o Linaro GCC (4/10)
* Restart validation blocked by the last infrastructure issues
* Discussed and reviewed Jenkins jobs fixes.
* Tested potential upstream fixes for linaro BZ 1980 and 1982,
but reverting the offending backports is a better solution.

o Complete backports and deliver 2016.01 GCC snapshot.
Centralized benchmark source - TCWG-354 [1/10]
* Fixed some bugs in Coremark reporting
* Experimented some more with clang builds, set this aside for now
Port to microinstance - TCWG-432 [3/10]
* Fixed some false assumptions exposed by change to uinstance
* Worked on LAVA side of coremark reporting
Backport benchmarking - TCWG-352 [4/10]
* Fixed some bugs that appeared over the holiday
* Got job dispatching benchmark run to microinstance, with pointer to
backport-containing toolchain
* But resulting job fails
Benchmarking infra documentation - TCWG-496 [1/10]
* Started documenting LAVA wrapper
Misc [1/10]

== This Week ==
* tcwg-72 (2/10)
- Following Jim's suggestions using XEXP (remainder, 0) worked to
resolve segfault
for DImode case
- Resolved ICE's due to (silly) mistakes.
* PR69133 (4/10)
- Reduced test-case following Markus's suggestions.
- I think it happens because node->lto_file_data is set to NULL in
lto_free_function_in_decl_state_for_node ().
Commenting out the following calls from get_untransformed_body():
lto_free_section_data (file_data, LTO_section_function_body, name,
data, len, decl_state->compressed);
lto_free_function_in_decl_state_for_node (this);
prevents the ICE. I suppose symbols with same name in same partition
share state (?), so setting lto_file_data = NULL
affects state of 2nd occurence of symbol and we hit the assert.
If this is true, gating on lto_file_data doesn't seem unreasonable IMO
to avoid ICE (the code anyway has undefined behavior due to violation of ODR).
I am still not sure why this "works" for partitioning enabled (one,
balanced, 1to1).
* 447.deallII bug (1/10)
- Bug not reproducible (verified with Kugan).
* TCWG-319 benchmarking (1/10)
- first job submission failed due to kernel panic
- a53: base fp run completed, with-patch in progress
* Misc (2/10)
- Meetings
- ipa
== Progress ==
* Validation
- a couple of fixes in the validation jobs
- improvements to the comparison scripts
* GCC
- investigated bugs #1980 and #1982.
Reverted the backports that introduced the problem.
- TCWG-485/PR68620: resumed
- TCWG-484: target attributes problems in the testsuite.
Sent an updated patch, but Christian has also submitted
a patch which modifies the compiler behavior. I'll have
to update mine when his patch is accepted.
* Misc (conf calls, meetings, emails, ....)
== Next ==
* Validation: more cleanup. Hopefully start extending validation scope
* GCC:
- bug fixing
- check trunk regressions reported during the holidays
== Progress ==
* Support (2/10)
- Having a go at PR25722, too hacky for a feature that can
be easily worked around.
- Reviewing some kernel issues with Arnd
* Planning (6/10)
- Drafting 2 year plans for LLVM
* Background (2/10)
- Code review, meetings, discussions, general support, etc.
- Catching up from long holidays
# Progress #
* Handle input interrupt in GDB. TCWG-424. Done. [3/10]
Need to update GDB manual to clarify the expected behaviour of GDB.
* Estimate the effort of GDB kernel-awareness work. Done. [1/10]
* TCWG-491. Ongoing. [2/10]. Understand symbol handling
in GDB.
* Various patch review upstream. [2/10].
* Clean up code on arm software single step after some changes from
Ericsson. Ongoing. [2/10].
# Plan #
* TCWG-491.
* Follow up of TCWG-424 to update GDB manual.
* Clean up code on arm software single step.
* Assess the ARM and AArch64 GDB test result, as 7.11 release is
coming soon.

It was backported to our gcc-5 branch on Nov 24 by Yvan. This is
after the latest release 2015-11 was made. The patch is in the
December snapshot, but I think that is a source only release.
http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.3-2015.12/
You would have to build your own toolchain from that, perhaps by using abe.
