writing a new Machine Description file (e.g cortex-a57.md) in gcc

by Virendra Kumar Pathak

Hi Linaro Toolchain Group, I am new to gcc development. I am trying to write a new md file describing pipeline information for a processor. Please suggest some good reference document for understanding machine description file. Few questions from cortex-a53.md file: For first integer pipeline following is defined - (define_cpu_unit "cortex_a53_slot0" "cortex_a53") Is name cortex_a53_slot0 is a keyword or it is any general string? Is there any convention in choosing names for cpu units? If ‘cortex_a53_slot0’ a general string, how assembler knows it is first integer pipeline? How these *.md files are used? When they are compiled and how they are used? How to verify an md file for a processor is written correctly or not? How to test it? What other design consideration must be kept in mind while writing a new md file? Thanks. with regards, Virendra Kumar Pathak

This is a re-spin of the Linaro GCC 4.9 2015.04 source package snapshot. The re-spin of this snapshot includes a new configure-time option to enable by default a workaround for Cortex-A53 erratum number 843419 and options to explicitly disable or enable it during compilation. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.9-2015.04-1 Original release notes for GCC 4.9 2015.04 snapshot: The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2015.04 snapshot of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. Linaro GCC 4.9 2015.04 is the first Linaro GCC source package snapshot in the 4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.3-pre+svn222035 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes. With the imminent release of ARMv8 hardware and the recent release of the GCC 4.9 compiler the Linaro TCWG will be focusing on stabilization and performance of the compiler as the FSF GCC compiler.

PR65837 - patch to lto-wrapper rejected. - Another hack to pass driver's argv to lto-wrapper via another environment variable COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS_DRIVER rejected by Richard. - Ramana and Richard pointed out the proper fix would be to handle target attributes in ARM backend. - I could try extending Christian Bruel's target attribute patches for fpu options after they're checked in which would then fix the PR. chromium LTO build - Many instances of same error message during LINK chrome: chrome.ltrans0.s:18399164: Error: Thumb2 branch out of range chrome.ltrans0.s:9671243: Error: branch out of range works fine for non-lto.

Assume test.c contains a neon intrinsic: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -flto -c test.c -mfpu=neon arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -flto test.o results in target specific builtin not available, because both -mfpu=neon and -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 is passed and -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 overrides earlier -mfpu=neon Passing -mfpu=neon at link time correctly overrides -mfpu=vfpv3-d16. * PR6778 - ICE in varpool_node::get_constructor. - Looks like PR65776 appears due to same issue as well. - It appears error_mark_node gets streamed that causes ICE. - Triage went wrong, thought it was an error in typeck2.c:check_narrowing(). * PR49551 - The C front-end c/c-decl.c:merge_decls still incorrectly marks the variable as 'common' for the test-case: int x = 5; int x; However it's not reproducible anymore on trunk (maybe latent?) - I have an untested patch that resolves the issue in merge_decls(). * Issues - abe built native gcc on x8_64-unknown-linux-gnu fails to build code when passed -m32 option (bug 1508). * Misc - exams on 20th and 24th april. * Next week - Continue working on PR65837, PR65778 - Test patch for PR49551

Build u-boot using Linaro toolchain

by Joel (Xi Zhou) Zhou

Hi all, I have built our customized u-boot (u-boot-2012.10-rc3), with two Linaro toolchain, but have no luck with the latest toolchain. The u-boot built with gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.9-2014.09_linux can boot on the development board. This toolchain was pre-built toolchain from Linaro, built with crosstool-NG. The version is gcc version 4.9.2 20140904 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.9-2014.09 - Linaro GCC 4.9-2014.09) With the same u-boot source, the binary built with the Linaro gcc 4.9 2015.04 hang on the same board. The 2nd toolchain was compiled locally on RHEL6, built with ABE tool. We build it locally to avoid "GLIBC_2.14 not found" issue on the pre-built toolchain. The version is gcc version 4.9.3 20150413 (prerelease) (Linaro GCC 2015.04) Does anyone have an idea what happen? Is it a regression bug in gcc4.9?

toolchain folders and content

by Robert Schwarz

Hi, I am using the linaro tolchain to create a root-filesystem for an embedded Linux system. I would like to copy the essential include files and libraries(libc) from the toolchain to the rootFS of the embedded system. Is there any explanation of the folder structure of the toolchain so I know which folder to copy? How do I know which files to copy and where those files are located in the toolchain? Thanks, Robert

Linaro Toolchain Product Release Process Changes (Effective 2015.04)

by Ryan Arnold

Hello, In an effort to provide a longer quality control window for quarterly releases the Linaro Toolchain Working Group will be making some changes to the release process starting with the forthcoming 2015.04 products. Little will change for the consumers of TCWG products. The current monthly source release of the 'stable' Linaro GCC source archives posted to releases.linaro.org will move to snapshots.linaro.org and will be designated 'monthly snapshots'. The exact location will be announced when the 2015.04 Toolchain component source archive release notes are posted to this mailing list. These monthly snapshots will continue to have branch merges, performance fixes, security fixes, and correctness fixes applied on a monthly basis. They will also continue to have validation across a variety of common ARM targets performed (per backport) against them. TCWG will introduce the concept of a 'release candidate source archive' and 'release candidate binary toolchain archive' six weeks before the projected release date of the Quarterly Binary Toolchain Release. For example, the 2015.05 Quarterly Binary Toolchain and Quarterly Source Archive will be based upon the 2015.04 source archive snapshot. Release candidate source and binary archives will be posted to snapshots.linaro.org. This release candidate will receive the scrutiny of internal and external stakeholders for six weeks and give an opportunity to evaluate the forth-coming Quarterly Binary Toolchain Archive and Source Archive Release. Problems found with the release candidates will result in the availability of incremental release candidate archives. The official quarterly release will be posted to releases.linaro.org. Please direct any questions or concerns to this mailing list or to me directly. -- Ryan S. Arnold Linaro Toolchain Working Group - Engineering Manager www.linaro.org

