using linaro toolcahin to cross compile simple .c file

by Swati Deshmukh

hi, i am using linaro toolcahin binaries to execute simple .c file , so that it creates ARM executable output file i can run on Linaro installed on Hackberry board. this are the all steps i follwed from beginnng.. please let me know if i am missing something here.. 1. i have downloaded gcc for ubuntu from this link https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/+milestone/2012.04 2. on ubuntu, i did tar xjf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux.tar.bz2 export ARM_CROSS_TOOLS=pwd/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- export ARMCC=${ARMEL_CROSS_TOOLS}gcc & then $ARMCC hello.c it created a.out (which is simple executable file and not ARM executable) What i am doing wrong here? i am not getting how do i need to configure gcc . please revert back ASAP!

Multiarch

by Christopher Covington

Hi, It seems to me that your current toolchain releases [1] don't default to a multiarch layout. Am I looking in the right place? Do you anticipate enabling multiarch in the future? Is doing this currently blocked by limitations in tools such as crosstool-ng? 1. http://releases.linaro.org/13.01/components/toolchain/binaries Thanks, Christopher -- Employee of Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.

AArch64 built by default in LLVM

by Renato Golin

As of revision 174322, AArch64 back-end is compiled by default on all architectures. This means it'll be built and tested on all platforms and it'll get heavy bombardment of the changes in the front- and middle-end without breaking for too long. Thanks Tim for the hard work! cheers, --renato

Summary: * Investigate Automotive benchmark performance on different branch cost. Details: 1. Automotive benchmark performance analysis for different branch cost on Pardaboard ES. * Design small test cases to simulate bitmnp01 to compare the performance between ITTT and conditional branch. Test results show - If branch prediction does not work (put the codes in a function), ITTT is always better than conditional branch. - If branch prediction works (inline the codes t in the loop body), for most cases, conditional branch is better than ITTT. * Code alignment has big impact for tblook01. By default IT block has better performance. When adding __attribute__((aligned (16))) for function t_run_test, performance of conditional branch is better than IT block. 2. Prepare Linaro toolchain binary release. * Update Linaro crosstool-ng local patches due to the fix of lp:1067766 in source package. * Spawn all builds and smoke tests. Plan: * Investigate SPEC2k performance for different branch costs. * Work with Bero for 2013.01 toolchain binary release . Planed leaves: * Feb. 9 - 15: Chinese Spring Festival.

Among other things: * looks like we need to emulate some more of the oscillator and voltage config registers now (if only to make the kernel a bit quieter) * the kernel doesn't like the way qemu's boot loader puts the DTB blob after the initrd but beginning in the same page as the initrd ends [free_initrd_mem will trash memory outside the initrd proper but inside that last page] * a15 reports the wrong board model number -- PMM

AArch64 cross compile

by naveen yadav

Dear All, Is it possible to compile ARCH "AArch64 " for 32 mode, like if I have x86 64 bit machine and I install 32 bit OS on it, and machine is compatible with 32 bit binary. So is it possible to use AARCH64 (Cortex-V8) with installation of kernel 32 bit and use 32 bit tool chain. If answer is yes, can I build tool chain or is there option available in linaro cross-compile available from https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/+milestone/2012.12 Thanks

Summary: * Investigate automotive benchmark. * Linaro gcc 4.6 release Details: 1. Automotive benchmark performance analysis for different branch cost for Cortex-A9. * Debug function WriteOut, which is called 12 times on average, leads common performance issue since the IF-THEN in the function is converted to IT block, which TRUE probability is less than 4%. * Identify the root cause of performance regression with IT block for bitmnp01, rspeed01, pntrch01 and ttsprk01. Overall, - The performance of a taken bpl is better than an ITTT. If this is a common sense, for IF-THEN, we'd set branch-cost to 1. - For IF-THEN-ELSE, we'd take branch probability into account when converting it to IT block. - ifcvt might generate useless IT block. 2. Try to do Linaro GCC release. But meet several issues: * Can not branch a clean lp:gcc-linaro/4.7. As a workaround, I had downloaded a clean bzr tree from other site. For next release, I can use the local tree to create the release tarball. * All a9hf-builder ubutests fail due to test environment issue. Plan: * Investigate more benchmarks for different branch costs. Planed leaves: * Feb. 9 - 15: Chinese Spring Festival. Best Regards! -Zhenqiang

