== Progress == * Completed investigation of GDB dwarf test suite failures on ARM. Almost all failures will be fixed with small updates to test cases assembly language files. * Checked-out GDB 7.6 branch and did comparison of dwarf test case failures on arm. Some test cases have been updated already and dont need a patch. * Started filtering GDB test suite results on ARM for possible failures due to assembly language incompatibility. * Tried some experimentation with cbuild, and ec2 instances only to find out they are not connected with lab. * Completed Ireland Visa process. Spent Friday and most part of Thursday for the documents attestation, fee submission and postage stuff. *** Still No blue-print available to log work in JIRA. == Plan == * Filter all arm assembly language compatibility updates required to gdb test suite and create a patch. * Get an intro to gdb patch submission process for a possible fix to gdb test suite for arm assembly compatibility. * Start looking into gdb.mi test suite failures on arm. * Fill up the arm native vs arm remote comparison sheet. * Figure out a way to use hackbox for gdb testing on arm.

== Summary == - http://cards.linaro.org/browse/TCWG-13 - performance regression is due to alignment of function. - there is an increase in runtime of core_state_transition even though there is no difference in the code generated with the patch - Adding nops seems to improve the locality and performance; it gets better than without the patch for THUMB2. - Get spec2000 results for http://cards.linaro.org/browse/TCWG-14 to decide on the next step - Couldn’t get SPEC2000 results with CBUILD - set-up spec benchmarks in chromebook and now running locally. - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+spec/better-end-of-loop-counte… - Initial investigation shows that the code generated is same as expected. == Plan == - http://cards.linaro.org/browse/TCWG-13 - follow it up - Get spec2000 results for http://cards.linaro.org/browse/TCWG-14 to decide on the next step - Look for improvement in VRP for zero/sign extension

http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/helpers/recent ISE today

by Matthew Gretton-Dann

All, http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/helpers/recent was reporting an Internal Server Error earlier today, and after looking at the logs the resultant cause was because the gcc-4.8+svn198079 Lava job (https://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/scheduler/job/52224) decided that it was an a9 (as opposed to a9hf) job and that it didn't no which version of Ubuntu it was running on. The caused the logs to be put in http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/build/gcc-4.8+svn198079/logs/armv7l--cb… The tcwg-web app then fell over because it couldn't pass the armv7l--cbuild-panda-es06-cortexa9r1 name. I fixed the issue by manually renaming the build log directory to: http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/build/gcc-4.8+svn198079/logs/armv7l-pre… And once the cron job which scans the builds had run everything now works. Actions: 1. Paul - do you mind taking a look at the build and seeing what went wrong - my initial cursory glance makes me believe its the board having heat issues causing random things to happen. 2. Paul & Matt - Looking at the code (and from something else Michael said to me last week) I think having hostnames with '-' characters in them will confuse the cbuild interface. I propose changing cbuild to do a s/-/_/g on all the hostname it reads as a workaround. I don't plan on changing actual hostnames of boards. Paul is this going to cause a problem for you in Lava?

Linaro toolchain Android linking problem redivivus

by Marius Cetateanu

Hi, Some time ago I had some problems linking my project libraries for Android using the Linaro toolchain 4.7.1 which I reported to the list: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-toolchain/2012-June/002631.html I ended up using the 4.6.x version of the compiler because I could not find a fix and I did not get any hints from the mailing list. Now I need to really switch to 4.7(for better C++11 support) but I'm pretty much having the same issue with the 4.7.3 version: E.g. System/Logging/DroidLogger.cpp.o: requires unsupported dynamic reloc R_ARM_REL32; recompile with -fPIC /home/dev/android/android_linaro_toolchain_4.7/bin/../libexec/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.7.3/real-ld: error: /home/marius/Development/ToolChains/Android/experimental_ndk/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.7.3/libs/armeabi-v7a/libsupc++.a(eh_globals.o): requires unsupported dynamic reloc R_ARM_REL32; recompile with -fPIC /home/dev/android/android_linaro_toolchain_4.7/bin/../libexec/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.7.3/real-ld: error: hidden symbol '__dso_handle' is not defined locally /home/dev/android/android_linaro_toolchain_4.7/bin/../libexec/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.7.3/real-ld: error: hidden symbol '__dso_handle' is not defined locally I'm using it with the Android NDK version r8e.

Access to ARM hardware

by Renato Golin

Hi Matt, This week I found an error in LLVM that can only be reproduced on ARM hardware, if the GCC that compiles it specifies --mcpu=cortex-a15. The error is a segfault on one of the tests compiled by that Clang/LLVM. As you can see, it's not something trivial that we'd expect people to do easily. My question is: How do we tackle this type of bug? One option is to do all the debugging and interface with the original patch author until we fix the problem. This works well for simple bugs, but in this case I'm not sure it will work. Another option was to have a board on Linaro's DMZ with no access to anything else internally, so that people could log in and debug the problem in situ. This board would have to be setup just for the debugging with a random password given only to the author of the patch and cleaned up right after the bug is fixed (to avoid external abuse). We could use the same board for LLVM, GCC, GDB, etc. but it should be easy to re-flash it to a minimum system, so that we don't spend too much time setting it up. Does anyone have a better idea? cheers, --renato

Hi, Feel free to point me at a newer toolchain. Was building the SNU OpenCL SDK native on my chromebook running ubuntu raring when I hit the following: make: Entering directory `/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/build/cpu' arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -fsigned-char -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -ftree-vectorize -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=0 -fsigned-char -fPIC -DDEF_INCLUDE_ARM -g -c -o smoothstep.o /home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/common/smoothstep.c -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/inc -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/async -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/atomic -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/common -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/conversion -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/geometric -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/integer -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/math -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/reinterpreting -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/relational -I/home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/vector -O0 -g In file included from /home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/cl_cpu_ops.h:47:0, from /home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/common/smoothstep.c:34: /home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/type/cl_ops_floatn.h: In function 'float2 operator-(float, float2)': /home/tgall/opencl/SNU/src/runtime/hal/device/cpu/type/cl_ops_floatn.h:114:1: internal compiler error: output_operand: invalid operand for code 'P' Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.
