help, here is a armV8 32bit question for linaro 4.8: the code I given below adopt sembedding ARMV8 assembly , but the compile result with Linaro GCC 4.8 aarch32 is not correct

by Panshilin (Peter)

Hi all concerned: this test code I given below: AARCH32 [https://email-cn04.huawei.com/owa/14.3.158.1/themes/base/pgrs-sm.gif] Test function[X][X] { volatile unsigned int val0 = 0; volatile unsigned int val1 = 0; asm volatile(“mrrc p15, 1, %0, %1, c15” : “=r”(val0), “=r”(val1)) val0 &= ~(1<<6); val1 &= ~(1<<6); asm volatile(“mcrr p15, 1, %0, %1, c15” : “=r”(val0), “=r”(val1)); } After compiling, the result is: mrrc 15, 1, r2, r3, cr15 str r2, [fp, #-28] str r3, [fp, #-24] ldr r3, [fp, #-28] bic r3, r3, #64; str r3, [fp, #-28] ldr r3, [fp, #-24] bic r3, r3, #64 str r3, [fp, #-24] mcrr 15, 1, r2, r3, cr15 obviously , it is not what I expect. I have val0 an vl1 two vars, but the compiling result is only one val takes effect. especia I have to mention is AARCH32. thanks. Peter

FW: Request received: accessing toolchain source releases - Member user

by Scott Douglass

Hi, Do you happen to know the answer to the git/svn questions below? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: LDTS [mailto:support@linaro.zendesk.com] Sent: 25 July 2014 08:43 To: Scott Douglass Subject: Request received: accessing toolchain source releases - Member user Thank you for contacting Linaro. Your request (#927 <https://support.linaro.org/requests/927> ) has been received and is being reviewed by Linaro Developer Technical Support (LDTS). One of our Support agents will be in contact with you as soon as possible. If you would like our agent to contact you via phone, please include your phone number in the comments. To view your ticket and/or add additional comments, reply to this email or click the link below: http://support.linaro.org/requests/927 Scott Douglass Jul 25 16:43 Hi, I’ve been looking at https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain (https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain) and I see the Tree links that give me the git repository and commit id for the current releases of the toolchains (for example, 4.9-2014.06-1 => https://git.linaro.org/toolchain/gcc.git/commit/56d9fd9281e8cef3ea35b7d9ad8… (https://git.linaro.org/toolchain/gcc.git/commit/56d9fd9281e8cef3ea35b7d9ad8… My first question is: is there a straight-forward way (for example, a tag) to find the commit ids of older (4.9) releases? Or is searching the commit messages the best way? Also, is there svn access as well or just git access? (Git access is enough, but svn access would be slightly easier for me.) Also, I has a couple comments on that wiki page: It says “Pre-built versions that run on generic Linux or Windows are available at http://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries.”, but it looks like the that Launchpad project is no longer being maintained (no 4.9 and no recent 4.8). Perhaps the wiki page should be updated (and the Launchpad description updated). The wiki page also links to https://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/Next/Release/Status (https://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/Next/Release/Status) which seems even more out-of-date than the Launchpad binaries; perhaps that link should be updated/removed, too.

VFP in BE mode - undefined instruction vstmia

by Joel (Xi Zhou) Zhou

Hi all, I'm working on booting Linaro LSK 3.10.40 kernel in be8 mode on our Cortex-A9 system. There is an issue related to VFP instruction. It complain "vstmia" is an undefined instruction. The VFP is supported in CPU and CONFIG_VFP and CONFIG_VFPv3 are enabled in kernel config. Are there any patch need to be done for VFP in BE mode? The booting log show as following: call sys_access(/init) Freeing unused kernel memory: 2832K (c0600000 - c08c4000) kernel_init: try to execute '/init' (ramdisk_execute_command) en->run_init_process(/init) init (1): undefined instruction: pc=0000aab8 Code: f00f dff8 2a20 1268 (acec) 108b Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000004 The disassembly code show the undefined instruction is "vstmia". armeb-linux-gnueabihf-objdump -D busybox_unstripped > busy.asm 0000aa90 <__sigsetjmp>: ... aab6: 6812 ldr r2, [r2, #0] aab8: ecac 8b10 vstmia ip!, {d8-d15} aabc: f412 7f00 tst.w r2, #512 ; 0x200 The rootfs is busybox 1.22.1 compiled by Linaro BE hard floating toolchain. https://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-… Thanks, Joel

