Other buildbot breakages made me spend another 2, and I couldn't wait until I was back, or it would have wasted an entire week (as it has happened before). In a nutshell, I can't have holidays. Yay!

# Progress # * Holiday on Monday [2/10] * TCWG-857, [4/10]. All the multi-arch work are done (I hope) but patches can't be sent out until kernel patches are pushed in upstream. ** Collect some arguments from kernel folks to defend my change "32-bit CPSR to 64-bit PSTATE". Patch is posted out. ** Finish the patch to convert siginfo_t between 32-bit debuggee and 64-bit debugger. Done. Will post it next week. ** Get right TLS base in multi-arch debugging. Patch is done. * Happen to see we can improve GDB performance in some case by avoid sending some packets. Patch is done, but need to collect some performance data. [2/10] * Misc [1/10] ** Close some tickets, TCWG-567, TCWG-876, as they are done. * TCWG-757 [1/10], many patches review. # Plan # * Continue to upstream multi-arch patches. * Upgrade my juno board kernel to git master to test kernel patches for multi-arch debugging work properly. * Collect some GDB performance data for my patch. -- Yao

Odd Linaro GCC 4.8 2015.06 behavior with precompiled headers

by Dragan Stancevic

Hi- It seems that there is some discrepancy between Linaro GCC 4.8 2015.06 and Linaro GCC 4.8 2014.11 with regards to precompiled headers. It appears that 2015.06 doesn't even attempt to open the precompiled headers according to strace. I have been looking on gcc mailing list but have not been able to find any fixes related to precompiled headers. Does anyone have any pointers as to what should I be looking at to get to the bottom of this issue? This simple program compiles without any problems on 2014.11, but fails on 2015.06 because 2015.06 doesn't even attempt to read tst.h.gch created by "make header" dragans@tst:~$ cat Makefile PROJ=tst CC=arm-linux-gcc LD=arm-linux-ld all: header $(PROJ) header: $(PROJ)._ cp $(PROJ)._ $(PROJ).h $(CC) -x c-header -c $(PROJ).h $(PROJ): $(RM) $(PROJ).h $(CC) $(PROJ).c -o $(PROJ) clean: $(RM) $(PROJ).h.gch $(PROJ).h $(PROJ) dragans@tst:~$ cat tst._ #include <stdio.h> dragans@tst:~$ cat tst.c #include "tst.h" int main(int argc, char**argv) { char *s = "Test"; printf("%s\n", s); return 0; }

Cross compile tool chain libs not found issue

by Yendapally Reddy Dhananjaya Reddy

Hi, I compiled the Linaro cross tool chain for arm v7 SOC and using the buildroot to create the images. When I use the downloaded precompiled tool chain from linaro releases, I am not facing any issues. But with compiled tool chain, multiple packages are failing with similar to below mentioned error. I tried building cross tool chain on both redhat and Ubuntu machines. When I see the difference of gcc -v, the cross compile is with "--host=x86_64-build_unknown-linux-gnu" and the pre compiled is with "--host=i686-build_pc-linux-gnu". I tried with "crosstool-ng-linaro-1.13.1-4.9-2014.08.tar.bz2" and "crosstool-ng-linaro-1.13.1-4.9-2014.09.tar.bz2". configure:25287: checking for MD5 in -lcrypto configure:25312: /projects/broadcom-linux/dhananjay/nas/iproc/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -pipe -Os -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 conftest.c -lcrypto >&5 /projects/broadcom-linux/dhananjay/toolchain/tool9/toolchain/lib/ct-ng-linaro-1.13.1-4.9-2014.08/install/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.9.2/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: warning: libdl.so.2, needed by /projects/broadcom-linux/dhananjay/nas/iproc/buildroot/output/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/lib/libcrypto.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) -bash-4.1$ uname -a Linux lab-rtp-gw-05 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Sep 14 05:32:37 EDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Can somebody help me here.

abe - compiling cross aarch64 toolchain using local directory

by Virendra Kumar Pathak

Hi Linaro Toolchain Group, I am trying to compiling cross aarch64-linux-gnu toolchain using local directory (tar file) for gcc. I am using file:/// as mentioned in the https://wiki.linaro.org/ABE. ../abe/abe.sh --target aarch64-linux-gnu --build all --release 20150819 --tarbin gcc=file:///home/vpathak/arm/toolchain/build/snapshots/gcc-2015.11-5.tar.bz2 But I get following error: ERROR (#146): get_URL (not supported for .tar.* files.) ERROR (#533): get_source (file:///home/vpathak/arm/toolchain/build/snapshots/gcc-2015.11-5.tar.bz2 not a valid sources.conf identifier.) TRACE(#190): checkout () ERROR (#193): checkout (No URL given!) ERROR (#161): checkout_all (Failed checkout out of gcc.) Am I missing something ? How can we use a local directory (e.g. gcc source code) for building toolchain using abe ? Please help. Thanks. -- with regards, Virendra Kumar Pathak
