Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ finishing off the ptimer API transition work
+ review of rth's "speed up calculation of tbflags" patchset
+ put together and sent an arm pullreq
* VIRT-350 [Update Arm KVM support in QEMU]
+ the patchset for hotpluggable RAM support is now upstream
thanks

== Progress ==
* GCC:
- Work on -mpure-code on v6m. Patches sent for upstream review.
* GCC upstream validation:
- reported several issues
* misc:
- infra fixes / troubleshooting / reviews
== Next ==
* FDPIC: resume work on GDB
* GCC: pure-code/v6m
* Binutils: support non-contiguous memory regions in linker
== Progress ==
* clang-tidy workshop (and associated prep)
- I think this went really well, we got good feedback from some of
the participants
* Trying to setup a build environment on tcwg-sq-02.tcwglab
- Mostly so I can deploy the SVE fuzzer there, but maybe for other things too
- All the compilers that I've tried so far are ICE-ing at some point
or another while building llvm
- Still looking into it but I'm starting to suspect there's
something fishy about this board
* Still no access to Morello docs
* Read a bit more about LLDB
* Finished annual review
== Plan ==
* Maybe THIS time I'll get access to the Morello docs next week
* If not, more SVE fuzzer
* One day off
o LLVM:
* Buildbots babysitting:
- Various breakage on the bots and in the kernel build
* Machine Outliner:
- preparing upstream submission
o Misc
* Various meetings and discussions.

== Progress ==
* Support Morello fat pointers in LLDB [LLVM-597]
- Read an intro to Cheri (research project that Morello is based on)
- Read more LLDB docs
* Started writing annual review
* Setup VM for a clang-tidy workshop that I'm co-organizing as part of
the Stockholm LLVM socials
== Plan ==
* Hopefully will get access to Morello docs next week so I can start actual work
* Rebase and play more with the SVE IR fuzzer [LLVM-586]
[VIRT-263 # ARMv8.1-VHE Virtual Host Extensions ]
Lots of work with Alex trying to produce a reduced test case.
We are now unit testing entry and exit from EL0 (EL2&0),
EL1 and EL0-in-EL1 (EL1&0).
Next would be to test the various memory access faults.
[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]
Patch review for SVE in KVM, S390 interrupt handling during MVCL.
