# Progress # * TCWG-1050, GDB 8.0 release. [4/10] ** Fix the new fails about the size of wchar_t on aarch64, by setting it to 4 in default. Patch is pushed to master and 8.0 branch. ** Intel btrace python api patches are ready to commit. No idea why he doesn't push yet. * TCWG-1040, Review SVE patches. [4/10] ** Review some SVE GDB patches, and approved part of them. Leave the controversial part there. Some of them are blocked by my Class-fy regcache patches. ** Class-fy regcache. Patches are approved. Will push them in later. Then, I'll update my unit test to value/register conversion gdbarch hooks, and post them next week. ** GDB target description change, the preparation for adding more hardware features, like PAUTH and SVE, and their arbitrary combinations. GDB side changes are done, and take i386-linux as an example to demonstrate the the benefit of the changes. * Misc, [2/10] ** Rebase my GDB disassembler patch, which unify the disassembler selection in both gdb and objdump. ** Explain the GDB behavior to Linaro kernel guy who is working on single-step in kgdb. ** Read some paper on dynamic slicing, and think about how to do it on GDB for aarch64/arm. # Plan # * Holiday on Monday. * Review kernel-awareness patches, * Upstream my patches about unit test to value/register conversion gdbarch hooks. * Post my GDB target description change as an RFC, collect comments, and think about the changes in GDBserver side (which is harder). -- Yao Qi

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 5.4-2017.05-rc1

by Yvan Roux

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 5.4-2017.05-rc1 Release-Candidate is now available. Notice: All Linaro GCC 5 series toolchain users should migrate to the latest version of the Linaro GCC 5 toolchain in order to mitigate potential security exposure to CVE-2015-7547. See the NEWS section below for details. Download release-candidate packages from: (sources) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.4-2017.05-rc1/ (binaries) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.4-2017.05-rc1/ Previous snapshots and release-candidates are at: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ Previous releases are at: http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ A description of the arm and Aarch64 target triples can be found at: https://collaborate.linaro.org/display/TCWGPUB/ARM+and+AArch64+Target+Tripl… 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. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1869 Package Versions ================= Linaro GCC 5.4-2017.05-rc1 http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.4-2017.05-rc1/ Linaro glibc 2.21 (linaro/2.21) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2015-02/msg00001.html Linaro newlib 2.1.0-2014.09 (linaro_newlib-branch) https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2013/msg01128.html Linaro binutils 2.25 (linaro_binutils-2_25-branch) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin… FSF GDB 7.12 (gdb-7.12-branch) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2016-10/msg00007.html Linaro toolchain package git branches are hosted at: http://git.linaro.org/toolchain NEWS for GCC 5 (as of Linaro GCC 5.4-2017.05-rc1) ================================================== * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2785: Internal compiler error using -mtune=cortex-a57.cortex-a53. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2785 * The soft-float targeted toolchains have now been configured to generate code using -mfloat-abi=soft. This makes arm-linux-gnueabi and armeb-linux-gnueabi toolchains use the “soft” FP ABI instead of “softfp”. Historically, TCWG’s toolchains provided both “soft” and “softfp” multilibs, but when switching from crosstool-ng to cbuildv2/abe (which support a single multilib) “softfp” multilib was choosen. Using “-mfloat-abi=soft” is a better choice for a gnueabi toolchain, since it doesn’t require cores to have a floating-point unit. This change should not break compatibility for toolchain users since the ABI will stay the same. The compiler and glibc libraries will not refernce FP instructions. * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2562: ARM GCC 5.2 call weak function instead of strong when called through pointer https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2562 * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #1925: [regression] FAIL: libgomp.fortran/retval1.f90 -O1 execution test https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1925 * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2185: aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ internal compiler error: in curr_insn_transform https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2185 * Backported glibc patch to simplify static malloc interposition [BZ #20432] to correct user identified issue. commit 058b5a41d56b9a8860dede14d97dd443792d064b Author: Florian Weimer Date: Fri Aug 26 22:40:27 2016 +0200 malloc: Simplify static malloc interposition [BZ #20432] * Host binaries for x86_64 linux hosts now have symbols and debug information stripped in order to reduce the size of the toolchain binary archives. This reduces the archive size from 1.1G to 580M for aarch64-linux-gnu target with the gcc-5-branch. * Removed .la files from binary toolchain archive as these files break autotools builds. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764 * The mingw toolchains are now archived using the rsync -L option in order to avoid problems with Windows extractors and symbolic links. https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16415/ This resolves the following user bugs: https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2684 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2192 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2762 * Copy the libwinpthread DLL into the bin directories so it gets into the tmp directory before tar is run. https://review.linaro.org/#/c/13723/ * Increment binutils release date to 2016_02 to reflect the most recent commit: commit ef90a4718f535cbe6345b4e7168baea7b1972abf Author: Matthew Wahab <matthew.wahab(a)arm.com> Date: Tue Jan 12 16:35:30 2016 +0000 [ARM] Support ARMv8.2 RAS extension. * Baremetal sysroot names now contain 'newlib' rather than 'glibc'. * Manifests now contain relative paths rather than absolute paths. * Now generating proper manifest files. * Fixed pi requeue support in glibc 2.21 while allowing the existing 2.21 minimum kernel default setting. This was checked into the linaro/2.21/master branch. commit a68cafa11c500d8a49a3014c43c5152859d037ae Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Tue May 17 10:16:39 2016 -0300 Add runtime check for __ASSUME_REQUEUE_PI (BZ# 18463) commit 6e5cb616b5b442ce8b2664ad673c0acf42a490ac Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Mon May 16 19:01:10 2016 -0300 Remove __ASSUME_SET_ROBUST_LIST commit 9ac61c0047295696cbcdbc26bdc174c7bd25a3c8 Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Mon May 16 10:35:25 2016 -0300 Remove __ASSUME_FUTEX_LOCK_PI * Backported support into GCC for Cortex-A32, Cortex-A35, and Cortex-R8. * Applied fix for CVE-2015-7547 - A stack-based buffer overflow in glibc's getaddrinfo() was corrected in glibc 2.23 and backported into glibc 2.21. https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00416.html * ARMv8.1 Instruction Support - ARMv8.1 instructions support was checked into GCC and binutils.

