The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) announces the 2014.07-1 release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. This is a respin of the 2014.07 release which contained a backport of a revision that is only relevant to trunk. Changes in this GCC source package release are: * Updates to GCC 4.9.1 (svn212635) * Revert backport of [AArch32] Fix PR target/61154. Please find the original 2014.07 release notes below: The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2014.07 stable release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.07 is the fourth Linaro GCC source package release in the 4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.1+svn212419 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 performance of the compiler as the FSF GCC compiler approaches version 4.9.1. The Linaro TCWG will provide monthly stable[1] source package releases until FSF GCC 4.9.1 is released. At that point Linaro GCC 4.9 will merge in FSF GCC 4.9.1 and, release Linaro GCC 4.9.1, and then return to a schedule of stable quarterly releases and monthly engineering[2] releases.

help, here is a armV8 32bit question for linaro 4.8: the code I given below adopt sembedding ARMV8 assembly , but the compile result with Linaro GCC 4.8 aarch32 is not correct

by Panshilin (Peter)

Hi all concerned: this test code I given below: AARCH32 [https://email-cn04.huawei.com/owa/14.3.158.1/themes/base/pgrs-sm.gif] Test function[X][X] { volatile unsigned int val0 = 0; volatile unsigned int val1 = 0; asm volatile(“mrrc p15, 1, %0, %1, c15” : “=r”(val0), “=r”(val1)) val0 &= ~(1<<6); val1 &= ~(1<<6); asm volatile(“mcrr p15, 1, %0, %1, c15” : “=r”(val0), “=r”(val1)); } After compiling, the result is: mrrc 15, 1, r2, r3, cr15 str r2, [fp, #-28] str r3, [fp, #-24] ldr r3, [fp, #-28] bic r3, r3, #64; str r3, [fp, #-28] ldr r3, [fp, #-24] bic r3, r3, #64 str r3, [fp, #-24] mcrr 15, 1, r2, r3, cr15 obviously , it is not what I expect. I have val0 an vl1 two vars, but the compiling result is only one val takes effect. especia I have to mention is AARCH32. thanks. Peter

FW: Request received: accessing toolchain source releases - Member user

by Scott Douglass

Hi, Do you happen to know the answer to the git/svn questions below? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: LDTS [mailto:support@linaro.zendesk.com] Sent: 25 July 2014 08:43 To: Scott Douglass Subject: Request received: accessing toolchain source releases - Member user Thank you for contacting Linaro. Your request (#927 <https://support.linaro.org/requests/927> ) has been received and is being reviewed by Linaro Developer Technical Support (LDTS). One of our Support agents will be in contact with you as soon as possible. If you would like our agent to contact you via phone, please include your phone number in the comments. To view your ticket and/or add additional comments, reply to this email or click the link below: http://support.linaro.org/requests/927 Scott Douglass Jul 25 16:43 Hi, I’ve been looking at https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain (https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain) and I see the Tree links that give me the git repository and commit id for the current releases of the toolchains (for example, 4.9-2014.06-1 => https://git.linaro.org/toolchain/gcc.git/commit/56d9fd9281e8cef3ea35b7d9ad8… (https://git.linaro.org/toolchain/gcc.git/commit/56d9fd9281e8cef3ea35b7d9ad8… My first question is: is there a straight-forward way (for example, a tag) to find the commit ids of older (4.9) releases? Or is searching the commit messages the best way? Also, is there svn access as well or just git access? (Git access is enough, but svn access would be slightly easier for me.) Also, I has a couple comments on that wiki page: It says “Pre-built versions that run on generic Linux or Windows are available at http://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries.”, but it looks like the that Launchpad project is no longer being maintained (no 4.9 and no recent 4.8). Perhaps the wiki page should be updated (and the Launchpad description updated). The wiki page also links to https://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/Next/Release/Status (https://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/Next/Release/Status) which seems even more out-of-date than the Launchpad binaries; perhaps that link should be updated/removed, too.

