Parallel cross-testing of GCC

by Maxim Kuvyrkov

Hi, I have tried out a prototype of using binfmt_misc, and it does not appear to be a worthwhile solution at this point. Bottom line: with a nice fast multi-core x86 server and a pool of ARM boards we can test GCC in ~20min. Testing setup: - Core i3 2-core host - Chromebook 2-core target, SSD disk - WiFi network - GCC mainline built from sources with same flags both natively and cross: C, C++, Fortran. General observations about testing ARM toolchains: - When testing natively target is busy 100%: around 50% of time is spent compiling testcases, 40-45% in dejagnu/expect, 5-10% on actual test execution. Target is the bottleneck. -- 21633.22user 4400.13system 4:13:11elapsed - With testing cross using standard rsh_prog=ssh, rcp_prog=scp, target is busy 40% of the time: 30% on ssh, 10% on actual test execution. Host is the bottleneck. -- - When testing cross (using method below) target is busy only 15-20% of the time: 10% on ssh and 10% on actual test execution. Host is the bottleneck. -- 9490.16user 2882.54system 1:10:57elapsed I've got a prototype implementation of parallelized cross-testing of GCC that I'm happy with using rsh_prog and rcp_prog dejagnu wrappers: General observations on dejagnu cross-testing process: - All communication with the target is done by Dejagnu via rsh_prog and rcp_prog hooks. These are normally defined to ssh and scp respectively. - Dejagnu copies every testcase to /tmp/ on the target with scp. - Dejagnu executes every testcase via ssh off target's /tmp/. In total there is 1 scp and 3 ssh invocations per testcase. The idea of below scripts is to assume shared filesystem between host and a pool of target boards, and skip copying executables to target's local filesystem. Since there is no longer local state (local state == contents of /tmp) on the target boards, testcases can be executed on any of the boards in the pool. This happens transparently to dejagnu: dejagnu issues "rsh_prog chromebook-pool ./test" and then rsh_prog converts this to "ssh chromebook-XX ./test", where XX chosen at random. Script implementation notes: - For some unholy reason there is no way of correctly parse command line from dejagnu and give it to bash. The reason why myssh script ssh'es onto host itself is because that's the only way I've found to reliably execute the command. Hey! The command line was intended for ssh anyway! - Myssh script translates hostname of foobar-pool-01-03-08 into foobar01, foobar03 or foobar08 chosen at random. If there is no "-pool-" mentioned in hostname, then it is used verbatim. -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org

ld can't deal with LTO bytecode in static libraries

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Hi, I've run into some compile errors after updating to 4.9 -- usually getting undefined references to symbols defined in helper static libraries. It turns out this is triggered by gcc -flto now creating slim object files by default (-ffat-lto-objects "fixes" it) - but I think it is actually an ld bug that should be fixed at some point. ld (regardless of whether I use -fuse-linker-plugin, -fuse-ld=gold or -fuse-ld=bfd) doesn't seem to see LTO bytecode in object files that are inside an ar wrapper. It deals with the library just fine if I use "ar x" to extract its object files and link to them individually as opposed to the .a file. I've attached a small test case to demonstrate ("make broken" shows the error, "make works" shows the workaround). Is there any reason why ld should behave the way it does, or is this a bug that needs fixing? ttyl bero

[ yes, another buildbot of sorts ] - restarted builds+validations to last known successful status (i.e. before last week-end) - builds are catching up * Neon intrinsics tests (3/10) - continuing conversion (about 40 files done, out of ~140) * Misc (meetings, conf-calls, ...) (3/10) * Backports for 4.9: - started reviewing candidate backports == Next == * GCC trunk cross-build/cross-validation: - monitor and report regressions * Neon intrinsics tests: - continue conversion - prepare a cleaner branch for upstream submission * Backports: - more reviews - process improvements

