- reported a few regressions
* GCC:
- PR94743 (IRQ handler and Neon registers): No feedback yet.
* misc:
- infra fixes / troubleshooting / reviews
- looking at cortex-m benchmarking harnesses, at last able to run
coremark stm32 board
== Next ==
* GCC validation
- switch to qemu-system-mode for cortex-m33, in order to run the cmse tests
* PR94743
* GCC/cortex-M testing
* cortex-m benchmarking

thumb modes, cortex-m[0347,33]
- upgraded to qemu-5.0
- reported a few regressions

[VIRT-339 # ARMv8.5-BTI, Branch Target Identification ]
Updated to match the latest kernel for-next/bti-user branch; I hope this is
going to be merged for 5.7.
Posted v9 for review.
[VIRT-349 # QEMU SVE2 Supprt ]
More RISU work to improve support for SVE. Stephen Long has posted some sve2
risu patterns that need reviewing, and I plan to test all of that next week vs
ArmIE.
I had a start on rebasing my current sve2 patch set on master, with lots of
prereqs merged. But stopped in the middle because I realized that I wanted to
get all of the RISU work done first, so that I can test each patch as it is
updated.

PS: Out all next week on holiday.
Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- Various bits of code review; put together and sent another
arm pullreq.
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
- Fixed up the 2-reg-shift/1-reg-imm patchset as per code review
comments and sent a v2
thanks
