== Activity == - AFDS and AFDS review comments LLD: - Have nudged the ARM exceptions story in lld along a bit, I've had one patch accepted, but not the most important one. - Updated the Linaro TCWG jira issues post Connect - Worked on static linking and ifunc support. I have managed to get ifunc working for dynamic linking and static linking working for an old ARM only sysroot. The latest Linaro linux-gnueabi-hf sadly segfaults in __libc_init_first -> __ctype_init, with what looks like stack corruption of the return address. I at least have a good idea of what needs to be done to make static linking work. Other LLVM: Some upstream review comments for ILP32 support and others. == Plans == On holiday all week. Will attempt to continue upstreaming lld work that I already have patches and tests for.

== Activity == Exceptions. Another attempt at ARM exceptions support. I did get some more fine grained comments back which have been addressed, but no approval to commit yet. Some follow up over whether ld -r support for merging output sections is necessary, answer seems to be yes as kernel modules depend on it. I've volunteered to post a simpler patch without ld -r support as this is a very niche use case. Not had any feedback yet so will just post it next week. TLS Fixed TLS support in lld so that it does not attempt to follow lld's generic relaxation model, which can't be implemented in ARM. Still some work to do for static linking. == Next Week == Out of office at Linaro Connect in Las Vegas == Planned Absences == Holiday 10th to 14th October

AArch64: Disabling conditional execution

by Fernando Endo

Hello, I'm using Linaro GCC 4.9-2015.01-3 for AArch64, and trying to disable the generation of guarded instructions. More specifically, I'd like not to see instructions such as 'cset', 'csinc', 'ccmp', 'fccmp', etc. So far, it seemed that the flag '-fno-if-conversion2' could do the job, but I still see those instructions in my disassembled program functions (I guess that it may not be possible to remove them from standard libs). My command line: aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -static -march=armv8-a -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-if-conversion2 I also tried '-fno-if-conversion' and both '-fno-if-conversion -fno-if-conversion2' without success.

Discussed with the possible GDB changes to handle variable length registers, such as SVE. Agreed to move ptrace-test from sourceware to kernel tree. Sync on 7.12 release.

Heads-up: big.LITTLE and cache flushing

by Riku Voipio

Hi, As painfully found out by mono team, if big/little cores have different cache line sizes, __clear_cache doesn't work as expected. This affects any home-grown cache flushing mechanism as well. http://www.mono-project.com/news/2016/09/12/arm64-icache/ protip, if you suspect your application issues might related to big.LITTLE, use taskset(1) or hwloc-bind(1) to tie the process to either big or little cluster (or just a single core).

Question on "Using deprecated CP15 barrier instruction".

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, For reference, the following questions refer to a Linux 3.10 aarch64 kernel (ARMv8, ARMv8-A) compiled with Linaro 5.3-2016.02 (5.3-2016.02 arm64 CROSS_COMPILE and 5.3-2016.02 armhf CROSS32CC cross compiled from x86_64). This Linux kernel compile requires the full 64-bit tool chain plus the 32-bit gcc. There is a Linux kernel file "arch/arm64/kernel/deprecated.c". Within that file is a block of code which is apparently designed to detect some sort of older obsolete 32-bit code. Specifically, the warning message is "Using deprecated CP15 barrier instruction". I wouldn't think that this kernel, when compiled with such a recent compiler, would ever introduce CP15 barrier code (from what I see barrier code was deprecated in ARMv7 and used to deal with obsolete ARMv6 code). Is there any chance the 32-bit 5.3 gcc would still generate CP15 barrier code? Although this kernel and "most" modules are built with Linaro 5.3 I'd like to be able to narrow the cause down to existing binary modules not compiled with the 5.3 Linaro. If I can guarantee 5.3 32-bit gcc does not produce the CP15 barrier instruction then I'll know it is in pre-built binary modules. Can anyone tell me if C code compiled from Linaro version 5.3 32-bit gcc code would ever contain CP15 instructions? Thanks!

RE: Question on "Using deprecated CP15 barrier instruction".

by stimits＠comcast.net

What I need to confirm is if the Linaro 5.3 would generate such code from a normal block of C without any kind of asm in it? Detecting the code is part of the kernel...I need to figure out where it was generated. Is Linaro 5.3 going to generate such code without explicitly writing it in? ----- Original Message -----From: Andrew Pinski <Andrew.Pinski(a)cavium.com>To: stimits(a)comcast.net, Linaro Toolchain Mailman List <linaro-toolchain(a)lists.linaro.org>Sent: Mon, 05 Sep 2016 17:21:24 -0000 (UTC)Subject: RE: Question on "Using deprecated CP15 barrier instruction". Simple answer is yes. There are a lot of assembly out there and someone (seen it in the past) could have used this barrier method in their code and not really thought it was going to change in the future.

gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07...Big Endian and Little Endian aarch64 Options

