Hi all
I am trying to compile poky-dizzy-12.0.1(MACHINE ?= "beaglebone") using
meta-toolchain.
so i downloaded dizzy from
http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.7.
1/poky-dizzy-12.0.1.tar.bz2
meta-linaro from
https://git.linaro.org/openembedded/meta-linaro.git
I have changed bblayers.conf as below
# LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
# changes incompatibly
LCONF_VERSION = "6"
BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"

look at benchmarking results from Jenkins
# Progress #
* aarch64 gdb , TCWG-652, [6/10]
** TCWG-662: Fixed and committed (by Pedro).
** TCWG-660: Rebuild toolchain with ABE.
** TCWG-663: Root cause of fails are known, that test case sets HW
breakpoint on arbitrary address while aarch64 HW breakpoint requires
4-byte align. ARM has the similar HW breakpoint feature, need to
to check on arm target too.
* fsf gdb patch review [2/10]
** Review and approve one patch from IBM which fixes TCWG-669 too.
** Discuss on re-org for syscall catchpoint for different target/arch.
* misc [2/10]
** Meeting.
** Move to the new house.
# Issues #
* Need an ARM board with HW breakpoint support in kernel. I tried
32-bit system on my juno board via schroot, but
PTRACE_SETHBPREGS doesn't work properly.
# Plan #
* TCWG-660: Teach ABE to import systemtap and build glibc with
--enable-systemtap.
* TCWG-663: See how the tests behave on ARM if ARM board is available.
* Other cards under TCWG-652.

== Progress ==
* Validation: (2/10)
- reached a state where Jenkins "green" actually means no regression found
- submitted patches for review
- confirmed that ABE master branch produces results similar to merge branch
- stopped checking the accuracy of report.sh since a few bugzilla
had been submitted, using ST script instead
* Backports (3/10)
- reviews are getting difficult, with lots of conflicts as the 4.9
branch has diverged from trunk quite a lot
* Sanitizers (1/10)
- trying to build LLVM+run the ASAN tests on AArch32
- tried to reconfigure my Hikey 96board with a 42 VA bits enabled
kernel, but it didn't boot: I still don't have access to such a
platform
* GCC FSF trunk/4.9 monitoring
- stopped tracking random "Interrupted system call"
- builds and validations now run faster, but with more frequent such errors
* Misc (4/10)
- meetings, conf-calls, emails, ...
- Release/maintenance branches policy, respin criteria, validation matrix
== Next ==
* Backports: reviews, and improve review-tool
* Sanitizers
Hi,
I have being trying to persuade gcc to generate the ldp instruction without success. I have tried many combinations, below is an example.
--- cut here ---
#define LDP(x,y,p) { \
struct vec { long x, y; } data; \
data = *(struct vec *)p; p += 2; \
x = data.x; y = data.y; \
}
long testp(long *p) {
long x, y;
LDP(x, y, p);
return x+y;
}
--- cut here ---

$ gcc -S -O3 ldp.c

.cpu generic+fp+simd

.text

.global testp
.type testp, %function
testp:
ldr x1, [x0,8] ;; why not ldp?????
ldr x0, [x0]
add x0, x1, x0
ret
.size testp, .-testp
.ident "GCC: (GNU) 4.9.1"
What can I do do make it generate ldp?
Ed.
