supports multiple build farms, it uses my local hardware and the
TCWG build farm, and when run via Jenkins it uses the TCWG build
farm.
* Got qemu-aarch64 built and working, added to the DejaGnu site.exp
file used by Cbuildv2, so now aarch64 execution tests actually
work. Then cloned qemu-aarch to the x86_64 tcwg build farm
machines so Jenkins can use it. (TCWG 393 - 3/10)

Hi,
I finally got around to checking the attached patch for the
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+bug/1270789
I noticed attached patch causes regression for pr38151.c in gcc test-suite.
A reduced test-case that triggers this is:
static unsigned long global_max_fast;
int __libc_mallopt (int param_number, int value)
{
__asm__ __volatile__ ("# %[_SDT_A2]" :: [_SDT_A2] "nor"
((global_max_fast)));
global_max_fast = 1;
}
In this regard I have couple of questions:
1. Is the in-line asm valid? Look ok to me.
2. For the pr38151.c regression, asm diff is as shown below.
< add x0, x0, :lo12:.LANCHOR0
< ldr x0, [x0]
---
> ldr x0, [x0,#:lo12:.LANCHOR0]
This causes:
pr38151.c:(.text+0x10c): relocation truncated to fit:
R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC against `.rodata'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status.
If I however increase the alignment of .rodata where .LANCHOR0 is
defined, this passes. Is alignment of BITS_PER_UNIT valid for
SYMBOL_REF? If I change it as I am doing this attached patch, is there
anything else I need to do.
Thanks,
Kugan
Hi Linaro'ites
We have upgraded eglibc to 2.19 in OpenEmbedded and I started to notice
WARNING: No recipes available for:
/home/kraj/angstrom/sources/meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-core/eglibc/eglibc_2.18.bbappend
NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies
And it seems in this bbappend the SRC_URIs are overridden to point to a Linaro
release of eglibc
I wanted to know if there is a 2.19 head for linaro eglibc being created ?
in that case that bbappend needs fixing too.
Thanks
-Khem
Ganesh,
Thank you for your email - please note this question is best directed
at linaro-toolchain(a)lists.linaro.org where it is more likely to get
picked up quickly.
Our general rules for benchmarking are to use -mcpu=cortex-a## -O3 as
the compiler flags (where ## is the particular CPU you are interested
in).
Linaro's philosophy is to try and get the best results possible that
normal users will see, we don't go looking for 'magic' options that
may give better performance on one benchmark, but not in general.
Thanks,
Matt

Richard,
I found some emails about you implementing softvfp back in 2003, and
I'd like to know what is the expected behaviour when it conflicts with
the target triple, for example:
-triple arm-linux-gnueabihf + -mfpu=sofvfp+vfp
In this case, in LLVM, the triple sets "-float-abi=hard" but the fpu
would set "+soft-float-abi", which are contradictory flags.
Is that case even possible? If so, what's the expected behaviour? Soft
or hard float?
Do the extra flags always override the triple behaviour? Is it
expected that *every* compiler flag will work on a
last-seen-sets-behaviour manner?
cheers,

Hello,
I'm maintaining an older release we have which uses the older toolchian
binaries in gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.03-20120326_linux. I've
identified a bug in glibc we appear to be encountering and would like to
port the fix back.
I initially went the route of compiling the above toolchain binaries from
source as described in the readme.txt but then found that the cross
compiler binary build does not include the e/glibc build and these appear
to be sucked in in binary form (oneiric-sysroot-r1).
Are there any documents how these prebuilt libc binaries were created?
Please note that I'm not asking in general how to build glibc. I've built a
version with and without this bug patched to verify that it is indeed what
we are hitting. I'm more hoping to get an idea of how the specific binaries
mentioned above were built.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello,
The binutils 2.24-2013.12 release page says that the release was built
from the linaro_binutils-2_24-2013_12_release tag, but that tag
doesn't seem to actually be present in the git repo at
http://git.linaro.org/toolchain/binutils.git . Could that tag please
be pushed?
Thanks and regards,

- Regression testing with the implementation; found some issues and
discussed with Matt
- Working on fixing them
- Patch for Vectorizer generates unaligned access when
-mno-unaligned-access committed upstream (2/10)
- This also triggered some regression with ARMv5 and looking into them
(2/10)
- Set-up qemu aarch64 for gcc testing (1/10)
== Plan ==
- Check ARMv5 regression for unaligned access
- Look into vectorizer cost model/benchmarking
This is an attempt to build TI mcsdk 3.0.3.15 with
bitbake tisdk-server-rootfs-image
It fails trying to make rpms for the linaro toolchain.

If I change Release: r2-arago3 to not have a - in the spec file then I
can build the rpms manually with the same command.
Is there a place where I can change that globally?

