[ACTIVITY] 6 - 10 June 2016

by Yao Qi

* One day off on Thu [2/10] # Progress # * TCWG-639, non-8-byte-aligned watchpoint is missed on aarch64. [4/10]. It is caused by limited kernel BAS support. RedHat reports this problem and posts a patch. Good to see they start to contribute to aarch64 GDB, but I don't like the patch. Spend much time writing a prototype to prove their patch is not perfect. We agree to fix this problem by extend RSP fortunately. * TCWG-333, [3/10] I follow the way how mips does, and fix some bugs. * TCWG-547, TCWG-518, blocked in upstream review. * Misc, meetings. [1/10] # Plan # * TCWG-333, TCWG-556. * Ping TCWG-547, TCWG-518. -- Yao

== Progress == o Extended Validation (4/10) - Investigate and reported Glibc/libsanitizer issue https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71445 - Looked at benchmark job issues - Discuss benchmark/lava notification mechanism o Linaro GCC (1/10) - Merged FSF GCC 5.4 branch o Upstream GCC (3/10) - ARMv8.1 libatomic investigation: seems to work fine when enabling multilib on AArch64 need to investigate completeness of the support. o Misc (2/10) * Various meetings and discussions. * Backlfip patch reviews == Plan == o Backport reviews and June snapshots o Continue libatomic o Benchmarking job fixes.

== Progress == * Validation - disk full on one builder caused problem during the validation of the long series of backports. We'll have to refine the cleanup policy. - switch to docker on-hold until the builders are upgraded * ABE - looked a bit at the gdb/gdbserver issue * Backports - used a script to process the spreadsheet and submitted all the backports that backflip was able to complete in batch mode (a lot!) - fsf-5-branch merge review * GCC - regression reports on trunk, chasing problems that occur in corner case configurations - One of the Neon intrinsics tests I committed recently wrongly executed v8 Neon code on v7 HW: I didn't catch this earlier because of a bug in qemu, promptly fixed by Peter Maydell - neon-testgen.ml removal delayed because other cleanup is desirable before (fixing neon* effective-target tests on-going) - started looking at PR 67591 (ARM v8 Thumb IT blocks deprecated) * Support - started looking at bug 2315 * Misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ...) == Next == * Validation: - patch reviews - look at disk management/cleanup * Backports - check validation results * GCC - monitor trunk regressions - fix "check_vect" guard in gcc.dg/vect tests - fix neon* effective-target - hopefully test-neongen.ml removal - pr 67591 - advsimd tests

== Progress == TCWG-607 Initial ARM port for LLD committed upstream. Hello World on an ARM with an ARM only gcc libc is possible, but not much else. TCWG-611 Initial Thumb support sent for upstream review. Interworking is possible at the BLX level but full interworking support (veneers/thunks) isn't there yet. With this patch it will be possible to do Hello World with a recent Linaro gcc release. TCWG-634 llvm-mc putting out R_ARM_THM_PC24 for B<cond>.W instead of R_ARM_THM_PC19. Simple fix now committed upstream. == Plans == Interworking thunks for lld. The existing thunk design is very simple and only supports one type of thunk per target. For interworking we need at least two (ARM to Thumb) and (Thumb to ARM). I think it might be possible to fit a basic implementation just good enough for ARMv7a to be correct into the existing mechanism, however just one more thunk type will need a more sophisticated design. Current thought is to try and implement the basic design to learn a bit more about the mechanism as it will hopefully not take too long.

