- using ld.bfd results in tons of same errors message during LINK
chrome - "thumb2 branch out of range"
- building with "-dp" option shows the error comes for function calls,
generated from pattern call_value_symbol.

* Probably a bit more infrastructure discussions
# Issues #
* Don't have arm board to run native gdb testsuite (my pandaboard is
too slow to run native tests). Get a chromebook, but takes a lot
of time installing ubuntu on it. Network still doesn't work, don't
know how much time are still needed to fix networking issues.
# Progress #
* Linaro GDB
** TCWG-517, GDB AAarch64 record/replay. [3/10]
These bits are finally posted upstream. The review looks good.
** TCWG-805, aarch64 native debugging multi-arch support. [4/10]
*** Switch to PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET. Patches are done,
but takes much time to set up GDB native testing env, as linaro
tcwglab is still unreachable.
Install ubuntun 14.02 on chrombook. Done, but network driver
doesn't work.
** Give my input on GDB kernel awareness.
** Tweak pandaboard for native gdb testing. Done.
** AArch64 debugging on different ELs, a meeting is scheduled
in the sprint but I ask more details before that meeting.
* FSF GDB [1/10]
** Review a patch about arm abi detection for ELFOSABI_GNU. Approve it.
** Review a patch about compile feature in GDB.

Thu.
# Plan #
* TCWG-517, GDB AAarch64 record/replay.
Address review comments and push them in.

Holiday Thursday afternoon and Friday [3/10]
Benchmark automation - TCWG-360 [4/10]
* CPU2006 patches cleaned up, submitted
* A few other small fixes
Misc [3/10]
* ~1/10 getting a Juno running
=Plan=
Holiday next week, then:
Pick a direction on streaming vs listeners, write down the reasoning
Follow up (close out?) results storage and restricted targets
Write more tests, refactoring where appropriate
Investigate running benchmarks through ci.linaro.org
If time, and it looks sane, wrap a LAVA job around benchmark scripts
== Progress ==
LLDB development
-- Submitted and committed AArch64 hardware watchpoint/breakpoint
support [2/10] [TCWG-771]
-- Submitted Arm hardware watchpoint/breakpoint support [1/10] [TCWG-770]
-- Debugged arm watchpoints on Nexus 7 Android device. [2/10] [TCWG-651]
Miscellaneous [5/10]
-- Submitted AArch64 gdb record-replay patches
-- Travel to Islamabad for interview at French Embassy
-- Meetings, emails, discussions etc.
== Plan ==
LLDB development
-- Fix issues with hardware watchpoints and try to run tests on Nexus 7
-- Update and resubmit Arm hardware watchpoint patch.
== This week ==
* TCWG-619 (2/10)
- Disabling seccomp-bpf, works with LTO build for chromium for
multiple partitions (-flto-partitions={balanced, 1to1})
- disabling fPIC does not prevent the error - "branch out of range"
for single or no partition (--param lto-partitions=1 / -flto-partitions=none )
- The docs say there is option to disable PLT (-fno-plt),
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#Code-Gen-Options
but using it results in unrecognized command line option.
* PR49551 (2/10)
- Found out why r221297 prevents the ICE:
merge_decl() calls make_decl_rtl() upon condtion DECL_RTL_SET_P (olddecl),
which causes the ICE. Before r221297, in merge_decls() DECL_RTL_SET_P
(olddecl) was true which resulted in call to make_decl_rtl() causing
ICE. After r221297, DECL_RTL_SET_P (olddecl) is 0, which doesn't
result in call to make_decl_rtl() so no ICE is produced. However,
DECL_COMMON is still incorrectly set in merge_decls() because it
copies newdecl into olddecl.
- Will post upstream for review after final testing on x86 and ARM.
* Misc (6/10)
- Exams
Short week (2 days off)
== Progress ==
o Upstream GCC (3/6)
* Flags for Cortex-a53 erratum #84341 workaround:
- Backported into FSF 4.9 and 5 branches
* Some cleanup to avoid format-security warnings
* TCWG-786 (LRA and PIC): Look for potential improvements
- nothing found so far.
o Linaro GCC release (2/6)
* Reviewed FSF branch merge into 4.8 branch
* Look at differences between our actual source tarball, and
the ones that can be created by ABE.
o Misc (1/6)
* Various meetings
== Plan ==
- Continue ongoing tasks
Benchmark automation - TCWG-360 [7/10]
* Convinced benchmark scripts to run entirely within LAVA
* Did a couple of benchmark runs for Kugan
* Cleaned up my CPU2000 patches and committed to central repository
Misc [3/10]
=Plan=
Clean up, commit CPU2006 patches
Pick a direction on streaming vs listeners, write down the reasoning
Follow up (close out?) results storage and restricted targets

# Progress #
* TCWG-517, GDB AAarch64 record/replay. Ongoing. [3/10]
Takes over from Omair, complete test cases and update patches.
Rewrite the test case using gcc inline assembly.
Happen to see that AAarch64 doesn't have CPSR register but
GDB thinks it has. This should be fixed separately later.
* Think about GDB version in next linaro toolchain release. [3/10]
The next linaro release is on July/Aug and the next GDB FSF release
7.10 will be on mid of June. I prefer to picking up 7.10, but need
Ryan or Maxim to make a decision.
* Exchange emails with Peter to push GDB kernel awareness work forward,
and think about how do that in next step. [1/10]
* Misc [3/10]
** Print and photocopy documents needed for France visa application.
# Plan #
* Go to France Embassy in London on Monday.
* GDB AAarch64 record/replay test and upstream submission.

Hi,
I tried on abe 'stable' branch and with below configuration build was
successful.
../abe/configure --with-fileserver=148.251.136.42 --with-remote-snapshots=
http://148.251.136.42/snapshots-ref
../abe/abe.sh --target aarch64-linux-gnu --build all
(Additionally I had to increase the wget_timeout=100)
But on master branch, with below commands (as suggested in above mail)
following error were observed.
../abe/configure --with-fileserver=148.251.136.42
--with-remote-snapshots=/snapshots-ref
../abe/abe.sh --target aarch64-linux-gnu --build all
ERROR (#144): fetch_http (md5sums doesn't exist and you disabled updating.)
Looks like following commit is causing problem on the abe master branch.
On removing it, build successfully downloaded the packages from
148.251.136.42.
commit 5a5ab3582851d52d903846d34c79850f5d7ebda5
don't try to fetch anything is updates are disabled.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I have two questions:
(1) I have download gcc-4.9 tool chain from
http://releases.linaro.org/14.08/components/toolchain/binaries.
The kernel for the release
(http://releases.linaro.org/14.08/components/kernel/linux-linaro) is
3.16. So can we assume the kernel headers found in the tool chain
installation from the link above belongs to linux version 3.16?
(2) Also, I ubuntu wiki indicates that starting with Ubuntu 12.04 they
are using linaro gcc packages for arm64
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ToolChain). Is there an easy way to find what
linaro-release (for tool chain) will be compatible with Ubuntu 14.10
aarch64 image?
Thanks,
Aravind
