== Progress == * Setup new git mirror of new binutils-gdb.git repository, and added a cron job to update it every 10 minutes. (#369, .5/10) * Started modifying Cbuildv2 to use new binutils-gdb repository, which changes how we parse URLs. (.5/10) * Modified Cbuildv2 to produce fully statically linked binaries so 32bit ones run on any distro, including 64 bit. (#368, 3.5/10) * Worked with LAVA team to set up a private Jenkins for TCWG use only to protect test and benchmark data. (#379, 2/10) * Fixed Cbuildv2 bug where the dryrun function wasn't properly trapping configure and build errors. (.5/10) * Meetings Card maintainance. (2/10) * Quick winter camping trip at the hot springs for my bday, hit -38C ! == Plan == * More tweaks to source and binary tarball creation. * Finish modifying Cbuildv2 to use new binutils-gdb repository. * Fix all the minor bugs caused by properly trapping errors from dryrun function. * Make the new Jenkins build in a 32 bit chroot on the TCWG build machines * Figure out why Jenkins doesn't import the Junit files. * Copy .sum files to remote host. * If new Arndale or APM boards arrive this week like promised, start evaluating them. * Get the SM team to start using Gerrit for merge requests for Cbuildv2. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

== Issues == * None. == Progress == * 1.5 days off. * Misc update for Linaro crosstool-ng - Re-enable parallel build for do_cc_core. - Add linaro-armeb-none-eabi config. - Update all CT_TOOLCHAIN_PKGVERSION to Linaro GCC 2013.11 * Share toolchain binaries configures to cbuild2 group. * Backporting r200103 and r205509 to linaro 4.8. * Collect Spec2k INT results with -fno-move-loop-invariants and -fira-loop-pressure on X86-64 and ARM Chrome book. Performance of different cases waves from -2% - 2%. But the overall performance changes 0.5%. == Plan == * Continue on CCMP. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

== Progress == - aarch64 bootstrapping (TCWG-348 4/10) - worked on this posted patch - 64bit divide for Armv7-a (TCWG-26) - Patched committed and Card closed - http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revisionrevision=205444 - http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revisionrevision=205666 - Integrate benchmarking into Cbuildv2 (TCWG-360 2/10) - Added missing functionality - Zero/sign extension elimination (TCWG-15 4/10) - Sent a reworked patch for comment == Plan == - address aarch64 bootstrapping review - Continue with Integrate benchmarking into Cbuildv2 ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
[ACTIVITY] 2-06 Dec 2013
== Progress == - libssp gcc Initiated mails for upstream discussion on supporting global and TLS based libssp ABI for Aarch64. Now waiting for feedback from ARM maintainers. - Built few benchmarks with Linaro tool chain binaries. Faced some openmp failures, compiler disabled for libgomp. Looking to rebuild the linaro cross tool chain. - Rebased glibc trunk and ran cross glibc tests on V8 foundation model. With TLS SSP patch glibc's libresolve.so fails to build because the stage 1 GCC compiler emits global stack_chk_guard. The glibc dos not export global stack_chk_gaurd, when TLS based stack guard is set. Now looking at supporting and test both TLS and global stack guard ABI, but before that waiting for confirmation from ARM maintainers. - Reinstalled linux 13.04 ubuntu on my laptop - Tested the patch http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-12/msg00170.html for aarch64-none-elf target. No regressions found. == Plan == - Continue upstream discussions and post RFC patches for glibc and gcc libssp - Explore on cbuildv2 - Cross Build few openmp benchmarks ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
[ACTIVITY] 2 - 6 December 2013
== Progress == * Updated, tested and submitted new patches for a couple of gdb testsuite failure on arm. [TCWG-269] [TCWG-34] [1/10] * Performed GDB git repository testing suite results comparison: [TCWG-34] [2/10] Compared results and prepared googldocsheets for the following: arm-native Vs arm-remote arm-native Vs x86-native arm-remote Vs x86-remote * Investigated difference/failures in arm-native vs arm-remote comparison sheet. [TCWG-34] [5/10] Re-ran timeout failures with different values of timeouts. Figured out causes of failures. Figured out why some tests exit without emitting any logical result. * In response to comments upstream tried to figure out alternate fix for dwarf2 fortran parameter test. [TCWG-267] [TCWG-34] [1/10] * Miscellaneous activities [1/10] == Plan == * Analyze new failures in arm-native Vs x86-native and arm-remote Vs x86-remote test results. * Fix test suite failures and submit patches if any. * Spend some time pining/updating/re-submit previous patches. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
