[ACTIVITY] Week 11

by Renato Golin

== Progress == * Ill until Thusrday due to Chinese food allergy/intolerance/poisoning - Seems I'm not the only one... * EHABI - Adding a few more EH tests to test-suite - Integration with ARM compiler better handled by ARM - Plugging -fno-unwind-tables to disable EH tables in ARM * Android - Implementing __builtin___clear_cache in LLVM - Need to add parsing to Clang later, and docs to LangRef * AArch64 - Tested a "fix" on sphereflake, didn't work - Seems the problem is the sin() results on glibc variants - We might need to round the result a bit shorter to make it work everywhere * Time - CARD-862 8/10 - Others 2/10 == Plan == * Continue ___builtin__clear_cache implementation * Continue RT and AArch64 test-suite investigation

build errors

by JustinGuo＠via-alliance.com

Dear Linaro toolchain support team: I am Justin Guo from S3 graphics Inc. I am studying linaro's big-little codes and is using TC2 Platform. I used ./linaro_kernel_build_cmds.sh to build kernel, I got no problem when I set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y to build for kernel. However, When I trace kernel, the traced line in source code level is jumping up/down, so I tried to turn off the optimization. After modified Makefile as below to turn off optimization: ifdef CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Os $(call cc-disable-warning,maybe-uninitialized,) else KBUILD_CFLAGS += -O0 endif I got errors when build linaro kernel for TC2: root@ubuntu:/home/justinguo/linaro/1309# ./linaro_kernel_build_cmds.sh Directory linaro-kernel exists. If the kernel code exists in this directory you may continue without cloning the git repository for the kernel. Are you sure you want to do this? (y/n) y M Makefile HEAD is now at dafe325...

Call for testing QEMU aarch64-linux-user emulation

by Alex Bennée

Hi, After a solid few months of work the QEMU master branch [1] has now reached instruction feature parity with the suse-1.6 [6] tree that a lot of people have been using to build various aarch64 binaries. In addition to the SUSE work we have fixed numerous edge cases and finished off classes of instructions. All instructions have been verified with Peter's RISU random instruction testing tool. I have also built and run many packages as well as built gcc and passed most of the aarch64 specific tests. I've tested against the following aarch64 rootfs: * SUSE [2] * Debian [3] * Ubuntu Saucy [4] In my tree the remaining insns that the GCC aarch64 tests need to implement are: FRECPE FRECPX CLS (2 misc variant) CLZ (2 misc variant) FSQRT FRINTZ FCVTZS Which I'm currently working though now. However for most build tasks I expect the instructions in master [1] will be enough. If you want the latest instructions working their way to mainline you are free to use my tree [5] which currently has: * Additional NEON/SIMD instructions * sendmsg syscall * Improved helper scripts for setting up binfmt_misc * The ability to set QEMU_LOG_FILENAME to /path/to/something-%d.log - this is useful when tests are failing N-levels deep as %d is replaced with the pid Feedback I'm interested in ========================== * Any instruction failure (please include the log line with the unsupported message) * Any aarch64 specific failures (i.e. not generic QEMU threading flakeiness). If you need to catch me in real time I'm available on #qemu (stsquad) and #linaro-virtualization (ajb-linaro). Many thanks to the SUSE guys for getting the aarch64 train rolling. I hope your happy with the final result ;-) Cheers, -- Alex Bennée QEMU/KVM Hacker for Linaro [1] git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git master [2] http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/13.1/appliances/ope… [3] http://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap/rootfs/debian-unstable-arm64.tar… [4] http://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap/rootfs/saucy-arm64.tar.gz [5] https://github.com/stsquad/qemu/tree/ajb-a64-working [6] https://github.com/susematz/qemu/tree/aarch64-1.6

