by Christophe Lyon

== Progress == * GCC trunk cross-validation (CARD-647) (5/10) - fixes to email-driven robot, now generating html reports - trouble shooting transcient problems with the compute farm - added a57+crypto FPU configuration, still under test - added libstdc++ reports * AArch64 libsanitizer (TCWG-58) - Started looking at results. Different errors when running on HW and under QEMU (where it goes in an infinite loop) * Misc (meetings, conf-calls, ...) 3/10 - 4.7-2014.06 branch merge completed. - 4.9 backports reviews - trouble shooting connexion to tcwgXXX boards == Next == * GCC cross-validation - more fixes and enhancements - continue testing of the email robot * Neon intrinsic tests: - discuss with upstream * AArch64 libsanitizer: - investigate generated code and cause for infinite loop * Make 4.7-2014.06 final release

Issue with LPAE in Linux kernel

by Taras Kondratiuk

It seems we have an issue with 4.8 toolchain. Recent Linux kernels (v3.15, v3.16) fails to boot on TI Keystone 2 SoC with LPAE enabled if built by gcc 4.8, while they boots fine if built by 4.6, 4.7 or 4.9. Linux kernel versions used for testing: - 3.15, 3.16 - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 4.8 toolchain binaries: http://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-a… 4.9 toolchain binaries: http://releases.linaro.org/14.05/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-a… Our current investigation results: 1) The issue happened somewhere inside function arch/arm/mm/mmu.c -> paging_init(). 2) At the moment when paging_init() -> kmap_init() function is called the value of static structure "init_mm" become corrupted and (&init_mm)->pgd has changed its value from 0xc0003000 to 0xe2411001. 2.1) "init_mm" is initialized statically in mm/init-mm.c and not modified by code struct mm_struct init_mm = { .mm_rb = RB_ROOT, .pgd = swapper_pg_dir, .mm_users = ATOMIC_INIT(2), .mm_count = ATOMIC_INIT(1), .mmap_sem = __RWSEM_INITIALIZER(init_mm.mmap_sem), .page_table_lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(init_mm.page_table_lock), .mmlist = LIST_HEAD_INIT(init_mm.mmlist), INIT_MM_CONTEXT(init_mm) }; 2.2) The below debugging code produces following log output: [ 0.000000] cma: CMA: reserved 16 MiB at 2e800000 [ 0.000000] Memory policy: Data cache writealloc [ 0.000000] ==== map_lowmem c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== dma_contiguous_remap c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== devicemaps_init c06ecc08 c0003000 [ 0.000000] ==== kmap_init c06ecc08 e2411001 [ 0.000000] Unhandled fault: alignment fault (0x221) at 0xe2411011 Debugging code: void __init paging_init(const struct machine_desc *mdesc) { void *zero_page; build_mem_type_table(); prepare_page_table(); pr_err("==== map_lowmem %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); map_lowmem(); pr_err("==== dma_contiguous_remap %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); dma_contiguous_remap(); pr_err("==== devicemaps_init %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); devicemaps_init(mdesc); pr_err("==== kmap_init %p %p\n", &init_mm, (&init_mm)->pgd); kmap_init(); pr_err("==== tcm_init\n"); 2.3) Most of functions called by paging_init() are static and get inlined. If 'static' modifier is removed from devicemaps_init() (so it will not be inlined by compiler), the issue disappears and kernel boots fine. 2.4) The same kernel binary boot fine if LPAE is disable. Does it make sense to file a toolchain bug? === Log === Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

= Progress == * Went to UK VISA office and submitted application and bio metrics (2/10) * Tried Installing chrubuntu on chromebook. But failed and later found that SD card issue. Given SD card back in office for replacement. Installed crouton and other packages for building gcc and testing gcc testsuites (1/10) * Reload spill failure (bug fix) on armhf target (3/10) Tested conservative patch that prevent ior_scc_scc patterns for thumb2 target using chrome book. Thumb2 compare condition test cases fails. Found that these test cases using constants for operands 2 and 5. Change conservative patch to allow constant operands for thumb2 target in ior_scc_scc patterns. Testing is in progress. * LTO experiments (2/10) Drilling down ICE with LTO on GCC 4.9 branch. * Misc (1/10) - 1-1 meetings (Ryan, Christophe) (0.5/10) - AMD internal support work and meetings (0.5/10) * Installed some packages and tested christophe libsantizer patch on hardware (1/10) == Plan == * Continue bug fixing. * LTO bootstrap failure
