Hi,
It looks like several bots assigned to you started failing after e6a39f00e8d0 was committed:
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/libcxx-libcxxabi-libunwind-armv8-linux-no…http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/libcxx-libcxxabi-libunwind-armv8-linuxhttp://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/libcxx-libcxxabi-libunwind-aarch64-linuxhttp://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/libcxx-libcxxabi-libunwind-aarch64-linux-…
They all fail on the test libcxx/test/libcxx/modules/stds_include.sh.cpp with the following error:
<...>/libcxx/test/libcxx/modules/stds_include.sh.cpp:28:2: fatal error: file '<...>/libcxx/include/type_traits' has been modified since the module file '<TMP>/ModuleCache/1E92AHT/std-1V9DLRO.pcm' was built
#include <vector>
^
<...>/libcxx/test/libcxx/modules/stds_include.sh.cpp:28:2: note: please rebuild precompiled header '<TMP>/ModuleCache/1E92AHT/std-1V9DLRO.pcm'
1 error generated.
Our other bots are not failing, so I very strongly suspect this is not because of the change itself, but rather some weirdness in your bot configuration. For that reason, I will *not* revert the change (that would likely not improve the situation anyway). Can you please collaborate with us to understand and fix the issue?
Thanks,
Louis
Hi,
It looks like the following bots assigned to you started failing recently:
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/libcxx-libcxxabi-libunwind-armv7-linuxhttp://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/libcxx-libcxxabi-libunwind-armv7-linux-no…
The failing tests are all filesystem tests:

FAIL: libc++::is_other.pass.cpp
FAIL: libc++::is_regular_file.pass.cpp
FAIL: libc++::is_socket.pass.cpp
Having seen some of these issues before, I strongly suspect this is due to the fact that your builder is running as root. Libc++'s filesystem tests are known to fail when run as root, because some of them need to check for failure to access some files for which there's no permission. This doesn't seem to work when run as root.
Can you work with us to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Louis

Hi,
We are having some serious problems after we upgraded from C++14 to C++17
on an Jetson TX2 ARM device. Our system tests started to behave differently
and fail.
It seems that when our application uses a library (also developed by us)
some data gets corrupted when delivered to a class constructor. For
example, the .second of and std::pair<float> appears to be the .first and
the .second is garbage. This is deterministic, but different tests are
failing depending on the combination: library C++17/C++14 <-> application
C++14/C++17.
This is on Ubuntu 18.04 and gcc version 7.5.0 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04).
Nothing like this happens on Intel.
So:
ARM, C++14: OK
Intel, C++14: OK
ARM, C++17: FAIL
Intel, C++17: OK
Any ideas what could cause this? I know this is a bit vague, but this a
commercial, closed-source application so I cannot yet give any other
information.
BR,
Jussi Lind

I pulled up an old patchset I had from a year ago which scripts things

we're not dependent on one person for this. This took longer than I
expected as there were a bunch of things that needed fixing both in
the scripting and in bits of the codebase that the tools warned about.

spent some time going through and triaging them (lots of false positives

Howdy,
1st post on this list.
I just tried the windows binaries found on the latest-7 release site,
namely of:
gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabihf
When I go into the bin folder and enter:
.\arm-linux-gnueabihf-gdb.exe --version
It outputs nothing, just returns. The version I used prior, 7.3.1, still
works as supposed.
Notable is that from 7.3.1 to 7.5.0, the gdb.exe size grew from ~96MB to
~128MB.
I re-downloaded the whole tar again and replaced the bin folder, no change.
I can actually *build* a C++ project with those binaries, though, and
the output executable works.
Only GDB seems to be affected so far.

