Hi Ana, I don't know anything about the POC myself, but I'm forwarding this so our QEMU folks can answer. Cheers, Diana ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ana Pazos <apazos(a)quicinc.com> Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2020 at 19:08 Subject: about QEMU support for SVE2 POC To: diana.picus(a)linaro.org <diana.picus(a)linaro.org> Cc: Ana Pazos <apazos(a)quicinc.com> Hello Diana, We at Qualcomm are trying to find out the POC for QEMU support for SVE2. We have been using QEMU with SVE support, and need to find out when SVE2 support will be added to QEMU. I assume Linaro is involved in this task. Do you know the POC? Thanks for the help! Ana.

Morello: - Implemented INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS in LLD for the Morello toolchain, now in review. Took most of spare engineering time this week. Will attempt to upstream once committed in Morello - Fixed pr44451 upstream, it was already fixed on Morello toolchain. LLD: - Made an attempt to fix the LLD linux kernel allyesconfig + cortex-a53 erratum problem. Was not successful as kernel linker script is just about as awkward as possible for this problem. I have a good idea of what to try next. Will aim to fix early next week. - Quite a few upstream reviews, some pending from last year.

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 10 Jan

by Peter Maydell

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - caught up on the backlog of email that accumulated over the Christmas break - investigated an intermittent failure of a test case on our BSD hosts which had reached a failure rate that was seriously impeding the flow of pull requests. Tracked it down to glib's g_source_ref/unref not being thread-safe unless the GSource is attached to a GMainContext; QEMU gets this right for its own use but a set of mock functions used for a few testcases were not doing so, resulting in occasional races where the GSource would get destroyed while it was still in use. - code review: + Beata's "inject DABT for load/store insns KVM couldn't emulate" patch + a minor cubieboard cleanup patchset + i.MX RNGC device emulation patch - annual review season, some time spent on that thanks -- PMM

clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost build failure

by John McCall

There’s been an ongoing failure on the clang-cmake-armv8-selfhost builder for the last day or so; see e.g.: http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost/builds/2827/ This list is recorded as the contact information for that builder. It is apparently crashing in a tblgen backend that I just added: ``` Stack dump: 0. Program arguments: /home/buildslave/buildslave/clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost/stage1/bin/clang-tblgen -gen-clang-type-writer -I /home/buildslave/buildslave/clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost/llvm/clang/include -I /home/buildslave/buildslave/clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost/llvm/clang/include/clang/AST -I /home/buildslave/buildslave/clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost/llvm/llvm/include /home/buildslave/buildslave/clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost/llvm/clang/include/clang/AST/TypeProperties.td --write-if-changed -o /home/buildslave/buildslave/clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost/stage1/tools/clang/include/clang/AST/AbstractTypeWriter.inc Segmentation fault (core dumped) ``` I would like to fix this, but I have no ability to reproduce it, and the crash information in the log is quite minimal. Is there a way I can get a shell on a system that can reproduce this, or at the very least get a line number for where exactly it is crashing? John.

Morello: - Static linking patches committed to merge branch. - Dynamic linking patches up for review. - Agreed definition of what LLD for stage-1 looks like. - Discussions on what linker and ABI work is likely to be needed for stage-2. Linaro: Some LLD thunk/patch generation problems https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44071 for a gigantic build of Chromium > 260 Mb .text section on AArch64. Diagnosed problems but will need to fix next week. Some support for ClangBuiltLinux with respect to some integrated assembler compatibility with GNU as. Buildbot duty. Pretty quiet, attempted to reproduce some timeouts seen on the LNT generate cmake. 3 minutes on an lightly loaded machine, exceeding 20 minutes in some cases on the heavily loaded buildbot host. Seems to have resolved itself with the latest container update. - Some changes to BTI for the Android team. All committed upstream. -- Adding PT_GNU_PROPERTY support. -- Increasing alignment of .note.gnu.property section to 8. Holiday - On holiday from Monday 16th to 3rd January inclusive. Back in office January 6th.

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 6 Dec

by Peter Maydell

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - code review (have had a go at cutting down the backlog; down to six patchsets in my queue...): + reviewed the 'clock framework API' patchset; this is looking good, the only major question to sort out is what the right internal representation for the clock frq/period is + Paolo's series to add kernel-doc support to our Sphinx setup (which is a mashup of something I hacked together ages ago and more recent work from him) + RAS memory error support for KVM guests (mostly reviewing the easy bits and noting that others have provided code review comments on the rest) + reviewed RTH's MemTag emulation series + reviewed the bits of RTH's VHE series that Alex hadn't got to + tested an arm/acpi patchset from Huawei from March which had unfortunately fallen through the cracks. It failed 'make check' so they'll need to fix and resubmit :-( - release work: + we needed an rc4 + and it looks like we'll need an rc5 for one last important bugfix; I'm hoping we can do an rc and then actual release a few days later, though thanks -- PMM

coresight drivers access from syscall interface

by zied guermazi

hi,I started implementing GDB process record and replay with ARM CoreSight as described in the rfc published early this year. Current implementation of coresight tracing in Perf is based on the sysfs interface, by accessing /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm ... file. GDB implementation of bts and ipt is based on the syscall "sys_perf_event_open".it would be nice to use the similar mechanism for realizing similar functionalities. therefore I would like to know if linux kernel (with coresight deivers) is exposing coresight drivers through the syscall sys_perf_event_open and if this is the case how shall I configure the perf_event_attr to use it. thanks Zied Guermazi

