Hi,
I didn't look if the files were correctly merged or not. but the .orig and .rej
files don't belong here.
It might be worth to update the merge to r189186, reverting the c++98/c++11 ABI
incompatibility in std::list.

== Progress ==
* Testing costs changes for Neon intrinsics.
* Fixed the regression I added to the Linaro 4.6 tree - committed
there. Looked at a few vagaries around testresults.
* Started looking at auto-inc-dec scheduler changes.
* 1/2 a day lost to visa application process
* Usual 1:1s .
* Upstream patch review.
== Plans ==
* Work on auto-inc-dec scheduler changes.
* Ping current neon intrinsics patches and get them in.
* Release week dry-run to be done next week - and finish creating the
release tarballs by 6th of July
* Upstream patch review.
* Collect passport on Tuesday / Wed afternoon.
== Absences ==
* 8th - 12th July - GNU Tools Cauldron.
* 17th Sept - 5th Oct - Vacation planned, yet to be approved.
We've had a few testsuite failures recently which were due to the auto
builder itself. I've started a log at:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/CBuild/FailureLog
so we can track the incident rate and see if there's a pattern.
Zhenqiang, if you see an unexpected failure could you respawn the
build and notify me?

Hi all,
Right now, it's impossible to merge from lp:gcc/4.7 to
lp:gcc-linaro/4.7. This is due to a BZR bug of some kind, so hopefully
we won't have to work around it for too much longer.
According to the nice folks at #bzr, here's how to do the same merge
manually:
bzr branch lp:gcc-linaro/4.7
cd gcc-linaro
bzr log | less
# find the last merge revision (it should be clear from the message)
# grab the *SVN* revision number
bzr log --show-ids lp:gcc/4.7 | less
# search for the *SVN* revision number
# (it should appear on the end of a "revision-id" line, not "parent")
# grab the corresponding *BZR* revision number ("revno")
bzr diff -r <bzr-revno> lp:gcc/4.7 > ../patch
patch -p0 -i ../patch
# resolve conflicts, rejected hunks, etc.
bzr add --file-ids-from lp:gcc/4.7
# if it's doing the right thing you'll get messages like:
# "adding <file> w/ file id from <file>"
# if it just says "adding file" then you got something wrong
# edit Changelog.linaro, as usual
bzr ci
bzr push lp:~.........gcc-linaro/merge-from....
After all that, a future "bzr merge" should just work (once the bug has
been fixed).
Anyway, I doubt there's anybody else needs to know this: I've just
posted it in case I get hit by a bus before next month.

The blueprints clean-up-kvm-patches and track-kvm-abi-changes include
dependencies on kernel side work which makes it hard to set a date;
however I'm hoping to get them either done or mostly done within the
next two months.
== cp15-rework ==
* patches were committed to master, blueprint complete
== a15-lpae-support ==
* worked on a set of patches to lay groundwork for this: mostly
this is extending the size of QEMU's 'target physical address'
type to 64 bits for ARM (potentially a small perf hit for the
32 bit only ARM cores; benchmarking still to be done)
* wrote patches to implement all the various pieces of LPAE,
confirmed that Linux with LPAE enabled boots, sent patches to list
* started looking into whether there are any bits of LAVA that make
sense to use for QEMU benchmarking
== other ==
* fixed a missing Makefile line that meant qemu-linaro wouldn't build
on ARM targets with KVM enabled
* reviewed a pile of outstanding patches (including SDHCI, i.MX31)
and am now caught up with the post-holiday backlog

Hello,
I tried codesourcy
arm-2012.03-57-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2, and get
below err infos.
Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `sdiv R2,R0,R1'
Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `udiv R2,R0,R1'
Does it mean this toolchain version don't support both instructions? and
which toolchain can support them?
Thanks a lot!

I've gone through and checked the 64 bit operation improvements that
Andrew has made to GCC. For everything but the Cortex-A8, GCC uses
the NEON unit for 64 bit operations and Andrew's improvements mean we
can stay on NEON for longer without having an expensive transfer back
and forth to the core registers.
The results are here:
https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/64BitOperations
Once we've fixed the shift-left-by-n pattern I'll turn this into an
Outputs[1] page.
Benchmark results have been sent to the linaro-toolchain-benchmarks list.

