Hi there. When you do a commit that fixes a bug, try adding a '--fixes lp:123456' to the bzr commit. Launchpad recognises these and automatically link the branch and merge request to the bug report. This makes it easier for the reporter to see progress. If you forget to update the bug status (such as bumping it from 'Triaged' to 'In progress') then it's obvious that it's being worked on. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+bug/942307 for an example. The status was 'Triaged' but there's an approved merge request which shows work is being done. -- Michael

[ACTIVITY] 27th February - 2nd March

by Andrew Stubbs

Merged FSF GCC 4.7 to the Linaro GCC 4.7 branch. Merged from GCC 4.6.3 release to Linaro GCC 4.6 branch. Wrote and posted a patch to load DImode immediate constant into NEON registers properly. Unfortunately, testing showed a bootstrap stage 2 vs. 3 miscompare, so there's something not quite right. However, disassembly of the binaries hasn't revealed any problems, so this failure is still a mystery. More investigation required. Wrote and posted a patch to do DImode negation in NEON. Realised that I had forgotten to do the core-register fall-back case; posted a new version. Again, there's something annoyingly subtle that prevents bootstrap. This time it looks like some sort of wrong code bug. Investigating. Wrote and posted a patch to do DImode one's complement in NEON. Richard E questioned how it was written though. The tests passed successfully, so that's a novelty this week! Looked for other NEON instructions missing support. Didn't find any ... but the machine description isn't exactly straight forward. Considered the problems with choosing whether or not to do an operation in NEON, or not. Discussed the existing state and possible solutions with Ramana and Benrd (thanks Guys). Thought about it some more. Posted a vague description of what might fix it to the linaro-toolchain list. Awaiting replies.

That sounds very much like the pre-reload that "new-ra" had at one point (http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/branches/new-regalloc-branch/gcc/pre-reload.c). The problem with pre-reload for new-ra was that it was basically reload instead of something nicer and cleaner. It also only ran just before the register allocator, which is too late for the problem you are trying to solve. > Firstly, for each pseudo-register in a function, the pass would look at > the insn constraints for each "def" and "use", and see how the registers > relate to one another. This might determine things like "if rN is in > class A, then rM must be also in class A". At SUSE I tried to do this with the webizer pass (web.c). I wrote down the ideas we implemented at the time (see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-01/msg00179.html): - web class, to replace regclass and choose register classes webs instead of pseudos. This also includes splitting webs if a register in a web really wants to be in two different classes to satisfy constraints in two different insns. Right now, as far as I understand, regclass just picks one and lets reload figure out how to fix up that mistake. - A semi-strict RTL mode. Right now there is just strict and non-strict. On the branch there is a semi-strict mode which is the same as strict RTL except that pseudo-registers are still allowed. - pre-reload (which is related to web class) to make sure as many insn constraints as possible are satisfied before the register allocator goes to work. Basically, after pre-reload the insns stream should be in semi-strict RTL form. I used the webizer to unify defs and uses. I would split a web if it needed multiple register classes (I inserted a mov, without checking that a move existed from the source to the target register class), and I put pseudos r1 and r2 in the same register class if there was an insn (set (r1) (r2)) somewhere. The selection of the register classes had a cost function, but I used rtx_cost, which is not very effective, really. But I never took this experiment very far because for x86-64 the plan didn't work as well as I had hoped. I don't remember the details, but the biggest problem I had with the experimental implementation of these ideas (apart from lots of trouble with recog for semi-strict RTL) was that there is a bit of an ordering problem between combine on the one hand, and web-based register classes. If you assign classes too early and don't allow things to change, then combine fails too often. If you assign register classes after combine, you may not get the instructions selected the way you want them to be. This was when GCC still had the old local-alloc.c and global.c allocators. Things may be different (better) with IRA and the upcoming LRA stuff. If you plan to work on this, I would suggest you discuss the plan on the GCC mailing list also, with Jeff Law and Vladimir Makarov in CC because they are working on a reload rewrite (LRA). Ciao!