AArch64 NEON polynomial types

by Renato Golin Linaro

Hi folks, On the LLVM list, Tim (ARM) is trying to push a patch to update the polynomial types on NEON to unsigned, on both 32-bits and 64-bits, since AArch32 says nothing and AArch64 specifies unsigned (char and short). Is there any such movement on the GCC end? The LLVM folks would rather this be a common move (or GCC first), than going solo and risk losing ABI compatibility. Any comments? cheers, --renato

System : ZYNC ZC702 board with ARM Cortex A9 dual core. OS: Linaro 12.04 LTS GCC - 4.6.3 Is there some flag i have to set in the Makefile to correct the Hard/Soft float type ?

[Activity] Week 02

by Zhenqiang Chen

Summary: * Rebase and test the shrink-wrap patches. * Learn how branch cost impact on code generation. Details: 1. Rebase and test the shrink-wrap patches. * For pretend arguments, it is hard to generate correct dwarf info for case: * Add dwarf info for ldrd_pop. Testing is ongoing. * Expose an interface from regcpprog and do copy propagation for the entry block. Benchmark logs show there are much more functions can be shrink-wrapped. 2. Read codes and enhance ifcvt.c. * For IF-THEN-ELSE, if the last insn of then_bb or else_bb is ANY_RETURN_P, we can save one JUMP. In this, we'd keep max MAX_CONDITIONAL_EXECUTE, not "max *= 2". A patch is sent out for review. * Take the branch probability into account. Test is ongoing. 3. R/M toolchain related work. Plan: * Follow up the shrink-wrap dwarf info issue. * Investigate benchmarks which is impacted by different branch cost. Planed leaves: * Feb. 9 - 15: Chinese Spring Festival. Best Regards! -Zhenqiang

Help on epilogue dwarf info

by Zhenqiang Chen

Hi, Would you please help on how to generate correct epilogue dwarf info? Without correct dwarf info, when shrink-wrap is enabled, it tends to ICE at dwarf2cfi.c: function maybe_record_trace_start. /* We ought to have the same state incoming to a given trace no matter how we arrive at the trace. Anything else means we've got some kind of optimization error. */ gcc_checking_assert (cfi_row_equal_p (cur_row, ti->beg_row)); Issues: 1) pretend_args The attached pretend_arg.c shows an example about pretend_args dwarf info push {r2, r3} .cfi_def_cfa_offset 8 .cfi_offset 2, -8 .cfi_offset 3, -4 use r3 push {r4, r5, lr} ... pop {r4, r5, lr} add sp, sp, #8 //No instruction here to restore r2 and r3 Can we RESTORE r2 and r3? * If we notes to RESTORE r2 and r3, it might lead to wrong info for GDB since no instruction restores them. * If we do not RESTORE them, the reg_save dwarf info will not be cleared. Then the dwarf check will fail when the function is shrink-wrapped. 2) frame_pointer_needed In prologue, we set fp like fp = sp + INT After this instruction, cfi_def_cfa_register is set to fp In epilogue. we have fp += INT sp = fp Can we reset cfi_def_cfa_register back to sp? * If we set it back to sp, how to handle it in arm_unwind_emit_set, which assumes sp can not be set from other register? /* A stack increment. */ if (GET_CODE (e1) != PLUS || !REG_P (XEXP (e1, 0)) || REGNO (XEXP (e1, 0)) != SP_REGNUM || !CONST_INT_P (XEXP (e1, 1))) abort (); * If we do not set it back, to get correct dwarf info for POP after "sp = fp", we have to add notes " sp = fp + INT" for dwarf-info while we have "sp = sp + INT" in the insn. Here is the workaround POP RTL example for the attached alloca,c: (insn/f 62 61 66 3 (parallel [ (set/f (reg/f:SI 13 sp) // sp = sp + 8 (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 13 sp) (const_int 8 [0x8]))) (set/f (reg:SI 3 r3) (mem/c:SI (reg/f:SI 13 sp) [3 S4 A32])) (set/f (reg/f:SI 7 r7) (mem/c:SI (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 13 sp) (const_int 4 [0x4])) [3 S4 A32])) ]) alloca.c:8 329 {*load_multiple_with_writeback} (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:SI 3 r3) (expr_list:REG_CFA_ADJUST_CFA (set (reg/f:SI 13 sp) (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 7 r7) // sp = fp + 8 (const_int 8 [0x8]))) (expr_list:REG_CFA_RESTORE (reg/f:SI 7 r7) (expr_list:REG_CFA_RESTORE (reg:SI 3 r3) (nil)))))) (3) No idea for if (crtl->calls_eh_return) emit_insn (gen_addsi3 (stack_pointer_rtx, stack_pointer_rtx, gen_rtx_REG (SImode, ARM_EH_STACKADJ_REGNUM))); Currently I have no shrink-wrapped test case which crtl->calls_eh_return is true. Thanks! -Zhenqiang

