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]

by mins.lin＠globalunichip.com

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. But failed and got the following error messages: ----- checking host system type... arm-unknown-eabi checking for arm-eabi-ar... arm-eabi-ar checking for arm-eabi-lipo... arm-eabi-lipo checking for arm-eabi-nm... /home/minslin/ET0001A/build-gcc/./gcc/nm checking for arm-eabi-ranlib... arm-eabi-ranlib checking for arm-eabi-strip... arm-eabi-strip checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for arm-eabi-gcc... /home/minslin/ET0001A/build-gcc/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/minslin/ET0001A/build-gcc/./gcc/ -B/home/minslin/linaro-gcc/arm-eabi/bin/ -B/home/minslin/linaro-gcc/arm-eabi/lib/ -isystem /home/minslin/linaro-gcc/arm-eabi/include -isystem /home/minslin/linaro-gcc/arm-eabi/sys-include checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/home/minslin/ET0001A/build-gcc/arm-eabi/libgcc': configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile See `config.log' for more details. make[1]: *** [configure-target-libgcc] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/minslin/ET0001A/build-gcc' make: *** [all] Error 2 ----- The configure options I used were: ----- ../gcc-linaro-4.5-2011.06-0/configure --target=arm-eabi --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared --prefix=/home/minslin/linaro-gcc --with-gmp=/home/minslin/gmp --with-mpfr=/home/minslin/mpfr --with-mpc=/home/minslin/mpc ----- I downloaded and built the GMP, MPFR and MPC packages.

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

== 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.

== This week == * Catching up on email. * More experiementation with the auto inc/dec stuff. TBH, this has taken longer than expected, but I think it's close now. * Wrote a dejagnu testcase for PR 49196. Tested it on trunk and submitted it upstream. == Next week == * Backport fix for PR 49196. * Look at NEON reload failure. * More auto inc/dec. Richard

== GDB == * Completed setup and baseline run for remote gdb testsuite. This involved tracking down and working around a variety of problems including: - issues with the cross-compiler packages - board files and sysroot for the debugger to use - timing problems in the dejagnu harness - multiple problems in the GDB testsuite itself At this point, I'm down to about a dozen extra FAILs and about 2000 tests (out of 16000) tests that are not executed in the remote testsuite for one reason or the other. Next step will be to analyze those and create bug reports.

Hi, * in order to have the android's debuggerd use libunwind I looked at libunwind's remote interface and especially the libunwind-ptrace lib that sits on top of that. * the remote interface seems a bit awkward to me. The user provides a set of callbacks to access the inferior memory or registers. Instead of using these callbacks to obtain the actual unwind information (eh_frame fro example) it requires the user implement another callback (find_proc_info) to lookup the unwind info himself. * the libunwind-ptrace currently deos not support the ARM specific unwind tables * started to look into how to improve the situation * not straight forward as it's tightly bound to eh_frame unw info and libunwinds DWARF parsing mechanism * attending a class this afternoon * Note: I'm on vacation starting in a few hours and I'll be back on Tuesday next week.
