Hi Ulrich,
Before I build the cross compiler for ARM target I do a bootstrap
process of an i686 compiler on the same code base to use that one
building the cross compiler to reduce the chance of seeing subtle
problems late in the game. This process unveiled a x86 bootstrap
regression with some of your changes on the Linaro 4.7 branch.
It all boils down to the following set of changes you did:
commit c904094f2421bbd5d2cab6d7fbccecf055509629
Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com>
Date: Mon Jul 16 16:31:58 2012 +0200
Update to exactly reflect upstream version.
commit bf378903a1b749b904ae64635182e7fc9b43e0e4
Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com>
Date: Tue Jul 10 15:46:51 2012 +0200
Fix backport.
commit e0c3b0a21916ffafc058cd88d82423d87ce77b50
Author: Ulrich Weigand <uweigand(a)de.ibm.com>
Date: Mon Jul 9 22:52:10 2012 +0200
Fix LP 1020601.
This is the introduction of optimize_unreachable in gcc/tree-ssa-ccp.c.

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
Note, that the --disable-checking is essential to reproduce. As soon
as you do --enable-checking the bootstrap completes successfully. I
would assume that you then still have the bug in the compiler but it
is just subtle enough not to be triggered then.
Reverting your mentioned changes fixes this problem.
If you need further information about my environment to reproduce the
problem feel free to contact me.
Greetings,
Robert

This patch provides support to detect the host architecture in
configure.in use the detected architecture to conditionalize parts of
the Makefile.am. The intention is that we retain a single top level
Makefile which contains rules relevant to all supported architectures,
each gated by the AM_CONDITIONAL infrastructure.

Folks, In preparation for adding aarch64 string functions into
cortex-strings, I'd like feed back on the following series of patches.
1/5 Trivial whitespace cleanups.
2/5 Autotools foo for cross building support.
3/5 Autotools foo for architecture detection.
4/5 Missing LDADD and CFLAGS setting.
5/5 Use --std=gnu99
I'm particularly interested in views on 3/5. This patch sets
direction for autoconf detection of the host architecture. The
intention is that we retain the single toplevel Makefile.am which
gains AM_CONDITIONAL support for the detected host triple.
The aarch64 specific code will follow in a different patch set.
Cheers
/Marcus
Hi,
the issue seems indeed to be introduced by r193959 and fixed in
r194161, as it is reported in:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55571
Unfortunately, my merge attempt was at r190461 :(
I redo the merge...
Yvan
Summary:
* Validate RM toolchain, Linaro QENU 2012.12 and Linaro aarch64 2012.11.
* Collect performance data for different branch cost.
Details:
* Validate RM toolchain release.
* Set up test environment with the help of Michael and validate Linaro
QEMU 2012.12 release.
* Validate aarch64 toolchain 2012.11. From 2012.12, it will be
released regularly like arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain.
* Collect denbench and spec2000int performance data for branch cost tuning.
* Investigate how to do copy propagation for shrink-wrap to optimize
453.povray benchmark. Will reuse current codes in pass_cprop_hardreg.
Plans:
* Performance reports for branch cost tuning.
* Fix README issue (lp:1068402) in Linaro crosstool-ng.
Best regards!

Hi all，
I am a rookie, and now I'm focusing on ARM virtualization. As we know,KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution. KVM-Autotest is a set of virtualization tests for X86 platform, but it may not be suitable for ARM.I want to know, in the linaro , what tools can protect the KVM and qemu quality ? Thanks and Regards,Qun Chen