Instruction costs for ARM/NEON

by Renato Golin

Hi all, I'm helping the loop vectorization in LLVM and for that we need first to build the instruction cost model so we can decide whether the vectorization is worth or not. I was looking at some papers, but most of them concern with energy consumption, which is not the issue (at least not for now). The "cost" model should take the point of view of latency, stalls and pipeline cost. I know there are sporadic comments on this on the ARM ARM, but would be good to have a definite resource where to get the data from (and hope it's a public document). Does anyone know of a good place to start looking for that? Even if the document is private, we can certainly hide the information enough to make it to the LLVM code base. cheers, --renato

by Matthias Klose

asking for some help about debian #697521 and lp: #1096619. looking at the config.log files for armel/armhf I don't see any differences. I assume it's a difference in the cpu configuration (armv4/v5 vs. armv7) not soft/hard-float. any pointers?

int64_t definition conflict on Aarch64

by Riku Voipio

Hi, The following code fails to build with OE Aarch64 toolchain with current kernel headers. While ugly, the code is a reduced testcase from fuse build failure ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-oe/+bug/1087757 ) and the same fuse code compiles on all other architectures. Before I send a workaround for upstream, I'd like to know how we can end up with different definitions for int64_t when that happens on no other architectures - something wrong with the generic kernel headers? Testcase: #include <sys/types.h> #define __s64 int64_t #include <signal.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int64_t x=4; return x; } Failure: /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/aarch64-oe-linux/aarch64-oe-linux-gcc -save-temps --sysroot=/data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8 -o test test.c In file included from /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8/usr/include/asm-generic/types.h:7:0, from /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8/usr/include/asm/types.h:1, from /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8/usr/include/linux/types.h:4, from /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:19, from /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8/usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:27, from /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8/usr/include/signal.h:338, from test.c:4: /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8/usr/include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h:29:44: error: conflicting types for 'int64_t' In file included from test.c:2:0: /data/oe/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/genericarmv8/usr/include/sys/types.h:197:13: note: previous declaration of 'int64_t' was here

If you look at upstream SVN GCC and do svn propget svn:ignore you get a long list of files that SVN is set up to ignore. And whilst there isn't a .gitignore other upstream projects which have git mirrors do put a .gitignore in place (see GDB for instance). I think having a .bzrignore which is a copy of the svn:ignore set up (and the defaults that SVN ignores but aren't on bzr's list) would be valid in the repo. Although as I said in the original thread - let's do this when we branch 4.8 and not to the historic branches.

== Progress == * gdb-linaro-7.5-2012.12 release - Updated wikis about gdb sources import from upstream and about gdb-linaro release - still some trouble with infrastructure to achieve the release * 64-bits ops in Neon: no news from upstream * disable-peeling: upstream advice is to enable & tune the vectorizer cost model first, but there seems to be an agreement that if unaligned accesses have no penalty, peeling should not be considered. Updated the vectorizer-cost-model blueprint * builtin_bswap16 backport to linaro-4.7: the i686 regression was caused by the build process. Re-spawned the jobs after fixing the remaining arm issue * cbuild: briefly looked at some scripts to better understand the whole system, while tracking a problem in the gdb validation reports == Next == * handle 64-bits bitops in Neon and disable-peeling feedback from upstream if any * finish builtin_bswap16 backport == Future == * on holidays for 2 weeks (Dec 22th-Jan 6th)

regression of x86 gcc bootstrap with Linaro sourcebase

by Robert Schiele

Hi Ulrich, Before I build the cross compiler for ARM target I do a bootstrap process of an i686 compiler on the same code base to use that one building the cross compiler to reduce the chance of seeing subtle problems late in the game. This process unveiled a x86 bootstrap regression with some of your changes on the Linaro 4.7 branch. It all boils down to the following set of changes you did: commit c904094f2421bbd5d2cab6d7fbccecf055509629 Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com> Date: Mon Jul 16 16:31:58 2012 +0200 Update to exactly reflect upstream version. commit bf378903a1b749b904ae64635182e7fc9b43e0e4 Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com> Date: Tue Jul 10 15:46:51 2012 +0200 Fix backport. commit e0c3b0a21916ffafc058cd88d82423d87ce77b50 Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com> Date: Mon Jul 9 22:52:10 2012 +0200 Fix LP 1020601.

