Progress (short week, 2 days):
* Some time spent on setting up new work laptop
* Started in on the pile of code review that had built up
while I was on holiday... made a bit of progress and sent out
one pullreq. Queue length now: 16 series.
thanks

Hi, all
Does anybody know what does '.....isra.0' mean in GCC 10.2 compiled objects?
I just noticed this issue when using bcc/eBPF tools. I submitted the detail
into
* https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/3293
Simply put, when building a linux kernel with GCC 10.2, the symbol
'finish_task_switch' becomes 'finish_task_switch.isra.0' in the object (as
reported by 'nm')
Because a lot of kernel tracers (such as bcc) use 'finish_task_switch' as
the probe point, this change in the compilation result can make all result
such tools fail.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Guodong Xu
== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- a couple of regressions to bisect.
- minor testcase fix
- reported a couple of new failures
* GCC
- MVE autovectorization:
- vcmp support mostly complete. Minor update needed to support FP types.
- working on interleaved vector load/store support
* Misc
- fixed stm32 benchmarking harness, it's working again.
- submitted patches to reduce the toolchain build time (for
benchmarking we don't need all multilibs which take ages to build)
== Next ==
* MVE auto-vectorization/intrinsics improvements
* GCC/cortex-M testing improvements & fixes
* cortex-m benchmarking
Hi
I've been trying to run clang on a Windows on Arm machine, but it keeps trying to using the link.exe located in "Visual studio/..../Host64/arm64", which is (seemingly) an x64 tool and as such doesn't run, and crashes the process.
Is there a way to set clang to look at VS's x86 link.exe? Or if there is an arm64 version that clang should be using instead?
Thanks,
Joel

Hi,
I've been trying to use clang on Windows on Arm machine (Samsung Galaxy Book S), but whenever I try to use it, I get either nothing (in powershell) or an error popup: "The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b)".
The release I'm using is LLVM-12.0.0-rc1-woa64.exe<https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-12.0.0-rc1/L…> from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/tag/llvmorg-12.0.0-rc1
I have a feeling there might be a library or dependency I am missing.
Any help with how to resolve this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel

[UM-2 # QEMU Upstream Work]
* A lot of patch review.
* Some target/i386 cleanup, as followup to said patch review.
* Collecting patches for tcg-next.

== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- a few regressions to bisect. Fixed a minor testcase issue
* GCC
- MVE autovectorization: Working on vcmp. After some cleanup &
factorization, the cmp operators work on GCC vectors. I will now
resume work on auto-vectorization.
* Misc
- fixes in stm32 benchmarking harness
== Next ==
* MVE auto-vectorization/intrinsics improvements
* GCC/cortex-M testing improvements & fixes
* cortex-m benchmarking
* After proving that the aarch64 host problem with
booting s390x with virtio was lack of barriers for
the guest memory model, I've spent some time working
on a ld-acq/st-rel optimizer for tcg.
* Minor rev of tci rewrite.
* Some patch review on claudio's kvm/tcg split.