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, I was able to get linaro-6.1-2016.07 compiled for both aarch64 and armhf. I also have some prebuilt 5.2 and 5.3 binaries, plus a few other 4.8 and 4.9 compilers from quite some time back. I've used these for building a Linux 3.10 kernel, and the newer linaro-6.1 fails during kernel compile. The issue seems to be the assembler does not recognize option "-EL" (all of the ARM systems I'm building for are little endian, I've not seen a big endian system). I am wondering if support for options "-EB" and "-EL" are part of the configure options? There is the generic "help" listing the "--enable-FEATURE=ARG", but I do not see a comprehensive list of features this might deal with. I'm hoping that big/little endian for armhf and aarch64 can be enabled with this. Otherwise I'm hoping to find more information on what I might need to do or change for compatibility with the "-EL" option. For reference, I have similar templates for 32-bit and 64-bit configuration (different triplet and build root). Here's one: export SRC='/home/build/linaro/gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07'export BUILD='/home/build/linaro/32bit'export TRIPLET=arm-linux-gnueabihfexport CLONE=/usr/local/sysroot/${TRIPLET}export VENDOR_ID=gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07export LINUX_ARCH=armhf cd $BUILD${SRC}/configure --prefix=/usr/local/${TRIPLET}/${VENDOR_ID} --target=${TRIPLET} \ --with-build-sysroot=${CLONE} \ --enable-languages=c \ --with-sysroot=/ Thanks!

gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07 Sysroot/Host Requirements Question

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, In a previous thread some sysroot issues were resolved, and I am able to build cross-compilers under gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07 for languages c, c++, and objc. My sysroot consisted of a loopback mounted dd copy of an Ubuntu 14.04 file system for aarch64. That particular file system runs on a quad core Cortex-A57, and is fully capable of compiling many different types of software (the file system is set up for development). The successful configuration was like this (configuration and compile was from an independent directory not in the source tree): export SRC='/home/build/linaro/gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07'export TRIPLET=aarch64-linux-gnuexport CLONE=/usr/local/sysroot/${TRIPLET}export VENDOR_ID=gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07export LINUX_ARCH=arm64 ${SRC}/configure --prefix=/usr/local/${TRIPLET}/${VENDOR_ID} --target=${TRIPLET} \ --with-build-sysroot=${CLONE} \ --enable-languages=c,c++,objc \ --with-sysroot=/ Now I also need armhf (I must support both 32-bit and 64-bit), so I'm trying to figure out host and sysroot differences (I have been unable to get armhf to compile). The configuration is basically this variation of the above, plus some sysroot additional support: export SRC='/home/build/linaro/gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07'export TRIPLET=arm-linux-gnueabihfexport CLONE=/usr/local/sysroot/${TRIPLET}export VENDOR_ID=gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07export LINUX_ARCH=armhf ${SRC}/configure --prefix=/usr/local/${TRIPLET}/${VENDOR_ID} --target=${TRIPLET} \ --with-build-sysroot=${CLONE} \ --enable-languages=c \ --with-sysroot=/ Note that for testing purposes I tried to compile only languages of c, c++, and objc, each one at a time instead of together. Errors do not differ in any way for picking of any of those three languages. I also have a complete Ubuntu 14.04 file system for armhf which is fully equipped for building of each of those languages, and is perhaps in some ways more complete as a development environment than the previously successful aarch64 file system (the sysroot runs on a quad core Cortex-A15). I tried this purely armhf file system as the sysroot to rule out incorrect multiarch support, and the error did not change. I am guessing the issue is not the sysroot, but I wanted to verify this since there may be other requirements for armhf instead of aarch64. I am at a loss though to explain why the host would be at issue since it appears all prerequisites were met and I had success with aarch64. The details of the error seem to always occur in libcc1 build. I see this in the libcc1/config.log as the failure regardless of sysroot or supported language, and only while building for armhf: configure:14569: checking for -rdynamicconfigure:14579: result: yesconfigure:14589: checking for library containing dlopenconfigure:14620: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c >&5/tmp/ccyhVkpp.o: In function `main':/home/build/linaro/objdir/libcc1/conftest.c:38: undefined reference to `dlopen'collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusconfigure:14620: $? = 1configure: failed program was:| /* confdefs.h */| #define PACKAGE_NAME "libcc1"| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "libcc1"| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "version-unused"| #define PACKAGE_STRING "libcc1 version-unused"| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""| #define PACKAGE_URL ""| #define STDC_HEADERS 1| #define HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 1| #define HAVE_SYS_STAT_H 1| #define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1| #define HAVE_STRING_H 1| #define HAVE_MEMORY_H 1| #define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1| #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1| #define HAVE_STDINT_H 1| #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1| #define __EXTENSIONS__ 1| #define _ALL_SOURCE 1| #define _GNU_SOURCE 1| #define _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS 1| #define _TANDEM_SOURCE 1| #define HAVE_DLFCN_H 1| #define LT_OBJDIR ".libs/"| #define HAVE_DECL_BASENAME 1| /* end confdefs.h. */ Are there different host requirements when building armhf versus aarch64 which might explain why dlopen is not found? FYI, both development and other support for dlopen exists already on the system, so the failure to find dlopen is not for lack of host support (related dlopen files all seem to be present on all tested sysroots as well, both as armhf and aarch64). Is this a sysroot issue, a host issue, or a configure issue? Thanks!

stdc-predef.h failed during gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07 compile

by stimits＠comcast.net

Hi, I've been trying to build the c and c++ cross-compiler for triplet aarch64-linux-gnu (--target=aarch64-linux-gnu --enable-languages=c,c++) on snapshot for 6.1-2016.07, and cannot get past this: cc1: error: no include path in which to search for stdc-predef.h From what I can tell this may already be a known bug inherited from back in the days of Linaro 4.8. I tried various ways around this, such as trying to create an empty stdc-predef.h in various locations, but always ended up either not fixing the issue or breaking something else even sooner. Is there a simple way around this on the configure command line? If not, is there some recommended edit for this? Thanks!