VFP in BE mode - undefined instruction vstmia

by Joel (Xi Zhou) Zhou

Hi all, I'm working on booting Linaro LSK 3.10.40 kernel in be8 mode on our Cortex-A9 system. There is an issue related to VFP instruction. It complain "vstmia" is an undefined instruction. The VFP is supported in CPU and CONFIG_VFP and CONFIG_VFPv3 are enabled in kernel config. Are there any patch need to be done for VFP in BE mode? The booting log show as following: call sys_access(/init) Freeing unused kernel memory: 2832K (c0600000 - c08c4000) kernel_init: try to execute '/init' (ramdisk_execute_command) en->run_init_process(/init) init (1): undefined instruction: pc=0000aab8 Code: f00f dff8 2a20 1268 (acec) 108b Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000004 The disassembly code show the undefined instruction is "vstmia". armeb-linux-gnueabihf-objdump -D busybox_unstripped > busy.asm 0000aa90 <__sigsetjmp>: ... aab6: 6812 ldr r2, [r2, #0] aab8: ecac 8b10 vstmia ip!, {d8-d15} aabc: f412 7f00 tst.w r2, #512 ; 0x200 The rootfs is busybox 1.22.1 compiled by Linaro BE hard floating toolchain. https://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-… Thanks, Joel

== Issues == * None == Progress == * Take care Linaro binaries release (1/10). * Send out ccmp patches for community review (TCWG-488, 1/10). * loop2_invariants heuristics tune (1/10, TCWG-469). One patch was committed @r212135. * Constant optimization (TCWG-486, 7/10 ) - Try to keep constant in register when expanding. But benchmark results show regression due to combine behavior changes. - Try to keep unsigned constant when expanding. For crc |= 0x8000, crc is unsigned short. If 0x8000 is represented as unsigned value, no need to split 0x8000. But in middle-end, wide_int_storage::set_len and trunc_int_for_mode always do sign extension. "trunc_int_for_mode (INTVAL (op), mode) == INTVAL (op)" is always checked when checking operand (e.g. in general_operand of recog.c). And in RTL, there is no "unsigned" information at all. == Plans == * Update ccmp patches according to comments. * Continue on constant optimization. * Ping pending patches.

One solution is to ignore any gimple statements that load negative constants when eliminating zero/sign extension elimination. * We also loose the OVF(INF) information in tree when they are converted to wide_int and propagated to SSA. - Testing on a target that support PTR_EXTEND * Trying to set-up x86_64-linux with -mx32.

Reg. Error during binutils build

by Gopalasubramanian, Ganesh

I got an error while trying to build the latest Linaro-binutils source (http://releases.linaro.org/14.06/components/toolchain/binutils-linaro/binut…). ../bfd/bfd.h:304:75: error: right-hand operand of comma expression has no effect [-Werror=unused-value] #define bfd_set_section_userdata(bfd, ptr, val) (((ptr)->userdata = (val)),TRUE) Found that the error is already resolved in FSF trunk (https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-01/msg00334.html). Is that on cards for backport? Regards Ganesh