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.07 released

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2014.07 stable release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.07 is the fourth Linaro GCC source package release in the 4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.1+svn212419 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 approaches version 4.9.1. The Linaro TCWG will provide monthly stable[1] source package releases until FSF GCC 4.9.1 is released. At that point Linaro GCC 4.9 will merge in FSF GCC 4.9.1 and, release Linaro GCC 4.9.1, and then return to a schedule of stable quarterly releases and monthly engineering[2] releases. Interesting changes in this GCC source package release include: * Updates to GCC 4.9.1-pre+svn212419 * Backport of [AArch32] Wrap long literals in HOST_WIDE_INT_C in aarch-common.c * Backport of [AArch32] Rewrite TLC Intrinsics. * Backport of [AArch32] Remove vzip, vuzp, vtrn builtins and cleanup * Backport of [AArch32] Use enum name instead of integer value for PARAM_SCHED_PRESSURE_ALGORITHM. * Backport of [AArch32] Vectorise bswap* * Backport of [AArch32] Fix PR/61331 * Backport of [AArch32] Fix PR target/61154 * Backport of [AArch32] Use mov_imm type for movw operations consistently * Backport of [AArch32] Remove XFmode from ARM backend. * Backport of [AArch64] Rewrite REV Intrinsics. * Backport of [AArch64] Implement HARD_REGNO_CALLER_SAVE_MODE. * Backport of [AArch64] Support tail indirect function call. * Backport of [AArch64] Fix stack protector for ILP32 * Backport of [AArch64] ILP32 dynamic linker * Backport of [AArch64] Correct signedness of builtins, remove casts from arm_neon.h * Backport of [AArch64] clarify stack layout diagram * Backport of [AArch64] Implement movmem for the benefit of inline memcpy * Backport of [AArch64] Fix REG_CFA_RESTORE mode. * Backport of [AArch64] Fix layout of frame layout code. * Backport of [AArch64] Fix some reg-to-reg move scheduler types. * Backport of [AArch64] Implement CRC32 ACLE intrinsics + testsuite. * Backport of [AArch64] Implement ADD in vector registers for 32-bit scalar values. * Backport of [AArch32/AArch64] TARGET_ATOMIC_ASSIGN_EXPAND_FENV AArch64 * Backport of [AArch32/AArch64] Use signed chars in gcc.dg/pr60114.c. * Backport of [AArch32/AArch64] Rewrite UZP Intrinsics. * Backport of [AArch32/AArch64] Rewrite TRN Intrinsics. * Backport of [AArch32/AArch64] Rewrite EXT Intrinsics. * Backport of [genattrtab] Fix memory corruption, allocate enough memory for all bypassed reservations * Backport of Fix PR c/60114 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 Launchpad against "Linaro GCC project": http://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+filebug. * Questions? "ask Linaro": http://ask.linaro.org/. * Interested in commercial support? inquire at "Linaro support":mailto: support(a)linaro.org [1] Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed. [2] Engineering source package releases are defined as releases where the compiler is only put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed.

== Issues == * None == Progress == * Take care Linaro binaries release (1/10). * Send out ccmp patches for community review (TCWG-488, 1/10). * loop2_invariants heuristics tune (1/10, TCWG-469). One patch was committed @r212135. * Constant optimization (TCWG-486, 7/10 ) - Try to keep constant in register when expanding. But benchmark results show regression due to combine behavior changes. - Try to keep unsigned constant when expanding. For crc |= 0x8000, crc is unsigned short. If 0x8000 is represented as unsigned value, no need to split 0x8000. But in middle-end, wide_int_storage::set_len and trunc_int_for_mode always do sign extension. "trunc_int_for_mode (INTVAL (op), mode) == INTVAL (op)" is always checked when checking operand (e.g. in general_operand of recog.c). And in RTL, there is no "unsigned" information at all. == Plans == * Update ccmp patches according to comments. * Continue on constant optimization. * Ping pending patches.