[RFC] NEON vs. ARM register selection

by Andrew Stubbs

Hi All, As you know, the compiler currently has difficulties choosing between whether to do an operation in NEON or not. As I see it there are three problems: 1. Simply, is it profitable? NEON can do many DImode operations in one or two instructions where 2 to 10 normal ARM/Thumb instructions would be required (not to mention the added register pressure), but there is a cost associated with moving the inputs to NEON, and the results back. If the data can stay in NEON for more than one operation, then that's even better. If the data must be loaded from memory, and the result stored back to memory, then it's only a question of whether the register space is available, or not. Currently these decisions are made in the IRA/reload passes. 2. Values that originate in hard-registers stay there. This applies to function parameters, mostly, but also in general where the result of an operation is allocated first. If there is no instruction that can use the value there then the value is 'reloaded' to a more suitable register. If there is any alternative that avoids the move then the register allocator will use it, regardless of the relatives costs of the other alternatives. This problem is reduced where an operation and move can happen in one instruction, but NEON instructions do not do this much. We can write insns that appear to do it, but these output multiple instructions (see my recent core-SI=>NEON-DI extend patch). 3. It all happens too late. The decision whether to use NEON or not is not made until register allocation time. Naturally this means that most of the optimization passes are already completed. Part of the problem is that the operation almost certainly needs splitting (into whatever form was chosen) and this might not be straight forward, post-reload. (However, the split1 pass is already quite late, so perhaps this isn't such a big deal.) Another part of the problem is that passes such as the two lower-subreg passes make assumptions about the register width which are not accurate if the operation is to end up in NEON. There are other, lesser problems, such as it being hard to adjust the costs for different cores (A8 in particular) and the cost of generating an immediate constant can't be known until it's known what instructions will be used to generate it. These problems are not specific to NEON, of course. I believe IWMMXT suffers from the same issues. Likewise the C6X port, and also the i386 MMX to some degree. Anything that has instructions that only operate on a subset of registers, basically. So, Bernd has suggested an outline of a solution. I've quizzed him on this, added a few of my own ideas, and probably a good selection of misunderstandings, bad assumptions, and general cock ups, and come up with something I can write here for comment. I can post something to upstream later if it doesn't get totally shot down now. The basic idea is that we add a new RTL optimization pass (or two) that assesses the usage of pseudo registers, and makes recommendations about what register class each should end up in, if there's a choice. These recommendations would then be used by later passes to get a better use of NEON. I might call this the "prealloc" pass, or something. Firstly, for each pseudo-register in a function, the pass would look at the insn constraints for each "def" and "use", and see how the registers relate to one another. This might determine things like "if rN is in class A, then rM must be also in class A". E.g. if you have two registers with constraints like this: "r,w" "r,w" .. (and 'r' and 'w' do not overlap) then you know that there is a choice between one mode or another, whereas this: "r,w,r,w" "r,w,w,r" .. would impose no restrictions and we can carry on as normal. Having done that we'd end up with sets of pseudo-registers that must make a decision one way or the other, and we'd know where the operations are that would force a move from one class to the other. There's a fair amount of handwavium in there at present, because I've not worked out what to do with overlapping register classes (think VFP_LO_REGS) and all the other complications. Secondly, the pass would consider the costs of each alternative, and store a recommended register class for each pseudo-register in a table somewhere. It would also create new pseudos and insert extra move instructions at the register file boundaries where an existing register would have had split recommendations (this would solve problem 2 above). Again, there's handwavium in "consider the costs". This isn't too hard for size-optimization (assuming the "length" attributes on the insn is correct), but more difficult for speed optimization. Factors to include would be the move costs (here the A8 issues would be addresses) and the relative speeds of the operations in both alternatives. Also, the various possible transition points between the two modes might need some comparisons. Thirdly, the subsequent passes would need to be modified, as would some of the back-end bits and bobs. 1. Lower-subreg would need to detect 'word_mode' based on the recommended register class, not the global value. 2. The many split patterns in the machine description could be adjusted so that, instead of simply conditionalizing on "reload_completed", they split at split1 if that's the best option. (Maybe it would be profitable to insert a new, earlier split pass specifically for this case to take advantage of the likes of combine? I mean, ideally this decision would have been made at expand time, if it could have been?) It might be useful to *not* split too soon, in some cases, so that the register allocator can still make the final decision based on register pressure, and whatever other factors it uses. Of course, the existing late-split option would need to be retained in case the prealloc pass is disabled, in any case. 3. Various passes would have to be taught not to remove seemingly superfluous register moves where they actually move between register classes. 4. Pretty much nothing would need doing to register allocation! The extra moves should make allocation a register pressure management issue, rather than a question of making it work. DImode operations preallocated to core-registers may already have been lowered, one way or the other (by split1) so there's no decision left there, and if no lowering was necessary then that option ought to be obviously cheaper. If it insists on making contrary decisions then it can be taught to use the recommendation as a hint, perhaps? In specific problem cases it would also be possible to use instruction attributes to disable (or strongly discourage) certain alternatives based on the recommended class. 5. The existing 'onlya8'/'nota8' nonsense can be removed. 6. The register move cost can be set correctly for each core. 7. If a constant is destined for a NEON register, most likely, arm_gen_constant can use the NEON immediate rules to determine the cost. There's clearly a lot of thought that needs to go into the pseudo-register scan and decision making logic, but the whole thing doesn't look like it'll boil down to very much code in the end. There's also the question of where to put the pass? Too early and you'd need to put a second one in to reassess the much changed RTL later, and too late and lower-subreg won't be able to use it. It's possible that it might be better to treat it more like the data-flow analysis where it's not actually a stand-alone pass, but rather a tool other passes can use? That might depend how computationally expensive it is. Any thoughts anyone? Might something like this actually work? Would it be worth spending the time on this? Andrew