Using binfmt_misc for cross testing

by Maxim Kuvyrkov

I have been thinking how to simplify cross-testing our toolchain for both automated and development/debugging builds, and among various options the most universal I came up with is ARM hardware + ssh + binfmt_misc + sshfs. I wonder if anyone has already tried this or can suggest alternatives which are as universal. Given: - host x86_64 development machine - cross-compiler - target hardware with fast network to the host - host and target have ssh - testsuite (gcc/glibc/gdb/etc) Here is how it is going to work 1. On host we create a simple wrapper script that will pass through its arguments as command to execute on target via ssh: === #!/bin/sh ssh -p 22NN $TARGET_BOARD "$@" === 2. We register this script in binfmt_misc to be used as interpreter for target binaries. Value of $TARGET_BOARD will be picked up from the environment and can be set to different boards for different testsuite runs. 3. The target board needs to be prepared for a particular testsuite run: -- Runtime libraries need to be either copied or mounted via sshfs from the host. It is an open question how best to install several sets of libraries (for parallel runs) so that each set appears to be main system libraries. My current thinking is a separate ssh server inside chroot per each test run. -- Test directory needs to be sshfs mounted on target from host so that the target could see test executables. -- Preparation/finalization of the board can either be done explicitly before/after testing. Or it can be done on demand by the aforementioned script: the script checks whether a multiplexed ssh socket exists, and, if not, it prepares the board and starts a multiplexed ssh connection. 4. Testing is fired up as if it is normal "native" testing. Whenever kernel is given an ARM binary to execute -- it passes it off to wrapper, which passes it off to the target board via ssh. The board sees same filesystem as host and happily executes binaries against toolchain runtime libraries. Comments or rotten tomatoes? Thank you, -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.05 released

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2014.05 stable release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.05 is the second Linaro GCC source package release in the 4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.1+svn210052 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. Interesting changes in this GCC source package release include: * Updates to GCC 4.9.1+svn210052 * Backport of the Ada AArch64 support Feedback and Support 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 Launchpad against "Linaro GCC project": http://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+filebug. * Questions? "ask Linaro": http://ask.linaro.org/. * Interested in commercial support? inquire at "Linaro support":mailto: support(a)linaro.org [1] Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed. [2] Engineering source package releases are defined as releases where the compiler is only put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed.

== Progress == * Reload - IRA bug fix (5/10) - In thumb2 mode, we get a pattern "*ior_scc_scc" for the third argument expression by the combiner pass. - Expression Class:foo(x,0,((y==x)||(z==x))) x gets register r1 and second r2 . - The class object this pointer is passed in r0. r7 is used for stack pointer. - The pattern "*ior_scc_scc" demands more LO_REGISTERS. It needs 5 LO_registers for destination and 4 source operands. But we are left with r3,r4,r5,r6 only. - Such situation is handled for Thumb1 only using TARGET_CLASS_LIKELY_SPILLED_P. Thumb2 should accept HI registers also. - Changing the pattern to accept general registers for destination operation is also not helping. - Need to explore secondary reload macros. * Misc - AMD meetings and internal tasks (2/10) - 1-1 meetings (Ryan, Christophe and Maxim) (1/10) * Testing: Installed packages and ran GCC Linaro compiler 4.8 correctness tests on hardware.

[RFC][AArch64] Remove CORE_REGS form reg_class

by Kugan

Hi All, AAarch64 back-end defines GENERAL_REGS and CORE_REGS with the same set of register. Is there any reason why we need this? target hooks like aarch64_register_move_cost doesn’t handle CORE_REGS. In addition, IRA cost calculation also has logics like make common class biggest of best and alternate; this might get confused with this. Attached RFC patch removes it. regression tested for aarch64-none-linux-gnu on qemu-aarch64 with now new regression. Is this OK ? Thanks, Kugan gcc/ 2014-05-14 Kugan Vivekanandarajah <kuganv(a)linaro.org> * config/aarch64/aarch64.c (aarch64_regno_regclass) : Change CORE_REGS to GENERAL_REGS. (aarch64_secondary_reload) : LikeWise. (aarch64_class_max_nregs) : Remove CORE_REGS. * config/aarch64/aarch64.h (enum reg_class) : Remove CORE_REGS. (REG_CLASS_NAMES) : Likewise.

Problem building arm toolchain for x86_64 host system

by Alexis Fajardo Moya

Hello, I have a problem building gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain for my x86_64 system. I download crosstool-ng (v1.13) and toolchain source code (4.8-2014.03) from http://releases.linaro.org/14.03/components/toolchain/binaries.

== Week of April 14th == - Benchmarked autoprefetcher patches. (TCWG-388, 2/10) - Continued working on spec2xxx-utils scripts. These are now gaining support for AArch64 and SPEC2006. (TCWG-238, 4/10) - Various discussions. (2/10) - Short week due to Good Friday / Easter. (2/10) == Week of April 21st == - Take Tyler B.'s LAVA test definition for SPEC benchmarking and adjust spec2xxx-utils scripts to match LAVA environment. - Investigate regressions on gap, eon and wupwise from autoprefetcher patches. -- SPEC2000's gap in particular is sensitive to 1st scheduling pass with register pressure, and, apparently has a 5% performance improvement potential (at -O2 Cortex-A15). - Various discussions. - Even shorter week due to Easter Monday and ANZAC Day on Friday.
