== Progress == - libssp gcc Initiated mails for upstream discussion on supporting global and TLS based libssp ABI for Aarch64. Now waiting for feedback from ARM maintainers. - Built few benchmarks with Linaro tool chain binaries. Faced some openmp failures, compiler disabled for libgomp. Looking to rebuild the linaro cross tool chain. - Rebased glibc trunk and ran cross glibc tests on V8 foundation model. With TLS SSP patch glibc's libresolve.so fails to build because the stage 1 GCC compiler emits global stack_chk_guard. The glibc dos not export global stack_chk_gaurd, when TLS based stack guard is set. Now looking at supporting and test both TLS and global stack guard ABI, but before that waiting for confirmation from ARM maintainers. - Reinstalled linux 13.04 ubuntu on my laptop - Tested the patch http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-12/msg00170.html for aarch64-none-elf target. No regressions found. == Plan == - Continue upstream discussions and post RFC patches for glibc and gcc libssp - Explore on cbuildv2 - Cross Build few openmp benchmarks

armv5 and ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE

by Riku Voipio

Hi, According the debian bug report [1], it is not possible to use std::future on armv5 targetting toolchains. This is because libstdc++ will only enable std::future if ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE > 1. There is no LDREX for armv5 and older, so this definition is set to ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE when compiling for ARMv4t or ARMv5. My impression is that you should be able to use the kernel helpers for atomic operations in lockfree (?) manner, so the ATOMIC_INT_LOCK_FREE definition is probably incorrect on older arm archs then?

Re: Heap reclaim question/documentation

On 21 November 2013 07:12, Karlsson, Magnus <Magnus.Karlsson(a)lsi.com> wrote: > Just wondering if somebody could point me to a good document on how the heap > reclamation algorithm works for memory allocated in a user space program > using the regular malloc/calloc functions. Section 7.1.3, whose sub-sections include: "Implementation of malloc() and free()", "Tools and libraries for malloc debugging", and "Controlling and monitoring the malloc package", of Michael Kerrisk's "The Linux Programming Interface" (http://man7.org/tlpi/index.html) is one of the better reads of which I'm aware. He recommends reading the man pages for malloc_info, malloc_stats, mallopt, and mallinfo (among others) for more information. In the C language, reclamation of allocated memory is usually driven by the application. When you free() some memory, internal structures know the size of what was previously allocated at the given location (i.e. what was given to you by malloc()) and simply release that back into the heap. There are ways to tweak the allocation of memory.

Is there any description about the toolchain release file naming rule?

by YongQin Liu

Hi, All Under this site http://releases.linaro.org/13.09/components/toolchain/binaries/, there are many files released. but do we have any description on the file naming rules? Sorry for my simple question, I just want to know what the files are used for. which one I should select when I need to use toolchain. Like the files below, I can guess that aarch64 means that it will generate files run on aarch64 platform, but I can not guess what's the difference between linux and none, and not know what's the difference between gnu and elf. So if you have any wiki/link about the the naming rules or description about the file, please share me. crosstool-ng-linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2013.09-01.tar.bz2 crosstool-ng-linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2013.09.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_runtime.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_src.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_win32.zip gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-20130912_win32.exe gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_runtime.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_src.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.09-01_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.09-01_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.09-01_win32.zip gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.09-01_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_runtime.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_win32.zip gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09-01_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_runtime.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_src.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-linux-gnu-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-none-elf-4.8-2013.09-01_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-none-elf-4.8-2013.09-01_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-none-elf-4.8-2013.09-01_win32.zip gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-none-elf-4.8-2013.09-01_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-none-elf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-none-elf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-none-elf-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip gcc-linaro-aarch64_be-none-elf-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09-20130912_win32.exe gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_runtime.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_src.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip.xz gcc-linaro-armeb-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-armeb-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_linux.tar.xz gcc-linaro-armeb-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_runtime.tar.bz2 gcc-linaro-armeb-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip gcc-linaro-armeb-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.09_win32.zip.xz -- Thanks, Yongqin Liu --------------------------------------------------------------- #mailing list linaro-android(a)lists.linaro.org <linaro-dev(a)lists.linaro.org> http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-android linaro-validation(a)lists.linaro.org <linaro-dev(a)lists.linaro.org> http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-validation

