Configuration specifics of prebuilt libc binaries

by Evan Carson

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! Evan Carson

kernel support for cortex A8 hardware watchpoints

by Marc Kleine-Budde

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 [1] http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-toolchain/2011-February/000820.html -- Pengutronix e.K. | Marc Kleine-Budde | Industrial Linux Solutions | Phone: +49-231-2826-924 | Vertretung West/Dortmund | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | http://www.pengutronix.de |

Linaro GNU Compiler (GCC) toolchain : for Renesas RZ (ARM Cortex-A9) + FreeRTOS (Demo Project)

*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?

* 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 * Misc (2/10): conf-calls, meetings, docs (howtos for TCWG) == Next == * libsanitizer on AArch64 * fix cross-validation on aarch64-none-linux-gnu * benchmarks: complete table * backports: chek new vectorizer cost model, monthly branch merge, review Michael's backports of Crypto intrinsics

TARGET_ATOMIC_ASSIGN_EXPAND_FENV

by Kugan

I had a look at the missing target hook TARGET_ATOMIC_ASSIGN_EXPAND_FENV to fix the C11 memory model testcase in regressions in trunk. I looked at the x86 implementation of this target hooks and x86 has instructions (FNSTENV,FLDENV,FNSTSW,FNCLEX) for feholdexcept, feclearexcept and feupdateenv. Does ARM has something similar? Any pointers/links I can refer to. Please see the gcc internal documentation for the target hook below. — Target Hook: void TARGET_ATOMIC_ASSIGN_EXPAND_FENV (tree *hold, tree *clear, tree *update) ISO C11 requires atomic compound assignments that may raise floating-point exceptions to raise exceptions corresponding to the arithmetic operation whose result was successfully stored in a compare-and-exchange sequence. This requires code equivalent to calls to feholdexcept, feclearexcept and feupdateenv to be generated at appropriate points in the compare-and-exchange sequence. This hook should set *hold to an expression equivalent to the call to feholdexcept, *clear to an expression equivalent to the call to feclearexcept and *update to an expression equivalent to the call to feupdateenv. The three expressions are NULL_TREE on entry to the hook and may be left as NULL_TREE if no code is required in a particular place. The default implementation leaves all three expressions as NULL_TREE. The __atomic_feraiseexcept function from libatomic may be of use as part of the code generated in *update. Thanks, Kugan

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 4.8 and 4.7 2014.01 released

by Christophe Lyon

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of both Linaro GCC 4.7 and Linaro GCC 4.8. As announced at Linaro Connect USA 2013 Linaro GCC is moving to a pattern of quarterly stable releases, with engineering releases in the intervening months. This is the first stable release, and contains no known regressions compared to the 2013.12 release. The next release of GCC 4.7 will be the 2014.04 stable release. There will be no engineering releases of GCC 4.7 in 2013.02 or 2013.03. The next stable release of GCC 4.8 will be the 2014.04 release. Next month's release - 2013.02 - will be an engineering build. Linaro GCC 4.7 2014.01 is the twenty second release in the 4.7 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.7.4+svn206380 release, this is the ninth release after entering maintenance. Interesting changes include: * Updates to GCC 4.7.4+svn206380 Linaro GCC 4.8 2014.01 is the tenth release in the 4.8 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.8.3+svn206350 release, it includes performance improvements and bug fixes. Interesting changes include: * Updates to GCC 4.8.3+svn206350 * Enhanced multilib support The source tarballs are available from: http://releases.linaro.org/14.01/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.7 http://releases.linaro.org/14.01/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.8 Downloads are available from the Linaro Releases website: http://www.linaro.org/downloads/ More information on the features and issues are available from the release pages: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/4.7/4.7-2014.01 https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/4.8/4.8-2014.01 Mailing list: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/ Questions? https://ask.linaro.org/ Interested in commercial support?
