Fosdem:
- Presented on LLD performance at LLVM devroom
https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/llvm/
- Other interesting presentations from the devroom include:
-- Compiling the Linux kernel with LLVM tools
-- Lessons in TableGen
LLVM-523 LLD should synthesise .cantunwind .ARM.exidx sections for
sections without them
- Implementation and regression tests done. Will do a bit more testing
and post upstream on Monday.
LLVM-521 Taking the address of an ifunc in LLD
- Spent some time reviewing upstream patch that should fix the
remaining LLD ifunc address equivalence problems for all Targets.
Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ reviewed RTH's patchsets for BTI and MemTag support
* VIRT-268 [QEMU support for dual-core Cortex-M Musca board]
+ Implemented a first pass at a Musca board model, which
has the PPC and MPC infrastructure, plus RAM, and ROM for
the flash; need to add at least the UARTs and do some testing
* misc
+ sorting out travel arrangements, visa, etc for Connect
+ kicked off a discussion on whether there are aspects of
QEMU's role as the userspace component of a KVM VM that
Linaro should be putting more effort/attention into

- TCWG Regression Detection job: launch LLVM 7.0.0 release on xenial
containers (as opposed to 6.0.0 on trusty)
- Release job: forced parallelism to 3 on the TK1s, to reduce some
of the swapping; also posted a patch upstream to allow us to use
ninja, so we can limit only the number of link jobs (like we do on the
buildbots)

Hi,
I found that the bare-metal toolchains for aarch64 from Linaro could not seem
to link objects to generate executable files successfully.

In addition, there was the same bug in 7.4.1-2019.02 version, but not in arm-eabi
or armeb-eabi.
Is there anyone fixing this?
Thanks,

Majority of the week spent preparing for Fosdem talk on LLD:
- Built Chrome for Arm and AArch64 to investigate link time
performance on non-X86 platforms
-- Both gold and bfd take a considerable amount of time to produce
stubs/veneers/errata fixes
-- AArch64 link time is comparable to X86
- LLD gets more usage out of multithreading than gold
- Studied Gold and BFD structure to compare to LLD
- About half of slides written.
Some minor involvement with some investigations for ClangBuiltLinux.
Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ code review:
- 'SBSA reference' model (now quite close to being in shape to go in)
- RTH's BTI patchset
- RTH's patchset adding TBI support to user-mode emulation
+ sent patches fixing the last lot of clang
-Waddress-of-packed-member warnings
+ had another look at the prototype work I did to use Sphinx
for QEMU's documentation -- updated the patchset and started
looking at how to tie it into our makefiles.
+ sent patches fixing a handful of underdecodings in our A64 decoder,
where we should have UNDEFed but did not
* VIRT-268 [QEMU support for dual-core Cortex-M Musca board]
+ sent out v1 of the patchset implementing the SSE-200 and MPS2 AN521 model
+ read through the Musca-B1 docs to confirm what we can easily
put into an initial implementation of a model

Hi Martin and Linaro-toolchain team,
We want to use 4.8.5 cross compile toolchain to build ko.
But we can't find such version on the release site[1].
Is there a 4.8.5 cross compile toolchain?

Best,
Xinliang