Linaro GCC vs Valgrind

by William Mills

Hello, We have been using Linaro GCC 5.x[1] and valgrind. When the optimizer is turned on valgrind complains about writes beyond the current stack pointer. With the optimizer off, the problem report goes away. I have my own conclusion about what is going on but I won't bias you with it. Here are the facts: All files and logs attached as 10K tar.gz if it survives this maillist. test.c: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc,char** argv) { int i; for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) { printf("argument is %s\n", argv[i]); } return 0; } $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -march=armv7ve -marm -mfpu=neon \ -mfloat-abi=hard -mcpu=cortex-a15 -O2 -g \ -o test-fail test.c $ valgrind --leak-resolution=high --track-origins=yes \ --trace-children=yes --leak-check=full --error-limit=no \ ./test-fail arg1 arg2 arg3 ==20011== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==20011== Copyright (C) 2002-2015, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==20011== Using Valgrind-3.11.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==20011== Command: ./test-fail arg1 arg2 arg3 ==20011== ==20011== Invalid write of size 4 ==20011== at 0x10300: main (test.c:4) ==20011== Address 0xbdbfcb58 is on thread 1's stack ==20011== 24 bytes below stack pointer ==20011== 000102f8 <main>: 102f8: e3500001 cmp r0, #1 102fc: da000014 ble 10354 <main+0x5c> 10300: e16d41f8 strd r4, [sp, #-24]! ; 0xffffffe8 ^^^^^^^^ Complaint is here 10304: e1a05001 mov r5, r1 10308: e3a04001 mov r4, #1 1030c: e1cd60f8 strd r6, [sp, #8] 10310: e300748c movw r7, #1164 ; 0x48c 10314: e1a06000 mov r6, r0 10318: e3407001 movt r7, #1 1031c: e58d8010 str r8, [sp, #16] 10320: e58de014 str lr, [sp, #20] 10324: e2844001 add r4, r4, #1 10328: e5b51004 ldr r1, [r5, #4]! 1032c: e1a00007 mov r0, r7 10330: ebffffe4 bl 102c8 <printf@plt> 10334: e1560004 cmp r6, r4 10338: 1afffff9 bne 10324 <main+0x2c> 1033c: e1cd40d0 ldrd r4, [sp] 10340: e3a00000 mov r0, #0 10344: e1cd60d8 ldrd r6, [sp, #8] 10348: e59d8010 ldr r8, [sp, #16] 1034c: e28dd014 add sp, sp, #20 10350: e49df004 pop {pc} ; (ldr pc, [sp], #4) 10354: e3a00000 mov r0, #0 10358: e12fff1e bx lr Without the optimizer, the code looks different and valgrind does not issue any errors. 000103d8 <main>: 103d8: e52db008 str fp, [sp, #-8]! ^^^^^^^ Valgrind does not complain about this 103dc: e58de004 str lr, [sp, #4] 103e0: e28db004 add fp, sp, #4 103e4: e24dd010 sub sp, sp, #16 103e8: e50b0010 str r0, [fp, #-16] 103ec: e50b1014 str r1, [fp, #-20] ; 0xffffffec 103f0: e3a03001 mov r3, #1 103f4: e50b3008 str r3, [fp, #-8] 103f8: ea00000b b 1042c <main+0x54> 103fc: e51b3008 ldr r3, [fp, #-8] 10400: e1a03103 lsl r3, r3, #2 10404: e51b2014 ldr r2, [fp, #-20] ; 0xffffffec 10408: e0823003 add r3, r2, r3 1040c: e5933000 ldr r3, [r3] 10410: e1a01003 mov r1, r3 10414: e30004a4 movw r0, #1188 ; 0x4a4 10418: e3400001 movt r0, #1 1041c: ebffffa9 bl 102c8 <printf@plt> 10420: e51b3008 ldr r3, [fp, #-8] 10424: e2833001 add r3, r3, #1 10428: e50b3008 str r3, [fp, #-8] 1042c: e51b2008 ldr r2, [fp, #-8] 10430: e51b3010 ldr r3, [fp, #-16] 10434: e1520003 cmp r2, r3 10438: baffffef blt 103fc <main+0x24> 1043c: e3a03000 mov r3, #0 10440: e1a00003 mov r0, r3 10444: e24bd004 sub sp, fp, #4 10448: e59db000 ldr fp, [sp] 1044c: e28dd004 add sp, sp, #4 10450: e49df004 pop {pc} ; (ldr pc, [sp], #4) [1] 5.3-2016.02 for Yocto-project and cross-compile 5.2 on the ARM target "since Linaro hasn’t yet fixed building 5.3 from recipes yet."

== Progress == * Remove exit-on-error flag from CodeGen tests [TCWG-604] [4/10] - This is a follow-up of TCWG-592: when changing the diag handler, some of the tests started to fail, so we had to add an exit-on-error flag to preserve the old behaviour until we can fix the tests. - Patch fixing the MIR tests (PR27770) - committed upstream - Submitted a patch fixing one of the AMDGPU tests (PR27761) - in upstream review - Submitted a patch fixing the ARM test (PR27765) - in upstream review * Use git worktree in llvm helper scripts [TCWG-587] [1/10] - Minor fixes during the review, hopefully we can wrap it up soon * ARM: Do not test for CPUs, use SubtargetFeatures [TCWG-623] [3/10] - Investigated uses of isCortexA*, isSwift etc in the ARM backend - Started extracting subtarget features for the easy ones * LLVM ARM 3.8.1 [TCWG-642] [1/10] - Ran the ARM tests for the LLVM 3.8.1 release * Investigate clang-cmake-thumbv7-a15-full-sh failure [TCWG-635] [1/10] - Found patch that was causing problems, started discussion about it on the mailing list == Plan == * Remove exit-on-error flag from CodeGen tests [TCWG-604] - Address any code review comments - After committing the 2 remaining patches, we should be able to remove the flag and wrap this up * ARM: Do not test for CPUs, use SubtargetFeatures [TCWG-623] - Extract more subtarget features * OOO on Monday

== Progress == Fixed Bugs and posted patches for review - PR71281 and PR71408 PR66726 - Convert expr - Found way to handle this well and posted a patch. IPA VRP - Started with a simple implementation for intra-procedural early VRP by refactoring tree-vrp. - Still need to handle range dominance - Ran into a latent issue in tree-vrp. Looking into it. == Plan == - Follow upon remaining upstream patches - IPA VRP
