== Progress == * Vectorizer - Progressing on the global structure alias analysis (discussions, drafts, failed attempts) - Interesting Linpack results for vectorizer, investigating performance - http://www.systemcall.org/blog/2013/02/llvm-vectorizer/ - http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15247 * Buildbots - Took Chromebook out, since Pandas are fast enough - Creating LNT test-suite buildbot - http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=175081 - http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-native-arm-lnt - Still a few rounds until it works properly * Distributed Builds - Distributed compilation works somewhat on Pandas - http://www.systemcall.org/blog/2013/02/distributed-compilation-on-a-pandabo… - It's better, cheaper and easier to use Chromebooks / Arndales, though... * LAVA - Tracking LLVM git repo in git.linaro.org - Trying to build from that repo, LAVA doesn't like it... :/ * EuroLLVM - We're not sponsoring it any more, will still help organize == Plan == * Continue Global Alias Analysis, I seem to be getting close to something worth sending (and learning a lot in the process) * Make sure LNT buildbot is up and running with vectorizer (O3) * Check with Dave Piggot why git.linaro doesn't work with LAVA * Inspect why some (loop+bb) vectorized results are poor on ARM

I plan to set up and test the 2013.03 release a week or two early both so that there is a patchset ready for the Ubuntu freeze and also to avoid clashing with Connect week. * some patches to clean up QEMU's logging functions so they can be used more widely in place of ad-hoc printf * cleanup patchset to get rid of sysbus_add_memory() function * LP:1079080 -- fixed serious bug in QEMU's Thumb-mode srs insn * upstream discussion about what to do about QEMU's disassembler license-clash issues: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-02/msg02122.html * NB: I now work a 4 day week, excluding Wednesdays -- PMM

However, it also brings improvements in other benches (office-type). * looked at libasan: very little configuration seems necessary, but running a sample program under qemu leads to asan runtime complains. * internal tasks == Next == * smin-umin: run benchmarks on trunk to confirm the regression is also present. * vectorizer cost model: handle Richard's feedback. * get more codecs sample codes. * libasan: understand error messages Christophe.

hi, i am using linaro toolcahin binaries to execute simple .c file , so that it creates ARM executable output file i can run on Linaro installed on Hackberry board. this are the all steps i follwed from beginnng.. please let me know if i am missing something here.. 1. i have downloaded gcc for ubuntu from this link https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/+milestone/2012.04 2. on ubuntu, i did tar xjf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux.tar.bz2 export ARM_CROSS_TOOLS=pwd/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.04-20120426_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- export ARMCC=${ARMEL_CROSS_TOOLS}gcc & then $ARMCC hello.c it created a.out (which is simple executable file and not ARM executable) What i am doing wrong here? i am not getting how do i need to configure gcc . please revert back ASAP!

Multiarch

by Christopher Covington

Hi, It seems to me that your current toolchain releases [1] don't default to a multiarch layout. Am I looking in the right place? Do you anticipate enabling multiarch in the future? Is doing this currently blocked by limitations in tools such as crosstool-ng? 1. http://releases.linaro.org/13.01/components/toolchain/binaries Thanks, Christopher -- Employee of Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.

Summary: * Linaro toolchain binary 2013.01 release * Move to using EGLIBC 2.17 in aarch64 build Details: 1. Linaro toolchain binary. * Document on how to do release test. * Help Bero on 2013.01 release. * Investigate lp:1107659. Crosstool-ng upstream has a workaround fix. 2. Move to using EGLIBC 2.17 in aarch64 build. * Update Linux version to 3.7.0 since eglibc 2.17 configure "checking for kernel header at least 3.7.0". * Migrate local patches for eglibc 2.16 to 2.17 and update the config to 2.17 * Package build is OK. Test on simulation is ongoing. 3. Collect SPEC performance for different branch costs. * The total results wave less than 0.5%. * Three cases have 1-2% regression for smaller branch cost. Will analyze the detail impact for the three cases. Plan: * Investigate coremark performance impact for different branch costs. * Commit EGLIBC 2.17 changes Planed leaves: * Feb. 9 - 15: Chinese Spring Festival. Best Regards! -Zhenqiang
