I hoped we would not need an rc4, but as usual a release-critical issue was found, so we will be having one. + code review * VIRT-268 [QEMU support for dual-core Cortex-M Musca board] + worked through some final bug fixes + sent out v1 of the FP support patchset for review thanks -- PMM

[Activity] [LLVM-542] Compiling zephyr with clang - Prepared for presentation/discussion with colleagues at Connect next week. - Made the installation process a bit more repeatable - Added support for -Oz [Intel-CET] patches to LLD (similar to BTI) - Code-owner has redesigned the patches and they look a lot better and more likely to go in. Shouldn't be too difficult to build BTI on top of. [LLVM-523] .ARM.exidx redesign - Now committed, and has stuck for at least a day without needing to be reverted. Linaro Connect - Preparations for hack room - Gave dry run of presentation for Doughnuts. Will need to cut out some material to get through in time. Next week: At Linaro Connect Then at EuroLLVM Then most likely on holiday for remainder of that week.

Cross compiling QEMU for aarch64

Re: Cross compiling QEMU for aarch64

Thanks Wookey and Richard. I was able to resolve the pkg-config issue after installing it with - apt install pkg-config-aarch64-linux-gnu I modified my configure command to below - ./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vhost-net --cross-prefix=aarch64-linux-gnu- Now I am running into dependency issue on glib-2.4 and gthread-2.0. rokhanna@rokhanna-dev ~/dev/qemu.git $ ./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vhost-net --cross-prefix=aarch64-linux-gnu- ERROR: glib-2.40 gthread-2.0 is required to compile QEMU Thanks Rohit ________________________________ From: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson(a)linaro.org> Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2019 9:31 PM To: Rohit Khanna; linaro-toolchain(a)lists.linaro.org Cc: Santosh Shukla Subject: Re: Cross compiling QEMU for aarch64 On 3/21/19 4:45 PM, Rohit Khanna wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to cross-compile QEMU for aarch64 target using the below toolchain http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2016.02/aarch6… > > > ../configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vhost-net --cross-prefix=~/Downloads/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- > > ERROR: pkg-config binary '/home/rokhanna/Downloads/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config' not found First, "--cross-prefix=aarch64-linux-gnu-". It is a prefix, not a path. You should have "$HOME/Downloads/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin" in your path in order to use that compiler. Second, pkg-config is not part of a toolchain, but part of an entire OS distribution. If your host is debian or ubuntu, they ship a version configured for aarch64 cross-compilation. Which is helpful because... Third, you're going to need a *lot* of aarch64 libraries in order to build QEMU. This is where OS support for cross-toolchains is key. r~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.

Linaro connect preparation: - Finished Linaro Connect presentation on cross compilation with clang -- Hoping to do a dry-run at Doughnuts this week assuming we can resolve a potential clash with the IPG hands-on. - Draft agenda for the hack-room produced. [LLVM-523] ARM.exidx redesign - Got approval, committed and then reverted my exceptions redesign due some build-bot failures. Found another potential problem with --emit-relocs that may be a bit more difficult to fix. [BTI] Continuing to review and make suggestions for Intel CET patch (pre-requisite for BTI due to common use of .note.gnu.property sections) Some more communication with Linux Kernel port to Arm with respect to assembler problems.

[VIRT-263 # ARMv8.1-VHE Virtual Host Extensions ] Picked up my partial patch set and started on it again. It is improved by having done the pauth/bti/mte work. But still a work in progress. [VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ] Version 3 of tcg/ppc vector instructions. Reviewed target/rx v4. Fixed thread=single expansion of casp after Alex did all the hard work tracking down the kernel failure, and writing me a test case. Looking into the size of the softmmu tlb expansion. Current thinking is to move tlb out of CPUArchState into a new struct that precedes env, so that the tlb is at small negative offsets from env, so that {mask, table} is loadable with LDP/LDRD. r~
