uboot data abort when optimizated with Os under Linaro toolchain 4.5 2011.03/04

by Yuping Luo

Hi, I am trying add usb gadget mass storage to uboot , and got run-time abortion on usbmsd.c with the default u-boot Os option. I use linaro 2011.03 4.5.3 version, and my trials as following: 1) During debugging , I found the abort exception in usbmsd_init_strings(). if declaring it with noinline function, like static void usbmsd_init_strings (void) __attribute__((noinline)); it works, however, next steps still failed. 2) compling uboot with O0, everyhing is ok. 3) try other toolchain. It works with codesourcery's 2011.03-41 and ubuntu 4.5 version, while failed with 2011.04 4.5 linaro version. 4) I have dumped the obj files, seeming some funcs optimized ,analysing the details is out of my knowledge, :( . please check the src and objdump files in one compressed file) toolchain: ypluo@ypluo-dt:~/work/Current/L38EVB/Main/out/prima2cb$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc --v Using built-in specs.

[ACTIVITY] 26th -28th April

by Andrew Stubbs

My MOVW patch from last week left an unused variable that killed -Werror builds, so I posted a new patch to fix it. http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg04141.html Ramana approved that in record time, so I've committed it. Tom has committed Mark Shinwell's BRANCH_COST patch upstream, so I have backported it to Linaro GCC 4.6. Maxim has committed his compound conditionals patch upstream, so I've backported that to Linaro GCC 4.6 also. Reviewed what other patches are queued for forward porting to 4.6/7, hoping that other's might have picked some of them off, and found no other progress just yet. Reduced the test case for GCC PR48783. For some reason it is retaining ".global" directives for symbols that have been optimized away, which leads to link errors in the kernel build. Tried to find out why the "discourage neon in A8" patch has caused test failures. I'm still not sure - I've asked Michael Hope to rerun the tests in case it's just random. Reposted the EABI half-precision patch with the extra bits Joseph says it needed in the version scripts. http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg04251.html Looked at the linking problem reported by Barry Song on the linaro-toolchain list. * Other Public holidays on Monday and Friday. * Future I will be attending UDS in Budapest from 8th - 14th May. I shall continue to read my email, but will not be attending any calls. ---- Upstream patched requiring review: * NEON scheduling patch http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-02/msg01431.html * ARM Thumb2 addw/subw support. http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03783.html * ARM Thumb2 Replicated constants http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03883.html * ARM EABI half-precision function names (reposted 2011-04-27). http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg04251.html

by Chung-Lin Tang

== Last week == * CoreMark ARMv6/v7 regression patch set for combine: exchanged some comments on upstream list with Jeff Law. Started some testing on powerpc64, hit some issues with native bootstrap that I don't think I completely overcome, but at least completed a 32-bit bootstrap successfully. Unfortunately hit two regressions after running tests, will work on fixing this week, and update the upstream submission. * PR48783: unused reference to __aeabi_uldivmod. Investigated and found this to be a case where during RTL expand, .global directives for the __aeabi_* runtime symbols are directly inserted after some div optab didn't have the insns, and a libfunc was to be used. However later optimizations that removed the divisions left the .global symbols dangling with no uses. We could probably just avoid adding the directives completely for the EABI functions. * PR42017: ARM LR register not used in leaf functions. This is a case where DF takes EPILOGUE_USES as part of the initial live registers at end of functionn, and liveness computations never get to kill it, since there are no function calls to clobber in a leaf function. Submitted a patch to remove LR from EPILOGUE_USES before reload, awaiting review. * LP #689887: investigated more; not much progress, but found that the bootstrap fail happens only under --with-mode=thumb (Thumb-2). Under ARM mode the native bootstrap succeeds. == This week == * Try to fix the problems with the CoreMark combine patches. * Investigate more optimizations/bugs. * Prepare for travel to Budapest on Saturday.

"BFD_ASSERT (out_attr[Tag_ABI_HardFP_use].i == 0) " assert

by Barry Song

Hi All, I found Jie has committed a patch "http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-05/msg00083.html". I am using the newest binary utils(2.21) and encounted the following ASSERT in arm_elf32.c: + if (out_attr[i].i == 0) + { + BFD_ASSERT (out_attr[Tag_ABI_HardFP_use].i == 0); My compiling options are as below, ASM_FLAGS := \ -gdwarf-2 \ -mfpu=vfp \ -mfloat-abi=softfp \ -mthumb-interwork C_FLAGS := \ $(ASM_FLAGS) \ -O3 -Wno-all \ -fno-optimize-sibling-calls \ -mlong-calls \ -ffunction-sections \ CPP_FLAGS := \ -fno-rtti \ -fno-exceptions \ LINK_FLAGS := \ --gc-sections -nostdlib \ -L ../stdlib \ -Wl,--as-needed \ -Wl,-no-enum-size-warning \ --cref \ ARFLAGS := \ rcs Can anyone give me any tip about why the assert is triggered? I have reported a bug here: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12700 But not sure whether it is a bug. -barry