Hello Ulrich,
I'm on a freescale mx53 (single core, cortex a8) and trying to find a
nasty problem in our $CUSTOMER's application. Working hardware watch
point support in gdb should solve the problem, or at least brings us a
big step forward. I stumbled over your about three years old thread[1]
about the cortex a8 memory mapped debug registers problem. Do I
understand correctly, that you had a8 watch point running on at least
one board? Have you got any code and or pointers to get watch point
support running?
regards,
Marc Kleine-Budde

*Hi LINARO-TEAM,*
I would like start a software development on a “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9)
MPU (R7S721010xxx” by using Eclipse IDE (Kepler - 4.3.1).
> Global objective = Use free SW development tools
I have read, that the “Linaro GCC Toolchain Release Supports Full Range of
ARM Cortex-A Processors” and it’s an open source software for the ARM
architecture, including the GCC toolchain.
> Well – I think that is what I need.
So, I have installed the Linaro Toolchain
(gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2013q3-20130916-win32.exe) and test the compilation
of the “*Hello World ARM C Project*” for the Target Processor “cortex-A9”
> So, the compilation is OK.
*NOW, I would like prepare a small TEST-Project with FreeRTOS.*
FreeRTOSV8.0.0_Release_Candidate_2
> I have found the “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) RTOS Demo”:
http://www.freertos.org/Renesas_RZ_Cortex-A9-RTOS.html
But the two projects are provided to be built with the* IAR Embedded
Workbench <http://www.iar.com/ewarm>* or the *ARM DS-5
<http://arm.com/products/tools/software-tools/ds-5/index.php> embedded
development tools*.
> I have seen that the DS-5 Development Studio is not for free but it use
also the Linaro GNU Compiler (GCC) toolchain.
So, I have tried to import the “Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) RTOS Demo”
project to Eclipse, *but the import doesn’t work – and I’m not sure that
the project uses the Linaro GNU GCC Compiler**.*
> I think that Demo project for DS-5 use also special plugins/configuration
settings from the Development Studio – so this can’t work ?!…
*HELP:*
*I’m new in the “Eclipse IDE / Compiler (GCC) toolchain” WORLD … *
So, can you help me to give me a good direction - *what I need to do *to
make running this small “Blinky-Demo for Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) with
the FreeRTOS” by using the Linaro GCC Toolchain.
> Or have you another small Demo project for the Linaro GCC Toolchain which
uses the FreeRTOS for the Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) family?
… Or you think that is not easily possible to do that for a Newcomer like
me?
I hope that you can help me to put me on the right road.

== Progress ==
* Fixed remaining issues in rework of hwbreakpoint and watchpoint
implementation for arm
native targets. Tested and submitted patch. [TCWG-177] [8/10]
* Installation and Setting up of new desktop machine. [2/10]
== Plan ==
* Run testsuites to see current status of arm gdb.
* Follow up on submitted patches.
* Public holiday on Wednesday 5th February.
* Libsanitizer for AArch64: (4/10)
- seems to be mostly working, but trouble with validation both using
the Foundation Model and qemu-aarch64.
- Some tests seems to loop forever while unwinding under qemu, but
run fine under the Foundation model
- Conversely the Foundation Model shows some random errors, and the
corresponding tests pass under qemu
- Some random timeouts with the Foundation Model, despite using ssh
multiplexing
- Added a small patch to qemu to hande missing mmap flag. Need to
send upstream.
- asked Rob to run GCC testsuite with my patch on AArch64 but it's
too unstable these days
* Cross-validation (2/10)
- script now able to validate a GCC patch and compare results with
unmodified GCC trunk
- added arm-none-eabi target
- using qemu-aarch64 for aarch64-none-linux-gnueabi but the
validations now time out. Need investigation, but I might have to
revert to no execution for this target.
- identified a problem with the recent armv7-ve patch
* Benchmarks: (1/10)
- collecting data for 4.8 tables
* Peeling: (1/10)
- backported new vectorizer cost model to check it if's OK to
include it in our next release

* Investigate "PGO" for Aarch64 (3/10).
Bootstap testing aarch64 with PGO for GCC.Stage 2, feedback profile in progress.
Tested a small test case for -fbranch-probabilities, works same as x86_64.
Working on checking the "gcda" files generated and profile runs for coremark.
* Cbuild2 discussed with rob, ryan on using cbuild2 for developement. (3/10)
Thanks Rob for fixing some issues and adding features that I
requested. Tested some features added. Captured it as FAQ.

* Build static gdbserver for target via Cbuildv2.
* Add Win32 installer for Canadian cross built binary
releases to Cbuildv2.
* Get Kugan's benchmark branch running on build farm.
* More Jenkins maintainance.