* Two days off, Mon and Tue [4/10] # Progress # * TCWG-1050, GDB 8.0 release. [2/10] 8.0 branch is created. Intel btrace python api patches are almost OK push to master and 8.0 branch. Patches should be pushed in soon. * TCWG-1040, Review SVE patches. [3/10] Write unit test to value/register conversion gdbarch hooks. C++-fy regcache so that I can easily verify the result in unit test. Still some fails, need to investigate further. They are needed to prove SVE changes are correct. * Upstream patches review [1/10] ** arm software single step patch review. There is still an open issue that the author didn't realize, that is, GDB has to understand there may be different kind of breakpoints on the same address. * Propose deprecate arm fpa support in GDB. I need to post the proposal in gdb-announce(a)sourceware.org this week, according to the deprecation process. # Plan # * Finish my unit test and post them for review (with regcache C++-fy patch). * Other issues on 8.0 release if any. -- Yao Qi

3 day week,Monday and Tuesday off Achievements: [TCWG-614] Range Thunks - No review progress, blocked on a request for some refactoring to unify the address allocation. - Reworked my downstream patch stack in light of TCWG-1088 below. - Spent some time refactoring the code to try and make it easier to follow. [TCWG-1088] Refactoring of address assignment - Committed first patch reviewed last week - Sent out first couple of patches, no response from upstream, I'm hoping this is due to maintainers being on Easter holiday. Some upstream review on ILP32 patches. Plans for next week: - 2 day week, at ACCU2017 conference Wednesday to Friday. - Respond to any upstream review comments. - Find some small tasks to do to fit in the remainder of the time. Planned Absences - ACCU2017 next week (Wednesday to Friday)