CortexM toolchain recommendations

by Trevor Woerner

Hi toolchain gurus, I am about to start some projects working with CortexMx devices and am wondering if anyone has an opinion on which toolchain(s) I should use/investigate? Being a fan of Linaro, my first instinct would be to use cbuild2 to build an arm-none-eabi- toolchain from a 4.8.x tree. But looking around I can't help notice https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded. Does anyone know if gcc-arm-embedded has things the Linaro toolchain doesn't wrt Cortex M0, M3, and M4 device/instruction support? Best regards, Trevor

Testing Android on LAVA

by Renato Golin

Hi LAVA folks, I don't know if you guys know, but Android is moving to LLVM for the next release or so. As such, we'll need to do a lot of testing between now and next release to make sure each component can be compiled (and runs correctly) with LLVM on an incremental basis. We're trying to come up with a way for remotely testing the Linux kernel booting on ARM devices, more specifically an Android stack, and I'm finding it hard to do that with my home equipment. Doing that in LAVA would be ideal, and I know the Android team does it already, but our constraints could be a little different. Basically, there are two fronts: 1. Building Android components with LLVM, using a GCC-compiled kernel booting on an ARM board, in LAVA. This is something we should work internally on how to do it, and it'll be between Android, LAVA and Toolchain groups. 2. Building the Linux kernel with LLVM, and using a GCC-compiled image (like stock CyanogenMod) to test the kernel. We don't have such a kernel (many patches), but the LLVMLinux guys do, and that's where they come in. On the second case, the topic of this email, we'd have to liaise with them to fire jobs at LAVA from their own infrastructure (originally, manually only), and that might need some thinking. But ultimatelly, we want to have those jobs running on LAVA, so that later on we'd be able to have a third layer: Linux+Android built with LLVM with the same system level tests. Since the LLVMLinux guys don't have access to much ARM hardware, and since it's easier for us to scale (or to re-define) hardware requirements, having them running on LAVA makes even more sense. Is this something we can do? Is this being done already? Is this just a question of legal/corporate decision, or is there any technical issues we have to look into? Android folks, It might make more sense if you guys just grab their kernel and build the Android system based on that internally, so that we don't need external access to job submissions in LAVA, but that would mean work from you guys to patch it up, and that might not be in the roadmap for the next months. Is that a feasible route? cheers, --renato

= Progress == * Created Cards for the infrastructure Team TODO list. * Finished Cbuildv2 support for building GDB binary tarballs. * Got Arch linux up on Odroid XU board again, seems stable, did a build and test run. * Experimented with lava-tool. * Tried to get GCC trunk building native on aarch64 for libsanitizer patch testing. * Upgraded gmp to 5.1.3 in infrastructure/ to work around a configure bug triggered by crouton native builds on a chromebook. * Setup chromebook slaves in new toolchain build farm. * Started adding support to Cbuildv2 to handle git URLs with a user name, ie.. git(a)staging.git.linaro.org to work around git repo problem. == Plan == * Finish support for user names in URLs. * Continue on remote testing support. * Keep trying gcc trunk on aarch64 native. * Fix git repo. == Issues == * GCC git repo hasn't been auto updating the svn branch of linaro-4.8-branch. It used to work... updating manually is now broken as well. * Somehow qemu snapshots tarballs are overwriting the toolchain directories on snapshots.linaro.org. * I don't think lava-tool is going to be useable for toolchain testing, as it only queues up an executable test case to be run later, whereas GCC expects the test to get run right away.

