[ACTIVITY] 27th June - 1st July

by Asa Sandahl

* Got introduced to most of the team members - great! * My manager fixed a linaro laptop for med which I have installed with Natty. (This is very good since I cannot run as root on my STEricsson laptop. There are also other security restrictions that makes it very hard to work in Linaro.) * Started working a little bit with the Snowball board. I have managed to flash it using the "riff" tool. * Read through the material about SPEC2000. * I have borrowed a Panda board that I can use for the next two weeks. A question that popped up is how to get one from Linaro? * I will be on vacation 18th July - 15 August Best regards Åsa

No usb on omap3: 4.6 toolchain issue?

by Paolo Pisati

It all started with this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/791552 basically, switching toolchain from 4.5 to 4.6, somehow broke usb on omap3. This morning i tested with linux-linaro-natty: [flag@newluxor linux-linaro-natty]$ git log --oneline -1 f15fd8f LINARO: Linux-linaro-2.6.38-1002.3 and i can reproduce the problem there too. Here is some more info (dmesg, toolchain, lsusb, etcetc): http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/620786/ -- bye, p.

Fwd: [Bug gas/12931] ARM: gas fails to set the proper alignment on code sections, causing broken output

by Dave Martin

See the following commit in binutils trunk. If this is causing problems in other places, it could be worth considering for backport into the linaro tools.

iDCT implementation in GCC NEON intrinsics, for your perusal

by Michael K. Edwards

Here's an implementation of an 8x8 integer DCT done with NEON intrinsics -- essentially a translation of the assembly version in libjpeg-turbo trunk: https://github.com/mkedwards/crosstool-ng/blob/master/patches/libjpeg-turbo… It is in a compilable (on Linaro 2011.05 GCC 4.5, anyway; a recent Linaro 4.6 snapshot ICEs) but otherwise untested state. Still, it's interesting to compare the assembly that it generates against the hand-written version. I thought I'd give linaro-toolchain a heads-up in case y'all could use a test case that generates plenty of pressure on the VFP/NEON register bank. (I intend to use it to see how much performance difference there really is, on the A8 and A9, between NEON code compiled for 16 vs. 32 registers.) Cheers, - Michael

Added an ARMv5E board

by Michael Hope

I've added a pico-SAM9G45 board to my home office setup. It's called libra1 and runs Debian 6.0. The nice thing about this board is it has 256 MB of RAM and should be able to run SPEC 2000. I'll start using it to check that our GCC changes don't cause significant performance regressions on earlier architectures. Dave, you could use it to test the 64 bit primitives if you want. There's more information on the configuration at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~michaelh1/+junk/hardware/view/head:/libra/r1/R… -- Michael

GCC cross compilation help: [cannot compute suffix of object files]

Hello, I tried to build the gcc-linaro cross compiler tool on the x86_64 ubuntu-10.04 machine. The build and host machine is the x86_64 ubuntu-10.04, the target is arm-eabi.

[ACTIVITY] 20th - 24th June

by Andrew Stubbs

Continued work on widening multiplies. Finally got a point where I have something I'm happy to post upstream! Posted here: http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg08720.html Richard Guenther reviewed one of the patches, and found a flaw, so I've been working on addresssing that. Booked hotel for August sprint. ---- Upstream patched requiring review: * NEON scheduling patch http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-02/msg01431.html * Widening Multiplies 1/7 http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg08721.html * Widening Multiplies 2/7 http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg08723.html * Widening Multiplies 3/7 http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg08724.html * Widening Multiplies 4/7 http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg08725.html * Widening Multiplies 5/7 http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg08726.html * Widening Multiplies 6/7 http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg08727.html * Widening Multiplies 7/7 http://www.mail-archive.com/gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org/msg08728.html

[ACTIVITY] 2011-06-24

by David Gilbert

== Atomics == * Testing the libgcc fallback code with Nicholas's kernel patch - and then fixing my initialisation code to use init_array's (thanks Richard for the hint) * Tidying stuff up after a review of my patch by Richard - the sync.md is now smaller than the original before I started. * Discussing sync semantics with Michael Edwards - he's spotted that the gcc ARM sync routines need to move their final memory barrier for the compare-exchange case where the compare fails. * Looking at valgrind; it looks like it should be OK with the commpage changes; but it doesn't currently support ldrexd and strexd; there is a patch for it to do ARM mode but not thumb yet.
