GCC 4.6 Upgrade Plan

by Andrew Stubbs

Hi All, The GCC 4.6 Upgrade plan can be found here: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/GCCUpgradePlan The plan describes how we should commit "upstream" patches while the FSF trunk is closed, and what we plan to use 4.6 for. Andrew

Created a Google docs spreadsheet to help visualise the benchmark results. The graphs are not very informative yet - too many lines and too much noise. I'm going to have to revisit them. Continued trying to build Android. The toolchains build fine, but Android itself complains about -Werror, and there are a few other real errors too. Considering I was told it built fine with GCC 4.6 and all I needed to do was tweak 4.5 to match, I'm not terribly impressed. I'm sinking too much time into fixing up Android, and I haven't even got to looking at the compiler trouble. Alexander Sack has said he will try to get me to a more appropriate starting place (I think), so I'll see what happens there. Discussed my maddhidi4 patch with Richard E (wearing his GCC ARM maintainer hat). He's not convinced that my change won't make something else produce worse code. I can't prove that it won't either, so I'm going to have to revisit it. Wrote up the GCC 4.6 branch policy and upgrade plan.

SPEC Tried to track down what was going on with lbm; it doesn't seem to be repeatable on canis1; I'd previously seen it fail at O1 and work at O0 and tried to chop down the flags between the two; but after adding all the flags back in on top of -O0 it still worked and then I tried -O1 again and it worked. Going to try on another machine, but it might be uninitialised data somewhere. Panda Our panda arrived; it's now happily nestling near our Beagles and running the 0126 headless snapshot (with 0127 hwpack). It seems fine except for rather slow USB and SD IO. Tip: Panda's do absolutely nothing (no LEDs, no serial console activity) unless you put an SD card in with the firmware on. Libffi Wrote the changes for armhf. Tested on arm, armhf, i386, ppc and s390x - all happy. (Not too unsuspectingly variadic calls just work on everything other than armhf without the api change) Mailed Python CType list asking how much of a pain the API change will be and any hints on what might be affected. Awaiting sign off for submission of code. Optimised library routines Looked at benchmarking 'git'; I'd seen previous discussions where it had been pointed out that it spends a lot of time in library routines; and indeed it does spend useful amounts in memchr, memcpy and friends on a simple git diff v2.6.36 v.2.6.37 > /dev/null of the current kernel tree produces a useful ~25second run. One interesting observation is that the variation in the times reported by 'time' - i.e. user, system and real, the variation in user+system is much less than either user or system individually and is quite stable (within ~0.7% over 10 runs). I've just tried preloading my memchr routine in and it does get a consistent 1-1.2% improvement which does look above the nice. Also asked on libc-help list for suggestions as to other benchmarks people actually trust to reflect useful performance increases in core routines as opposed to totally artificial ones. Dave

== GCC == * Internal ARM tasks that kept me busy for some time this week. * Reworked the divmodsi4 patch based on comments. Still some test failures that need to be investigated. * Started working on the performance improvement plan for GCC 4.5. * Number of patch reviews upstream. * Looking at A9 memset issue. . * Got an internal bug report about the 4.4 tools from someone using it which had to do with a missing backport. This is now lp:709329. Backported and testing. * Backported a missing upstream patch into GCC 4.5 for bswap patterns. * Wrote up on how to cross-test with qemu and updated that on the Linaro wiki. Comments are welcome. Plans: * Find out the default number of iterations needed for steady state with EEMBC. * Finish testing fix for lp:709329 and get that committed. * Finish off divmodsi4 patch and get it's testing completed and finished. * Submit backport for bswapsi at Os fix (PR44392) for gcc-linaro * Finish the plan for GCC performance improvements based on what we discussed at the sprint. * Away 2-1/2 days next week for an internal engineering conference.

This week ========= - On other IBM duties until today. Now finished! - Looked at the neon failures that Peter reported. I'm testing patches for the ICE and the "must be a constant" error now. - In the background, I've been trying to pin down the chromium build failure. I can only reproduce it when running under dpkg-buildpackage: if I run the link line manually, it works. This is reminiscent of a problem that Dave saw elsewhere: the linker segfaulted only when run through the normal build system. Next week ========= - Bernd Schmidt has committed our combined patch for #695302. Will backport to our sources. - Submit the neon fixes above. - More on STT_GNU_IFUNC. There are some more tests I want to write. Richard
