Dear all,
My device is Voipac VMX51 machine based on i.MX51 CPU.
Previously I use Poky-Dylan-9.0.2 and custom linux kernel 3.8.5 with Real Time
patch 3.8.4-rt.
Kernel works fine if it was compiled by GCC-4.5.3 (some very old OpenEmbedded)
or GCC-4.7.2 (poky-dylan-9.0.2).
At some moment I decided to upgrade onto Poky-Dizzy-12.0.0 or Poky-Fido-13.0.0,
but encounter an issue with kernel operation.
Kernel compiled by GCC-4.8.2 or GCC-4.9.2 simply does not work at all. No
anyone message was printed at terminal after loading of kernel by boot-loader.
To confirm issue, I intentionally compile same kernel source tree by hands with
GCC-4.7.2 and it works fine.
This is made by small script like following:
PATH=$PATH:..../yocto-build-poky-dylan-9.0.2/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi
"make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-"
Does somebody experience similar issues with kernel compiled by old and new
compilers?
Unfortunately I does not know a way how to resolve this issue with new
compilers.
Can you recommend how to resolve issue with compiler version in newest Poky?
Check to make sure your kernel has these two patches applied

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by recent GCC
(4.7.2) optimizations
Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on
assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions.
The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.
For instance in the following function:
void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
{
memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
waiter->magic = waiter;
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list);
}
compiled as:
800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>:
800554d0: e92d4008 push {r3, lr}
800554d4: e1a00001 mov r0, r1
800554d8: e3a02010 mov r2, #16 ; 0x10
800554dc: e3a01011 mov r1, #17 ; 0x11
800554e0: eb04426e bl 80165ea0 <memset>
800554e4: e1a03000 mov r3, r0
800554e8: e583000c str r0, [r3, #12]
800554ec: e5830000 str r0, [r3]
800554f0: e5830004 str r0, [r3, #4]
800554f4: e8bd8008 pop {r3, pc}
GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
register/memory corruptions.
This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
existing load/store instructions.
For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:
Step 1
======
Perform the following substitutions:
ip -> r8, then
r0 -> ip,
and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).
Step 2
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:
save r8:
- str lr, [sp, #-4]!
+ stmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
and restore r8 on both exit paths:
- ldmeqfd sp!, {pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
+ ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
(...)
tst r2, #16
stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
- ldr lr, [sp], #4
+ ldmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
Step 3
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:
save r8:
- stmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+ stmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
and restore r8 on both exit paths:
bgt 3b
- ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
+ ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
(...)
tst r2, #16
stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
- ldmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+ ldmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
Step 4
======
Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7670/1: fix the memset fix
Commit 455bd4c430b0 ("ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by
recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations") attempted to fix a compliance issue
with the memset return value. However the memset itself became broken
by that patch for misaligned pointers.
This fixes the above by branching over the entry code from the
misaligned fixup code to avoid reloading the original pointer.
Also, because the function entry alignment is wrong in the Thumb mode
compilation, that fixup code is moved to the end.
While at it, the entry instructions are slightly reworked to help dual
issue pipelines.
