help testing/upstreaming: [PATCH] libatomic is now supported on AArch64

by Michael Hudson-Doyle

--- Hi all, The reason for my most recent question on the list was that I was investigating if gccgo targeting aarch64 would work. It turns out that it's really close (to building and working for trivial programs, at least): it depends on libatomic which explicitly does not support AArch64, but when you try to build it, it appears to work fine. Hence this patch. Would it be possible for someone to: a) test this for me, or b) explain to me how to test it myself, and/or c) send this upstream, or d) offer advice on how to get it upstream myself? I'd sort of prefer the "explain to me" versions as I also want to run the gccgo/libgo tests :) If someone knows why libatomic unsupports aarch64, that'd be even better (maybe it's just that the sync intrinsics it uses weren't supported by gcc on aarch64 at the time?). Cheers, mwh libatomic/configure.tgt | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/libatomic/configure.tgt b/libatomic/configure.tgt index b9e5d6c..7eaab38 100644 --- a/libatomic/configure.tgt +++ b/libatomic/configure.tgt @@ -95,11 +95,6 @@ fi # Other system configury case "${target}" in - aarch64*) - # This is currently not supported in AArch64. - UNSUPPORTED=1 - ;; - arm*-*-linux*) # OS support for atomic primitives. config_path="${config_path} linux/arm posix" -- 1.8.1.2

running the tests after building a cross-gcc

by Michael Hudson-Doyle

Hi, Thanks to the advice from this list I've managed to build GCC targeting aarch64 (thanks!). Is there some way I can now run the tests in a Foundation model? I don't really know how this would work -- I guess using aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc etc to build binaries, scp them onto the model, run them and parse the output. Is this the sort of thing that people do? Cheers, mwh

[Activity] Sept week 1

by Rob Savoye

== Progress == * Started setting up a GCC git mirror on git.linaro.org. * Tweaked Cbuildv2 & Jenkins to work with GIT repositories as well as source tarballs. * Jenkins now "bootstraps" a cross compiler by building the native GCC, and then using that to compile the cross GCC. * Got aarch64-none-elf building with newlib via Cbuildv2. * Finished binary tarball release support in Cbuildv2. * Almost got Canadian crosses building via Cbuildv2. * Continued work on Jenkins/Cbuildv2 integration. * Added ccache support to Cbuildv2. * Cbuildv2 now works on Fedora as well as Ubuntu. == Plan == * Finish setting up GCC git repository with Linaro branches fetched from svn and bzr. * Add support for building source tarballs. * Continuing with Jenkins/Cbuildv2 integration. (waiting for GCC git repository to be complete) * Get Jenkins to upload binary & source tarballs to snapshots.linaro.org. * Finish getting Canadian Cross builds working in Cbuildv2. == Issues == * Still waiting for Odroid hardware to get shipped. * Waiting for git-bzr-ng to be installed on git.linaro.org. * Git-svn is incredibly slow on initial fetch. (fetching the linaro/gcc-4_8-branch has been running over 24 hours)
