the same tuple for a particular
toolchain everywhere that tuple is used? For example, for the arm-none-eabi
toolchain, the directory is "arm-none-eabi", but the compiler tarball has only
"arm-eabi".
Thanks,
Chris

I cocked up the LLVM 3.6 ARM release last December when I
inadvertently ignored a bug report about clang not self-hosting on
NEON machines. To make matters worse, I was the one that decided to
move *all* our buildbots to non-NEON machines, expecting that the
test-suite on a Chromebook would catch all NEON problems.
There are limits to human intelligence, not human stupidity.

Hello,
I have a question about the status of overo support in qemu-linaro vs upstream qemu; from a quick look on the Git commits for qemu-linaro, most things seemed to have been ported back upstream into qemu as of v2.0.0, although there does appear to be some recent new commits. However, I'm looking for overo board support, and although I see that OMAP3 chip support has been merged upstream, there aren't any board configuration files for overo. What would be the easiest way to get working qemu overo board support?
Additionally, I don't see any recent binary packages available for qemu-linaro. The qemu-linaro packages on the Ubuntu PPA haven't been built for almost a year now, and the releases.linaro.org page doesn't seem to have recent qemu-linaro builds either.
Thanks,
Dominic

QEMU kernel debugging setup [TCWG-568]
-- Figure out steps to debug kernel with ARM cortex A15 core.
More Kernel debugging to investigate limitation of ARM watchpoint
implementation [TCWG-569]
-- Get A15 core running on QEMU and debug kernel hw debug
implementation on both A9 and A15.
Updates to GDB wiki pages with kernel debugging howto.
I've completed renaming Cbuildv2 to Abe, as well as modifying all the
board files for remote testing to match what the new DNS server is
using. Please stop using the existing cbuild2 repository, as all changes
are now done in the new repository. I'll leave the old repository for a
while, I know there are branches there people depend on. For those, I'm
sorry for the pain (having just gone through that myself), but please
migrate any important branches to the new repository. URLs for that are
here:
