# Progress #
* TCWG-857, [7/10]
One patch is upstreamed. The rest of them are in the queue.
Upgrade juno board linux kernel to 4.2.0-rc4+ to test some
multi-arch kernel patches. It isn't easy to run that new kernel
on juno board, takes much time on this.
* Misc [3/10]. Meetings, online trainings, etc.
# Plan #
* Continue to upstream multi-arch patches.
* Some upstream patch reviews on tracepoint.

Hello guys,
I am newbie here and need your kindly help:)
When trying to use gcc-linaro-4.9 to build u-boot for ls1021atwr (ARM Cortex-A7 MPCore compliant with ARMv7-A architecture), we face issue. U-boot hangs at PCI-E.
After tracing the code, the issue is located at the line "*val = readl(addr);".
u-boot/drivers/pci/pcie_layerscape.c: ls_pcie_read_config():
if (PCI_BUS(d) == hose->first_busno) {
...
} else {
...
if (PCI_BUS(d) == hose->first_busno + 1) { #PCI_BUS(d) 1, hose->first_busno 0
ls_pcie_cfg0_set_busdev(pcie, busdev);
addr = pcie->va_cfg0 + (where & ~0x3); #pcie->va_cfg0 0x24000000, where 0xc
} else {
....
}
}
*val = readl(addr);
The gcc source we used is gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02.tar.xz<https://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.9/gcc-l…> (link<https://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.9/>) which is based on FSF GCC 4.9.3-pre+svn220525.
Meanwhile, gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.01.tar.xz<https://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.9/gcc-l…> does not have this issue.
After Bisecting, we tracked down a gcc commit:
https://git.linaro.org/toolchain/gcc.git/commitdiff/e4f9e85e8152379aef37377…

* cse.c (merge_equiv_classes): Set new_elt->cost to MAX_COST
if elt->cost is MAX_COST for ASM_OPERANDS.
(find_sets_in_insn): Fix up comment typo.
(cse_insn): Don't set src_volatile for all non-volatile
ASM_OPERANDS in PARALLELs, but just those with multiple outputs
or with "memory" clobber. Set elt->cost to MAX_COST
for ASM_OPERANDS in PARALLEL. Set src_elt->cost to MAX_COST

Before this commit, u-boot can boot up.
So any hint/suggestion? if more details needed, please feel free to tell us.
Thank you in advance.

combine pass that
folds arm_andsi3_insn/arm_cmpsi_insn to zeroextracsi_compare0_scratch
or andsi3_compare0_scratch without relying on combine.

== Plan ==
Look at libc++ / RT / unwind again see if I can reduce the errors in
both AArch64 and ARM to zero.
== Issues ==
The power cuts and the effect it had on my buildbots made me spend 3
days of my holidays to fix. Other buildbot breakages made me spend
another 2, and I couldn't wait until I was back, or it would have
wasted an entire week (as it has happened before).
In a nutshell, I can't have holidays. Yay!