Worked from AMD Austin. == Progress == * TLS based libssp support. Solved segmentation faults in clone and fork tests regressing from the patch I wrote. Ran glibc tests. Two tests still fail, tst-cancel-17.c and tst-memqueue8.c. They both use pthread_cancel and with my patch they time out. Debugging it to find the cause. Informed Maintainer about my status and got some advice to debug. == Plan == * Taking vacation next week. * But will continue send out gcc patch for libssp. * reinstall ubuntu on my laptop

== Progress == * Enabled building GDB in all Cbuildv2 builds for --build all. * Added support for Cbuildv2 to to build GDB source tarball. * Got Canadian Crosses building via Cbuildv2, although I have to apply a one line patch, which I was trying to avoid. * Enabled Canadian Cross builds via Jenkins. * Source and binary snapshots builds via Jenkins now getting copied to snapshots.linaro.org. * Got started migrating Christophe's neon intrinsic test cases to GCC testsuite. * Added DejaGnu 'linaro' branch to Cbuildv2 infrastructure so the new baseboard files are available for Jenkins builds. * Applied Christophe's libsanitizer patch on aarch64 APM board and tried to get GCC to compile. Unsuccessful so far. * Installed crouton 'saucy' on new HP Chromebook 11. * Installed Fedora 19 on Samsung Chromebook. * Started adding support to Cbuildv2 for building LLVM and Clang and other components. I wish they all used autotools. :-) * Got Gerrit working for GCC and Cbuildv2. The LAVA team has been very helpful, but the setup docs miss way too many critical details. == Plan == * Figure out how to gpg sign the tarballs cbuildv2 is producing in a secure manner. * Finish adding support for building GDB binary tarballs. * More work on neon intrinsics test cases. * Work with new team member Mike to help him get up to speed on all things Linaro. * Try to get GCC trunk to build on aarch64. * Off to the "Hacker's Conference" out here in Santa Cruz, back home late Monday night. == Issues == * Eglibc defines caddr_t as a typedef, where auto-host for a Canadian Cross defines caddr_t, so stage2 fails to build. * Sucked up all the disk space in the toolchain_cloud instance, so all Jenkins builds are not working. * We'd like to rename Cbuildv2 to something else, suggestions welcome. :-)

== Progress == * Got Odroid XU board stable by using Arch Linux. None of the Ubuntu derived images worked more than barely. Tried a suggested hack to use cpufreq-set -g performance, which allowed a fresh install of saucy to work. Did new builds and test run. * Got remote toolchain testing working on the newly functioning Odroid board(s) and chromebook. Currently baseboard support is in a DejaGnu branch, http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dejagnu.git/?h=linaro. I'm adding the global site.exp file to Cbuildv2, so 'make check' executes tests via ssh on remote targets. * Uploaded test results of ARM native builds to cbuild.validation.linaro.org for tcwg-web. (look for version gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.10.24) * Added support to DejaGnu to use a custom port for ssh and scp. * Survived learning to use Concur for expense reports. == Plan == * Attend Connect, do presentation, go to others. * Try to work around problem with importing test results. (need to work with LAVA team for this one, will do at Connect) * Copy tarballs to snapshots.linaro.org.

Very short week was on leave 14th and 16th October (India Holidays). == Progress == * libssp glibc Glibc tests are Segmenting at dl_close_worker, when I set pointer guard. Debuging shows segfaults while expanding THREAD_GSCOPE_WAIT. My assumption is thread pointer points to TCB and after allocating 16 Bytes before that, we can set pointer gaurd at tp -16. But not sure, why it affects the pthread structure header which holds gscope_flag. Also looked at TLS_MULTIPLE_THREADS_IN_TCB, enabling it lead to __libc_multiple_threads undefined errors. == Plan == * Continue libssp support. * PGO for aarch64

