pthread_self() alignment when heap grows up

by Michael Hudson-Doyle

Hi all, I've just filed a bug on glibc I'd love you to take a look at: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16796 Here's the description to save clicking: Hi, There is a test in glibc (tst-tls5) that tests that ((uintptr_t)pthread_self())%16 is zero. But watch this: (t-mwhudson)mwhudson@am1:~$ cat btp.c #include <stdint.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <pthread.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { uintptr_t p = (uintptr_t)__builtin_thread_pointer(); uintptr_t q = (uintptr_t)pthread_self(); printf("p: %lx %ld\n", p, p%16); printf("q: %lx %ld\n", q, q%16); } (t-mwhudson)mwhudson@am1:~$ gcc -o btp btp.c -lpthread (t-mwhudson)mwhudson@am1:~$ ulimit -s unlimited (t-mwhudson)mwhudson@am1:~$ ./btp p: 2000028d88 8 q: 2000028698 8 (t-mwhudson)mwhudson@am1:~$ ulimit -S -s 8192 (t-mwhudson)mwhudson@am1:~$ ./btp p: 7f7fd086f0 0 q: 7f7fd08000 0 So something is clearly wrong; maybe it's just that the test is too strict, but somehow that seems a bit unlikely. FWIW, this doesn't happen if you don't link with libpthread so maaaaybe it's a bug in something that ends up in libpthread's .init section? Cheers, mwh

== Week of March 24th == - STREAM regression (TCWG-388, 5/10) -- Finished prototype patch. The patch adds modeling of ARM L2 auto-prefetcher hardware to GCC scheduler (the model is very simple as auto-prefetcher is very lightly documented). Half of the patch cleans up and improves GCC scheduler, and the other half implements the auto-prefetcher model. -- While looking into ARM scheduling support noticed that ARM doesn't use multipass lookahead scheduling, which surprised me. Enabled it (multipass scheduling) in my patches. - Looked into lll_timed_wait Glibc/uClibc bug upstream (1/10) -- https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-03/msg00905.html - Various discussions and reviews (4/10) == Week of March 30th == - STREAM regression (TCWG-388) -- Benchmark patches on SPEC2k and find/confirm best values for tuning parameters: --- dfa_lookahead: should normally be issue_rate-1. --- L2 auto-prefetcher queue depth: new tuning knob. -- Investigate any performance regressions from the patches. - lll_timed_wait Glibc/uClibc bug -- Make sure it is fixed upstream.

Compatiblity of armv7 GCC produced binary on AArch32 on armv8

by Karlsson, Magnus

Hi, I read in the armv8 architecture reference manual that a number of AArch32 instructions have been obsoleted. Do the current armv7 version of GCC ever generate code containing any of these, without me explicitly writing inline assembly? If it can, how can this be turned off? Just would like to make sure that a C-program (without inline assembly) compiled today for armv7 will run in AArch32 mode when armv8 boards come out. The following are obsoleted in ARMv8:  A32 SWP and SWPB instructions.  Jazelle (only trivial implementations are supported).  VFP short vectors and asynchronous bounces.  Fast Context Switch Extension (FCSE).

-Bsymbolic breaks PMF comparison under ARM

by Giuseppe D'Angelo

Hello, the attached program changes the output from "true" to "false" when the -Bsymbolic / -Bsymbolic-functions options are passed to GCC. This happens on ARM -- on x86-64 output is always "true". The program involves a comparison, within a shared library, of a PMF defined inside the shared library itself with the same PMF passed by the application. At this stage I still don't know if it's a GCC problem, a ld.so problem, ABI constraints, undefined behaviour, or whatnot; but any help is appreciated. Compile with: > g++ -fPIC -shared -Wall -o libshared.so -Wl,-Bsymbolic shared.cpp > g++ -fPIE -Wall -o main main.cpp -L. -lshared (The long story is that Qt 5 is taking PMFs in its public API, and the comparison failing inside of Qt shared libraries is breaking code on ARM, as -Bsymbolic is set by default there.)

build errors

by JustinGuo＠via-alliance.com

Dear Linaro toolchain support team: I am Justin Guo from S3 graphics Inc. I am studying linaro's big-little codes and is using TC2 Platform. I used ./linaro_kernel_build_cmds.sh to build kernel, I got no problem when I set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y to build for kernel. However, When I trace kernel, the traced line in source code level is jumping up/down, so I tried to turn off the optimization. After modified Makefile as below to turn off optimization: ifdef CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Os $(call cc-disable-warning,maybe-uninitialized,) else KBUILD_CFLAGS += -O0 endif I got errors when build linaro kernel for TC2: root@ubuntu:/home/justinguo/linaro/1309# ./linaro_kernel_build_cmds.sh Directory linaro-kernel exists. If the kernel code exists in this directory you may continue without cloning the git repository for the kernel. Are you sure you want to do this? (y/n) y M Makefile HEAD is now at dafe325...