Hi,
OpenEmbedded-Core/meta-linaro:
* updated OE-Core cbuild to pick up a recent snapshot of meta-linaro
* verified the release candidate of the Linaro binary toolchain 12.06
* prepared meta linaro for the upcoming release of our binary toolchain
* started on a linaro-qemu recipe but didn't finish it
misc:
* boot Linaro Android using QEMU:
https://wiki.linaro.org/KenWerner/Sandbox/AndroidQEMU

== Progress ==
* Tried a number of testcases for the shuffles . Needed to add
support to the C++ frontend for the __builtin_shuffle support.
Fortunately there existed a patch - I tested it and it looked good.
Committed upstream. However the original author had some concerns
whether it would work in C++ or not but we shall see. The OP is
concerned that it might break C++11 and constexpr which need to be
looked at .
* Briefly investigated a regression with Linaro GCC 4.6 with Neon
intrinsics. It looks like my patch to allow LTO to proceed has had
some fall out . We really need some good tests in the GCC testsuite
for intrinsics.
* Looked at the Android documents and commented.
* Some upstream patch review.
== Plans ==
* Follow on the C++11 issues with the __builtin_shuffle patch if any.
* Commit the __builtin_shuffle variation of the neon intrinsics
patch into FSF 4.8. The improvements obtained are real and nice
atleast for the testcases that we could see after finishing up the
testcases.
* There is some follow-up work which should tie in nicely with costs
rework - lower-subreg ends up splitting things a bit badly in some
cases with vld4 style intrinsics and for V4SF copies. So it's better
we try to get the costs right. I suspect this might be harming us in a
few cases with auto-vectorized code as well. Especially where we
vectorize with the large vldn instructions.
* Investigate the 4.6 regression with Neon intrinsics.
* Auto-inc-dec scheduler work.
Hi,
I'm trying to build some shared libraries with the Linaro Android
toolchain.
For all of my libraries I get the following errors from the linker:
|BlaBla.cpp.o: requires unsupported dynamic reloc R_ARM_REL32; recompile with -fPIC
/home/dev/android/android_linaro_toolchain/libexec/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.7.1/real-ld: error: hidden symbol '__dso_handle' is not defined locally
|
I'm using -fPIC in the compiler's flags so I'm not sure why the linker
is complaining.
The |__dso_handle| error is supposed to have been fixed in the NDKr6. I
tried the
Linaro 4.7.1(2012.05) toolchain, the one available for download, one of
the daily
builds from Linaro of the same toolchain(the one from Friday last week)
and I also
rebuilt entirely the toolchain from source but with the same results. I
found a bug
report in the
launchpad(https://bugs.launchpad.net/igloocommunity/+bug/1000200)
which pretty much describes exactly the same problem but unfortunately
none of the
observations made there helped(I do have -fPIC in the compilation flags,
I do not
have any assembly source and I rebuilt the toolchain from source).
Does anyone have any hints on how to fix or overcome the problem?
Thanks,
Marius
== GCC ==
* Fixed vectorizer bug causing unaligned memory accesses
(LP 1010826 / GCC PR 53636); checked in to GCC mainline
and Linaro GCC 4.7. Backports to FSF 4.7 and Linaro
GCC 4.6 are under way.
* Investigated vectorizer performance regression reported
by Mans; main problem seems to be lack of use of the
vectorizer cost model by default on ARM, but other
aspects of the vectorized code could be improved as well.
* Created blueprint to tune vectorizer cost mode on ARM
and enable it by default.
* Ongoing work on reassociation pass.

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of
Linaro QEMU 2012-06.
Linaro QEMU 2012.06 is the latest release of qemu-linaro. Based off
upstream qemu, it includes a number of ARM-focused bug fixes and
enhancements.
There are no major changes with this release, though it has been updated
to the latest (1.1.0) qemu.

We talked at Connect about finishing up the cortex-strings work by
upstreaming them into Bionic, Newlib, and GLIBC. I've written up one
of our standard 'Output' pages:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/Outputs/CortexStrings
with a summary of what we did, what else exists, benchmark results,
and next steps. This can be used to justify the routines to the
different upstreams.
The Android guys are going to upstream these to Bionic. I need a
volunteer to do Newlib and GLIBC.
One surprise was that the Newlib plain C routines are very good on
strings - probably due to a good end of string detector.

* minimal sysroot contains libraries that reference the old
ld-linux.so.3 loader
* created #1011671
* otherwise works fine for oe-core+meta-linaro
* setup the build env on tcserver01
* verified the 2012.06 RC of linaro GCC 4.7 and 4.6
* 4.7 looks good
* 4.6 has ICE when building Qt -mfpu=neon
* reduced testcase available at bug #1013209
* updated meta-linaro (master) to pull in version 2012.06 of Linaro
GCC 4.6/4.7

Ken
Hello,
I am wondering if there is support for gettext in the linaro toolchain?
How can I check it if it should work or not?
I can compile and link the "setlocale()" and "bindtextdomain()" and
"textdomain()" functions, however, the translation doesn't work.
Best regards
Tom,

Yip, this is ARM's Cortex-R & M bare metal toolchain. It doesn't come
directly from Linaro but we've got a good relationship with them.
I'll ping them and see the best place to ask this question.
> The link file is attached with this mail.
I only had a quick read, but you're missing a capture for the
'.text.startup' section in the linker script. You might need
something like:
*(.text.startup)
before the one.o(.text) line or to change the *(.text) capture to
*(.text*). The startup section might need to be at a fixed address.
Please check your chip and toolchain documentation to confirm.