Good afternoon,
I would like to announce the breakthrough in extending gdb with non
intrusive instructions and functions tracing on ARM processors using
Coresight ETM traces, as described in previous mails.
the source code is made public in the git repository
https://github.com/gzied/binutils-gdb/ in the branch gdb_arm_coresight.
this implementation was compiled and tested on an STM32MP1 (ARMv7
Architecture) board running "Linux arm 5.3.10-armv7-lpae-x15" distribution
where the device tree was modified to declare CoreSight components.
to build the software
>checkout the software from the branch gdb_arm_coresight
> cd ..
>mkdir build
>cd build
> ../binutils-gdb/configure --with-arm-cs
>make
after a successful build gdb will be available in the folder build/gdb
to run the software
build the software you would like to debug with debugging info (-g flag)
>gcc -g software.c -o software
start debugging your software
>gdb software
set a breakpoint at main
(gdb) b main
(gdb) run
set a breakpoint in a location after the code you would like to trace
(gdb) b my_function
set your etm sink, sinks can be found by listing the folder
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm/sinks/. use a sink that is capable of
storing the traces on chip (etf, etb ...)
(gdb) set record btrace etm sink tmc_etf0
start recording etm traces
(gdb) record btrace etm
continue the execution of the program
(gdb) c
wait until the breakpoint is hit,
analyse and display the traces
- on assembly level
(gdb) record instruction-history
- on c level
(gdb) record function-call-history /ilc
you can increase the number of instructions displayed by using
(gdb) set record instruction-history-size size
(gdb) set record function-call-history-size size
the work is still in an early stage and needs to be improved, extended and
stabilized. your feedback and contributions are welcome
Kind Regards

VirtIO Related Work ([VIRT-366])
================================
- had a couple of HOs and internal threads to flesh out understanding
for VirtIO work
- queried VIRTIO adoption in other hypervisors Message-Id:
<87mu93vwy2.fsf(a)linaro.org> to help understanding
- need a meeting with QC/NXP to discuss their requirements and why
they need certain devices in VirtIO
- a lot of the Android focus seems to be on isolating various secure
workloads
- avoiding needing secure but un-trusted code at elevated privileges
with access to main OS
- suspect the breakdown in the card needs re-arranging

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- Got confused by QEMU aborting in the PMU code on a GICv3-only host,
which turns out to be because our error handling for "no GICv2
support" was broken. Sent a patch.
- Another push towards getting texi-to-rST conversion done:
+ Converted a few more simple texi doc files to rST
+ Took up a patchset Paolo did for more automated conversion, and
sorted out the parts it didn't deal with, to get it to a point
where it could delete almost all of the texinfo sources. Sent
a big patchset to the list for review.
- patch review:
+ Gumstix cleanup patchset
+ rth's series to honour more HCR_EL2 traps
+ add a few missing devices to integratorcp
+ get the number of implemented priority bits in GICv2 right

[VIRT-344 # ARMv8.5-MemTag, Memory Tagging Extension ]
Lots of work here.
Noticed that our TBI handling is wrong for system mode, such that the FAR_ELx
register gets the wrong contents. Noticed that SVE isn't handling TBI at all,
much less being prepared for MTE. Noticed that even AdvSIMD would not quite
produce the correct results for LD*/ST* (multiple structures).
Rearranging the actual MTE check from the ground up. Found an odd case with

Unfortunately you didn't publish your work in "PATCH" format and as
such it can't be reviewed.

I won't be in Nuremberg next week and I'm pretty sure Mike won't be
there either. Other people on the lists might be around and
interested in meeting with you. Mike and I will be attending Linaro
Connect in Budapest between the 23rd and 27th of March. The Linaro
toolchain group will also be there so it might be the perfect
opportunity to sit down for an hour or so and have a chat.

Hi Zied,
As requested before, always add the CS mailing list when interacting
with us. There is a fair amount of people on there that would surely
be interested in this work. I also CC'd the linaro-toolchain group
since some of the content below is related to what they do.

Do you think it is ok to push it in this status (feature partially achieved) ? is linaro gdb git the correct one? who is the maintainer of this part of gdb? I do not have an ARMv8 platform to test. who can support here?
I will address your questions one by one:
Q: Do you think it is ok to push it in this status (feature partially
achieved) ?
A: That depends on how advanced things are. If it is stable (i.e it
does something) and can be used as a starting point for other people
to work on, then there is probably value in publishing your work.
Q: is linaro gdb git the correct one?
A: I see from your other email that you've already published your work.
Q: who is the maintainer of this part of gdb?
A: I'm sure the GDB project has documentation and a well defined
process that would identify who you should submit your code to.
Q: I do not have an ARMv8 platform to test. who can support here?
A: No doubt you'd get a lot more interest if you were working on V8.
I suggest purchasing a dragonboard 410c - they are super cheap, well
supported and one of our CS reference platforms. I think we talked
about that before...