[PATCH 0/5] cortex strings preparation for aarch64

by Marcus Shawcroft

Folks, In preparation for adding aarch64 string functions into cortex-strings, I'd like feed back on the following series of patches. 1/5 Trivial whitespace cleanups. 2/5 Autotools foo for cross building support. 3/5 Autotools foo for architecture detection. 4/5 Missing LDADD and CFLAGS setting. 5/5 Use --std=gnu99 I'm particularly interested in views on 3/5. This patch sets direction for autoconf detection of the host architecture. The intention is that we retain the single toplevel Makefile.am which gains AM_CONDITIONAL support for the detected host triple. The aarch64 specific code will follow in a different patch set. Cheers /Marcus

What tools can be used to protect the KVM and qemu quality？

by chenq

Hi all， I am a rookie, and now I'm focusing on ARM virtualization. As we know,KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution. KVM-Autotest is a set of virtualization tests for X86 platform, but it may not be suitable for ARM.I want to know, in the linaro , what tools can protect the KVM and qemu quality ? Thanks and Regards,Qun Chen

Toolchain Working Group Meeting Times

by Matthew Gretton-Dann

All, As I mentioned on Monday, due to new members of the team coming on board I am going to rejig the meeting times from 18th December. My proposal is as follows (all times UK Local - UTC+0h winter, UTC+1h summer): 0. These changes will come into effect the week commencing 18th December. 1. The weekly call will happen on a Monday, at 0930 and 1600. You only need to make it to one instance of the call. For those who are physically near each other arranging it so that both calls get attended would be good and notes shared would be good. 2. The Stand-up call will happen on a Thursday, alternating between 0930 and 1600. This is 'best effort' - but please try to attend at least every other week. 3. The performance call will go weekly, and will happen on a Thursday, alternating between 0930 and 1600. If you are on the invite list to this call again please try to attend at least every other week, but if you can manage every week that would be great. If you have any comments on these please can you raise them by the end of the week as I would like to confirm what we are going to do at the call on Monday (at the normal time of 0915UTC). Thanks, Matt -- Matthew Gretton-Dann Linaro Toolchain Working Group matthew.gretton-dann(a)linaro.org

== Progress == * Turn off 64-bits bitops in Neon: patch proposed upstream after positive benchmarking. Re-submitted after request to add testcases and documentation for the new option. * Disable peeling: running benchmarks with peeling completely disabled to see the impact. * PGO/hot-cold partitioning: tested new patch from google, which solves some of the ICEs, but makes new ones appear. * builtin_bswap16 backport to Linaro-4.7: checking if there would be a possibility to keep the testcase which fails in one of our configurations, after rebasing my branch. * Trying to bootstrap gcc-linaro/4.7 on board * Internal support == Next == * Follow-up on 64-bits bitops in Neon * Look at benchmarks results with peeling disabled * finish builtin_bswap16 backport

Summary: * Verify shrink-wrap related bugs. * Validate and release Linaro toolchain binary 2012.11 release. * Collect performance data for different branch costs. Details: * Validate and release Linaro toolchain binary 2012.11. * Test aarch64 toolchain. All the basic tests PASS except gdbserver. * Collect performance data for branch cost combination. For eembcv1, some combinations have more than 2% performance improvement on PandaBoard THUMB mode. More test results will come later. * Verify shrink-wrap related bugs (http://goo.gl/6fGg5). All pass with the new patch. Native tests are ongoing. Identify the root cause why the copy, which blocks the shrink-wrap optimization for 453.povray benchmark, is not optimized. Plans: * Finalize the aarch64 toolchain binary release plan. * Collect performance data for branch cost tuning. * Enhance shrink-wrap to optimize the copy. Best regards! -Zhenqiang
