Investigate "MSR FPEXC, r2" assemble fail issues. * According to Reference Manual, should use VMSR/VMRS to access FPEXC register other than MSR/MRS. * Binutils 2.23.1 or later had enhanced VMRS/VMSR to accept FPEXC register. 3. Rebase and test the shrink-wrap patches. 4. Read codes about impact of branch-cost. Plan: * Follow up the shrink-wrap and branch cost related work.

== Progress == * 64-bits ops in Neon: re-posted patch after a bit of cleanup requested by upstream. Investigated Fortran regression: confirmed unrelated to this patched, and fixed upstream. * disable-peeling: launched jobs under cbuild to perform initial benchmarking * builtin_bswap16 backport to linaro-4.7: almost OK, missing some pending validation results. * cbuild: investigated some reporting problems which were slowing down the branch review process. == Next == * handle 64-bits bitops in Neon feedback from upstream if any * finish builtin_bswap16 backport * benchmark with vectorizer cost model enabled with its default configuration == Future == Back on January 7th, after the end of the world.

If you look at upstream SVN GCC and do svn propget svn:ignore you get a long list of files that SVN is set up to ignore. And whilst there isn't a .gitignore other upstream projects which have git mirrors do put a .gitignore in place (see GDB for instance). I think having a .bzrignore which is a copy of the svn:ignore set up (and the defaults that SVN ignores but aren't on bzr's list) would be valid in the repo. Although as I said in the original thread - let's do this when we branch 4.8 and not to the historic branches.

== Progress == * gdb-linaro-7.5-2012.12 release - Updated wikis about gdb sources import from upstream and about gdb-linaro release - still some trouble with infrastructure to achieve the release * 64-bits ops in Neon: no news from upstream * disable-peeling: upstream advice is to enable & tune the vectorizer cost model first, but there seems to be an agreement that if unaligned accesses have no penalty, peeling should not be considered. Updated the vectorizer-cost-model blueprint * builtin_bswap16 backport to linaro-4.7: the i686 regression was caused by the build process. Re-spawned the jobs after fixing the remaining arm issue * cbuild: briefly looked at some scripts to better understand the whole system, while tracking a problem in the gdb validation reports == Next == * handle 64-bits bitops in Neon and disable-peeling feedback from upstream if any * finish builtin_bswap16 backport == Future == * on holidays for 2 weeks (Dec 22th-Jan 6th)

Summary: * Validate RM toolchain * Prepare Linaro Toolchain Binaries 2012.12 release. * Collect performance data for different branch cost. Details: 1. Validate RM toolchain release. 2. Collect denbench and spec2000int performance data for branch cost tuning. 3. Fix README issue (lp:1068402) by dynamically create README.txt: * The hard coded README.txt is removed. * Update build scripts to generate the README.txt, which depends on - README.texi, which is the common template for all TARGETS. - config.texi, which sets the default configuration for the TARGET. Each TARGET has a config.texi. - version.texi, created during build, includes GCC_VERSION, GDB_VERSION and TOOLCHAIN_VERSION. 4. Update Linaro GCC and GDB to 2012.12 in Linaro crosstool-ng, workaround gdb mingw32 link fail issue (due to mbsrtowcs is redefined in gdb/gnulib), finish the smoke test and spawn release builds. Plans: * Investigate how branch cost impacts on code generation. * Release Linaro Toolchain Binaries 2012.12. Best regards! -Zhenqiang

regression of x86 gcc bootstrap with Linaro sourcebase

by Robert Schiele

Hi Ulrich, Before I build the cross compiler for ARM target I do a bootstrap process of an i686 compiler on the same code base to use that one building the cross compiler to reduce the chance of seeing subtle problems late in the game. This process unveiled a x86 bootstrap regression with some of your changes on the Linaro 4.7 branch. It all boils down to the following set of changes you did: commit c904094f2421bbd5d2cab6d7fbccecf055509629 Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com> Date: Mon Jul 16 16:31:58 2012 +0200 Update to exactly reflect upstream version. commit bf378903a1b749b904ae64635182e7fc9b43e0e4 Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com> Date: Tue Jul 10 15:46:51 2012 +0200 Fix backport. commit e0c3b0a21916ffafc058cd88d82423d87ce77b50 Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com> Date: Mon Jul 9 22:52:10 2012 +0200 Fix LP 1020601.

I would assume that you then still have the bug in the compiler but it is just subtle enough not to be triggered then. Reverting your mentioned changes fixes this problem. If you need further information about my environment to reproduce the problem feel free to contact me. Greetings, Robert
