by Christophe Lyon

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the 2014.06 release of Linaro GCC 4.7. As announced at Linaro Connect USA 2013 Linaro GCC moved to a pattern of quarterly stable releases, with engineering releases in the intervening months. This is the third stable release, and contains no known regressions compared to the 2014.04 release. Linaro GCC 4.7 2014.06 is the twenty forth release in the 4.7 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.7.5+svn211571 release, this is the eleventh release after entering maintenance and the final one. Interesting changes include: * Updates to GCC 4.7.4+svn211571 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?

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.

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?

Reg. Error during binutils build

by Gopalasubramanian, Ganesh

I got an error while trying to build the latest Linaro-binutils source (http://releases.linaro.org/14.06/components/toolchain/binutils-linaro/binut…). ../bfd/bfd.h:304:75: error: right-hand operand of comma expression has no effect [-Werror=unused-value] #define bfd_set_section_userdata(bfd, ptr, val) (((ptr)->userdata = (val)),TRUE) Found that the error is already resolved in FSF trunk (https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-01/msg00334.html). Is that on cards for backport? Regards Ganesh

Issue with LPAE in Linux kernel

by Taras Kondratiuk

It seems we have an issue with 4.8 toolchain. Recent Linux kernels (v3.15, v3.16) fails to boot on TI Keystone 2 SoC with LPAE enabled if built by gcc 4.8, while they boots fine if built by 4.6, 4.7 or 4.9. Linux kernel versions used for testing: - 3.15, 3.16 - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 4.8 toolchain binaries: http://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-a… 4.9 toolchain binaries: http://releases.linaro.org/14.05/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-a… Our current investigation results: 1) The issue happened somewhere inside function arch/arm/mm/mmu.c -> paging_init(). 2) At the moment when paging_init() -> kmap_init() function is called the value of static structure "init_mm" become corrupted and (&init_mm)->pgd has changed its value from 0xc0003000 to 0xe2411001. 2.1) "init_mm" is initialized statically in mm/init-mm.c and not modified by code struct mm_struct init_mm = { .mm_rb = RB_ROOT, .pgd = swapper_pg_dir, .mm_users = ATOMIC_INIT(2), .mm_count = ATOMIC_INIT(1), .mmap_sem = __RWSEM_INITIALIZER(init_mm.mmap_sem), .page_table_lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(init_mm.page_table_lock), .mmlist = LIST_HEAD_INIT(init_mm.mmlist), INIT_MM_CONTEXT(init_mm) }; 2.2) The below debugging code produces following log output: [ 0.000000] cma: CMA: reserved 16 MiB at 2e800000 [ 0.000000] Memory policy: Data cache writealloc [ 0.000000] ==== map_lowmem c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== dma_contiguous_remap c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== devicemaps_init c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== kmap_init c06ecc08 e2411001 [ 0.000000] Unhandled fault: alignment fault (0x221) at 0xe2411011 Debugging code: void __init paging_init(const struct machine_desc *mdesc) { void *zero_page; build_mem_type_table(); prepare_page_table(); pr_err("==== map_lowmem %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); map_lowmem(); pr_err("==== dma_contiguous_remap %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); dma_contiguous_remap(); pr_err("==== devicemaps_init %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); devicemaps_init(mdesc); pr_err("==== kmap_init %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); kmap_init(); pr_err("==== tcm_init\n"); 2.3) Most of functions called by paging_init() are static and get inlined. If 'static' modifier is removed from devicemaps_init() (so it will not be inlined by compiler), the issue disappears and kernel boots fine. 2.4) The same kernel binary boot fine if LPAE is disable.
