Need help on Parameterized Trigger Plugin of Jenkins
Hello, I am using jenkins for continuous integration work. I have a requirement where I need to trigger a job as part of the post build step of a job. For example I have a job to build a source and I would like to trigger the job that tests the binaries as part of the post build step. Although I am aware how to trigger a job in the post build step I am failing to understand how to pass certain parameters[ information that the next job needs to know to execute] to the next job. I came across the Parameterized Trigger Plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Trigger+Pluginbut it does not explain how to access the parameters passed in the new job. Can someone help me with this ? Thanks and Regards, Deepti. ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev

Please find the log attached. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. What's your QEMU version (qemu-arm-static)? Old versions of QEMU have bugs and limitations in their emulation of ARM instructions which might cause weird failures such as segfaults when installing the hwpack. We recommend using the latest version of Linaro QEMU, which should be available for Ubuntu at: https://launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/+archive/tools Using a very recent upstream QEMU version would also help emulation. If that doesn't help, please report a bug or ask for input on a technical forum, such as linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org or IRC etc. Ideally, we would detect broken QEMU versions when running linaro-media-create, but it's non-trivial and a low priority feature, so it didn't get implemented so far.

I did notice your mail last week but I was busy with our conference and then the first couple of days this week have just disappeared with some internal training. I would be interested in hearing how you get on with LTO and FDO on ARM. Listening to Honza talking at the GCC unconference in London about the memory usage for full LTO with trunk I did wonder what would happen if we tried it on the ARM target to see what we got, but I never managed to get around to trying anything there :) . We did look at getting FDO working with Linaro GCC last cycle but there are still a couple of issues with PGO in Linaro GCC 4.5. I gave a try to Linaro GCC 4.5, and at first glance, it looks pretty much on par, performance-wise, with upstream GCC 4.6.1. With respect to LTO , the one problem we have currently is that the Neon intrinsics aren't streamed out and streamed back in. So you might have a few issues if your code uses arm_neon.h . https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+bug/823548 is an example of this problem. This was fixed upstream and we probably just need to backport that into our 4.6 tree. I've tried a backport this morning and I think I have this right finally. I haven't tried LTO with Linaro GCC, but with upsteam GCC 4.6.1, I hit something like the following: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41159 I'm currently running some more FDO tests, so I'll have more on that later. From my attempts so far with a possibly more correct profile than my very first attempts, it looks like it's not so bad (it used to regress in my first attempts), but it doesn't look better either. The resulting binary is however much bigger. Cheers, Mike ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev

following the installation instructions on the linaro wiki. It's
harmless (and probably necessary) just to run it every time.

Re: 3D Demo at ARM
Nicolas, Thanks for the notes. As you say there are many, many things that can affect this demo. What notes like this really underscore is the importance of staying up-to-date. This demo is more about the macroscopic effects from tip support than anything else. We do have some more specific benchmark numbers at: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/AndroidToolchainBenchmarking -Zach On 13 August 2011 06:07, Dechesne, Nicolas n-deche...@ti.com wrote: Zach, On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 12:56 AM, Zach Pfeffer zach.pfef...@linaro.org wrote: The demo consisted of two identical PandaBoards with identical SD cards running the 3D benchmark of 0xbench using software 3D to amplify compiler and kernel improvements. 0xbench is a benchmarking program we ship with our Android images from 0xlab. Each build ran the same Android userspace, 2.3.4, but one was using the 2.6.36 Linux kernel and GCC 4.4 from the stock AOSP distribution and one was using an upgraded Linaro 3.0 Linux kernel with Linaro GCC 4.5. We ran the board in 640x480 mode so that we wouldn't be memory bound. have you checked all clock configuration and ensure they are the same? .36 seems quite old (in the pandaboard lifetime) and i would suspect the CPU and memory clocks could be wrong compared to the linaro 3.0 (which I tried recently and which seems to have the right config). there are all bunch of kernel settings that can largely impact your demo like cache settings for example... since DVFS is not enabled in both kernel I believe, the clock setting might very well come from the bootloaders. which xloader and uboot are you using in both cases? have you tried to run the same demo with the exact same bootloaders and kernel? just a different user space built with 2 different compilers? I don't expect performances improvements to come from the kernel anyways (at least for such benchmark) that way you are sure you are really looking at GCC improvements. similarly you can run the same user space with both kernels. ___ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev

Should I file a bug?
To your knowledge should those hwpacks work? If yes, then I'll open a bug so we can track this issue. All hwapcks should work :-) In my opinion it's better to have a bug and close it quickly, than to miss something. If you get an image that doesn't boot then file the bug, don't ask whether you should. The worst that happens is that it gets duplicated to another bug, or closed as fixed just before you filed it. If we drown under duplicate bugs then we can re-examine this. Thanks, James P.S.

The workaround is linaro-media-create --rootfs option to specify the filesystem. I think it's also worthwhile to look at the results of Tixy's file system simulation before we switch. If there are significant performance regressions over ext3 or if btrfs turns out to be much better than ext4, we should probably not move to ext4 at this point but rather try to get btrfs fully supported. My understanding is that there are other bugs that would need to be fixed to make that happen. Yeah, if we're doing this change it seems it would make more sense to jump directly to the btrfs, unless we can demonstrate that the performance is not that superior and have any kind of blocker issues. Do we have any kind of benchmark results comparing each filesystem when using them with SD cards around?

Toolchain builders utilisation
Your distraction for the day... Toolchain has four PandaBoards that are used for building GCC, GDB, and other interesting programs. Here's a graph of how busy they are: http://ex.seabright.co.nz/misc/utilisation/ursas.png The green line is how many boards are currently running jobs. The blue line is how many jobs are queued up. The spike at day 3 is the end-of-week build of the upstream branches. The drop to three boards at day 7 is me reserving one for benchmarking. The spike at day 8 is the start of our release week where many commits and the final tarballs are built and tested. All boards were busy for seven days out of eight.
