Hello,
# TCWG Infrastructure
- Reviewed a bunch of Gerrit requests for our CI scripts.
- Learning Jenkins job builder syntax and working on a job definition to
run fast_check_{gcc,gdb} jobs on Gerrit review requests for
jenkins-scripts and ABE.
- Changed CI scripts to save ABE and component testsuite logs when the ABE
build or check step fails. This should help debug a case where a GDB CI
job failed due to (probably) a corruption of the gdb.sum testsuite
result file.
# Misc
- Some preparations for the trip to Linaro Connect.

Progress:
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- sent out v3 of the 'deprecate singlestep option' patchset
- sorted out the draft QEMU Summit invite list and invitation text
- spent some time trying to understand how the imx SoCs arrange
their ethernet controllers and PHYs so I can review a patchset
- sent patch fixing minor configure nit where it wasn't honouring
--cross-prefix for the ObjC compiler
- got the 8.0 release out of the door and handed over merge handling
to rth
- sent some patchsets updating a few old .txt files to reStructuredText
- still thinking about our page-table-walk code -- I'm not convinced
it's doing the right thing with NSW/SW bits, even after last
week's patchset...

- One Arm failure that passes on QEMU TCG.
- Reviewed a number of Gerrit requests about improving ABE and CI scripts.

Progress:
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
* trying to get a release out of the door -- due among other things
to the Easter holiday weekend, rc4 is a bit late and has rather
more changes than I would prefer
* more triaging of Coverity issues
* sent a few trivial bug fix patches
* started reviewing and queueing arm patches for 8.1
* investigated a FEAT_SEL2 bug that showed up with some proposed
changes to TF-A/Hafnium. The architecture and QEMU's code
are pretty hairy in this area but I think I have identified
the correct fix...

Hello,
[GNU-796] Stabilize GDB testsuite results in the CI
- Submitted to GDB mailing list and committed patches fixing the
gdb.asm/asm-source.exp regression found by the check_gdb job. Turned out
to be a small bug in the stabs debug format support.
- Committed Gerrit review request disabling Python on MinGW cross builds.
[GNU-767] Support changing SVE vector length in remote debugging
- Investigating a follow-up question Simon asked during review of the
patch series fixing a corner case when reading auxv from multi-threaded
inferiors.

Progress:
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
* rc3 this week
* reworked my "deprecate the misleading -singlestep option"
patchset to deal with review feedback, sent out v2
* KVM Forum programme committee work
* investigated a regression where the mps3-an547 board
asserts on startup; for 8.0 we will just revert the change
that introduced the failure, since it was only an optimization
* some triage of Coverity issue reports; sent some patches for
some easy ones, queried original code submitter for others
