== Progress == * GCC trunk cross-validation (CARD-647) (6/10) - recent LRA change to fix AArch64 compiler causes huge memory consumption. - this has caused my validations to crash several servers, and I had to stop them until I could restart reliably. - so far unable to restore them - trying to test LRA tentative fix separately, but results are unreliable too - tested Thomas Preud'homme patch (bswap-2.c), luckily before everything became unstable. * GCC 4.9 branch cross-validation (CARD-647) (1/10) - validation scripts needed some adaptations to handle the 4.9-branch - not running yet, until the trunk problems are solved * Neon intrinsic tests (CARD-????) (1/10) - submitted patch series containing 40 test files (total will be 136) * AArch64 libsanitizer support (TCGW-58) - qemu still needs a patch of mine which I thought had been committed since February.. - once patched, the sanitizer tests now start executing but lead to SEGV+timeout * Misc (meetings, conf-calls, ...) (2/10) == Next == * short week (Monday off, lots of external constraints) * GCC cross-validation: - hopefully fix unstability and restore the automatic validations of trunk + start those of 4.9 branch - try to actually start mail-driven robot to validate patches * Neon intrinsics tests: handle feedback * AArch64 libsanitizer support: look at why tests fail

== Week of May 26th == - Toolchain testing improvements (CARD-1378, 8/10) -- Prototyped parallelization of testing across several ARM board. Turns out that striping tests across target boards does not give much as host is the bottleneck in our setups. -- Prototyped testing using GCC's shared libraries and newly-built sysroot (instead of using system libraries on the target). -- Prototyped testing using schroots -- this appears the way to go about our toolchain testing. For each test run a schroot session is started on the board, complete with a dedicated SSH server and freshly-built sysroot. After testing is done schroot session is closed and everything is cleaned up including disk files and stray processes. - Various discussions (2/10) -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org

x86_64 libsanitizer test case bug

I've been digging through test logs, and for gcc 4.9.1 native x86_64 tests, all the libsanitizer test cases fail to link due to unresolved symbols from libpthread and libdl. Does anybody know more about this bug, or care to fix it ? :-) It still exists in gcc trunk. - rob -

Parallel cross-testing of GCC

by Maxim Kuvyrkov

Hi, I have tried out a prototype of using binfmt_misc, and it does not appear to be a worthwhile solution at this point. Bottom line: with a nice fast multi-core x86 server and a pool of ARM boards we can test GCC in ~20min. Testing setup: - Core i3 2-core host - Chromebook 2-core target, SSD disk - WiFi network - GCC mainline built from sources with same flags both natively and cross: C, C++, Fortran. General observations about testing ARM toolchains: - When testing natively target is busy 100%: around 50% of time is spent compiling testcases, 40-45% in dejagnu/expect, 5-10% on actual test execution. Target is the bottleneck. -- 21633.22user 4400.13system 4:13:11elapsed - With testing cross using standard rsh_prog=ssh, rcp_prog=scp, target is busy 40% of the time: 30% on ssh, 10% on actual test execution. Host is the bottleneck. -- - When testing cross (using method below) target is busy only 15-20% of the time: 10% on ssh and 10% on actual test execution. Host is the bottleneck. -- 9490.16user 2882.54system 1:10:57elapsed I've got a prototype implementation of parallelized cross-testing of GCC that I'm happy with using rsh_prog and rcp_prog dejagnu wrappers: General observations on dejagnu cross-testing process: - All communication with the target is done by Dejagnu via rsh_prog and rcp_prog hooks. These are normally defined to ssh and scp respectively. - Dejagnu copies every testcase to /tmp/ on the target with scp. - Dejagnu executes every testcase via ssh off target's /tmp/. In total there is 1 scp and 3 ssh invocations per testcase. The idea of below scripts is to assume shared filesystem between host and a pool of target boards, and skip copying executables to target's local filesystem. Since there is no longer local state (local state == contents of /tmp) on the target boards, testcases can be executed on any of the boards in the pool. This happens transparently to dejagnu: dejagnu issues "rsh_prog chromebook-pool ./test" and then rsh_prog converts this to "ssh chromebook-XX ./test", where XX chosen at random. Script implementation notes: - For some unholy reason there is no way of correctly parse command line from dejagnu and give it to bash. The reason why myssh script ssh'es onto host itself is because that's the only way I've found to reliably execute the command. Hey! The command line was intended for ssh anyway! - Myssh script translates hostname of foobar-pool-01-03-08 into foobar01, foobar03 or foobar08 chosen at random. If there is no "-pool-" mentioned in hostname, then it is used verbatim. -- Maxim Kuvyrkov www.linaro.org

ld can't deal with LTO bytecode in static libraries

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Hi, I've run into some compile errors after updating to 4.9 -- usually getting undefined references to symbols defined in helper static libraries. It turns out this is triggered by gcc -flto now creating slim object files by default (-ffat-lto-objects "fixes" it) - but I think it is actually an ld bug that should be fixed at some point. ld (regardless of whether I use -fuse-linker-plugin, -fuse-ld=gold or -fuse-ld=bfd) doesn't seem to see LTO bytecode in object files that are inside an ar wrapper. It deals with the library just fine if I use "ar x" to extract its object files and link to them individually as opposed to the .a file. I've attached a small test case to demonstrate ("make broken" shows the error, "make works" shows the workaround). Is there any reason why ld should behave the way it does, or is this a bug that needs fixing? ttyl bero
