Checked the issue by building latest trunk, linaro branch and by adding the patch on top of linaro branch . Validated the code generated at -O2 and it seemed to be optimal and bug does not occur. Discussed with Christophe and decided to rebackport it along with 211881. It was reverted because of an libjava bug which is fixed in 211881. Used back flip to back port, git review was not automatically working. So manually amended by adding the change log for combined backport of revisions 209643 and 211881. * Misc [2/10] Prepared notes on LCU14 to AMD team.

updated stable branch

by Rob Savoye

I just updated the stable branch to match master, which in my testing has been reliable and stable. I also changed the following Jenkins jobs to use the stable branch: Backport, BuildFarm, BinaryRelease, SourceRelease. Note that now any Jenkins job that runs tests and validates them using the tcwgweb.sh script, the build and test run may succeed, but if there are any regressions, the dot will be Red now instead of Green. This primarily effects the Backport and the Release jobs. - rob -

Toolchain for kernel 2.6.36

by Joel (Xi Zhou) Zhou

Hi all, I'm using ct-ng to rebuild Linaro toolchain (arm-linux-gnueabihf ) for Linux kernel 2.6.36. Ct-ng version: ct-ng-linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2014.01-01 There is a “FATAL: Kernel too old” message after mounting the rootfs. It turns out the default config using pre-built sysroot from Linaro website. After setting " CT_PREBUILT_SYSROOT=n" to build sysroot with lower kernel version, I get the following error: [EXTRA] Building final compiler [ERROR] /projects/broadcom-linux/joelz/opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-2.6-gnueabihf/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:29: fatal error: gnu/stubs-soft.h: No such file or directory [ERROR] make[5]: *** [_muldi3.o] Error 1 [ERROR] make[4]: *** [multi-do] Error 1 I tried to put " -mfloat-abi=hard" as CFLAG in different place, still can't pass this error.

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Hi, I'm having some very odd problems building the 2014.08 toolchain respin -- in the cbuild1 i686-lucid env, building glibc fails with [ERROR] ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sched.h:127:14: error: variably modified '__bits' at file scope [ERROR] ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sched.h:127:14: error: variably modified '__bits' at file scope [ERROR] ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sigset.h:29:23: error: variably modified '__val' at file scope [ERROR] ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sigset.h:29:23: error: variably modified '__val' at file scope [ERROR] ../misc/sys/select.h:69:15: error: variably modified 'fds_bits' at file scope [ERROR] ../misc/sys/select.h:69:15: error: variably modified 'fds_bits' at file scope [ERROR] /cbuild/slaves/oorts/crosstool-ng/builds/aarch64_be-linux-gnu-linux/install/aarch64_be-linux-gnu/libc/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h:25:16: error: variably modified 'fds_bits' at file scope [ERROR] /cbuild/slaves/oorts/crosstool-ng/builds/aarch64_be-linux-gnu-linux/install/aarch64_be-linux-gnu/libc/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:33:2: error: requested alignment is not a positive power of 2 [ERROR] /cbuild/slaves/oorts/crosstool-ng/builds/aarch64_be-linux-gnu-linux/install/aarch64_be-linux-gnu/libc/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:53:2: error: unknown type name '__uint128_t' [ERROR] /cbuild/slaves/oorts/crosstool-ng/builds/aarch64_be-linux-gnu-linux/install/aarch64_be-linux-gnu/libc/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h:25:16: error: variably modified 'fds_bits' at file scope [ERROR] /cbuild/slaves/oorts/crosstool-ng/builds/aarch64_be-linux-gnu-linux/install/aarch64_be-linux-gnu/libc/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:33:2: error: requested alignment is not a positive power of 2 [ERROR] /cbuild/slaves/oorts/crosstool-ng/builds/aarch64_be-linux-gnu-linux/install/aarch64_be-linux-gnu/libc/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:53:2: error: unknown type name '__uint128_t' [ERROR] ../ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/sys/user.h:32:3: error: unknown type name '__uint128_t' [ERROR] ../ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/sys/user.h:32:3: error: unknown type name '__uint128_t' (Yes, the fix is to get rid of cbuild1 and more importantly the requirement for 32-bit builds in a prehistoric environment - it builds just fine on 64-bit present-day boxes... But I don't think we want to make that change in a respin). The "variably modified" errors remain even after hardcoding typedef struct { __cpu_mask __bits[16]; } cpu_set_t; instead of relying on __CPU_SETSIZE and __NCPUBITS, and the line where it complains about alignment not being a positive power of 2 actually hardcodes an alignment of 16. Have you run into those before? ttyl bero

LLVM 3.5.0 Release

by Renato Golin

Folks, Clang+LLVM 3.5.0 was released yesterday (3rd Sep) and Linaro, as usual, have tested both ARM and AArch64 native builds. This is a major milestone for LLVM on ARM/AArch64, please read the release notes to find out more. http://llvm.org/releases/3.5.0/docs/ReleaseNotes.html You can download the native ARM binaries (and sources) at: http://llvm.org/releases/download.html#3.5.0 Since LLVM is natively a cross-compiler, you can download the binary to your host platform and compile to ARM or AArch64, but you'll need extra tools (linker, libc, etc). The main changes are: * EHABI is now enabled by default and it's compatible with both gcc_eh and libc++abi unwinding libraries. * The integrated assembler has got a complete makeover and is now enabled by default on ARM and AArch64. It supports most of what GCC produces and a good part of the hand-coded assembly we've seen in the wild. Please report bugs! * The current AArch64 back-end is the resulting of a merge between the existing back-end with Apple's own private back-end (that they open sourced). It's faster and as stable as the previous and has been further improved since the merge. * Compiler-RT has been integrated to the ARM/AArch64 CMake build, including the sanitizers, though the resulting quality is still beta. Please report bugs! This is the first time that Linaro has produced binaries for both ARM and AArch64 and we'll continue to do so for all major and minor releases from now on. If there is any patch on trunk for ARM/AArch64 that you need back-ported to 3.5.1 (and beyond), please let us know. Feedback and Support Subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to stay on top of Linaro development. ** Linaro Toolchain Development "mailing list": http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain ** Linaro Toolchain IRC channel on irc.freenode.net at @#linaro-tcwg@ * Bug reports should be filed in LLVM's bugzilla: http://www.llvm.org/bugs/ * Questions?

== Progress == * Regression on alphaev68-linux-gnu due to uxt/sxt commit (7/10) - built cross alphaev68-linux-gnu and reproduces it with qemu. - Issue is due to PROMOTE_MODE definition and VRP truncating values. - discussed upstream and after a failed patch, it was suggested that the value ranges have to be calculated in promoted_mode precision. - Patch to do VRP in promoted_mode is in testing. There are few failures to fix. - An easier fix probably is to check the promoted mode against word_mode and disable uxt/sxt elimination. * TCWG-521 - Analysed Coremark and Spec2k for uxt/sxt optimizations TCWG-521(2/10) - Continue with Coremark and have additional patches in development for missing cases. * bswap pr43550 (No card yet) (1/10) - Finished regression testing. Will post the patch after resolving regression with alpha. == Paln == * Continue with VRP in promoted mode, TCWG-521 and bswap pr43550.