Call for testing QEMU aarch64-linux-user emulation

by Alex Bennée

Hi, After a solid few months of work the QEMU master branch [1] has now reached instruction feature parity with the suse-1.6 [6] tree that a lot of people have been using to build various aarch64 binaries. In addition to the SUSE work we have fixed numerous edge cases and finished off classes of instructions. All instructions have been verified with Peter's RISU random instruction testing tool. I have also built and run many packages as well as built gcc and passed most of the aarch64 specific tests. I've tested against the following aarch64 rootfs: * SUSE [2] * Debian [3] * Ubuntu Saucy [4] In my tree the remaining insns that the GCC aarch64 tests need to implement are: FRECPE FRECPX CLS (2 misc variant) CLZ (2 misc variant) FSQRT FRINTZ FCVTZS Which I'm currently working though now. However for most build tasks I expect the instructions in master [1] will be enough. If you want the latest instructions working their way to mainline you are free to use my tree [5] which currently has: * Additional NEON/SIMD instructions * sendmsg syscall * Improved helper scripts for setting up binfmt_misc * The ability to set QEMU_LOG_FILENAME to /path/to/something-%d.log - this is useful when tests are failing N-levels deep as %d is replaced with the pid Feedback I'm interested in ========================== * Any instruction failure (please include the log line with the unsupported message) * Any aarch64 specific failures (i.e. not generic QEMU threading flakeiness). If you need to catch me in real time I'm available on #qemu (stsquad) and #linaro-virtualization (ajb-linaro). Many thanks to the SUSE guys for getting the aarch64 train rolling. I hope your happy with the final result ;-) Cheers, -- Alex Bennée QEMU/KVM Hacker for Linaro [1] git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git master [2] http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/13.1/appliances/ope… [3] http://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap/rootfs/debian-unstable-arm64.tar… [4] http://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap/rootfs/saucy-arm64.tar.gz [5] https://github.com/stsquad/qemu/tree/ajb-a64-working [6] https://github.com/susematz/qemu/tree/aarch64-1.6

RE: detecting the linaro toolchain via C/C++ preprocessor

by Vermeulen, Michiel

If your code is sensitive to the size of long long, can you use the predefine: __SIZEOF_LONG_LONG__ If that doesn't work, then you can use: gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null to tell you what predefines a gcc compiler has (I would probably look for predefines more specific to what your code is sensitive to than look for a particular compiler). I also wonder a little about your original problem statement since "%lld" should be a way to always print "long long" and if you have a matched set of compiler and library, then it should adjust both together. If you are using "%ld" instead, this works in situations where "long" is the same size as "long long" but may not work when these are different sizes. --mev, Mike Vermeulen

detecting the linaro toolchain via C/C++ preprocessor

by Isidor Zeuner

Hi there! On Linaro gcc 4.6, I am facing an issue due to "long long" integers not being 64 bit as they are on other platforms I'm targeting, which causes different issues, most importantly with printf format strings. I am now circumventing these by using the C/C++ preprocessor in order to choose the right format strings. In order to minimize the necessity for users to manually configure things, I'm wondering if there is a way to detect the Linaro gcc compiler through preprocessor macros. Is this possible? Thanks. Best regards, Isidor

== Progress == * Fixed remote testing via Cbuildv2 (TCWG 324 - 3/10). Currently it supports multiple build farms, it uses my local hardware and the TCWG build farm, and when run via Jenkins it uses the TCWG build farm. * Got qemu-aarch64 built and working, added to the DejaGnu site.exp file used by Cbuildv2, so now aarch64 execution tests actually work. Then cloned qemu-aarch to the x86_64 tcwg build farm machines so Jenkins can use it. (TCWG 393 - 3/10) * Meetings and misc. (4/10) - Worked on LCA14 presentation. - Write documentation on how to tweak the config file for DejaGnu used by Cbuildv2 for remote test execution. - Got Gerritt and Jenkins integrated (thanks Paul!) so merge requests fire up Jenkins to do builds on everything in the TCWG build farm. - Had ITS create a new list 'tcwg-test-results', which soon will get buid failure notifications from Jenkins and any test regressions. - Added support for emailing test results to Cbuildv2. == Plan == * Test the Gerrit/Jenkins integration. * Improve new test analysis script to compare builds from more than the same day, since now some test runs take 32hours with all the execution tests running on a chromebook an Beagle Board. * Travel to Connect! == Issues == * Somebody needs to upgrade the crouton install on all our chromebooks, as the current version won't build GCC native.