__aeabi_uldivmod undefined for sound/soc/codecs/snd-soc-wm8974.ko, snd-soc-wm8940.ko and snd-soc-wm8510.ko

by Barry Song

Hi All, I am using 2011.3 4.5 linaro GCC(armv7-a vfpv3d16) to compile kernel and modules. I select to compile all codecs as modules: "config SND_SOC_ALL_CODECS tristate "Build all ASoC CODEC drivers" " as M and I2C/SPI too. Then in the kernel dir, run "make" to get both vmlinux and modules, I found snd-soc-wm8974.ko, snd-soc-wm8940.ko and snd-soc-wm8510.ko will fail due to "__aeabi_uldivmod undefined". If i comment do_div() in these codec drivers, this issue will disappear. But it is strange there are many codecs which use do_div() too, for example: sound/soc/codecs/max98088.c sound/soc/codecs/max9850.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8350.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8400.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8510.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8580.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8753.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8804.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8900.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8904.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8940.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8955.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8960.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8974.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8978.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8985.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8990.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8991.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8993.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8994.c sound/soc/codecs/wm8995.c sound/soc/codecs/wm9081.c but others can pass the compiling except those 3 modules. Is it due to a wrong optimization by gcc? Other information: 1. old tool-chains we are using can pass the compiling of the 3 modules. 2. If i built all codecs into kernel image, these 3 drivers don't report error while compiling. Thanks Barry

I agree. for this patch which will not be applied, people can just get information about how to workaround the gcc issue while they have the same problem. google can find there are other people who failed to compile wm8974 module too. eg. http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/03/30/%23ubuntu-arm.txt Andrew Stubbs, Michael Hope in Linaro's toolchain team are working hard on this gcc issue. there have been many update today: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48783

-O2 cause optimization issues while va parameters functions

by Barry Song

Hi All, As i have frequently said, we are using 2011.3 4.5 linaro gcc. For the following codes, if we compile it by -O2, it will crash with "segment fault", if we just comment " if(unifi_debug >= level) {", all will be ok. If we don't compile it by -O2, all will be ok too. #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdarg.h> #define DEBUG_BUFFER_SIZE 80 int unifi_debug = 5; void unifi_trace(void* ospriv, int level, const char *fmt, ...) { static char s[DEBUG_BUFFER_SIZE]; va_list args; unsigned int len; if(unifi_debug >= level) { va_start(args, fmt); len = vsnprintf(&(s)[0], (DEBUG_BUFFER_SIZE), fmt, args); va_end(args); if (len >= DEBUG_BUFFER_SIZE) { (s)[DEBUG_BUFFER_SIZE - 2] = '\n'; (s)[DEBUG_BUFFER_SIZE - 1] = 0; } printf("%s", s); } } int main(void) { char *prog = "/usr/sbin/unififw"; unifi_trace(NULL, 1, "start %s\n", prog); return 0; } Thanks Barry

Sessions for the summit

by Michael Hope

Hi there. A first-pass list of summit sessions is up at: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/1111Blueprints The next step is to investigate these areas and come up with a basic plan that can be discussed during the summit. I've put your names against the sessions as follows: Andrew: Broad tuning Dave: String routines everywhere Dave: QEMU topic #2 Doug: STM support Ira: Vectoriser and NEON performance Ken: 64 bit sync primitives Ken: Good backtracing Ken: End-developer tools bluesky Michael: Publish benchmarking of the toolchain Michael: Binary builds Michael: Deeper validation Peter: QEMU bluesky Ramana: Thumb-2 performance brainstorm Ramana: GCC backend rework Ulrich: GDB as a cross-debugger Ira and Dave, I know you won't be at the summit but we'll see about being able to call in. Could you all please have a read of the outline, investigate these topics, and draft up a blueprint-style list of work items to achieve it? Record any notes in the sandbox page[5] or in a child page if needed. Larger topics may warrant a specification[1]. I'd like these done by the end of next week. I'd expect to spend up to a day on the topics you already understand and more on broad topics. For reference, the see the draft TRs[2] and spreadsheet [3]. I've added some GDB topics to the spreadsheet that still need to go onto the wiki page. The outlines should touch each of these TRs in some way so let me know if I've missed anything. There's more good information on the process and style at: https://wiki.linaro.org/Process/Blueprints https://wiki.linaro.org/Process/WorkItemsHowto https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/FAQ Questions? Need more detail? Let me know. -- Michael [1] https://wiki.linaro.org/Process/SpecTemplate [2] https://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/1111/TechnicalTopics/Toolchain [3] https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ap7fWLePADFVdHkxYy1INTZmMEd4bkwxSG… [4] there is no 4...

