building eglibc for arm-linux-gnueabihf tools with multilib support

by Mallikarjun.Gouda＠freescale.com

Hi All, Currently linaro toolchain for arm-linux-gnueabihf built with crosstool-ng scripts uses prebuilt sysroot. I am trying to build eglibc on my own without using prebuilt sysroot. I am not able to exactly create same layout in the library layout. Linaro build layout looks: gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2014.01_linux\arm-linux-gnueabihf\libc\usr\lib --> arm-linux-gnueabi arm-linux-gnueabihf one for soft float and other for hard float fp. Can anybody please tell how we tell build system to create directories like above while building eglibc? I used following commands to build eglibc: ../src_eglibc/configure --disable-profile --without-gd --without-cvs --prefix=/usr libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes --with-headers=<some_dir>/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/usr/include --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf Make all make install install_root= <some_dir>/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/ Thank you very much for your help. //Mallikarjuna

Fw: strange behavior in GCC for use of uninitialized variables

by Pinski, Andrew

Forwarding this message to the linaro toolchain list instead. I am not the person who should be supporting the Linaro ODP project with GCC questiosn; the toolchain team inside Linaro should be instead. Thanks, Andrew Pinski ________________________________________ From: Ola Liljedahl <ola.liljedahl(a)linaro.org> Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 2:31 PM To: lng-odp(a)lists.linaro.org; Pinski, Andrew Subject: strange behavior in GCC for use of uninitialized variables Consider the following code fragment (from real life): #include <stdint.h> typedef volatile uint32_t odp_atomic_u32_t; static inline uint32_t odp_atomic_fetch_inc_u32(odp_atomic_u32_t *ptr) { return __sync_fetch_and_add(ptr, 1); } static inline void odp_spin(void) { #ifdef __SSE2__ __asm__ __volatile__ ("pause"); #else __asm__ __volatile__ ("rep; nop"); #endif } typedef struct { int count; odp_atomic_u32_t bar; } odp_barrier_t; void odp_barrier_wait(odp_barrier_t *barrier) { uint32_t count; int wasless; // wasless = barrier->bar < barrier->count; <<<lost on git add -p __atomic_thread_fence(__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST); count = odp_atomic_fetch_inc_u32(&barrier->bar); if (count == 2*barrier->count-1) { barrier->bar = 0; } else { while ((barrier->bar < barrier->count) == wasless) odp_spin(); } __atomic_thread_fence(__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST); } While fixing and cleaning up this code, the indicated line that initializes 'wasless' was dropped (because it reappears in a later patch in the patch set after the odp_atomic_fetch_inc call). To my surprise, GCC did not complain when compiling this file (using -O2 -Wall). But it does complain when compiling with -O0 -Wall. With some investigation, it seems like GCC understands that if a statement does not have any side effects so it can optimize away everything, including the usage of the uninitialized variable and thus also the corresponding warning. olli@macmini:~/hacking/gcc-wunit$ gcc -O2 -Wall -c odp_barrier.c olli@macmini:~/hacking/gcc-wunit$ gcc -O0 -Wall -c odp_barrier.c odp_barrier.c: In function ‘odp_barrier_wait’: odp_barrier.c:42:9: warning: ‘wasless’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] while ((barrier->bar < barrier->count) == wasless) ^ However the proper code seems to be generated in both cases (there is a "pause" instruction inlined or a call to odp_spin). So odp_spin() is not without side effects and is not optimized away. This contradicts my hypothesis. Consider this minimalistic example: olli@macmini:~/hacking/gcc-wunit$ cat wunit.c #include <stdlib.h> void test(void) { int wasless; int wasmore; if (wasless) (void)0; if (wasmore) abort(); } olli@macmini:~/hacking/gcc-wunit$ gcc -O0 -Wall -c wunit.c wunit.c: In function ‘test’: wunit.c:9:5: warning: ‘wasmore’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] if (wasmore) abort(); ^ olli@macmini:~/hacking/gcc-wunit$ gcc -O2 -Wall -c wunit.c wunit.c: In function ‘test’: wunit.c:9:5: warning: ‘wasmore’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] if (wasmore) abort(); ^ Here GCC warns when used with both -O0 and -O2 but only for the usage where there is a side effect. The use of 'wasless' that does not lead to any side-effects is ignored (and possibly rightly so, I can imagine this is undefined behavior, fortunately I did not attempt to run this program or my computer could have melted). It is a bit worrying to me that instances of use of initialized variables is sometimes missed by GCC. Both because of lack of diagnostics for what is most likely a bug but also because I don't understand why GCC does this and the implications of that (at least it is a known unknown now). -- Ola

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Toolchain Binaries 2013.07 released

by Zhenqiang Chen

The Linaro Toolchain and Platform Working Groups are pleased to announce the 2013.07 release of the Linaro Toolchain Binaries, a pre-built version of Linaro GCC and Linaro GDB that runs on generic Linux or Windows and targets the glibc Linaro Evaluation Build. Uses include: * Cross compiling ARM applications from your laptop * Remote debugging * Build the Linux kernel for your board What's included: * Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.07-1 * Linaro Newlib 2.0 2013.06 * Linaro Binutils 2.23 2013.06 * Linaro Eglibc 2.17-2013.07-2 * Linaro GDB 7.6 2013.05 * A statically linked gdbserver * A system root * Manuals under share/doc/ The system root contains the basic header files and libraries to link your programs against. Interesting changes include: * The sysroot is based on Linaro versions of Eglibc. About details of Linaro Eglibc, please refer https://releases.linaro.org/13.07/components/toolchain/eglibc-linaro. The Linux version is supported on Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 12.04, Debian 6.0.2, Fedora 16, openSUSE 12.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 5.7 and later, and should run on any Linux Standard Base 3.0 compatible distribution. Please see the README about running on x86_64 hosts. The Windows version is supported on Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Vista Business SP2, and Windows 7 Pro SP1. The binaries and build scripts are available from: https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/trunk/2013.07 Need help? Ask a question on https://ask.linaro.org/ Already on Launchpad? Submit a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries On IRC? See us on #linaro on Freenode. Other ways that you can contact us or get involved are listed at https://wiki.linaro.org/GettingInvolved. Know issues: * Some version information in README are incorrect. * gdb can not backtrace into libc. Notes: * To use all of the features of Linaro eglibc, the sysroot in 32-bit toolchain release is updated to Linaro eglibc, which is 2.17. If you get runtime errors about libc version, please get the sysroot from the release tarball (gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.07-1_linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/) or download from launchpad https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/support/01/+download/linaro… If you do not want to use Linaro sysroot, you'd add option to gcc to find your sysroot: --sysroot=<directory> * To run 32-bit application built from arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain in aarch64 system, you'd copy sysroot and runtime from release package to your root of aarch64 system. i,e. scp -r gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.07-1_linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/* AARCH64-SYSTEM:/ scp -r gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.07-1_runtime/* AARCH64-SYSTEM:/