== Progress == * Zero/sign extension elimination (TCWG-15) (10/10) - Posted two patches for review and gone through few iterations - Looked at flag_wrapv and !flag_strict_overflow regressions * ARM (and possibly some other targets) truncates negative values and this makes them incompatible with the value range in SSA. One solution is to ignore any gimple statements that load negative constants when eliminating zero/sign extension elimination. * We also loose the OVF(INF) information in tree when they are converted to wide_int and propagated to SSA. - Testing on a target that support PTR_EXTEND * Trying to set-up x86_64-linux with -mx32. Still not able to compile as I am getting various errors in glibc. Looking into it, == Plan == * Upstream zero/sign extension elimination activities

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) announces the 2014.06-1 release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. This is a respin of the 2014.06 release which fixes some issues on AArch64 big-endian and in AArch64 libjava. Changes in this GCC source package release include: * Updates to GCC 4.9.1-pre+svn211964 * Revert backport of [AArch64] Define TARGET_FLAGS_REGNUM. * Backport of [AArch64] Cost model improvements. Please find the original 2014.06 release notes below: The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2014.06 stable release of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. Linaro GCC 4.9 2014.06 is the third Linaro GCC source package release in the 4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.1-pre+svn211054 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 approaches version 4.9.1. The Linaro TCWG will provide monthly stable[1] source package releases until FSF GCC 4.9.1 is released. At that point Linaro GCC 4.9 will merge in FSF GCC 4.9.1 and, release Linaro GCC 4.9.1, and then return to a schedule of stable quarterly releases and monthly engineering[2] releases. Interesting changes in this GCC source package release include: * Updates to GCC 4.9.1-pre+svn211054 * Backport of [AArch32] PR rtl-optimization/60663 * Backport of [AArch32] Suppress Redundant Flag Setting for Cortex-A15. * Backport of [AArch32] Support ORN for DIMode. * Backport of [AArch32] Optimise NotDI AND/OR ZeroExtendSI for ARMv7A. * Backport of [AArch32] Allow any register for DImode values in Thumb2. * Backport of [AArch32] Initialize new tune_params values. * Backport of [AArch32] Initialise T16-related fields in Cortex-A8 tuning struct. * Backport of [AArch32] Enable tail call optimization for long call. * Backport of [AArch64] TRY_EMPTY_VM_SPACE Change for ILP32. * Backport of [AArch64] Fix TLS for ILP32. * Backport of [AArch64] vrnd<*>_f64 patch. * Backport of [AArch64] Fix possible wrong code generation when comparing DImode values. * Backport of [AArch64] Add a space to memory asm code between base register and offset. * Backport of [AArch64] Fix aarch64_initial_elimination_offset calculation. * Backport of [AArch64] vqneg and vqabs intrinsics implementation. * Backport of [AArch64] Vreinterpret re-implemention. * Backport of [AArch64] Define TARGET_FLAGS_REGNUM. * Backport of [AArch64] Merge longlong.h from glibc tree. * Backport of [AArch64] add, sub, mul in TImode. * Backport of [AArch64] Add handling of bswap operations in rtx costs. * Backport of [AArch64] Fully support rotate on logical operations. * Backport of [AArch64] Use standard patterns for stack protection. * Backport of [AArch64] VDUP Testcases. * Backport of [AArch64] Vectorise bswap[16,32,64]. * Backport of [AArch64] Enable TBL for big-endian. * Backport of [AArch64] Reverse TBL indices for big-endian. * Backport of [AArch64] Relax modes_tieable_p and cannot_change_mode_class. * Backport of [AArch64] Improve vst4_lane intrinsics. * Backport of [AArch64] Rewrite and tests ZIP Intrinsics. * Backport of [AArch64] libitm Enabled. * Backport of [AArch64] Support full addressing modes for ldr/str in vectorization scenarios * Backport of [AArch32/AArch64] rtx costs (FMA, Cortex-A8, ...). * Backport of Fix warning in libgfortran configure script. * Backport of Remove PUSH_ARGS_REVERSED from the RTL expander 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 Launchpad against "Linaro GCC project": http://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+filebug. * Questions?