(I have hard-coded it currently to be able to progress)
I would assume this "set record btrace" command has an effect on the
current session only. If so I would go for the latter option.

I am very confused by this question. Yes, the path
"/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm/" is guaranteed to be unique but
it is by no means a "default source". Is is simply a directory used
by the perf tools to have more details on the CS specifics for the
running platform. Nowadays it is fair to assume there is one ETM perf
CPU, all enumerated under sysfs. Also keep in mind that processes are
being moved around by the scheduler and as such, a specific source
can't be hard coded.
> for parsing the traces I will need some configuration parameters like the content of registers ETMCR, ETMIDR, ETMCCER, ETMTRACEIDR. if my understanding of the implementation of perf is correct, it is collecting them from the sysfs files located in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm/cpu0/mgmt/. which are global for the system. my question is what will happen if two process are requesting tracing at the same time? how to differentiate between traces going to one session from the second one? is it possible to get the parameters of a given session by some kind of ioctl request to the file descriptor we get out of sys_perf_open call?
Configuration of the tracers does indeed need to be considered. At
this time we assume all the tracers in an implementation are similar,
hence using ".../cpu0/mgmt". The information gathered from there is
related to the static configuration of the tracers. Per session
dynamic configuration is collected from the perf tools command line
and communicated to the perf infrastructure for later interpretation
by the decoding code when instantiating a decoder from the openCSD
library. Since the current framework handles only N:1 source/sink
configuration, there can only be one trace session using a sink.
There is currently no way to extract trace session configuration other
than the user space perf tools mechanic.

VirtIO Related Work
===================
This is essentially a mind-map of bullet points as we work out what
concrete work items should be implemented by the TCWG Virt hackers
(most likely just me ;-)
Xen for Automotive ([LBI-24])
- Things that need doing
- support for virtio in core (i.e. not just emulated devices)
- support for virtio-iommu and sharing memory between guests
(ivshmemv2?)
- support virtio over ivshmemv2 (would native virtio be supported?)
- support for vhost over shared memory (zero copy device emulation)
- support isolating userspace emulation from hvm (vhost-user)
- Why?
- userspace emulation has performance benefits (exit-less, polling)
- growing number of virtio devices for that guests support
[LBI-24] <https://projects.linaro.org/browse/LBI-24>
Virtualizing Android ([LBI-38])
- Builds on Google's work on Cuttlefish
- New Android Device model using VirtIO (including VirtGPU) \o/!
- Used to run on QEMU, now targeting CrosVM
- Potential interest in using as a HAL layer
- Potential work items
- Better support for ARM in CrosVM
- Is QEMU of interest to members? (emulation & tooling - unlike
CrosVM)
- Is a virtualised Android HAL possible
- Where does Hafnium fit it?

Progress:
* VIRT-241 [QEMU ISA Support for A-profile]
- Looking into implementing some of the easier, smaller architecture features
- Implemented ARMv8.1-VMID16 (16-bit VMID support), which is trivial
for QEMU because it doesn't care much about VMIDs
- Working on ARMv8.1-PMU and ARMv8.4-PMU: it turns out that we already have
most of these extensions, so we just need to finish off some smaller pieces
and fix one or two bugs. Sent out a patchset implementing these.
- Found a bunch of ID-register related bugs in the process, which I have
fixes for
- Implemented the "mandatory from v8.2" ACTLR2 and HACTLR2 registers
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- code review:
- series from Laurent fixing a long-standing issue with handling of
realtime signals in our linux-user code
- imx6 model patches to fix a watchdog device bug and add the
watchdog to our imx6 boards
- final few unreviewed patches in rth's "PAN, ATS1E1, UAO" series
- respin of the json QAPI Sphinx conversion patchset; hopefully the
first half of this is now uncontroversial cleanups that can go in
while the second half gets code reviewed
