 Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2011 9:06 pm Post subject: AMD FX-8120 Bulldozer and CFlags |
 |
|
Hello everyone,
Recently i switched to a AMD FX-8120 and i hoped i could use the full amd instruction set supported by gcc-4.6 upstream...
Gentoo safe flags told me to use the following (from http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Safe_Cflags/AMD#AMD_FX-8xxx.2F6xxx.2F4xxx_.28Bulldozer.29) | Code: | | CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=bdver1 -mtune=bdver1 -mcx16 -msahf -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mabm -mlwp -mavx" |
This breaks more or less every package i try to emerge with the following error:
| Code: |
# emerge x11-libs/libX11
(...)
/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CC --mode=compile x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/xcms -I../../src -I../../include/X11 -I/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/include -I/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/include/X11 -I../../include -I../../include/X11 -I/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/xcms -I/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/xkb -I/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/xlibi18n -I/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -DHAS_FCHOWN -DHAS_STICKY_DIR_BIT -DMALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fno-strict-aliasing -Wbad-function-cast -Wformat=2 -Wold-style-definition -Wdeclaration-after-statement -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=bdver1 -mtune=bdver1 -mcx16 -msahf -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mabm -mlwp -mavx -c -o LRGB.lo /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libX11-1.4.4/work/libX11-1.4.4/src/xcms/LRGB.c

This combinations is my minimal setup solving this Issue:
| Code: |
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=btver1 -mtune=bdver1 -mcx16 -msahf -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mabm -mlwp -mavx"
CXFLAGS={CFLAGS}
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
|
Obviously is -march=btver1 (amd 14h) supported but not -march=bdver1 (amd 15h) ...
Could 2.6.37 a problem? I'm going with hardened-sources for a while but all compillations tested was running with the 'vanilla'-gcc-4.6.1.
Thanks for any ideas ...

First off, gcc 4.6.2 is out if you'd like to upgrade - when you're using the testing versions it's best to make sure you're up to date with bugfixes, maybe it's fixed in that version.
Secondly, make sure your compiler is _actually_ set to the 4.6 one, so put 'gcc-config -l' into a terminal and make sure a * is next to the 4.6 one, if not set it to use 4.6 also by using gcc-config. |

It's really weird to see that -march and -mtune don't use the same value.
Any status with the latest GCC 4.6.2 ? |

Updated to the latest gcc-4.6.2, but makes no difference... seams also completely independend from hardened-sources/compliler.
It's the implicit flag -mxop which breaks my code - dropped in by choosing -march=bdver1...
The other new flag from bdver1: -mfma4 is usable ... |

Updatingt to the latest glibc and binutils solved the problem!

Please keep us informed as to how it's going with the FX 8120. Have you tried this with a 3.1.x kernel yet?
Is -march=native no longer recommended? I thought using that pulled in all the usable flags for your cpu, no matter what kind it is.

My understanding is that "-march=native" only works for CPUs that the gcc version knew about when it was being written. In other words, it's a moving target, constantly behind on the bleeding edge CPUs, constantly catching up.

depontius,
Makes perfect sense. I guess this means in order to get full featured use out of Amd FX cpus one should check "man:gcc" for the currently installed gcc version. and either use -march="your cpu architecture", or manually edit make.conf cflags accordingly. For reference, if you use kde, you can open konqueror, type in man:gcc, and get the installed gcc man version in a nice easily readable browser view. If I was running any of the latest cpus, I would use gcc-4.6.2 (currently the latest version in Gentoo ~ARCH).

| I see that if you have a new CPU, then you should avoid -march=native and then use -march=corei7 or the specific arch for your CPU. |

Really? I updated to the latest toolchain (gcc-4.6.2 funtoo current) and -march=native has caused 0 issues so far on my FX-8150. |

Can you post your emerge --info then ?
From GCC 4.6.1 to 4.6.2 or 4.5.x to 4.6.2 ? |

I have: AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor
And those CFLAGS suggested on wiki don't work:
| Code: | CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=bdver1 -mtune=bdver1 -mcx16 -msahf -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mabm -mlwp -mavx"
nor are the one that you suggested.
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=btver1 -mtune=bdver1 -mcx16 -msahf -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mabm -mlwp -mavx" |
I'm not able to compile anything with these flags,
I'm using:
CFLAGS="-Os -pipe -mtune=i686"
and the only package that failed was "ffmpeg"
UPDATE!
I just added to my flags: -march=native and ffmpeg compiled just fine.
CFLAGS="-march=native -Os -pipe -mtune=i686"
do I need flags: '-Os"
| Code: | echo "" | gcc -march=native -v -E - 2>&1 | grep cc1

And those CFLAGS suggested on wiki don't work:
| Code: | CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=bdver1 -mtune=bdver1 -mcx16 -msahf -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mabm -mlwp -mavx"
nor are the one that you suggested.
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=btver1 -mtune=bdver1 -mcx16 -msahf -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mabm -mlwp -mavx" |
I'm not able to compile anything with these flags,
I'm using:
CFLAGS="-Os -pipe -mtune=i686"
and the only package that failed was "ffmpeg"
UPDATE!
I just added to my flags: -march=native and ffmpeg compiled just fine.
CFLAGS="-march=native -Os -pipe -mtune=i686"

Updating binutils, gcc and glibc worked for the person who made the thread, maybe you should try that out if you haven't already. |

Thought I would show some "gcc" compile and execute differences.
(Using sys-devel/gcc-4.6.2)
my current "CFLAGS" that seem fine for system and world. (edit: world is a bit unstable so be careful.)

Remember nbench is single threaded but gives us a reasonable indication.

I know which "CFLAGS" I am staying with, unless someone can better them?
Happy New Year

| Quote: | | do I need flags: '-Os" |
"-Os" to gcc means "use all optimizations that -O2 would apply,
excluding those that typically increase the size of compiled
binary code." It gives up some optimizations that are optimizations
in theory in order to keep more loops running entirely within
the cpu's instruction cache (icache).
If you have a loop that fully optimized is larger than an icache line,
then you are getting a cache flush and reload on every loop
iteration. This is expensive in cycles. A less optimized loop
that fits entirely in an icache line can be faster in practice.
If most loops in your application fit in the icache even fully optimized,
"-O3 -funroll-loops [etc]" may be faster over runs of the whole application,
and -Os is not a benefit.
What is the benefit of using "-mtune=i686" on this architecture (or is
that simply a holdover from a CFLAGS setting imported from an older
computer)?

Thanks to everyone for the info in this thread.
Just installed fresh gentoo on the current kernel (3.2.2-hardened-r1)
Upgraded to GCC-4.6.2 using march=btver1 (v14, as bdver1 indeed doesn't work)
Then upgraded glibc and binutils as advised
Then remerged GCC-4..6.2 with march=bdver1 (v15)
Then emerge -e world to recompile everything with new march flag.
That worked for me. |
