Hi, * worked on getting the remote unwind support for ARM upstream * noticed when building a recent android image of the linaro_android_2.3.4 branch for the panda the init.rc attempts to mount wrong partitions * tracked down the commit and opened a bug * linaro android team fixed it real quick * started to integrate libunwind into Andriod * two issues here: - the build system requires an Android.mk (while libunwind is autoconf+libtool based) - libunwind uses some interfaces/headers that are not provided by the bionlic libc Regards Ken ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

Also, the 4.5 branch is likely to perform better for a while; once 4.6 has caught up 4.5 goes into stable mode. If you are on a platform with NEON (i.e. not a Tegra2) experimenting with on -O3 and -mfpu=neon might get some interesting results as that enables the NEON auto-vectorizing Ira has been working on; given it's Mozilla, you might also get an ICE though ;-) Tell us how it goes. That's unfortunately not something that can work for us, except if we start distributing a different android build for NEON and non-NEON. you should consider that. Otherwise you will penalize future devices that will all have neon by forcing Tegra2 "legacy" support onto them. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

== This week == * Looked a bug report that the fix for LP #736007 had caused regressions on powerpc-darwin. It turned out to be a target-specific bug; the backend has the same const_vector code as i386 and spu, but the fix for PR34856 was never applied there. I'll submit the patch (and backport to Linaro 4.6) once the bug submitter has had a chance to test it. * Experimented with -falign-loops. Found that it triggered a bug in the ARM minipool layout code. Posted patch upstream and committed. Backported to 4.6. * Committed patch to allow globs in define_bypass. * Updated auto inc/dec patch after comments from Bernd and Stephen. I'm pretty happy with it now, but there are a couple of prerequisite patches I need to sort out first. * Started getting those prerequisites ready. * Decided that we needed something a bit more subtle than my original insn_rtx_cost patch: at the moment, we simply don't use rtx costs for lvalues. Wrote a series of patches to "improve" the rtx_cost interface, including providing the outer operand number and an indication of whether the rtx is an lvalue or an rvalue. * Upgraded my laptop. This turnted out to be more eventful than anticipated, and ended up taking a whole day. == Next week == * Post auto inc/dec preparatory patches for review. Hopefully post an RFA for the pass itself.

== GCC == === Progress === * Linaro sprint last week - one day of fun with broken laptop. * Looked at how we could get BUILTIN_VECTORIZE_CONVERT work to allow vectorizing some of the floating point conversions. * Fixed PR50022 . Couple of iterations. * Internal training for 2 days. * Dusted off a couple of my old patches and sent them out after testing. * Next to get back to old VFP and ivopts patch. * Looked at a testfailure with -mvectorize-with-neon-quads with Ira . === Plans === * Continue to look at the test failure with mvectorize-with-neon-quad * Finish off optimize_size patch based on comments. * finish off case for handling tbh instrucitons. * Commit fix for PR50022 * Look at some of the issues with VFP moves and try and get forward with it. * Look at BRANCH_COST results. Meetings: * 1-1s * TCWG calls * GNU Toolchain planning meeting. * Some patch review and bugzilla triaging. Absences. * 1st Aug - 5th August - Linaro sprint. * 8th - 9th August - Internal training. * 29th Aug - Sept. 2 - Holiday booked and approved. * 31st Oct - 4th Nov - Linaro Summit Orlando - Travel to be booked. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

== QEMU == * Finished off a first cut of the 64bit helper patch to QEMU - Gave it to Peter and have reworked most of the things he commented on * This also lead into a bit of a rabbit hole of finding various generic QEMU threading issues * Tested Peter's 11.08 QEMU release (I used linaro-fetch-image-ui for the first time to grab the release images; quite nice, hit a couple of issues but much nicer than crawling around the site to find where the hwpacks are). == Other == * Pinged gcc patches list for more comments on 64bit atomic patch I'm on holiday the week of 22nd (i.e. the week after next).
