Hello, - Tracking down bugs exposed while testing a patch for SMS to avoid using -fauto-inc-dec flag and preparing fixes for them. Also, prepared a fix for PR47013. - Continue looking into DENbench and updating https://wiki.linaro.org/Internal/ToolChain/Benchmarks. Thanks, Revital

[Activity] 11th - 14th April

by Ramana Radhakrishnan

== GCC == Progress: * Spent some time digging into binutils issue for Neon but still not sure why I see the problem when this is fixed in 2.21 branch and no one else see this. * Fixed PR 48090 upstream. * Some patch review. * T2 performance meeting. Plans when I'm back: * Continue looking at divmodsi4 improvements. * Continue looking at excessive VFP moves. * Backport the fix for the initialization of cgraph into FSF 4.5 branch. Meetings: * 1-1s * Linaro toolchain meeting * T2 performance. * Linaro@UDS meeting. Absences: * April 15 – 26 -> Booked. * May 9-14 - LDS Budapest

Issue with noreturn static function with unused arg

by Loïc Minier

hey This problem with busybox: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621137 seems to be a toolchain issue. It occurs with FSF GCC 4.5.2 but not 4.6, and it doesn't occur with Linaro GCC 4.5 but it does with Debian gcc-4.5. I'm trying to identify the fix which Linaro applied to solve this! :-) Michael Hope told me he remembers we fixed something similar for Qt, but he couldn't find the patch and suggested I post here to get feedback. I've pushed ash.i and .s at: http://people.linaro.org/~lool/ash.i which you can build with: gcc -save-temps -std=gnu99 -Wall -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wunused -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-function -Wunused-value -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -fno-builtin-strlen -finline-limit=0 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-guess-branch-probability -funsigned-char -static-libgcc -falign-functions=1 -falign-jumps=1 -falign-labels=1 -falign-loops=1 -g -Os -c -o ash2.o ash.i the interesting part is that ash.s has tryexec as not returning, when it does return: grep ^tryexec ash.s -A5 | grep return this seems to be due to the combination of tryexec being static, its parent being noreturn, and one argument of tryexec being unused. Any idea of which Linaro patch solved this? :-) Does it make sense to raise this to FSF GCC 4.5? Thanks! -- Loïc Minier

First toolchain estimate for the next cycle

by Michael Hope

Hi there. Mounir and I have been looking at the work for next cycle. A summary spreadsheet with notes is available here: https://spreadsheets0.google.com/ccc?key=ty1c-H56f0GxnL1Hk9LCmRg I'm very interested in feedback, especially on the time estimates and extra topics we should suggest to the TSC. See the notes at the top and feel free to add items or estimates straight into the sheet - anyone can view and anyone at Linaro should be able to edit. -- Michael

Differences in build hosts

by Michael Hope

Hi there. I ran a build of gcc-linaro-4.5+bzr99491 on ursa1 through 4 to see if there was any difference in build machines. The following tests had different results: * gcc.c-torture/compile/limits-structnest.c * gcc.dg/graphite/block-4.c * largefile.c * obj-c++.dg/template-5.mm * obj-c++.dg/template-5.mm * obj-c++.dg/template-6.mm * obj-c++.dg/template-6.mm * objc/execute/class-4.m I suspect that they're all caused by running the testsuite in parallel and the host running out of memory. limits-structnest takes around 850 MB of RAM and passes on the machine with swap (ursa1) and fails on the others. block-4.c takes 2:35 to run and timed out on ursa1 and passed on the others which may be due to ursa1 swapping heavily while running a limit test in parallel. The obj-c tests show various forms of killed, and suggest that they were killed due to another process taking all the memory. I'll change the machines to use the full 1 G of memory, run the test suite in sequential mode, and see how things go. I haven't investigated largefile.c - it's a PCH test and these fail randomly. Regarding block-4.c, it takes 155 s to run which is too close to the default 300 s for my taste. Should we add a dg-timeout-factor 4.0 to it similar to block-3.c? -- Michael

[Activity] April 4th - 8th

by Ramana Radhakrishnan

Missed sending this out earlier this week. == GCC == Progress: * Sync'd with Andrew about T2 performance stuff. * Spent some time investigating what could be done for divmodsi4 improvements . Working through the various phases. Not done tree level stuff for a while so my knowledge of the API is a a bit rusty. * Some upstream bugzilla duty. Plans: * Continue looking at divmodsi4 improvements. * Continue looking at excessive VFP moves. * Look at binutils + neon issue. * Performance kick-off meeting Meetings: * 1-1s * Linaro toolchain meeting * Andrew Stubbs meeting for 1 hour about T2 performance. Absences: * April 13th - Internal ARM conference. Not at desk all day. * April 15 – 26 -> Booked. * May 9-14 - LDS Budapest

Hi, libunwind: * started to look on how to resume from a given stack frame: * other platforms use setcontext * setcontext is not implemented on ARM (glibc) * the *context functions have been marked obsolescent in Posix * http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/makecontext.html pandaboard: * gdb doesn't find separate debug info of libraries that have been put into a multiarch directory (#758619) Note: I'll be out of office to attend a class till (including) Friday.

Today's T2 perf call.

by Ramana Radhakrishnan

A rough agenda for today's call. I'll put this on the wiki after the call. 1. Go over what we are all doing today - roughly Areas of investigation that we are looking at for near term. a. divmodsi4 work. b. Unnecessary VFP to integer register moves because of addressing modes availability. c. Thumb2 constants work d. Additional areas for headroom in DENBENCH. e. Coremark regressions fix up f. Revisions causing major regressions in coremark 2. Find a way of replicating the benchmarking results and make sure we get similar results to Michael and we are doing roughly the same thing. 3. Regular bi-weekly call following the Toolchain WG meeting ? Or do we organize another call ?