== This Week == TCWG-619: * Compiled chromium on ARM without LTO with following hack to resolve error: undefined reference to 'clock_gettime', version 'GLIBC_2.17' - chromium uses prebuilt sysroot in src/chrome/installer/linux/debian_wheezy_arm-sysroot and it has libc-2.13.so, libc.so.6 is symbolic link to libc-2.13.so in the sysroot. However it appears minimum libc-2.17 is required (version 'GLIBC_2.17'). I replaced libc-2.13.so by abe-built libc-2.20-2014.11-1-git.so, and symlinked libc.so.6 to libc-2.20-2014.11-1-git.so and that worked (for non LTO build). Curiously I didn't require to do this for building chromium with linaro prebuilt toolchain. * Found a way to disable LTO for building lib/libblink_web.so by manually removing -flto from web_blink.ninja and Webkit/source/core/*.ninja, which worked. * Chromium non LTO build issues on ARM: a) Fails with gcc-5 due to error in chromium: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=340312 To compile chromium, I applied a patch to cp/typeck2.c to shut narrowing conversion errors (ideally the fix should be to chromium). b) ld.bfd (linaro branch) fails with undefined references to many functions in libattr1: http://pastebin.com/ju4SCDSE Not sure if this is ld.bfd bug, or me building it wrongly. Haven't tested yet with trunk ld.bfd. Works fine with gold. * Target independent Chromium LTO issues with trunk a) Top-level asm and LTO (PR57703) - This appears to be not supported. * Chromium LTO issues on ARM with trunk: a) ICE in lib/libblink_web.so (PR65576). b) Target specific builtin not available: http://pastebin.com/2ANsEyMn Seems related to: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=408997 c) ICE during LINK chrome: http://pastebin.com/DpjJ5M7g d) GNU ld appears to segfault compiling in LTO mode. * Chromium LTO issues with linaro-4.9 branch: a) ICE elf section out of range (PR57208) - fixed in trunk b) gold - Ran out of file descriptors: fixed in trunk. Seems the following patch which is in trunk but not in linaro branch fixes it: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blobdiff;f=gold/… I tried to backport it but got errors, possibly depends on other commits. * v8 ARM LTO issues: - Assembly error - offset out of range (PR65778). Possibly invalid bug. == Next Week == - Create reduced test case for PR65576 - Figure out how to disable LTO for building lib/libblink_web.so in .gyp files - PR49551 - Exams on 20th and 24th April.

Issue building busybox using aarch64-linux-gnu 2014.11

by Kevin Petit

Hi, I (and several other people) am (are) having trouble to build busybox with the latest aarch64-linux-gnu 2014.11 binaries we got from linaro.org. It seems none of the built-in library search paths (gcc -print-search-dirs) allow to find crt[1i].o. They seem to be expected in a multiarch location but aren't (libc/usr/lib64). We're working around this with a symlink. Is this a bug? Have you seen similar issues? Here's a failing command-line and the associated error message: /path/to/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wunused -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-function -Wunused-value -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wno-format-security -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -fno-builtin-strlen -finline-limit=0 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-guess-branch-probability -funsigned-char -static-libgcc -falign-functions=1 -falign-jumps=1 -falign-labels=1 -falign-loops=1 -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Os -static -o busybox_unstripped -Wl,--start-group applets/built-in.o archival/lib.a archival/libarchive/lib.a console-tools/lib.a coreutils/lib.a coreutils/libcoreutils/lib.a debianutils/lib.a e2fsprogs/lib.a editors/lib.a findutils/lib.a init/lib.a libbb/lib.a libpwdgrp/lib.a loginutils/lib.a mailutils/lib.a miscutils/lib.a modutils/lib.a networking/lib.a networking/libiproute/lib.a networking/udhcp/lib.a printutils/lib.a procps/lib.a runit/lib.a selinux/lib.a shell/lib.a sysklogd/lib.a util-linux/lib.a util-linux/volume_id/lib.a archival/built-in.o archival/libarchive/built-in.o console-tools/built-in.o coreutils/built-in.o coreutils/libcoreutils/built-in.o debianutils/built-in.o e2fsprogs/built-in.o editors/built-in.o findutils/built-in.o init/built-in.o libbb/built-in.o libpwdgrp/built-in.o loginutils/built-in.o mailutils/built-in.o miscutils/built-in.o modutils/built-in.o networking/built-in.o networking/libiproute/built-in.o networking/udhcp/built-in.o printutils/built-in.o procps/built-in.o runit/built-in.o selinux/built-in.o shell/built-in.o sysklogd/built-in.o util-linux/built-in.o util-linux/volume_id/built-in.o -Wl,--end-group -Wl,--start-group -lm -Wl,--end-group ========== /work/integration/envs/latest/tools/gcc/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9.3/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory /work/integration/envs/latest/tools/gcc/gcc-linaro-4.9-2014.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9.3/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [busybox_unstripped] Error 1 Thank you!
