[oe] Openjdk shark and cacao VMs not working - shark fixed

[Xerxes Rånby]

Hi Koen!

I have updated the llvm2.7 package to fix the shark
UNREACHABLE executed at ARMCodeEmitter.cpp:554! error
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=d1dcd08e4ec0b65aaaef149bace47da16acf7626

By using those fixes i was able to pass your Linpack testcase:

xerxes at overo:/usr/src/openembedded/shark-test/testcases$
../21jul-2010/j2sdk-image/bin/java -shark Linpack
Mflops/s: 1.063  Time: 0.65 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16

It worked but it looks a bit slow.. I checked why.
it seems Shark are still JITing when the test exits.

I tested to modify the Linpack testcase to run it several times in a row.
by changing the Linpack main to:

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    for(int i=0;i<100;i++){
      Linpack l = new Linpack();
      l.run_benchmark();
    }
  }

Now it looks much better:

xerxes at overo:/usr/src/openembedded/shark-test/testcases$
../21jul-2010/j2sdk-image/bin/java -shark Linpack
Mflops/s: 1.068  Time: 0.64 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:

2.220446049250313E-16

2.220446049250313E-16
Mflops/s: 14.306  Time: 0.05 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
LLVM ERROR: ARMv6t2 JIT is not yet supported.

But as you can see I have hited a new LLVM ERROR, and this time because
we are trying to use the thumb2 jit on armv7 hardware.

I have updated the llvm2.7 package once again by backporting more fixes
from the llvm2.8svn branch
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=de16a3d10308c81c7e40886bbe0846604eebdf77

And now when using llvm2.7-2.7-r8 I am able to run the Linpack testcase
for any amount of iterations:

xerxes at overo:/usr/src/openembedded/shark-test/testcases$
../21jul-2010/j2sdk-image/bin/java -shark Linpack
Mflops/s: 1.066  Time: 0.64 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
Mflops/s: 14.306  Time: 0.05 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
Mflops/s: 14.014  Time: 0.05 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
Mflops/s: 14.306  Time: 0.05 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
Mflops/s: 14.306  Time: 0.05 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
... about 30 iterations later
Mflops/s: 17.167  Time: 0.04 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
Mflops/s: 17.607  Time: 0.04 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
Mflops/s: 17.607  Time: 0.04 secs  Norm Res: 1.43  Precision:
2.220446049250313E-16
...

I am quite happy with those results.
Once we get LLVM and Shark stable then we can drop the Assertions in
LLVM and that will make Shark JIT faster and hopefully get it warm fast
enough to generate good scores for the first iteration of the Linpack
benchmark.

Please report if you find any new Shark issues.

Cheers, and have a great day!