"invalid expression as operand" in aarch64 inline asm

by Kugan

Hi, I finally got around to checking the attached patch for the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+bug/1270789 I noticed attached patch causes regression for pr38151.c in gcc test-suite. A reduced test-case that triggers this is: static unsigned long global_max_fast; int __libc_mallopt (int param_number, int value) { __asm__ __volatile__ ("# %[_SDT_A2]" :: [_SDT_A2] "nor" ((global_max_fast))); global_max_fast = 1; } In this regard I have couple of questions: 1. Is the in-line asm valid? Look ok to me. 2. For the pr38151.c regression, asm diff is as shown below. < add x0, x0, :lo12:.LANCHOR0 < ldr x0, [x0] --- > ldr x0, [x0,#:lo12:.LANCHOR0] This causes: pr38151.c:(.text+0x10c): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC against `.rodata' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status. If I however increase the alignment of .rodata where .LANCHOR0 is defined, this passes. Is alignment of BITS_PER_UNIT valid for SYMBOL_REF? If I change it as I am doing this attached patch, is there anything else I need to do. Thanks, Kugan

linaro/eglibc 2.19

by Khem Raj

Hi Linaro'ites We have upgraded eglibc to 2.19 in OpenEmbedded and I started to notice WARNING: No recipes available for: /home/kraj/angstrom/sources/meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-core/eglibc/eglibc_2.18.bbappend NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies And it seems in this bbappend the SRC_URIs are overridden to point to a Linaro release of eglibc I wanted to know if there is a 2.19 head for linaro eglibc being created ? in that case that bbappend needs fixing too. Thanks -Khem

Re: Reg: Recommended options for aarch64

by Matthew Gretton-Dann

Ganesh, Thank you for your email - please note this question is best directed at linaro-toolchain(a)lists.linaro.org where it is more likely to get picked up quickly. Our general rules for benchmarking are to use -mcpu=cortex-a## -O3 as the compiler flags (where ## is the particular CPU you are interested in). Linaro's philosophy is to try and get the best results possible that normal users will see, we don't go looking for 'magic' options that may give better performance on one benchmark, but not in general. Thanks, Matt On 20 February 2014 09:22, Gopalasubramanian, Ganesh <Ganesh.Gopalasubramanian(a)amd.com> wrote: > Hi, > > We would like to run some benchmarks in the foundation model. > I like to know which is the best option-set (GCC compiler options) that the linaro community recommends for aarch64. > > Regards > Ganesh > -- Matthew Gretton-Dann Linaro Toolchain Working Group matthew.gretton-dann(a)linaro.org

-mfpu=softvfp+vfp in LLVM

by Renato Golin

Richard, I found some emails about you implementing softvfp back in 2003, and I'd like to know what is the expected behaviour when it conflicts with the target triple, for example: -triple arm-linux-gnueabihf + -mfpu=sofvfp+vfp In this case, in LLVM, the triple sets "-float-abi=hard" but the fpu would set "+soft-float-abi", which are contradictory flags. Is that case even possible? If so, what's the expected behaviour? Soft or hard float? Do the extra flags always override the triple behaviour? Is it expected that *every* compiler flag will work on a last-seen-sets-behaviour manner? cheers, --renato

Configuration specifics of prebuilt libc binaries

by Evan Carson

Hello, I'm maintaining an older release we have which uses the older toolchian binaries in gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.03-20120326_linux. I've identified a bug in glibc we appear to be encountering and would like to port the fix back. I initially went the route of compiling the above toolchain binaries from source as described in the readme.txt but then found that the cross compiler binary build does not include the e/glibc build and these appear to be sucked in in binary form (oneiric-sysroot-r1). Are there any documents how these prebuilt libc binaries were created? Please note that I'm not asking in general how to build glibc. I've built a version with and without this bug patched to verify that it is indeed what we are hitting. I'm more hoping to get an idea of how the specific binaries mentioned above were built. Thanks in advance for any help! Evan Carson

kernel support for cortex A8 hardware watchpoints

by Marc Kleine-Budde

Hello Ulrich, I'm on a freescale mx53 (single core, cortex a8) and trying to find a nasty problem in our $CUSTOMER's application. Working hardware watch point support in gdb should solve the problem, or at least brings us a big step forward. I stumbled over your about three years old thread[1] about the cortex a8 memory mapped debug registers problem. Do I understand correctly, that you had a8 watch point running on at least one board? Have you got any code and or pointers to get watch point support running? regards, Marc Kleine-Budde [1] http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-toolchain/2011-February/000820.html -- Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | Industrial Linux Solutions | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | Vertretung West/Dortmund | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | http://www.pengutronix.de |

