arm-linux-gnueabihf kernel headers out of date?

by Christopher Covington

Hi, In building some code (CRIU) that includes linux/if_packet.h for x86_64-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf, and aarch64-linux-gnu, some discrepancies popped up relating to whether the TPACKET_V3 structures were defined. It looks like the headers shipped with the 13.08 arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain do not define them, implying kernel headers older than October 2012. The aarch64-linux-gnu toolchain on the other hand does have them defined. If this analysis is correct, can I expect the kernel headers in the 32-bit toolchain to be updated in the near future or should I really be generating and referencing my own kernel headers? Thanks, Christopher -- Employee of Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by the Linux Foundation.

The two Linaro branches most people are interested in are now 'linaro-4.7-branch' (updated every 30 minutes from launchpad), and 'linaro-4.8-branch' updated every 10 minutes from subversion. * Tweaked Cbuildv2 & Jenkins to work with GIT repositories and branches as well as source tarballs. * Jenkins now "bootstraps" a cross compiler by building the native GCC, and then using that to compile the cross GCC. * Got aarch64-none-elf building with newlib via Cbuildv2. * Source and binary tarball release support in Cbuildv2 now works. I've had to change the naming convention to handle daily automated builds, and added the commit ID of HEAD for git based builds. * Almost got Canadian crosses building via Cbuildv2. * Continued work on Jenkins/Cbuildv2 integration. * Cbuildv2 now works on Fedora as well as Ubuntu. * Survived major 100+ year flood. Got to watch a dam overflow, kindof cool, all the roads in and out of this area have been closed for days, most of the bridges are gone. Been busy all weekend evacuating people, car accidents, normal disaster area stuff. I worked Katrina relief, never thought I'd see a flood in the mountains. == Plan == * Continuing with Jenkins/Cbuildv2/Git integration. * Get testing results from Jenkins builds imported via Junit conversion. * Compare automated tarballs with the current release tarballs. * Get Jenkins to upload binary & source tarballs to snapshots.linaro.org. * Add support for using specific commit IDs with Git and Cbuildv2. * Finish getting Canadian Cross builds working in Cbuildv2. * Odroids should arrive (when the roads open...) Monday, install Ubuntu and do some tests to see if it's a good platform. == Issues == * Flooding...

help testing/upstreaming: [PATCH] libatomic is now supported on AArch64

by Michael Hudson-Doyle

--- Hi all, The reason for my most recent question on the list was that I was investigating if gccgo targeting aarch64 would work. It turns out that it's really close (to building and working for trivial programs, at least): it depends on libatomic which explicitly does not support AArch64, but when you try to build it, it appears to work fine. Hence this patch. Would it be possible for someone to: a) test this for me, or b) explain to me how to test it myself, and/or c) send this upstream, or d) offer advice on how to get it upstream myself? I'd sort of prefer the "explain to me" versions as I also want to run the gccgo/libgo tests :) If someone knows why libatomic unsupports aarch64, that'd be even better (maybe it's just that the sync intrinsics it uses weren't supported by gcc on aarch64 at the time?). Cheers, mwh libatomic/configure.tgt | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/libatomic/configure.tgt b/libatomic/configure.tgt index b9e5d6c..7eaab38 100644 --- a/libatomic/configure.tgt +++ b/libatomic/configure.tgt @@ -95,11 +95,6 @@ fi # Other system configury case "${target}" in - aarch64*) - # This is currently not supported in AArch64. - UNSUPPORTED=1 - ;; - arm*-*-linux*) # OS support for atomic primitives. config_path="${config_path} linux/arm posix" -- 1.8.1.2

running the tests after building a cross-gcc

by Michael Hudson-Doyle

Hi, Thanks to the advice from this list I've managed to build GCC targeting aarch64 (thanks!). Is there some way I can now run the tests in a Foundation model? I don't really know how this would work -- I guess using aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc etc to build binaries, scp them onto the model, run them and parse the output. Is this the sort of thing that people do? Cheers, mwh

Two Pandas

by Renato Golin

Hi folks, Since we won't be using Pandas for buildbots any more, I decided to put them in the lab for general use. This is not LAVA or CBuild managed, and the purpose is to test, and possibly benchmark, small applications, build systems, native compilation, generated code, etc, in real hardware. For this purpose, the Pandas are great, so there you have it. There is no reservation mechanisms, but the etiquette is to "who" and "top", and if you're the only active user, go for it. Multiple users can use a single board if only testing, compiling, running code, but if someone is benchmarking, would be polite to use the other board. They're sporting a Linaro 13.03 release with kernel 3.5.0. If you need/want access to them, just let me know. cheers, --renato