Issue with LPAE in Linux kernel

by Taras Kondratiuk

It seems we have an issue with 4.8 toolchain. Recent Linux kernels (v3.15, v3.16) fails to boot on TI Keystone 2 SoC with LPAE enabled if built by gcc 4.8, while they boots fine if built by 4.6, 4.7 or 4.9. Linux kernel versions used for testing: - 3.15, 3.16 - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 4.8 toolchain binaries: http://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-a… 4.9 toolchain binaries: http://releases.linaro.org/14.05/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-a… Our current investigation results: 1) The issue happened somewhere inside function arch/arm/mm/mmu.c -> paging_init(). 2) At the moment when paging_init() -> kmap_init() function is called the value of static structure "init_mm" become corrupted and (&init_mm)->pgd has changed its value from 0xc0003000 to 0xe2411001. 2.1) "init_mm" is initialized statically in mm/init-mm.c and not modified by code struct mm_struct init_mm = { .mm_rb = RB_ROOT, .pgd = swapper_pg_dir, .mm_users = ATOMIC_INIT(2), .mm_count = ATOMIC_INIT(1), .mmap_sem = __RWSEM_INITIALIZER(init_mm.mmap_sem), .page_table_lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(init_mm.page_table_lock), .mmlist = LIST_HEAD_INIT(init_mm.mmlist), INIT_MM_CONTEXT(init_mm) }; 2.2) The below debugging code produces following log output: [ 0.000000] cma: CMA: reserved 16 MiB at 2e800000 [ 0.000000] Memory policy: Data cache writealloc [ 0.000000] ==== map_lowmem c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== dma_contiguous_remap c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== devicemaps_init c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== kmap_init c06ecc08 e2411001 [ 0.000000] Unhandled fault: alignment fault (0x221) at 0xe2411011 Debugging code: void __init paging_init(const struct machine_desc *mdesc) { void *zero_page; build_mem_type_table(); prepare_page_table(); pr_err("==== map_lowmem %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); map_lowmem(); pr_err("==== dma_contiguous_remap %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); dma_contiguous_remap(); pr_err("==== devicemaps_init %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); devicemaps_init(mdesc); pr_err("==== kmap_init %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); kmap_init(); pr_err("==== tcm_init\n"); 2.3) Most of functions called by paging_init() are static and get inlined. If 'static' modifier is removed from devicemaps_init() (so it will not be inlined by compiler), the issue disappears and kernel boots fine. 2.4) The same kernel binary boot fine if LPAE is disable.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.06 released

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2014.06 stable release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.06 is the third Linaro GCC source package release in the 4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.1+svn211054 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 performance of the compiler as the FSF GCC compiler approaches version 4.9.1. The Linaro TCWG will provide monthly stable[1] source package releases until FSF GCC 4.9.1 is released. At that point Linaro GCC 4.9 will merge in FSF GCC 4.9.1 and, release Linaro GCC 4.9.1, and then return to a schedule of stable quarterly releases and monthly engineering[2] releases.

Patch to fix this is posted for review. - Regression when allocating 128bit integer to VFP register * When LRA assigns DImode value to TImode register, it is not setting up it in the right place of TImode. Due to this, one of the moves becomes dead. Patterns needs to be checked. * VFP registers store big-endian values in little-endian format. Hence, subreg for mode greater than word has to be aware of this. As it is, aarch64_cannot_change_mode_class will need the fix like done in ARM. == Plan == * Benchmarking. * Upstream zero/sign extension elimination activities.

== Progress == * GCC trunk cross-validation (CARD-647) (6/10) - recent LRA change to fix AArch64 compiler causes huge memory consumption. - this has caused my validations to crash several servers, and I had to stop them until I could restart reliably. - so far unable to restore them - trying to test LRA tentative fix separately, but results are unreliable too - tested Thomas Preud'homme patch (bswap-2.c), luckily before everything became unstable. * GCC 4.9 branch cross-validation (CARD-647) (1/10) - validation scripts needed some adaptations to handle the 4.9-branch - not running yet, until the trunk problems are solved * Neon intrinsic tests (CARD-????) (1/10) - submitted patch series containing 40 test files (total will be 136) * AArch64 libsanitizer support (TCGW-58) - qemu still needs a patch of mine which I thought had been committed since February.. - once patched, the sanitizer tests now start executing but lead to SEGV+timeout * Misc (meetings, conf-calls, ...)

Turns out that striping tests across target boards does not give much as host is the bottleneck in our setups. -- Prototyped testing using GCC's shared libraries and newly-built sysroot (instead of using system libraries on the target). -- Prototyped testing using schroots -- this appears the way to go about our toolchain testing. For each test run a schroot session is started on the board, complete with a dedicated SSH server and freshly-built sysroot. After testing is done schroot session is closed and everything is cleaned up including disk files and stray processes. - Various discussions (2/10) -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org
