== This week == * PR49551 (2/10) - Created new patch: http://pastebin.com/PsLTgvp7 - merge_decls() calls memcpy to copy newdecl into olddecl thus overriding DECL_COMMON in olddecl which is the source of the bug. If newdecl has common/nocommon attribute set, honor it, else DECL_COMMON would be set if both olddecl and newdecl have DECL_COMMON set. - Bootstrapped on x86, tested on x86, arm - Not yet figured out why r221297 masks this bug. * TCWG-619 (4/10) - managed to build chromium LTO on ARM, requires disabling components enabled by variable 'chromium_code'. Size of chrome executable reduces by 8 mb. - the bug: "error out of range" appears only during LTO build of components enabled by chromium_code. Results in very few instances of the same error message when LTO build for chromium_code components. - Disabling LTO in sandbox.gyp and passing -flto results in following error: /tmp/ccYJJbUK.ltrans25.ltrans.o:<artificial>:vtable for blink::WebDocument [clone .lto_priv.89343]: warning: relocation refers to discarded section /home/prathamesh.kulkarni/fsf-toolchain/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/6.0.0/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld.gold: error: hidden symbol '_ZN5blink11WebDocumentD1Ev' is not defined locally Also present for x86. The workaround is to pass -flto --param lto-partitions=1 as mentioned in PR57703. - gold ICE with v8 LTO build for ARM not reproducible with master branch. - Trying to use Martin Liska's scripts for gathering build stats: https://github.com/marxin/script-misc/blob/master/system_top.py https://github.com/marxin/script-misc/blob/master/vmstat_parser.py * Misc (4/10) - Exams preparation - Visa application == Next Week == - PR49551: figure out why r221297 masks the bug, write test-cases and submit patch upstream - chromium/v8 build stats - exams

* UK bank holiday on Monday [2/10] # Progress # * arm/aarch64 gdb bug fixing [1/10]. ** TCWG-765 fails in gdb.base/coredump-filter.exp. Patch is pushed it in. ** TCWG-767, patch is pushed it in. * TCWG-805, aarch64 native debugging multi-arch support. [2/10]. Let arm use newer ptrace PTRACE_GETREGSET in order to align with aarch64. Ongoing. * Think about debugging programs on different exception levels (EL3, EL2 and EL1). Read doc about EL in aarch64. Looks they need multi-inferior debugging. Request more details. [2/10] * Misc [3/10] ** Book travel and get travel insurance. It is my first travel in ARM, familiarise myself with the travel process. ** Visa application. # Plan # * TCWG-805, aarch64 native debugging multi-arch support. * Other things needed for visa application. -- Yao

writing a new Machine Description file (e.g cortex-a57.md) in gcc

by Virendra Kumar Pathak

Hi Linaro Toolchain Group, I am new to gcc development. I am trying to write a new md file describing pipeline information for a processor. Please suggest some good reference document for understanding machine description file. Few questions from cortex-a53.md file: For first integer pipeline following is defined - (define_cpu_unit "cortex_a53_slot0" "cortex_a53") Is name cortex_a53_slot0 is a keyword or it is any general string? Is there any convention in choosing names for cpu units? If ‘cortex_a53_slot0’ a general string, how assembler knows it is first integer pipeline? How these *.md files are used? When they are compiled and how they are used? How to verify an md file for a processor is written correctly or not? How to test it? What other design consideration must be kept in mind while writing a new md file? Thanks. with regards, Virendra Kumar Pathak

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 4.9 2015.04 snapshot re-spin

by Yvan Roux

This is a re-spin of the Linaro GCC 4.9 2015.04 source package snapshot. The re-spin of this snapshot includes a new configure-time option to enable by default a workaround for Cortex-A53 erratum number 843419 and options to explicitly disable or enable it during compilation. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.9-2015.04-1 Original release notes for GCC 4.9 2015.04 snapshot: The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2015.04 snapshot of the Linaro GCC 4.9 source package. Linaro GCC 4.9 2015.04 is the first Linaro GCC source package snapshot in the 4.9 series. It is based on FSF GCC 4.9.3-pre+svn222035 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes. With the imminent release of ARMv8 hardware and the recent release of the GCC 4.9 compiler the Linaro TCWG will be focusing on stabilization and performance of the compiler as the FSF GCC compiler. The Linaro TCWG provides stable[1] quarterly releases and monthly snapshots[2]. Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include: * Linaro bugzilla PR fixed: #415, #1382, #1391 * Updates to GCC 4.9.3-pre+svn222035 * Backport of instruction scheduler improvements * Backport of [AArch64,Neon] Add patterns + builtins for vld[234](q?)_lane_* intrinsics * Backport of [AArch64] Implement fusion adrp+add/movk+movk * Backport of [AArch32] Cortex-A17 support * Backport of [AArch64] Fix __builtin_aarch64_absdi, must not fold to ABS_EXPR * Backport of PR rtl-optimization/63917 * Backport of PR tree-optimization/62178 tree-ssa-loop-ivopts * Backport of [AArch64] Add TARGET_MIN_DIVISIONS_FOR_RECIP_MUL * Backport of [AArch64] Simplify patterns for sshr_n_[us]64 intrinsic * Backport of [AArch64] Simplify+improve patterns for ushr(d?)_n_u64 intrinsic * Backport of [AArch32] Fix reservation pattern in cortex-a9-neon.md * Backport of [AArch64] Don't disparage add/sub in SIMD registers * Backport of [AArch64] Add SIMD-reg variants of logical operators and/ior/xor/not * Backport of [AArch64] Fix XOR_one_cmpl pattern; add SIMD-reg variants for BIC,ORN,EON * Backport of [AArch32] Use Cortex-A17 tuning parameters for Cortex-A12 * Backport of [AArch32] Make CLZ_DEFINED_VALUE_AT_ZERO and CTZ_DEFINED_VALUE_AT_ZERO return 2. * Backport of [AArch32] Minor optimization on thumb2 tail call * Backport of [AArch64] Update APM/XGene-1 * Backport of [AArch64] Add a new scheduling description for the ARM Cortex-A57 processor * Backport of [AArch64] Fix PR 64263: Do not try to split constants when destination is SIMD reg * Backport of [AArch64] Add support for -mcpu=cortex-a72 This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.9-2015.04 Feedback and Support Subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to stay on top of Linaro development. ** Linaro Toolchain Development "mailing list": http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain ** Linaro Toolchain IRC channel on irc.freenode.net at @#linaro-tcwg@ * Bug reports should be filed in bugzilla against GCC product: http://bugs.linaro.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GCC * Interested in commercial support? inquire at "Linaro support": mailto:support@linaro.org [1] Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed. [2] Source package snapshots are defined when the compiler is only put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed.
