ABE - bug in copy_gcc_libs_to_sysroot() while building native toolchain for aarch64

by Virendra Kumar Pathak

Hi Linaro Toolchain Group, I am building a native toolchain for aarch64 with below configurations: --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=aarch64-linux-gnu --target=aarch64-linux-gnu. In copy_gcc_libs_to_sysroot() - which copy libgcc.a to sysroot, current implementation try to find the absolute path of libgcc.a as below : libgcc="`${local_builds}/destdir/${host}/bin/${target}-gcc -print-file-name=${libgcc}` But above line will not execute (i.e. gcc -print-file-name) on x86_64 as the toolchain is native toolchain for aarch64-linux-gnu. Thus a infinite loop will be created in copy command i.e. copying directory x in x. however, when I hard coded the libgcc.a path in my machine (as below), everything went fine. libgcc="/home/vpathak/arm/toolchain/build_abe_new/builds/destdir/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/5.1.1/libgcc.a" I think this is a bug in ABE build infrastructure. Thanks. -- with regards, Virendra Kumar Pathak

* TCWG-806, aarch64 remote debugging multi-arch support. [4/10] Patches are done. Need to test them and polish them. Fix various multi-arch issues when --wrapper is used in GDBserver. Patches are pushed in to mainline. Could you describe this activity in more detail? Is the goal here to support mixed aarch32/aarch64 in the same GDB binary and detect the change at runtime? Thanks. -Duane

binutils - question on decoding decision tree for aarch64

by Virendra Kumar Pathak

Hi Linaro Toolchain Group, I am trying to learn the 'decoding decision tree' for aarch64 in binutils by trying to add a new assembly instruction 'addvp'. For example: addvp x0, x0, 9 For this, I added a entry in struct aarch64_opcode aarch64_opcode_table[] (file opcodes/aarch64-tbl.h) as below: {"addvp", 0x01000000, 0x7f000000, addsub_imm, 0, CORE, OP3 (Rd_SP, Rn_SP, AIMM), QL_R2NIL, F_SF}, ARM manual say, bit 27 & bit 28 are unallocated. Thus for addvp, I am giving opcode 01000000 (with bit 27 & 28 as 0). With this, generating object file from assembly file is successful (test.s --> test.o); but while disassembling using objdump, it say undefined instruction. >From objdump log: 81002400 .inst 0x81002400 ; undefined (but instruction was generated correct i.e. 81002400 !!!). I know since addvp is a hack instruction, it won't execute on cpu. But still disassembly should succeed. 1. Please help me in knowing what I am doing wrong here ? What else I should do to add a new instruction in binutils ? 2. I also saw some printf in opcodes/aarch64-gen.c which I guess create decoding tree (initialize_decoder_tree()). How to print them ? I made debug =1 but still print is not coming. 3. There are some auto-generated files like aarch64-asm-2.c, aarch64-dis-2.c. How to re-generate them ? Thanks. -- with regards, Virendra Kumar Pathak

Re: abe: cross native toolchain compilation for aarch64-linux-gnu

by strongq

I'm trying to build the toolchain as win32 executable on Ubuntu with ABE. I'm pretty new with ABE. I followed the FAQ https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/FAQ and Rob's post. Also checked the MakeRelease.job and slave.sh. I have all packages listed in the slave.sh installed. So I assume I have all dependencies ready for the build. Here is what I have done: Create _build subfolder beside abe CD to _build and run: ../abe/configure --with-fileserver=148.251.136.42 --with-remote-snapshots=/snapshots-ref First build this: ../abe/abe.sh --target aarch64-none-elf -build all It installed the toolchain to _build/builds/destdir/x86_64-unknown-gnu-linux. I added the bin under it to my PATH Then do 2nd round build: ../abe/abe.sh -host i686-w64-mingw32 --target aarch64-none-elf -build all However, I'm getting config error while it building libiberty: configure:5946: checking for library containing strerror Configure:5978: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. My understanding is that the linker cannot find glibc or eglibc. What have I missed? Any where I can find detail instruction like step by step to build Linaro toolchain for running on Windows host? Sincerely, Qyq