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release GCC 7.5-2019.12

by Maxim Kuvyrkov

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 7.5-2019.12 Release is now available. *Notice*: GCC 7.1 ABI change for arm*-*-* targets, and note for aarch64*-*-* targets From GCC 7.1 release notes: On ARM targets (arm*-*-*), a bug introduced in GCC 5 that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS) has been fixed. The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. This is an ABI change. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 GCC 5 and GCC 6 releases will continue to be affected by the ABI bug, since changing ABI in these releases is not practical. A warning enabled by -Wpsabi option was added to GCC 5 and GCC 6 toolchains to diagnose codebases that might be affected by the ABI bug. Additionally, this same bug was present in AArch64 backend in development versions of GCC 7. There was no releases of GCC with this bug present in AArch64 backend, therefore the release notes does not mention this. However, be advised that any code bases built with development versions of GCC 7 need to be recompiled with released version of GCC 7 to conform to ABI.

# Progress # o Upstream GDB * ARM sim build failure with -fno-common - Sent a patch to gdb-patches. Going through rounds of reviews. * Patch reviewing and answering community questions. o GDB * GNU-644 - [GDB, AArch64] gdb.base/step-over-syscalls.exp failures - Spent some more time with this in the hopes of understanding the various failure modes. Still not clear if the kernel is doing the right thing. It may be hard to adjust things on GDB's side, but i have a couple patches solving some of the problems. o Misc * Updated personal information in the HR system. # Plan # o Upstream GDB * Get approval for the fix to -fno-common build issues with ARM sim. o GDB * GNU-644 - [GDB, AArch64] gdb.base/step-over-syscalls.exp failures - Engage with kernel folks for better understanding of signal delivery scheme. Polish current fixes and submit for review.

Help understanding "VFP magic dust" in cortex-strings memcpy

by Alexander Monakov

Hi! I've attempted to study the implementation of memcpy for 32-bit Arm cores in Glibc (which is also found in arm-optimized-routines and first appeared in Linaro's cortex-strings project), and I came across a peculiar snippet: #ifdef USE_VFP /* Magic dust alert! Force VFP on Cortex-A9. Experiments show that the FP pipeline is much better at streaming loads and stores. This is outside the critical loop. */ vmov.f32 s0, s0 #endif This seems to imply that this NOP-like instruction affects CPU state and makes the vldr/vstr instructions that follow use different datapaths that they might otherwise? Can anyone shed more light on this, please? I was able to trace history of this code back to revision 100 in cortex-strings repository, where it appeared as part of a large rewrite by Will Newton: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~linaro-toolchain-dev/cortex-strings/trunk/rev… The entire memcpy.S file in Arm optimized-routines repo can be found here: https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines/blob/master/string/arm/m… Thanks!

High stack usage due ftree-ch

by Adhemerval Zanella

Hi Arnd, I took a look on the stack usage issue in the kernel snippet you provided [1], and as you have noted the most impact indeed come from -ftree-ch optimization. It is enabled in all optimization levels besides -Os (since besides possible increasing the stack usage it also might increase code side). I am still fulling grasping what free-ch optimization does, but my understanding so far is it tries to reorganize the loop for later loop optimization phases. More specifically, what it ends up doing on the specific snippet is create extra stack variables for the internal membber access in the inner loop (which in its turns increase stack usage). This is also why adding the compiler barrier inhibits the optimization, since it prevents the ftree-ch to optimize the internal loop reorganization and it is passed as is to later optimizations phases. It is also a generic pass that affects all architecture, albeit the resulting stack will depend on later passes. With GCC 9.2.1 I see the resulting stack usage using -fstack-usage along with -O2: arm 632 aarch64 448 powerpc 912 powerpc64le 560 s390 600 s390x 632 i386 1376 x86_64 784 Also, -fconserve-stack does not really help with this pass since ftree-ch does not check the flag usage. The fconserve-stack currently only seems to effect the inliner by setting both large-stack-frame and large-stack-frame-growth to some conservative values. The straightforward change I am checking is just to disable tree-ch optimization if fconserve-stack is also enabled: diff --git a/gcc/tree-ssa-loop-ch.c b/gcc/tree-ssa-loop-ch.c index b894a7e0918..b14dd66257c 100644 --- a/gcc/tree-ssa-loop-ch.c +++ b/gcc/tree-ssa-loop-ch.c @@ -291,7 +291,8 @@ public: {} /* opt_pass methods: */ - virtual bool gate (function *) { return flag_tree_ch != 0; } + virtual bool gate (function *) { return flag_tree_ch != 0 + && flag_conserve_stack == 0; } /* Initialize and finalize loop structures, copying headers inbetween. */ virtual unsigned int execute (function *); On powerpc64le with gcc master: $ /home/azanella/gcc/gcc-git-build/gcc/xgcc -B /home/azanella/gcc/gcc-git-build/gcc -O2 ../stack_usage.c -c -fstack-usage && cat stack_usage.su ../stack_usage.c:157:6:mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats 496 static $ /home/azanella/gcc/gcc-git-build/gcc/xgcc -B /home/azanella/gcc/gcc-git-build/gcc -O2 ../stack_usage.c -c -fstack-usage -fconserve-stack && cat stack_usage.su ../stack_usage.c:157:6:mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats 176 static The reference for minimal stack usage is with -Os: $ /home/azanella/gcc/gcc-git-build/gcc/xgcc -B /home/azanella/gcc/gcc-git-build/gcc -Os ../stack_usage.c -c -fstack-usage && cat stack_usage.su ../stack_usage.c:157:6:mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats 32 static I will try to check if also enable the same test for -fgcse and -free-ter do make sense.
