All,
During Connect the suggestion was made that each working group should have
its own IRC Channel for discussions and topics relating to the group in
particular (as opposed to #linaro which is 'generic' Linaro conversations).
Therefore I have just set up #linaro-tcwg on Freenode for the Toolchain
Working Group.
This channel is public and open to anyone who wants to talk with the TCWG
group about anything toolchain related.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi All,
I don't whether this is the right community mailing list to post
support or not. Please correct me if i am wrong.
I am trying to cross compile gcc to ARM as static binaries and as part
of this, i am facing below issue. My build system is Ubuntu and using
[1] gcc branch. Let me know what i can share more information to you.

There is a patch in gcc-5 to make unified assembler syntax the
default. Unfortunately, it changes how extended asms work, which is
perhaps a bug. The message claims it doesn't affect extended asms,
but it does.
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-11/msg01196.html
The interesting bit is the change to ASM_APP_OFF.
gcc-4.9 emits a .thumb after the extended asm to switch back into
thumb mode just in case. gcc-5.3 instead emits .syntax unified, which
doesn't change the arm/thumb mode, just the syntax supported. This is
arguably a bug, but this doesn't immediately help you. It could take
a little time to get gcc-5.x source fixed, and then the compiler
binary releases. Or alternatively we could fix the asm to work with
gcc 5.

In UnwindFromContext, there is an asm that forces the assembler into ARM mode.
if (ucontext == nullptr) {
int ret = (({ unw_tdep_context_t *unw_ctx = (&context_); register unsigned \
long *unw_base asm ("r0") = unw_ctx->regs; __asm__ __volatile__ ( ".align 2\nbx\
pc\nnop\n.code 32\n" "stmia %[base], {r0-r15}\n" "orr %[base], pc, #1\nbx %[ba\
se]" : [base] "+r" (unw_base) : : "memory", "cc"); }), 0);
The ".code 32" puts us in ARM mode.
GCC still thinks that we are in thumb mode though, and continues to
emit thumb instructions, some of which have no arm mode equivalent,
e.g. cbnz and cbz.
I don't see any convenient push/pop for thumb/arm mode. This is
probably a macro expanded into the asm. You could have two versions
of the asm, one that gets used when __thumb__ is defined and one that
gets used when __thumb__ is not defined. The __thumb__ version would
switch back into thumb mode at the end with a ".thumb" pseudo-op.
Or alternatively, don't build with -mthumb.

Hi folks,
I am trying to use arm gcc 5.3 to build part of android AOSP and hit
following issue with arm gcc 5.3:

But if I use the arm gcc 4.9, there is no any build issue.
the "-dumpspecs" output of gcc 5.3 was attached. Thanks.

The Linaro Binary Toolchain
============================
The Linaro GCC 4.9-2016.02 Release is now available.
Notice: All Linaro GCC 4.9 series toolchain users should migrate to
the latest version of the Linaro GCC 4.9 toolchain in order to
mitigate potential security exposure to CVE-2015-7545. See the NEWS
section below for details.
Download release packages from:
http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.9-2016.02/http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2016.02/

Host Requirements
==================
Linaro officially supports the current and previous Ubuntu LTS
releases (as of the time of this release). This does not mean that
the toolchain will not work on other/older Linux distributions. See
the following for the life-time of Ubuntu LTS releases.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
The host system upon which the cross-compiler will run requires a
minimum of glibc 2.14, because of API changes to glibc's memcpy API.

NEWS for Linaro GCC 4.9-2016.02
================================
* The armv8l-linux-gnueabihf targetted toolchain is now built using
--with-mode=thumb (like all of the other cross toolchains) rather than
the default which is ARM mode.
* Applied fix for CVE-2015-7545 - A stack-based buffer overflow in
glibc's getaddrinfo() was corrected in glibc 2.23 and backported into
Linaro eglibc 2.19 (linaro_eglibc-2_19).

== Progress ==
* Validation
- extended validation: updated ABE patch after review
- investigating how to actually separate stdout/stderr streams in dejagnu
- still seeing random results (mostly in the sanitizers tests) in
the Cambridge lab
* GCC
- no progress on Win32-hosted toolchain bug: cannot reproduce it
from a manually built toolchain
- advSIMD/Neon intrinsics tests: cleanup on-going
- bug 2125: forwarded upstream, quickly fixed by R.Biener, backport
in progress
- Misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ...)
== Next ==
* Validation:
- more on extended validation
- random tests investigation
- more on stdout/stderr
* GCC:
- trunk monitoring, report regressions if needed
- intrinsics tests cleanup
o Easter Monday off (2/10)
== Progress ==
o Extended validation (5/10)
* Worked on benchmarking integration
* Analyzed failures due to --tarbin and --check ABE's flags
* Analyzed native AArch32 timeout (due to guality/GDB testcase)
o Misc (3/10)
* Various meetings
== Plan ==
o Continue on extended validation
o Finalize DejaGNU patches, GCC ARMv8.1 builtins fix.
