== Progress == * Fixed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.6/+bug/1029454 * After investigating further found that this was actually an issue already fixed in FSF upstream * 4.7 AArch64 merge into gcc-linaro/4.7 * Did an initial merge of upstream ARM/aarch64-4.7-branch into gcc-linaro/4.7 * So far it hasn't broken other platforms * Investigated getting FastModels working for me * Hot/Cold partitioning in PGO: * Tidied up current patches ready for reposting upstream * Handed current status to Christophe == Next Week == * HOT/COLD partitioning for PGO: * Complete hand-over to Christophe * Get two current patches accepted upstream * Post question upstream about register allocation 'mistakes' I am seeing * ARM/aarch64-4.7-branch merge into gcc-linaro/4.7. * Get a test run of aarch64 targetted compiler complete * Confirm no code generation changes for other back-ends * symbol_ref splitting * Test code alignment hypothesis * Test v2 patch. * Admin * Several interviews == Future == * Look at Cards for Vectorization, PGO and LTO with Michael. -- Matthew Gretton-Dann Linaro Toolchain Working Group matthew.gretton-dann(a)linaro.org

Summary * Workaround the unwind issue for shrink-wrap * Verify Linaro tickets. Details: 1. Debugging the failed cases for shrink-wrap. To workaround the unwind issue, update arm_expand_epilogue to generate return not simple_return when sp is changed. 2. Setup Linaro toolchain and verify 8 tickets: *Linaro gcc: lp:1036170: Function pointer dereferenced twice. It is ARM special bug which is confirmed in 4.6, 4.7 and FSF trunk only on ARM. lp:1048709: wrong assembler, out of range vldr instruction. Confirmed in Linaro 4.6. Can not reproduce it in 4.7 or FSF 4.6. lp:1014658: It is c++11 related issue in 4.6. lp:944572: It is a gcc general issue. lp:972503 and lp:1039401 can not be reproduced. * Linaro binary toolchain: lp:1046718: confirmed and fixed it. lP:1049498: invalid Plans: * Prepare Linaro binary toolchain 2012.09 release. * Performance test for shrink-wrap. * Follow-up the tickets. Best regards! -Zhenqiang

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.09 released

by Ulrich Weigand

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of Linaro GDB 7.5. Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.09 is the first release in the 7.5 series. ***NOTE*** Linaro GDB 7.5 2012.09 is identical to the FSF GDB 7.5 release, except for the change in version number and Linaro branding, since all Linaro GDB features were already accepted upstream and are included in the FSF release as-is. Future releases in the Linaro GDB 7.5 series may include additional ARM-focused bug fixes and enhancements.
