Hello,
I see this release gcc-linaro-4.9-2016.02 for 86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf:
https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/4.9-2016.02/arm-l…
and would like to reproduce the toolchain for aarch64 hosts. I see that it was built with ABE, though I have generally been unsuccessful in getting ABE to work on aarch64 for this. I was looking for some build or ci breadcrumbs or documentation. What can you recommend?
The motivation here is to support legacy development/testing from modern aarch64 hardware.
Cheers,
Joe Gorse
Hello,
# GDB support for ARMv9 Scalable Matrix Extension (SME)
- Synced with Luis Machado to learn what the current status is. Read
discussions in the linux-arm-kernel mailing list which he pointed to.
- Read Arm architecture documentation about Neon, SVE, SVE2 and SME to
familiarise myself with these features.
- Basic setup / onboarding
- Joined some internal and external mailing lists, IRC and Slack
channels.
- Read some company policy documents.
- Researched models and got a quote for a work laptop.
- Set up aarch64 cross-compilation environment on my laptop.
- Set up emulated aarch64 machine with Fedora on my laptop.
- Attempted setting up emulated aarch64 machine with Ubuntu on my
laptop, but ran into problems with the Ubuntu Server installer.

Progress
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ Looked at and sent patches to fix a minor decode error for Neon
VLD1/VST1 that RTH found
+ softfreeze is next Tuesday -- sent out last big Arm pullreq before
freeze, though there will probably need to be another smaller one
+ code review, respinning previously sent patches, looking at bug
reports, all to get things in before freeze
* QEMU-420 [GICv4 emulation]
+ All the GICv4.0 stuff is now code-complete, but testing and
loose ends (like plumbing it into the virt board) will take a
while still.
-- PMM
Progress:
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ Respins of a few patchsets that needed v2
+ Looked at a few bugs since softfreeze for 7.0 is near
+ Amazingly my to-review queue is now almost empty
* QEMU-420 [GICv4 emulation]
+ Implemented more of the redistributor code -- the last missing
big piece is its handling of VMOVI, though there are also probably
some loose ends to tidy up
+ Note that this isn't going to be in time for 7.0, so will likely
go on the back-burner a bit in favour of release-critical items
thanks

Progress (a report covering two half-weeks)
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- lots of code review
- fixed another bug in the armv7m clock framework code
- refactoring patchset to trim some fat from a header that
gets included by every C file in the build
* QEMU-420 [GICv4 emulation]
- CPU interface parts of GICv4 work are code-complete
- started on the redistributor work