[ACTIVITY] 18th - 21st April

by Andrew Stubbs

Merged & tested the outstanding merge requests into Linaro GCC. Spin the Linaro GCC 4.5 and 4.6 releases. Uploaded the tarballs to Michael. Submitted a patch upstream that removed some redundant code that had confused me a introduced a bug into my Thumb2 constants patch. http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03756.html This patch is now approved and committed upstream. I'll commit it internally when the rest of my ARM/Thumb constant handling changes are upstream. Worked on addressing RichardE's concerns with my Thumb2 constants patch. Tried to split it into smaller chunks, and rename the constraints. Posted the patches upstream: 1. a small patch upstream to clean up MOWV support. http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03768.html (Now approved and committed.) 2. ADDW and SUBW support. http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03783.html 3. Replicated constants for constant splitting. http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03883.html Committed upstream Dan's Vector shift test cases patch that was approved last week. Pushed the same patch to Linaro GCC 4.6. ---- Upstream patched requiring review: * NEON scheduling patch http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-02/msg01431.html * ARM EABI half-precision functions (reposted 2011-04-14) http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03210.html * ARM Thumb2 addw/subw support. http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03783.html * ARM Thumb2 Replicated constants http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg03883.html

== Last week == * PR48250, rehaul arm_legitimize_reload_address(). Richard Sandiford caught a bug of mine where I overlooked the valid index range of NEON quad-word load/stores. Quickly whipped up a fix, soon approved and committed upstream. * LP #744754, ICE in NEON struct-mode auto-inc-dec MEMs. Pushed upstream patch for a merge to Linaro 4.5. * PR46888, bit-field insert optimization patch. Resumed investigating, mailed Andrew Pinski for more information on that REG_EQUAL note issue he mentioned on gcc-patches; can't quite reproduce it myself. * CoreMark ARMv6/v7 regressions: posted a patch set to gcc-patches. Still waiting review. * Reported to Bernd and AndrewS on an issue (LP #748138) which seems to be related to the shrink-wrap patch. This ICE does not seem to be avoided by doing -fno-shrink-wrap. * A few tasks related to Linaro-Budapest event travel. == This week == * Do the merge of the new combine patches to Linaro, and test. * LP #689887 is still in progress. * Hope to experiment with a few more optimization ideas.

NEON intrinsics vs. assembly code

by Richard Sandiford

Michael mentioned that some users reported seeing better preformance from RVCT using arm_neon.h then they did when coding directly in assembler. He suggested we try the same thing for GCC. Here's an experiment using the example that Jim Huang posted to the dev list recently: https://wiki.linaro.org/RichardSandiford/Sandbox/IntrinsicsPerformance The summary is that the C version needs to borrow a trick from the assembly code in order to be competitive. If it does that, though, the C code can be faster. I think this is mostly down to scheduling, although I haven't checked in detail yet. Richard

== String and Memory routines == * Profiled denbench with perf and produced a set of stats to show which programs spent how much time in libc and how much time was spent in each routine. While some of the benchmarks are good (like aes) and spend almost no time in libc some of the others (MPEG codecs especially) seem to spend significant times in libc. * Ran all of denbench through latrace to generate sets of library calls; post processed them to extract the section between the clock() calls (and hence in the timed portion) and analysed the hot library calls. I've looked at some of the output but not all of it yet; I get output like: Memcpy stats (dst align/src align/length/number of occurrences/total size copied) memcpy: 0,0,1 , 1588520, 1588520 memcpy: 16,28,4096 , 1, 4096 memcpy: 4,20,16384 , 855, 14008320 This shows that for a bunch of tests they do an inordinate number of 1 byte memcpy's, and a few hundred larger memcpy's with an address %32 which is 4 (and destination %32 is 20) - so not aligned but at least equally misaligned. * Started writing up a report on some of the stats * Also started to try and extract the same stuff from SPEC2k6 == QEMU == * Tested Peter's QEmu release earlier in the week (On Lucid so didn't hit his natty bug) * Wrote up a couple of specs (one for TrustZone and the other for Device Tree integration)

== This week == * Iterated with upstream on some of the vectorisation patches. I think only half a patch (the ARM implementation of array_mode_supported_p) is still pending review; everything else has been approved. * Backported the vldN and vstN intrinsics to Linaro 4.5. * Finished off the microbenchmarks for libav. * One of the problems in the original libav output was that the vectoriser didn't realise that a group of N accesses really did form a group. It instead generated N separate interleave operations and took 1 vector from each. Submitted a fix for that, which is now committed upstream. Updated the libav wiki page with the new, improved output. (This actually allowed more libav loops to be vectorised, as well as improving the output from some of the existing ones. I haven't looked at the new ones. I expect this comes from interleaved stores.) * Wrote an arm_neon.h version of Android's scanline_t32cb16_neon and compared it with the original. * Started (and only started) seeing how the vectorisation stuff affects DENbench. * Backported the dwarf2out OOM fix to Linaro 4.6. == Next week == * Do something useful on DENbench. * If all goes well, commit the vectorisation work upstream and backport it to Linaro 4.5 and 4.6. ...but it's only a three day week.
