I haven't tried enabling LTO for quite a while, but just ran across this new post on LWN. Does this possibly mean that LTO optimization is getting closer to being usable?

Any feedback (pro or con) on what all this means? I have a rarely used (but kept up-to-date) Gentoo "testing" partition on a spare hard drive, and might be tempted to give LTO another try if I can find some spare time.

From just reading the article, and not being an expert on the subject:

It seems, that with LTO a faster (as in smaller) but probably buggier kernel is possible.
another downside is that it need loads of RAM to build.

In parallel I am wondering if the improvements are noticeable, especially on low(er) specs machines.


just my initial thoughts on the subject.

Veldrin,
Yeah, I'm wondering too.

I found a reference on phoronix,
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE2MzY

which had a link to the mailing list back and forth of the devs working on this:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/18/273

Reading some of their comments quickly convinced me that I knew even less about this stuff than I thought I did, which I realized was not very much in the first place.

Obviously, my lack of expertise would not allow me to be of any help. Guess I'll have to wait until gcc-4.8 makes it into Gentoo ~Arch, and try enabling LTO then. One would think that the gcc dev's goal is to eventually enable LTO as the default, since they keep mentioning it in each release version's documentation.

On the other hand, maybe the assumption that LTO is even desirable as a linux/gcc default is incorrect, and just an uninformed misconception I've built up in my own mind... :roll:

The are several optimisation that can only be performed in the compiler can see all the functions involved. if you do:
Code:

int a = 1;
if (a != 1){ do something }

then the compiler can remove the if statement, as it obviously does not run.

if the code is like:
Code:

void foo(int a){
if (a != 1){ do something }
}
int a = 1;
foo(a);

then it is a bit trickier for the compiler, but optimisation is still possible. the whole function call can be removed.

but if the function definition and call are in separate files, then the compiler has no chance to spot the optimisation. LTO solves that because the compiler can see everything at once.

if you have a look at the "Interprocedural optimization improvements" section in http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html it has some more examples.

of course more aggressive optimisation can expose bugs in code (eg undefined behaviour) or bugs in the compiler. so it may be a while before this is usable.

I am running a kernel with BFS and LTO build, so far so good.

@ssam,
Thanks for the reply- I had looked at this before, but I think your comments have helped me begin to understand it a little more clearly.

@xming,
Could you post a few more details, please? Do you mean you only compiled your kernel with LTO enabled (and are using the kolivas BFS scheduler), or are you also having decent success with doing a complete emerge -e @system and/or @world?

Or, if you're only using an LTO compiled kernel, is there any noticable performance improvement in other non-LTO compile applications at runtime?

Does running an LTO enabled kernel simply reduce the compile time for other packages, and doesn't really impact the general performance of the resulting individual binary packages?

I am running 3.5.2 with LTO and bfs + some other patches. As for packages I don't have lto enabled for all, just some. I can't say if it's faster as I haven't run any benchmarks. All I can say it's rather stable (no issues so far) and it feels a bit smoother.

Thanks xming,
Just to clarify, you're enabling LTO for individual packages in /etc/portage/env/, correct?

IIRC, a while back there was a forum thread that started listing packages that could be compiled with LTO enabled, but I've lost track of it.

Anyone think trying an emerge -e @system is worth a shot (with kernel 3.5.2 and gcc-4.7.1) and seeing what fails, considering there might have been some progress in the last year or two since I last attempted this?

I was just about to give a try, so, generally speaking, I can do this. The only thing is I'm using just stock 3.5.2 kernel instead of Gentoo's. I thing that other CFLAGS (besides -flto) would have great impact or successfull compilation. So below is mine:
Code:

CFLAGS="-march=core2 -mssse3 -O2 -mfpmath=sse -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-ident -fforce-addr -ftracer -fweb -falign-functions=4 -ftree-vectorize -flto -floop-interchange -floop-strip-mine -floop-block"


Pls, let me know if everything is fine with these CFLAGS above.

Yes I am using /etc/portage/env/, I was having more packages built with gcc 4.6.x than 4.7, so I had to dial back the lto usage.

I'm running 3.6-lto on two different x86_64 machines (thinkpad x201+router/firewall) and it's very stable so far. I'll do some few benchmarks soon, network latency seems to have been significantly improved.

Here's a few new Aug. 21, 2012 benchmarks from Phoronix:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=gcc_471_lto&num=1

Most seem to make little difference, but when it does make a difference on a specific benchmark it's significant, particularly the BYTE Dhyrstone 2 test, where the LTO-optimized binary was about 34% faster.

The system is rock stable. I haven't had any problem regarding lto, other than not compile with lto (except glib, but it was a know issue). Binaries are smaller. Is it faster ? Well, I don't know. It's not noticeable. I have an CPU still powerful and my system is on an SSD, so... it's hard to notice a speed improvement without benchmarks.

@costel78: To me it would be worth knowing what version of virtualbox you managed to build with gcc-4.7.1 - by chance, does dev86 build successfully too?

My experience is that everything which compiles with LTO also runs without problems. However, for many packages, I get warnings related to -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 (e.g. warnings about possibly transposed arguments of memset) which do not occur without flto and which are hard to reproduce (e.g. I realized that they depend on the order of includes of standard libraries). I have not tried vanilla gcc, i.e. it could be that this problem is only related with gentoo's patches concerning D_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Unfortunately I'm on no-multilib profile so I'm able to use just virtualbox-bin, but I just tested it and sys-devel/dev86-0.16.18 emerge was successfully.

I wonder how many of these packages are failing because of:

Link-time optimization does not work well with generation of debugging information. Combining -flto with -g is currently experimental and expected to produce wrong results.

Probably none. I would guess the "expected to produce wrong results" refer to broken debugging information. However, even if it does not: I doubt that many packages add -g by themselves to CFLAGS, and AFAIK neither do gentoo's gcc patches nor portage if used in "normal" mode.

I have not been able to figure this out. May be u can help. Parts of firefox build are done using "-g". And those parts fail to build when CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS have -flto also. Are you able to build firefox with -flto? I have the "custom-cflags custom-optimization" USE flags for firefox and use package.env to set lto.

kthx, I've also built gcc-4.7.1 now and verified that there seems to be more than less breakage with current 4.7.2_pre9999 - virtualbox, dev86 won't build with the latter. But there's another thread for gcc-4.7

so anyone tried compiling the kernel with LTO and gcc 4.8 ?

https://github.com/andikleen/linux-misc/commits/lto-3.8

provides most revent enough kernel source & patches


I'm still looking for experience from actual users on the web
