[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.09 released

by Ulrich Weigand

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of Linaro GDB 7.5. Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.09 is the first release in the 7.5 series. ***NOTE*** Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.09 is identical to the FSF GDB 7.5 release, except for the change in version number and Linaro branding, since all Linaro GDB features were already accepted upstream and are included in the FSF release as-is. Future releases in the Linaro GDB 7.5 series may include additional ARM-focused bug fixes and enhancements. The source tarball is available at: https://launchpad.net/gdb-linaro/+milestone/7.5-2012.09 More information on Linaro GDB is available at: https://launchpad.net/gdb-linaro

by Michael Hope

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the 2012.09 release of both Linaro GCC 4.7 and Linaro GCC 4.6. Linaro GCC 4.7 2012.09 is the sixth release in the 4.7 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.7.1+svn191123 release, it includes ARM-focused performance improvements and bug fixes. Interesting changes include: * Updates to GCC 4.7.1+svn191123 * Adds support for the NEON vext instruction when shuffling * Backports improvements to scheduling transfers between VFP and core registers * Backports support for the UBFX instruction on certain bit extract idioms Fixes: * PR54252 ICE with too wide alignment assertion on vectorised code * PR54212 ICE due to generating a predicated NEON vdup instruction Linaro GCC 4.6 2012.09 is the nineteenth release in the 4.6 series. Based off the latest GCC 4.6.3+svn191000 release, this is the sixth release after entering maintenance. Interesting changes include: * Updates to 4.6.3+svn191000 The source tarballs are available from: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+milestone/4.7-2012.09 https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+milestone/4.6-2012.09 Downloads are available from the Linaro GCC page on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro More information on the features and issues are available from the release page: https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/4.7/4.7-2012.09 Mailing list: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/ Questions? https://ask.linaro.org/ Interested in commercial support?

GCC 4.6.x miscompiling arm-linux (including Linaro GCC)

by Nicolas Pitre

Hello folks, FYI There is a thread on the arm-linux-kernel mailing list about a GCC bug, and the Linaro version appears to be affected as well. Here's the thread: http://news.gmane.org/group/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/thread=186563 Nicolas

Summary: * Test shrink-wrap code Details: 1. Add simple_return support in function thumb2_expand_return for shrink-wrap. Here is the make check status * One new fail is due to code size increase. We'd disable it when optimizing function for size on THUMB2. * Other new fails is due to dwarf info. Root cause is ICE at function maybe_record_trace_start gcc_checking_assert (cfi_row_equal_p (cur_row, ti->beg_row)); Here is the failed code segment: tst ... L1 push {r4} ... ldr r4, ... L1: bx lr // common simple return from two branches. Here are the results for cur_row and ti->beg_row of trace starting at L1: {cfa = {offset = 0, base_offset = 0, reg = 13, indirect = 0, in_use = 0}, cfa_cfi = 0x0, reg_save = 0x0} {cfa = {offset = 4, base_offset = 0, reg = 13, indirect = 0, in_use = 0}, cfa_cfi = 0x0, reg_save = 0x7ffff726ab70} Try gcc-linaro-4.5-2011.03. It does not generate the common bx lr. test L1 push {r4} ... pop {r4} bx lr L1: bx lr There is similar bug about it. But the fix is useless for us: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50833 Plans: * Continue shrink-wrap task. Best regards! -Zhenqiang

== Progress == * Neon vext support for builtin_shuffle: * Committed vext patch upstream, as well as a small cleanup patch. * Merged vext support into gcc-linaro/4.7 branch. * Posted upstream a follow-up patch to make vext tests support big-endian. Filed PR 54517: wrong code generation in big-endian with inline in these tests. * Updated patch to fix 3 testcases in big-endian after upstream comments. * Implement builtin_bswap16: * Posted upstream a patch to implement bswap16. Discussion on-going, to have less duplication between arm and thumb patterns. * Investigating how to make GCC catch the (x<<8)|(x>>8) construct (where x is unsigned short) and map it to rev16, like builtin_bswap16. == Next == * Continue with bswap16 support.
