[TCWG-1473] Fix -fno-integrated-as and -mbig-endian (Linux Kernel Build with clang) - Needed some revision to handle linker emulation. Patch in upstream review [TCWG-1474] Fix out of range branch (CBZ) when -fimplicit-it (or -fno-integrated-as) and certain kinds of inline assembly - Committed upstream. [TCWG-1424] Code-size investigations with PGO - Marking functions for size optimisation at the earliest possible stage improves code-size for little loss in performance. The main beneficiary is that loops are not unrolled in size optimised functions and inline thresholds are lower. - LTO with instrumented profiling still sees large increase in size. Originally thought my changes weren't working with LTO but I think that something else is happening. -- Found out that the profiling information isn't being sent to the LTO code-generator (although it should be present as IR annotations from the objects. -- There is an option to pass the sample profile through to the LTO code-generator but not an instrumented profile file. -- It seems like the LTO plugin doesn't use the new pass manager unless a separate option is passed through to the code-generator. -- It seems like Thin-LTO is where most of upstream development is these days and there is a slightly different pass pipeline, and some interaction with profiling. Worth some more experiments. First draft made of incorporating YVR18 Jira discussion into Confluence https://collaborate.linaro.org/display/TCWG/JIRA+Usage+and+Best+Practices

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - code review: + Xilinx Versal SoC support - investigated problem with a "suppress this warning patch" which gcc 8 didn't like. It turns out that _Pragma() in GCC is a bit of a disaster area; fortunately we only need to suppress a warning here for clang, so we can just avoid using _Pragma() with GCC. (cf GCC bugs 85153, 69558, 82335, 66099, 55578, 69543. clang is not flawless here either: cf clang bugs 31999, 15129, 35154. The clang false-positive warning we're working around is bug 39113.) * VIRT-164 [improve Cortex-M emulation] - stack-limit emulation patches have now gone into master, so this epic can be closed out. Some v8M work will continue under VIRT-268 (notably FP emulation); bugfixing and similar small work will go under the general VIRT-65 maintainership epic. * VIRT-215 ["run microvisors", aka support AArch32 Hyp mode] - working through some of the HCR bits we don't implement, to see if any of them are the cause of the failures I see with AArch32 hypervisors. (Sadly they don't seem to be.) Sent out patches implementing HCR.{FB,DC,VI,VF,PTW} and fixing some syndrome reporting corner cases where AArch32 differs from AArch64. thanks -- PMM

Progress: [VIRT-214 # SVE System Registers ] Posted v2 patch set for eliminating redundancy between feature bits and id registers. [VIRT-249 # SVE System Mode ] Posted v2 patch set, without the system registers included. [Upstream] First 3.1 tcg-next pull request. Spent a day working on Emilo's suggestion to out-line the entire softmmu load/store operation. I've placed a shed load of small code segments within the tcg "prologue", which is within a direct call of the entire code_gen_buffer. Emilio got some performance numbers from that which look promising. Need to clean up the patch to work with 32-bit and win64. [GCC] V1 of my SUSE+ARM inspired -matomic-ool patch set posted. Includes some significant improvements to atomic operations in the aarch64 backend. Got some good feedback and am working my way through those. r~

Progress: This week was Linaro Connect (Vancouver). Recordings are online for most sessions I think; some may still be in the process of being uploaded. For other presentations see: https://connect.linaro.org/resources/yvr18/ Interesting presentations: * "My other Machine is Virtual" -- Alex's talk summarising QEMU's current tracing/debug facilities: https://connect.linaro.org/resources/yvr18/yvr18-118/ * "SBSA QEMU" -- Summary of work on an "enterprise" model in QEMU intended for use as a development platform for firmware and other lower-level code. https://connect.linaro.org/resources/yvr18/yvr18-511/ * "How to build a C++ processing tool using the clang libraries" -- Peter Smith doing a fast pass through the clang library APIs you can use for refactoring-type tools that operate on C++ source. Watch the talk to figure out if this is something you want to do at all; read the slides separately for the fine detail and links to where to find more info, if the answer is "yes"... https://connect.linaro.org/resources/yvr18/yvr18-223/ * "Diary of a drive-by coder: tips and tricks for working with upstream" -- James Bottomley talks about successes and failures in upstreaming one-off patches if you're not a member of the community. I also asked in the Q&A about what communities can do to make life easier for such contributors (answer mostly revolved around better and clearer communication about the chances of a change being accepted) https://connect.linaro.org/resources/yvr18/yvr18-503/ * "An open source developer and a lawyer walk into a bar..." -- Jilayne Lovejoy's keynote (Personal takeaway: try to reduce my use of "IANAL, but...".) https://connect.linaro.org/resources/yvr18/yvr18-200k2/ * Fujitsu's keynote on their new A64FX CPU: https://connect.linaro.org/resources/yvr18/yvr18-400k1/ * Arm Architecture Enhancements in 2018 Matt Gretton-Dann's presentation of ARM v8A 8.5 features. I was particularly encouraged to see that Arm have been able to make public the system register and ISA XML on the same day they announce the new features publicly. https://connect.linaro.org/resources/yvr18/yvr18-104/ Useful meetings: * discussion with RTH about handling CPU ID register fields vs internal QEMU "enable this feature" bits (we have a bit of an ugly mix of specifying the same thing in both places, and also overriding ID reg fields from feature bits in some cases; we'd like to achieve a bit more consistency in what we do...) * discussion with RTH/Alex on instrumentation plugin APIs. I hope we're now more or less on the same page about the general principles. * QEMU roadmap sync with Alex/RTH/Maxim: - finish v8M work - heterogenous CPU support (for Musca board emulation) - finish SVE - fill in other v8.x missing emulation support - instrumentation work Other: * Greensocs have sent out some QEMU patches to do with modelling clock trees, which also touch a bit on reset. QEMU's modelling of reset at the moment is pretty terrible, so I had a think about how we might manage to do it better. (Notably we currently only model power-on reset, and we don't have a good answer for "device A in reset wants to assert a signal that connects to device B, but there's no guarantee about what order A and B will reset in". Does anybody know of any good existing treatments of modelling device reset ?) thanks -- PMM

[ANNOUNCE] Arm Binary A-profile Toolchain Release GCC 8.2-2018.08

by Przemyslaw Wirkus

The Arm GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture ===================================================== The Arm GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 8.2-2018.08 Release is now available. Arm is pleased to announce the first Arm-built release of the pre-built GNU cross-toolchain for the A-profile cores: GCC 8.2-2018.08.

[Linaro Connect] - Wrote my presentation for the official track (on using Clang libtooling and ASTMatchers) - Started working on hackroom presentation on profile guided optimisation in LLVM. In both cases writing a presentation on something you don't know much about forces you do a lot of learning. Plans for next week: - Finish hackroom presentation. Spare time will be spent on reviews and llvm/clang bugs

Investigated yet another sanitizer related buildbot failure. This time it looks like latent problems in the compiler-rt/cfi implementation and tests provoked by the introduction of the Arm LLD bot. - cfi requires LTO so it requires a bot using LLD or a bot configured to run gold with the LTO plugin. Raised upstream PR on cfi. [Linaro Connect] Made some more progress on a clang-tool example to use for my presentation on how to build a clang tool. Learned quite a bit more about ast-matchers and the clang-ast. [LLD] Committed support for Armv5 and Armv6 in LLD. [Miscellaneous] Quite a heavy patch review week.
