[llvm-dev] [GlobalISel][AArch64] Toward flipping the switch for O0: Please give it a try!
Thanks Kristof. Sounds like we'll need to investigate though I'd say it is not blocking the switch. At this point I think everybody is on board to flip the switch. @Eric, how does that sound to you?

Hi all, I added a buildbot [1] running the test-suite with -O0 -global-isel. It runs into the same 2 timeouts that I reported previously on this thread (paq8p and scimark2). It would be nice to make it green before flipping the switch. At the moment, it lives in an internal buildmaster that I've setup for this purpose. If we fix it and it proves to be stable for a week or two, I'll move it to the public master.

For paq8p and scimark2, I get these results for O0: PAQ8p: Fast isel: 666.344 Global isel: 731.384 SciMark2-C: Fast isel: 463.908 Global isel: 496.22 The current timeout is 500s (so in this particular case we didn't hit it for scimark2, and it ran successfully to completion). I don't think the difference between FastISel and GlobalISel is too atrocious, so I would propose increasing the timeout for these 2 benchmarks. I'm not sure if we can do this on a per-bot basis, but I see some precedent for setting custom timeout thresholds for various benchmarks on different architectures (sometimes with comments that it's done so we can run O0 on that particular benchmark). Something along these lines works: https://reviews.llvm.org/differential/diff/102547/ What do you guys think about this approach? Thanks, Diana PS: The buildbot is using the Makefiles because that's what our other AArch64 test-suite bots use. Moving all of them to CMake is a transition for another time.> At the moment, it lives in an internal buildmaster that I've setup for > this purpose.
