Peter, could you review: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/QEMUARMGuestQ411 please? I'm interesting in anything I've missed or exaggerated. The audience is the TSC or people outside Linaro who are interested in a summary of the changes. -- Michael

Fwd: [cbuild] qemu-linaro-0~20120118+gitcc8661e armv7l completed

by Michael Hope

Hi Zygmunt. I've enabled the ARM native build on the QEMU auto builders. These are built in the validation lab on the Natty based tcpanda boards and end up on control under ~cbuild/cbuild/build/qemu-$version/qemu-$something.tar.xz. I've uploaded this build to http://people.linaro.org/~michaelh/incoming/qemu-armv7l-natty-cbuild236-tcp…. There's something wrong with embedding of the version number into the name. A quick 'does it run' test passes. Peter, could you check the configure log at: http://builds.linaro.org/toolchain/qemu-linaro-0~20120118+gitcc8661e/logs/a… and see if there's anything missing. The auto builders fire with each commit so there's always something up to date. You can list the builds at: http://ex.seabright.co.nz/helpers/buildlog/qemu and see the raw results at: http://builds.linaro.org/toolchain/qemu-linaro-0~20120118+gitcc8661e/logs/a… (after a lag) -- Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Linaro Toolchain Builder <michael.hope+cbuild(a)linaro.org> Date: Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 11:14 AM Subject: [cbuild] qemu-linaro-0~20120118+gitcc8661e armv7l completed To: "linaro-toolchain-builds(a)lists.launchpad.net" <linaro-toolchain-builds(a)lists.launchpad.net> tcpanda05 finished running job qemu-linaro-0~20120118+gitcc8661e on armv7l-natty-cbuild236-tcpanda05-cortexa9r1.

by Michael Hope

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of the Linaro Toolchain Binaries, a pre-built version of Linaro GCC and Linaro GDB that runs on generic Linux or Windows and targets the glibc Linaro Evaluation Build. This is the first release. Releases will be made each month shortly after the corresponding source release. Uses include: * Cross compiling ARM applications from your laptop * Remote debugging * Build the Linux kernel for your board What's included: * Linaro GCC 2012.01 * Linaro GDB 2011.12 * A statically linked gdbserver * A system root * Manuals under share/doc/ The system root contains the basic header files and libraries to link your programs against. The Linux version is supported on Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 11.10, Debian 6.0.2, Fedora 16, openSUSE 12.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 5.7 and later, and should run on any Linux Standard Base 3.0 compatible distribution. Please see the README about running on x86_64 hosts. The Windows version is supported on Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Vista Business SP2, and Windows 7 Pro SP1. The binaries and build scripts are available from: https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/trunk/2012.01 Need help? Ask a question on https://ask.linaro.org/ Already on Launchpad?

Re: -fsched-pressure options

I've made a front end: http://ex.seabright.co.nz/helpers/scheduler/spawn to make it a little easier to use. To spawn a benchmark run, enter a job called benchmarks-<buildname> such as benchmarks-gcc-linaro-4.6+bzr106857~rsandifo~alt-sched-pressure-4.6 and spawn it into the 'test' queue. See the page for how to change the flags and benchmarks that are run. The results end up at: http://ex.seabright.co.nz/benchmarks/ which needs the password from: https://wiki.linaro.org/Internal/ToolChain I've spawned Ulrich's job into the queue as a test run. Let's see how it goes. If it works, you can spawn the ancestor (benchmarks-gcc-linaro-4.6+bzr106856) and later do a diffbench on the results. -- Michael

Bug triaging: 739305 "[armhf] libffi variadic support"

by Asa Sandahl

Hi, I am looking at ticket 739305 "[armhf] libffi variadic support" which still has status "New" for Linaro gcc. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libffi/+bug/739305 If I understand correctly, David's patch is included in libffi in Oneiric, but not yet backported to Linaro gcc? What is the correct thing to do with this ticket for Linaro GCC? I was thinking it could be set to "Triaged", waiting for an appropriate time to backport. Regards Åsa

Linaro GCC mentioned in Phoronix article

by Christian Robottom Reis

Spotted this in a Phoronix article today: Overall it seems that most of the computational tests are performing better with the newer Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 user-space packages, which upgrades the GNU Compiler Collection to the 4.6 series over the 4.5 release found in Ubuntu 11.04. The 4.6 compiler upgrade with greater ARMv7 architecture enhancements is likely what can be attributed to most of the performance improvements found in this article. [...] See the results for yourself at: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia_tegra2_ubuntu&num… Good job, -- Christian Robottom Reis, Engineering VP Brazil (GMT-3) | [+55] 16 9112 6430 | [+1] 612 216 4935 Linaro.org: Open Source Software for ARM SoCs

[ACTIVITY] 16th - 20th January

by Andrew Stubbs

* Linaro Continued work on 64-bit multiplies. Cleaned up the patches a lot. Started testing work to check for correctness. Ironed out a few bugs. My turn for patch review week. * Other Spent most of the week in San Diego attending the formerly-known-as CodeSourcery annual meeting, now Mentor Graphics' ESD TOOLS team annual meeting.

[Activity] Week 3

by Ramana Radhakrishnan

Mostly bug hunting week with some time on Partial partial PRE. ==Progress=== * Fixed PR50313 - backport submitted to Linaro 4.6 branch for testing - Testing on FSF GCC 4.6 branch as well currently. * Followed up on PR48308 fix . No reply yet. * Triaged some of the test failures that we are currently seeing on FSF trunk. Reported a few bugs upstream which I think are now fixed. There are still too many vect failures for my liking ( nearly 30 odd unique) . Some of them are testisms and some of them probably need a bit of knowledge in the vectoriser. So could do with a hand here in case someone has some free time and needs things to look at . * Read up on Partial-partial PRE . Slow progress but getting a handle on the theory now. * Handed over the vld1 / vldm work to Uli - found another case where the compiler could do better while fixing up PR51819. Essentially in loop end code where we have cleanup code involving single elements from the vector, the backend prefers to move this to an integer register and store the value to memory which is just silly - See https://pastebin.linaro.org/385 * Fixed PR51819. Backported fix to Linaro 4.6 branch - The FSF 4.6 branch *doesn't* show this particular problem. === Plans === * Continue with partial-partial PRE . * Finish submitting PGO patch and ABI tests patch * Finish backporting PR50313 fix to the correct repositories. * Follow up on PR48308 and investigate this a bit further. * Start preparing for Connect 2012.q1 Absences. * Feb 6-10 : Linaro Connect Q1.12. * Feb 13- 18 : Holiday.

KVM tasks draft

by Michael Hope

I've taken the KVM Epic spec: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/Specs/KVMEpic and split this into a list of tasks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap7fWLePADFVdHA3cTg1R3R2U2pzZ0… Mouse over the little orange triangle to see notes on what an item means.. There's a '1' in the column of each group that a task affects. I haven't put durations down. Some things are already under way outside Linaro. Comments? Feel free to edit directly. -- Michael