Cross toolchain for lucid updated

by Marcin Juszkiewicz

Linaro cross toolchain backport PPA [1] got updated to recent Ubuntu 12.04 versions: - gcc 4.5.3 - gcc 4.6.2 - binutils 2.22 - eglibc 2.15 - linux 3.2 I tested both compiler versions against few packages, U-Boot and Linux 2.6.32. Those packages may also work under Ubuntu 10.10 'maverick' and 11.04 'natty' but it was not tested. Users of Ubuntu 11.10 'oneiric' may install libmpfr1ldbl package [2] and then use 'lucid' repository to install cross compiler while I will prepare packages for their version of Ubuntu. Please report any problems with those backported packages in launchpad [3][4][5]. 1. https://launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/+archive/toolchain 2. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libmpfr1ldbl 3. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.5-armel-cross/+bugs 4. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.5-armel-cross/+bugs 5. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/armel-cross-toolchain-base/+bugs

Hi Peter, Rusty. I've fleshed out the KVM blueprints a bit more at: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/Q1.12ToDo Notable is adding validation and de-PENDING a few things. I need to know the following things before talking to Validation and Platforms about things that are in their queue: * What's the host kernel? Christoffers, or a linux-linaro-kvm based off his plus work in progress? * What's the guest kernel? * Anything special that needs to be in the host rootfs outside qemu and libvirt? Do you have a host and guest kernel .config that I can pass on to Platforms? -- Michael

[ACTIVITY] 20th - 24th February

by Andrew Stubbs

Investigated and produced and patch for bug lp936863. Continued work on 64-bit shifts. I updated my neon shifts patch twice: once to take -Os optimization into account, and once because I noticed that the CC clobbers were being retained even after they were known to be not required, and presumably this could be a bad thing. Posted a patch to improve SI->DImode sign- and zero-extends that also move values from core registers to neon registers. Wrote a patch to implement negation in neon register, albeit at the cost of a scratch register to hold the constant zero. This worked, but insisted on loading the zero from memory, despite the fact that NEON has a suitable instruction for loading zero. Attempted to get "vmov dN, #0" to work. The problem appears to be that DImode loads are handled by the VFP load pattern in vfp.md and that that doesn't seem to DTRT for integer constants. I've got as far as trying to figure out what it does do, but there's more to be done to get to the bottom of the problem. Tried to get the benchmarking going for 64-bit shifts. Unfortunately ursa1 has been experiencing outages. Michael has been trying to fix it, but so far I've not been able to run anything there. Instead, I've launched benchmark runs via Michael's normal test infrastructure. Hopefully this can replace the manual ones anyway. That would be more convenient.

Linaro binary toolchain 2012.02 release. * Create linaro license file based on embedded toolchain, add crosstool-ng and sysroot (eglibc) license. * Tests on win7, oneiric and RHEL5. 2. Try to apply the multilib patch used in embedded toolchain to linaro toolchain. * The multilib solution can not work together with the multiarch patch. (1) With both patches, "gcc -print-multi-lib" can only print one option. (2) With only multilib patch, "gcc -print-multi-lib" can print the multilib list. * Successfully build a multilib toolchain (Based on the prebuilt oneiric-sysroot with directory structure change for include and lib.) without the multiarch patch and c++ support. Plans: 1. Try crosstool-ng 1.14 to build multilib eglibc. 2. Investigate how to make multiarch and multilib work together. Planed leaves: * Mar. 1-2. Best regards! -Zhenqiang

KVM blueprints

by Michael Hope

Hi Peter, Rusty. I've written down my notes from Connect and drafted the blueprints at: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/Q1.12ToDo I've put my priories on things and sorted them by relative importance. I'll check tomorrow if there's a good match between this, the KVMEpic spec, and the older task spreadsheet. Most of these are too short. I don't know what's involved with the CP15 work. Some still have big PENDINGS. Please edit and correct. There's a lot of work there. Some is on other teams but I'm concerned. -- Michael

[ACTIVITY] Feb 20 - Feb 24

by Ulrich Weigand

== GCC == * Merged Ira's remaining vectorizer patches into Linaro GCC 4.7. * Merged Richard's sched-pressure patch (enabled by default on ARM) into Linaro GCC 4.7. Asked IBM colleagues for benchmark results on s390 and rs6000 as well. * Committed patch to enable vect_condition tests in FSF mainline, FSF 4.6, and Linaro GCC 4.7. * Verified that Linaro GCC 4.7 now contains every feature that was present in Linaro GCC 4.6. * Rebased and re-benchmarked fwprop-subreg patch. * Ongoing work on a patch to generate usat/ssat instructions where appropriate. * Worked on improving end-of-loop value computation. * Fixed mainline .init_array/.fini_array regression on certain newlib targets. * Reviewed several merge requests.
