[TCWG-614] Long branch thunks: Implemented a prototype of the existing Thunk implementation using Synthetic (Linker created sections) and moved it close to the area it will need to go for Long Branch Thunk work. Worked on this exclusively all week. Plans for next week: [TCWG-614] Long branch thunks: Tidy up and refactor prototype to a point where I can post for upstream review. This won't be long-branch thunk support but it will be a significant intermediate step. Do a draft plan of Connect submission and decide how long I need.

~ Progress ~ * TCWG-984 Handle exception/error in disassembly, [4/10] Patches are posted and reviewed. Three patches to opcodes are approved and committed. V2 is done to address comments on C++ and unit tests. V2 are being tested. * Patches review, [4/10] ** Review some preparatory SVE patches from Alan. They are good to me, but I expect Joel or someone else to take a look as well. ** Linux kernel awareness debugging. Review the patch sent from linaro, but some one from IBM sends a similar patch series. These two patch sets look similar, but are different on some parts. * Conversation with Paul (openocd maintainer) on irc. [1/10] They really want me to look at some gdb+openocd issues. My Hikey will arrive soon, but they give me some explanations on why cortex-m board is better than cortex-a board in bare-metal, because of simplicity. I explained to them why Linaro focused on cortex-a devices so far. * Linaro Connect. [1/10] Register the connect, book flight and hotel. ~ Plan ~ * TCWG-984 and TCWG-333 * Carefully read Dave M's SVE user space VL control API. * Carefully read IBM's kernel debugging patches. -- Yao Qi

Progress: TCWG-985 PIE on ARM broken - Now fixed TCWG-911 Eglibc requires a .ARM.attributes section for dlopen - Worked around this with a simple hack to retain the first build attribute section seen. This should suffice for the majority of use-cases on a host platform using the default compiler. More work is needed later. Now upstreamed. TCWG-919 Thunks to undefined symbols - In upstream review, as expected got some push back, I had hoped to have resolved this on Thursday and committed today, but no response last night. PR31332 X86 pic plt sequences broken - Worked out a fix, but haven't sent upstream due to needing to spend quite a bit of time writing tests. Other: About 3/4 way of writing up AArch64 Ifunc for possible inclusion in some public facing documentation. Got a new blank machine from IT with permission to install linux myself. Have now built myself a 16.04 machine and got my environment set up. Planned absences: - on holiday for two weeks, back on Tuesday 3rd December Next year: - Top priority is long range thunks in lld, followed by an ARM lld build bot.

Progress: TCWG-829 Ifunc support - Refactored implementation using synthetic sections upstreamed. Found out that x86 ifunc was broken and probably hadn't ever worked so I fixed that while I was there. PR31332 x86 pic plt sequences broken - Found out that x86 pic and pie is broken in lld, the implementation assumes that .got is immediately followed by .got.plt with no gap. As lld makes no such guarantees it is easy to break with a trivial example. Raised PR31332 after investigating the root cause. Spent quite a bit of time on this, even though it is x86 specific, I wanted to make sure I hadn't broken it. Fosdem-2017 - Submitted a llvm-devroom talk on lld to Fosdem (post deadline, but probably still up for consideration) Plans for this week: TCWG-985 PIE on ARM broken - I have a simple fix that should be simple to upstream TCWG-919 Thunks to undefined symbols - I have a downstream patch, but there is risk I'll be asked to refactor TCWG-911 Eglibc requires a .ARM.attributes section for dlopen - There is a trivial hack to make this work; just use the first ARM attributes section and throw away the rest. A proper solution to support ARM attributes merging will take some time. PR31332 x86 pic plt sequences broken - I think I can fix this fairly cheaply which while not directly relevant to ARM, it does give me another easily accessible target to test on my desk top and has some community benefits. Ifuncs - LLD doesn't support taking the address of ifuncs for any architecture. I don't think that this is common practice, but it is a latent problem that it might be good to fix now when ifunc is in my head. Planned holidays: 19th December till end of the year, back on Tuesday 3rd January

-- Progress -- TCWG-829 IFunc support I have a downstream implementation of ifunc using synthetic sections that handles x86_64, ARM and AArch64. I think it may be a bit too complex to upstream in its current form but I think it is illustrative enough to post upstream for comment. TCWG-828 Static TLS support Implemented using new GOT structure and successfully upstreamed. Took up an opportunity to get involved with progressing some AArch64 documentation back at ARM. -- Plans -- Will post current state of TCWG-829 (ifunc) for feedback on whether the design is right. - Write more tests for TCWG-829. - Work on TCWG-911 eglibc insists on .ARM.attributes section for dlopen to work and TCWG-919 Thunks to undefined symbols for shared libraries that call back to the application. - Spend some time reviewing and updating AArch64 documents back at ARM.

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release GCC 6.2-2016.11

by Ryan Arnold

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 6.2-2016.11 Release is now available. The GCC 6 Release series has significant changes from the GCC 5 release series. For an explanation of the changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/changes.html For help in porting to GCC 6 please see the following explanation: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html Download release packages from: http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.2-2016.11/ http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/6.2-2016.11/ Previous snapshots and release-candidates are at: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ Previous releases are at: http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ Host Requirements ================== Linaro officially supports the current and previous Ubuntu LTS releases (as of the time of this release). This does not mean that the toolchain will not work on other/older Linux distributions.

Progress: [TCWG-940] LLD test failures on libcxx and libcxxabi - Reported bug upstream. Upstreamed a patch to LLD to add a sentinel value. This will mean that lld linked executables won't trigger the bug. [TCWG-901] Investigate LLD as a system linker on ARM - All the llvm and lld test failures were down to me forgetting to initialise a single bitfield member that I'd added. I can now confidently say lld can link itself and the other llvm executables from a clean build. - Closed out the investigation to concentrate on upstreaming my changes. [TCWG-829] Ifunc support - ARM does ifunc differently to all the other Targets (uses .got and .rel.dyn instead of .got.plt and .rel.plt) I have an old downstream patch that is essentially if (ARM) do this else do that; which is far too messy. - LLD has now been refactored a bit to make its linker generated sections more flexible. I'm currently trying to rework the design to use these. Not yet found an approach I'm happy with. Plans: Upstreaming priority: [TCWG-829] Ifunc support [TCWG-828] Static TLS support I've got downstream patches for these but I need to extend lld and rewrite them in a more general way to get them accepted upstream. [TCWG-919] Thunks to undefined symbols, such as when a Shared Object is dlopened and calls back to the executable (not yet posted upstream).

Progress: [TCWG-940] LLD test failures on libcxx and libcxxabi I think this is a latent bug in libunwind's .ARM.exidx table entry search that happens to be exposed by lld. Will try and make a reproducer using ld.bfd and report upstream if I'm correct. [TCWG-901] Investigate LLD as a system linker on ARM - Found 6 test failures in libcxxabi and 41 test failures in libcxx tests. I think these are likely to be all related to TCWG-940 - I cannot build working llvm tools from clean using LLD as the linker. Everything links but the resulting binaries are unstable, llvm-tablegen is the first to fall over, giving incorrect results. Other tools segfault when run on certain inputs. Much rebasing of downstream patches to account for refactoring. Refactoring will soon be at a point that I can start rewriting the downstream patches. Wrote a python script that can glue together the output of llvm-objdump, llvm-readobj to give me a better view of the plt, got and exception tables. Plans for next week: - Close out TCWG-940, find out what is wrong that is preventing lld from linking the llvm-tools. - Rewrite some of my downstream patches using the refactored framework.
