[VIRT-263 # ARMv8.1-VHE Virtual Host Extensions ] More progress, but still crashing early. Crashes on first memory access after swapping ttbr1. Debugging kernel on guest and qemu on host simultaneously. So far, all the numbers look right but still boom. [VIRT-339 # ARMv8.5-BTI, Branch Target Identification ] Posted a v4 using the PT_NOTE, but still RFC-ish due to missing abi for new mmap flag. [VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ] Posted v1+v2 of CPUNegativeOffsetState. Posted v1 of a cleanup of target/riscv wrt decodetree. [Other] Upgraded the laptop from fedora 27 (out of support now), to ubuntu 18.04 lts. r~

[ACTIVITY] Week ending Friday 29th March 2019

by Peter Smith

[Activity] [LLVM-542] Compiling zephyr with clang - Prepared for presentation/discussion with colleagues at Connect next week. - Made the installation process a bit more repeatable - Added support for -Oz [Intel-CET] patches to LLD (similar to BTI) - Code-owner has redesigned the patches and they look a lot better and more likely to go in. Shouldn't be too difficult to build BTI on top of. [LLVM-523] .ARM.exidx redesign - Now committed, and has stuck for at least a day without needing to be reverted. Linaro Connect - Preparations for hack room - Gave dry run of presentation for Doughnuts. Will need to cut out some material to get through in time. Next week: At Linaro Connect Then at EuroLLVM Then most likely on holiday for remainder of that week.

Cross compiling QEMU for aarch64

by Rohit Khanna

Hi, I am trying to cross-compile QEMU for aarch64 target using the below toolchain http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2016.02/aarch6… ../configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vhost-net --cross-prefix=~/Downloads/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- ERROR: pkg-config binary '/home/rokhanna/Downloads/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config' not found QEMU - https://github.com/qemu/qemu Any pointers on where I can find pkg-config?

Re: Cross compiling QEMU for aarch64

by Rohit Khanna

Thanks Wookey and Richard. I was able to resolve the pkg-config issue after installing it with - apt install pkg-config-aarch64-linux-gnu I modified my configure command to below - ./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vhost-net --cross-prefix=aarch64-linux-gnu- Now I am running into dependency issue on glib-2.4 and gthread-2.0. rokhanna@rokhanna-dev ~/dev/qemu.git $ ./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vhost-net --cross-prefix=aarch64-linux-gnu- ERROR: glib-2.40 gthread-2.0 is required to compile QEMU Thanks Rohit ________________________________ From: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson(a)linaro.org> Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2019 9:31 PM To: Rohit Khanna; linaro-toolchain(a)lists.linaro.org Cc: Santosh Shukla Subject: Re: Cross compiling QEMU for aarch64 On 3/21/19 4:45 PM, Rohit Khanna wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to cross-compile QEMU for aarch64 target using the below toolchain http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2016.02/aarch6… > > > ../configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu --enable-kvm --enable-vhost-net --cross-prefix=~/Downloads/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- > > ERROR: pkg-config binary '/home/rokhanna/Downloads/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config' not found First, "--cross-prefix=aarch64-linux-gnu-". It is a prefix, not a path. You should have "$HOME/Downloads/gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin" in your path in order to use that compiler. Second, pkg-config is not part of a toolchain, but part of an entire OS distribution. If your host is debian or ubuntu, they ship a version configured for aarch64 cross-compilation. Which is helpful because... Third, you're going to need a *lot* of aarch64 libraries in order to build QEMU. This is where OS support for cross-toolchains is key. r~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 28 Mar

by Peter Maydell

Progress: (short week, 3 days) * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + reviewed a few patchsets that had been lurking in my queue too long + trawled through the QEMU bug system for bugs we'd already fixed and forgotten to close, bugs which need more info from the submitter, and bugs which were very easy to fix + various other release related work * Preparation for Connect next week thanks -- PMM
