== This Week ==
* LTO (4/10)
a) TCWG-666 (3/10)
- No idea where data corruption happens in ltrans with my patch,
tree value in ipa_bits gets corrupted for some reason.
- Started over with widest_int representing value and mask
- WIP new prototype patch:
http://people.linaro.org/~prathamesh.kulkarni/ipa-bits-0_1.diff
b) TCWG-548 (1/10)
- Benchmarking fails on my chromebook, input/output error,
no idea why.
* TCWG-72 (2/10)
- Rebased patch on trunk, bootstrapped on x86_64, cross tested on arm*-*-*
- Addressed comments from Ramana
- Strange issue with armv8l-unknown-linux-gnu which has hardware div
but produced call to __aeabi_idiv, maybe I screwed sth during the build.
Building from scratch doesn't reproduce the issue and patch does not
regress armv8l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.
* Misc (4/10)
- PR70920: Fix committed upstream.
- PR71078: Fix committed upstream.
- Committed r238874 to restrict pr70929-4.c for lp64 targets to avoid
fallout caused by the test-case on ilp32 targets.
- Submitted RFC patch to warn for dead calls, rejected due
to potentially false positives.
- WIP patch to fold strlen (s) eq/ne 0 to *s eq/ne 0
== Next Week ==
- Continue with TCWG-72, TCWG-548 and TCWG-666
Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble finding vreinterpretq_u64_p128 (and friends) to
help convert a polynomial. I can't find it in arm_neon.h or
arm_acle.h:
$ grep p128 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_acle.h
$ grep p128 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_neon.h
$ grep p64 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_acle.h
$ grep p64 /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/4.9/include/arm_neon.h
vmull_p64 (poly64_t a, poly64_t b)
vmull_high_p64 (poly64x2_t a, poly64x2_t b)
$
An RPI-3 with ARMv8/Aarch32 and GCC 4.9.2 has it in arm_neon.h:
$ cat /usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.9.2/include/arm_neon.h | grep
-A 4 vreinterpretq_u64_p128
vreinterpretq_u64_p128 (poly128_t __a)
{
return (uint64x2_t)__builtin_neon_vreinterpretv2diti
((__builtin_neon_ti) __a);
}
Is there another file that should be included for it? Or is there
something else I should be doing when I want to convert from a
polynomial to a type like uint64x2_t?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
Hi Everyone,
I have a HiKey running Linaro. I'm trying to build out a test case
which tests Aarch32 on Aarch64.
When I attempt to build an Aarch32 binary I experience the compile
error below. The GCC folks helped me with the Aarch32 CFLAGS, so I
believe they are correct.
$ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53
-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard test.cc -o test.exe
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’
Trying an -m32:
$ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53
-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard -m32 test.cc -o test.exe
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-m32’
And without the -mtune:
$ gcc -march=armv8-a+crc -mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8
-mfloat-abi=hard test.cc -o test.exe
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8’
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mfloat-abi=hard’
I'm obviously suffering a disconnect. I may have more problems after
the build when attempting to run the program, but I'll cross that
bridge when I encounter it.
How does one build an Aarch32 program on Aarch64?
Thanks in advance.
== Progress ==
* PR24234 - [AArch64] error in backend: fixup value out of range
[TCWG-681] [5/10]
- Wrong instruction size computed for TLS accesses
- Accepted upstream, will commit first thing next week
* [AArch64] Register all AArch64 passes [TCWG-687] [3/10]
- Cleanup that should enable us to run AArch64 passes in llc (incidentally,
this was useful for testing TCWG-681)
- Accepted upstream, will commit first thing next week
* Enable MLx Expansion pass for non-Cortex-A9 targets [TCWG-674] [2/10]
- Started playing with a code snippet so I can understand the pass better
== Plan ==
* Enable MLx Expansion pass for non-Cortex-A9 targets [TCWG-674]
- Brush up the code snippet and do some runs on a Cortex-A15 to see how it
behaves there
* Pick up another AArch64 bug from TCWG-678
* Off on Tue and Wed [4/10]
# Progress #
* TCWG-655, workaround ARM linux kernel ptrace bug on setting VFP
registers. Pedro isn't happy about the workaround, and inclined to
upgrade kernel.
* TCWG-685, GDB 7.12 release. [4/10]
Fix a bug on threads are disappeared when gdb detach. GDB gets
odd task state (disk sleep) from /proc/<pid>/status, and takes some
time understanding what does "disk sleep" mean for a thread to be
exited. Patch is being tested.
* US visa. [1/10]
Get the visa photo, finish the DS-160 form, and make an interview
appointment.
* Misc, [1/10]
# Plan #
* TCWG-685, GDB 7.12 release. More testing on aarch32.
* TCWG-655.

The Linaro Binary Toolchain
============================
The Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.05 Release 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 packages from:
http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.3-2016.05/http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.05/

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

Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.05
Linaro glibc 2.21 (linaro/2.21)
Linaro newlib 2.1.0-2014.09 (linaro_newlib-branch)

NEWS for Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.05
================================
* 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.

- Bugs
# Progress #
* TCWG-518, ARM range stepping patches. [2/10]
The last one is approved, and all patches are committed! Need to
enable range stepping and collect the performance data. Range
stepping should speed up remote debugging.
* TCWG-655, Workaround ARM linux kernel ptrace bug on setting VFP
registers. No response from upstreams.
* TCWG-333, Thumb mode function pointer assignment in GDB. [3/10]
Try a different approach, still causes regressions. I'll ask upstream
how to do it.
* TCWG-547, Change software_single_step interface to return a vector of
address. [4/10].
Patches are done, but need to figure out how to hook them together.
* TCWG-685, GDB 7.12 release. [1/10]
The release will be in Sep, and hopefully it can be done before the
Linaro Connect. Discuss on how/when to pick up 7.12 in Linaro
toolchain release. I am inclined to upgrade GDB in linaro release
from 7.11 to 7.12 in fall or winter.
# Plan #
* Off on Tue and Wed.
* GDB 7.12 release testing for ARM and AArch64.
* US visa application.

== Progress ==
TCWG-680 Some analysis on what non-compiler support would be required
for an llvm based EBC (UEFI) toolchain.
TCWG-612 ARM TLS support in LLD: Initial support and tests for
standard model upstreamed. There is still some work to be done for
corner cases where LLD's relaxations will cause assertion failures.
Static linking also needs some work as the TLS module index needs to
be written into the GOT without a dynamic relocation. I have a
prototype fix that needs cleaning up and tests written.
Did some experiments with static linking and TLS to work out what I'll
need to look at next. Discovered GNU ifunc support when static linking
is not working.
Did some thinking about what would be needed to support C++ exceptions
in LLD for ARM. This is probably the next major chunk of work as
supporting exceptions is needed when static linking against the C
library startup code.
== Plans ==
Plans for next 4 weeks:
On Sabbatical back on the 22nd August. Will probably have limited
access to email if there is anything urgent.
