== Progress == * Patches - Committed lzma fix for cross-compilation - Split ARMv7 fixes in three patches, committed - Reviewed many ARM patches * ImageMagick benchmark - Using IM's convert to test compiler performance - LLVM seems pretty good on x86_64, par on A15 and behind on A9 when compared to gcc 4.7 - http://people.linaro.org/~rengolin/llvm/scripts/ * Profiling - Found a serious bug in LLVM when emitting profile information - mcount segfaults on prelude, luckily only on x86. :D * Phoronix - Found out that our problems with Phoronix were not unique - Might need a bit more of work to get the build scripts changed - And A bit more to get the data out of the reports == Plan == * Profile IM's convert on A9 (after finding out why it's not generating gmon.out) * Hoping to find low-hanging SLP-vectorizer fruits... fingers crossed! * Try something on Jenkins, hopefully it'll be easy to get Phoronix and ImageMagick running on it

Progress: * "aarch64 preparation" patchset now in upstream QEMU master. For clarity: this doesn't enable anything by itself, but it's an important foundation for the work being done by people including Linaro, SuSE and Virtual Open Systems, and getting it upstream is both helpful for that work and an indication of progress. * posted a new version of mach-virt patchset (with a PL011 UART) * various planning meetings/calls * put together a "testing" quality branch that integrates the "-cpu host", "mach-virt" and OVS work on KVM v8 control: git://git.linaro.org/people/pmaydell/qemu-arm.git aarch64-kvm -- PMM

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

== Progress == * Libssp support for AArch64 TCWG 23: My approach to Cross testing eglibc from host failed since it needs the build directories to be shared. Mounting the image in build system and building eglic will not help as the changes will not be reflected, in the image booted in V8 model dyanamically. The test system only issues command via ssh but does not copy binary to the model. Need to try creating NFS mount from build system into the model. * Backports Lots of back porting and merging. 201624 and 201666 can be back ported together. Merge request submitted. 201406 to linaro branch. Small test case comment change. But the test case fails in linaro 4.8, but passes in trunk. It needs other revisions to be back ported, since vectorization improvement in trunk. I tried back porting all relevant versions r199402,r200394,r200600, r201282. But still fails since interface of function get_loop has changed in trunk somewhere. For 201411 look like need to hand pick and apply changes in arm.md file. since lot of changes gone in that file and simple merge will not be good. Also it may need some other revision to backport. * TCWG-209, Looked at wiki pages, Christophe assigned to me and gave some comments about updating/deleting them. == Plan == * Post RFC patch for Libssp support for AArch64 in GCC * GCC patch for gprof accepted, need to post patch in glibc. * Continue testing the patch for Libssp support for AArch64 in GCC and glibc TCWG-23. Try NFS mouting into the model. * Backport 201411 201406 from trunk. == Issues == * LTO/PGO work stopped now since libssp support priority is more.

== Issues == * None == Progress == * Conditional compare (CCMP) - Design tens of test cases to verify the codes. - Handle CCMP in vrp pass. If the compare in CCMP can be simplified, CCMP will be converted to a copy, compare or a bit operator. - Investigating to handle CCMP in jump-thread related optimization. - Investigating bootstrap issue when expanding conditional compare to optimized RTL. . It seams that there are illegal combinations of different compares since bootstrap OK if the two compares of CCMP have the same CODE. . Current check bases on function "arm_select_dominance_cc_mode". Need narrow down the root cause. == Plan == * Continue on conditional compare. == Panned leaves == * Sept. 3-6: internal meeting.

Now Jenkins does a toolchain build of all supported architectures for each commit to GCC upstream. * Two small wildland fires this week, plus 3 motorcycle accidents. == Plan == * More work on binary releases via Cbuildv2. * Import test results into Jenkins. * Continued work on Jenkins/Cbuildv2 integration. == Issues == * Libmudflap, needs -ldl, or make check fails when linking with --as-needed (used on Ubuntu by default). * On chromebook using a raring chroot, 'make check' for mpfr has these three test cases: tasinh, tcot, and tcsc which consume all the memory and hang when run with the other infrastructure libraries via Cbuildv2. The ttan and tsinh tests segfault, and tgamma return an incorrect result. These same test cases all pass if I use Cbuildv2 to only build and test mpfr. Weird...
