[ACTIVITY] 3x3 for week ending 6th December 2019

by Peter Smith

Morello: - Static linking patches committed to merge branch. - Dynamic linking patches up for review. - Agreed definition of what LLD for stage-1 looks like. - Discussions on what linker and ABI work is likely to be needed for stage-2. Linaro: Some LLD thunk/patch generation problems https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44071 for a gigantic build of Chromium > 260 Mb .text section on AArch64. Diagnosed problems but will need to fix next week. Some support for ClangBuiltLinux with respect to some integrated assembler compatibility with GNU as. Buildbot duty. Pretty quiet, attempted to reproduce some timeouts seen on the LNT generate cmake. 3 minutes on an lightly loaded machine, exceeding 20 minutes in some cases on the heavily loaded buildbot host. Seems to have resolved itself with the latest container update. - Some changes to BTI for the Android team. All committed upstream. -- Adding PT_GNU_PROPERTY support. -- Increasing alignment of .note.gnu.property section to 8. Holiday - On holiday from Monday 16th to 3rd January inclusive. Back in office January 6th.

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 6 Dec

by Peter Maydell

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - code review (have had a go at cutting down the backlog; down to six patchsets in my queue...): + reviewed the 'clock framework API' patchset; this is looking good, the only major question to sort out is what the right internal representation for the clock frq/period is + Paolo's series to add kernel-doc support to our Sphinx setup (which is a mashup of something I hacked together ages ago and more recent work from him) + RAS memory error support for KVM guests (mostly reviewing the easy bits and noting that others have provided code review comments on the rest) + reviewed RTH's MemTag emulation series + reviewed the bits of RTH's VHE series that Alex hadn't got to + tested an arm/acpi patchset from Huawei from March which had unfortunately fallen through the cracks. It failed 'make check' so they'll need to fix and resubmit :-( - release work: + we needed an rc4 + and it looks like we'll need an rc5 for one last important bugfix; I'm hoping we can do an rc and then actual release a few days later, though thanks -- PMM

coresight drivers access from syscall interface

by zied guermazi

hi,I started implementing GDB process record and replay with ARM CoreSight as described in the rfc published early this year. Current implementation of coresight tracing in Perf is based on the sysfs interface, by accessing /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm ... file. GDB implementation of bts and ipt is based on the syscall "sys_perf_event_open".it would be nice to use the similar mechanism for realizing similar functionalities. therefore I would like to know if linux kernel (with coresight deivers) is exposing coresight drivers through the syscall sys_perf_event_open and if this is the case how shall I configure the perf_event_attr to use it. thanks Zied Guermazi

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release GCC 7.5-2019.12

by Maxim Kuvyrkov

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 7.5-2019.12 Release is now available. *Notice*: GCC 7.1 ABI change for arm*-*-* targets, and note for aarch64*-*-* targets From GCC 7.1 release notes: On ARM targets (arm*-*-*), a bug introduced in GCC 5 that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS) has been fixed. The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. This is an ABI change. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 GCC 5 and GCC 6 releases will continue to be affected by the ABI bug, since changing ABI in these releases is not practical. A warning enabled by -Wpsabi option was added to GCC 5 and GCC 6 toolchains to diagnose codebases that might be affected by the ABI bug. Additionally, this same bug was present in AArch64 backend in development versions of GCC 7. There was no releases of GCC with this bug present in AArch64 backend, therefore the release notes does not mention this. However, be advised that any code bases built with development versions of GCC 7 need to be recompiled with released version of GCC 7 to conform to ABI.