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 4.8 and 4.7 2013.10 released

by Christophe Lyon

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of both Linaro GCC 4.8 and Linaro GCC 4.7. Linaro GCC 4.7 2013.10 is the nineteenth release in the 4.7 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.7.4+svn203509 release, this is the sixth release after entering maintenance. Interesting changes include: * Updates to GCC 4.7.4+svn203509 * Fix for LP #1229170 Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.10 is the seventh release in the 4.8 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.8.1+svn203510 release, it includes performance improvements and bug fixes. Interesting changes include: * Updates to GCC 4.8.1+svn203510 * Improved AArch64 support (CRC extension, improved intrinsics, gprof support) * Improved Aarch32 support (bug fixes, better code generation, improved multilib) * Backports for bug fixes (PR58578 We are aware that FSF GCC 4.8.2 was released earlier this week. However, this release happened too late in our cycle for us to use it as the basis for Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.10. The only functional difference contained in FSF GCC 4.8.2 that is not in Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.10 is a correction to a x86 test case. The source tarballs are available from: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+milestone/4.7-2013.10 https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+milestone/4.8-2013.10 Downloads are available from the Linaro GCC page on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro More information on the features and issues are available from the release pages: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/4.7/4.7-2013.10 https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/4.8/4.8-2013.10 Mailing list: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/ Questions? https://ask.linaro.org/ Interested in commercial support?

== Issue == * AArch64 frame grows downward: no feedback yet. == Progress == * Disable-peeling: Vectorizer cost model has been changed upstream, quick look at benchmark results show little difference between before and after the change. Need to analyze further, since I expected the regressions previously identified with my patch to appear here too. * AArch64 bootstrap failure: succesfully bootstrapped in the model. * GCC trunk validation: - improved configurability (default cpu, fpu, mode, testsuite flags are selectable) - requested feedback to build the list of desirable combinations to validate * Backports/release 2013.10 - a few more backports completed - re-trying to backport the ILP32 and refactoring series proves again to be tricky, but helped identify backports which had escaped from the list. - cbuild has disk full again * GCC Neon intrinsics testsuite: -- posted a proposition to add my executable tests to the existing framework. No feedback yet. == Next == * Make 2013.10 releases, both with the historical process and using cbuildv2, in parallel * Disable-peeling/new vectorizer cost model: analyze bench results

Hi team, In the GCC.pdf of gcc-linaro-aarch64-none-elf-4.8-2013.08, it says that -mcpu supports cortex-a53, but when I tried to build a simple hello bare metal application with -mcpu=cortex-a53 option, gcc reports, Error: unknown cpu `cortex-a53' Error: unrecognized option -mcpu=cortex-a53 Could you please confirm whether Cortex-A53/A57 performance tunning is supported?

[ANNOUNCE] Aarch64 toolchain binaries respin 2013.09-01 released

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

We have spotted a problem with the GOT layout in binaries generated by the 2013.09 Aarch64 toolchain, causing them to crash on startup. New builds fixing this issue are now available at http://releases.linaro.org/13.09/components/toolchain/binaries The arm-linux-gnueabihf and arm-none-eabi toolchains are not affected by this problem - there is no respin version for those builds. The Linux version is supported on Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 12.04, Debian 6.0.2, Fedora 16, openSUSE 12.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 5.7 and later, and should run on any Linux Standard Base 3.0 compatible distribution. Please see the README about running on x86_64 hosts. The Windows version is supported on Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Vista Business SP2, and Windows 7 Pro SP1. The binaries and build scripts are available from: http://releases.linaro.org/13.09/components/toolchain/binaries Need help? Ask a question on https://ask.linaro.org/ Already on Launchpad?

== Progress == * AArch64 frame grows downward: no feedback yet. * Disable-peeling: Vectorizer cost model has been changed upstream, the current default now includes the effect of disabling peeling. I have submitted benchmark jobs to check the exact effet; expecting some regressions since the reduced test case I was working on now generates the same code as with my patch. * AArch64 bootstrap failure: build it still on-going, so still hoping to reproduce it. * GCC trunk validation: - good progress on reporting - cross-validating several configurations (currently 18) for each upstream commit is too much for our compute farm to handle. Reduced to patches related to ARM/AArch64, but then we can miss regressions caused by other generic patches. * Backports: - committed a few simple ones. == Next == * AArch64 frame grows downward: continue * Disable-peeling/new vectorizer cost model: analyze bench results * Backports : check which ones can be reasonably done