linking AArch64 ELF image with aarch64-linux-gnu-ld yields RELASZ = 0

Hello, I am building an ELF image using aarch64-linux-gnu-ld from linaro: GNU ld (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2014.02 - Linaro GCC 2014.02) 2.24.0.20131220 I am linking in the libstc++.a, which contains in particular a GOT entry for __gthread_active_ptr that is of interest to me, pointing to __pthread_key_create, used for detecting pthread support for std::thread, and while I get the relocations for the GOT itself in a .rela.dyn section, and a nice pointer to it from the dynamic section (RELA), the dynamic RELASZ entry contains zero: Here is the comparison of the Dynamic section (note RELASZ) with the following .rela.dyn relocations: loader.elf: file format elf64-littleaarch64 loader.elf architecture: aarch64, flags 0x00000112: EXEC_P, HAS_SYMS, D_PAGED start address 0x00000000400b0000 Program Header: LOAD off 0x0000000000000000 vaddr 0x0000000040090000 paddr 0x0000000040090000 align 2**16 filesz 0x0000000000407084 memsz 0x00000000004aa504 flags rwx TLS off 0x0000000000407080 vaddr 0x0000000040497080 paddr 0x0000000040497080 align 2**3 filesz 0x0000000000000004 memsz 0x0000000000000580 flags rw- DYNAMIC off 0x0000000000001000 vaddr 0x0000000040091000 paddr 0x0000000040091000 align 2**3 filesz 0x0000000000000120 memsz 0x0000000000000120 flags rw- EH_FRAME off 0x00000000003ce5fc vaddr 0x000000004045e5fc paddr 0x000000004045e5fc align 2**2 filesz 0x000000000000bae4 memsz 0x000000000000bae4 flags r-- NOTE off 0x0000000000000000 vaddr 0x0000000000000000 paddr 0x0000000000000000 align 2**3 filesz 0x0000000000000000 memsz 0x0000000000000000 flags --- Dynamic Section: NEEDED dummy-shlib.so INIT_ARRAY 0x00000000404841b8 INIT_ARRAYSZ 0x0000000000000330 HASH 0x000000004044bd58 STRTAB 0x00000000403e3320 SYMTAB 0x00000000403a4110 STRSZ 0x0000000000068a33 SYMENT 0x0000000000000018 DEBUG 0x0000000000000000 RELA 0x00000000404780c0 RELASZ 0x0000000000000000 RELAENT 0x0000000000000018 private flags = 0: ... 10 .rela.dyn 00002058 00000000404780c0 00000000404780c0 003e80c0 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA ... and now the .rela.dyn.relocations from aarch64-linux-gnu-readelf -r loader.elf : Relocation section '.rela.dyn' at offset 0x3e80c0 contains 345 entries: Offset Info Type Sym.

Trouble executing ARM code on linaro toolchain

by Vishwanath C

Hi all, We are using Linaro 13.03 toolchain(gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.03-20130313_linux We are trying to execute a simple test code to check whether ARM assembly code executes on board or not. Execution is on Arndale Board. Every time We include assembly function, We get segmentation fault. Kindly check if I We are missing any arm related flags in makefile. We have attached the 'helloworld' test code and makefile.

RE: detecting the linaro toolchain via C/C++ preprocessor

by Vermeulen, Michiel

If your code is sensitive to the size of long long, can you use the predefine: __SIZEOF_LONG_LONG__ If that doesn't work, then you can use: gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null to tell you what predefines a gcc compiler has (I would probably look for predefines more specific to what your code is sensitive to than look for a particular compiler). I also wonder a little about your original problem statement since "%lld" should be a way to always print "long long" and if you have a matched set of compiler and library, then it should adjust both together. If you are using "%ld" instead, this works in situations where "long" is the same size as "long long" but may not work when these are different sizes. --mev, Mike Vermeulen

detecting the linaro toolchain via C/C++ preprocessor

by Isidor Zeuner

Hi there! On Linaro gcc 4.6, I am facing an issue due to "long long" integers not being 64 bit as they are on other platforms I'm targeting, which causes different issues, most importantly with printf format strings. I am now circumventing these by using the C/C++ preprocessor in order to choose the right format strings. In order to minimize the necessity for users to manually configure things, I'm wondering if there is a way to detect the Linaro gcc compiler through preprocessor macros. Is this possible? Thanks. Best regards, Isidor