Linaro GNU Compiler (GCC) toolchain : for Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) + FreeRTOS (Demo Project)

by Steffen Sprung

*Hi LINARO-TEAM,* I would like start a software development on a “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) MPU (R7S721010xxx” by using Eclipse IDE (Kepler - 4.3.1). > Global objective = Use free SW development tools I have read, that the “Linaro GCC Toolchain Release Supports Full Range of ARM Cortex-A Processors” and it’s an open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain. > Well – I think that is what I need. So, I have installed the Linaro Toolchain (gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-win32.exe) and test the compilation of the “*Hello World ARM C Project*” for the Target Processor “cortex-A9” > So, the compilation is OK. *NOW, I would like prepare a small TEST-Project with FreeRTOS.* FreeRTOSV8.0.0_Release_Candidate_2 > I have found the “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) RTOS Demo”: http://www.freertos.org/Renesas_RZ_Cortex-A9-RTOS.html But the two projects are provided to be built with the* IAR Embedded Workbench <http://www.iar.com/ewarm>* or the *ARM DS-5 <http://arm.com/products/tools/software-tools/ds-5/index.php> embedded development tools*. > I have seen that the DS-5 Development Studio is not for free but it use also the Linaro GNU Compiler (GCC) toolchain. So, I have tried to import the “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) RTOS Demo” project to Eclipse, *but the import doesn’t work – and I’m not sure that the project uses the Linaro GNU GCC Compiler**.* > I think that Demo project for DS-5 use also special plugins/configuration settings from the Development Studio – so this can’t work ?!… *HELP:* *I’m new in the “Eclipse IDE / Compiler (GCC) toolchain” WORLD … * So, can you help me to give me a good direction - *what I need to do *to make running this small “Blinky-Demo for Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) with the FreeRTOS” by using the Linaro GCC Toolchain. > Or have you another small Demo project for the Linaro GCC Toolchain which uses the FreeRTOS for the Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) family? … Or you think that is not easily possible to do that for a Newcomer like me? I hope that you can help me to put me on the right road.

[ACTIVITY] 27-31 Januery 2014

by Christophe Lyon

* Libsanitizer for AArch64: (4/10) - seems to be mostly working, but trouble with validation both using the Foundation Model and qemu-aarch64. - Some tests seems to loop forever while unwinding under qemu, but run fine under the Foundation model - Conversely the Foundation Model shows some random errors, and the corresponding tests pass under qemu - Some random timeouts with the Foundation Model, despite using ssh multiplexing - Added a small patch to qemu to hande missing mmap flag. Need to send upstream. - asked Rob to run GCC testsuite with my patch on AArch64 but it's too unstable these days * Cross-validation (2/10) - script now able to validate a GCC patch and compare results with unmodified GCC trunk - added arm-none-eabi target - using qemu-aarch64 for aarch64-none-linux-gnueabi but the validations now time out. Need investigation, but I might have to revert to no execution for this target. - identified a problem with the recent armv7-ve patch * Benchmarks: (1/10) - collecting data for 4.8 tables * Peeling: (1/10) - backported new vectorizer cost model to check it if's OK to include it in our next release * Misc (2/10): conf-calls, meetings, docs (howtos for TCWG) == Next == * libsanitizer on AArch64 * fix cross-validation on aarch64-none-linux-gnu * benchmarks: complete table * backports: chek new vectorizer cost model, monthly branch merge, review Michael's backports of Crypto intrinsics

== Progress == * Got binary release building working again. (2/10) * Added a node_selector to Jenkins for the new Beagle Board Blacks, and get those working for native builds. (TCWG-379, 1/10) * Fix configuration of 'build-all' project in Jenkins, now fires up cross builds for supported targets, plus native builds on Chromebooks and Beagle Board Blacks. (1/10) make networking route externally. (TCWG-380) * Meetings and Misc. (3/10) * Got TCWG build farm, all nodes offline fixed. * Wrote wiki page on the build farm. * Updated Java to 1.6 on the Beagle Board Blacks in the TCWG build farm. * Added support to specify an alternate prefix for installation. * Got QEMU and Foundation Model running on TCWG x86_64 build slaves so Jenkins can use them for native builds. (TCWG-380 - 2/10) * Got Rasberry PI softfp image running under QEMU, tried to do build. (TCWG-380 - 1/10) == Plan == * Build static gdbserver for target via Cbuildv2. * Add Win32 installer for Canadian cross built binary releases to Cbuildv2. * Get Kugan's benchmark branch running on build farm. * More Jenkins maintainance. == Potential Leave == * Still working out the huge amount of details, but strongly considering going to Mt Everest after Connect. It'd be a long and rough trip, but a once in a lifetime opportunity.
