Emilio will look at a single-pass option and it makes things easier or not. It was also suggested we could move instruction fetch to helpers outside of the individual front-ends to keep the plugin call points in the core translator and avoid having to tweak each front-end for support. A number of pre-requisites were discussed including some de-macrofication work to make the code easier to follow and instrument. {PATCH 0/4} xxhash patches for 4.0 Message-Id: <20181123230206.12629-1-cota(a)braap.org> - CLOSING NOTE [2018-11-28 Wed 15:09] Clean-up to xxhash to match original and handle expanded hashes Absences ======== - Christmas Holidays - Connect BKK19 (1-5th April 2019) Current Review Queue ==================== * {Qemu-devel} {PATCH for-4.0 v2 00/37} tcg: Assorted cleanups Message-Id: <20181123144558.5048-1-richard.henderson(a)linaro.org> * {PATCH v6 00/13} hardfloat Message-Id: <20181124235553.17371-1-cota(a)braap.org> * {Qemu-arm} {PATCH v7 00/16} gdbstub: support for the multiprocess extension Message-Id: <20181123091729.29921-1-luc.michel(a)greensocs.com> * {Qemu-arm} {PATCH 00/13} Support disabling TCG on ARM Message-Id: <20181113165247.4806-1-sameo(a)linux.intel.com> * {PATCH 0/7} Acceptance Tests: basic architecture support Message-Id: <20181004151429.7232-1-crosa(a)redhat.com> * {PATCH v7 00/19} Fixing record/replay and adding reverse debugging Message-Id: <20181010133333.24538.53169.stgit@pasha-VirtualBox> -- Alex Bennée

Four day week (Happy Thanksgiving, all you Europeans) [Upstream] Posted patches making bswap during qemu_ld/st optional. The prompt was reviewing the tcg/riscv/ patch set, but I've wanted to do this for ages. This should avoid the need for reservation of scratch registers on some hosts that can ill afford it -- in particular i386 and aa32. In the process I ran into two other places that x86 used those scratch registers: stores from non-q-registers and bsd-user. I included patches for both of those (freebsd only; net/openbsd will work so long as guest_base == 0 and will abort at runtime otherwise). I still need to audit the other hosts before dropping the call-clobbering from user-only within tcg.c. r~

by Christophe Lyon

== Progress == * FDPIC - Cortex-M uClibc-ng patch merged - GCC: no feedback yet on v4 patches * GCC upstream validation: - reported a few regressions - dealing with some random results, again - trying qemu-3.1.0-rc1, maybe some memory consumption problems, tbc * GCC: - bug report on aarch64 about misaligned accesses. I do not have access to LHG gerrit, Maxim will look at isolating the problem. - rebased ubsan / bare-metal patches. Really need to look at how to merge them into LLVM * misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....) - reviewing infra script patches - ran Spec2006 using gcc-8.2 sysroot, to avoid differences caused by glibc versions. Fortran benchmarks could not run when compiled with gcc-5/gcc-6 because libgfortran changed .so version compared to gcc-8. == Next == FDPIC: - GCC: handle feedback on v4 patches - uclibc-ng: look at how to test fdpic mode with openadk Benchmarks: - collect results Validation: - check if qemu-3.1.0-rc1 is OK for my GCC validations

[LLVM-486] Error id user defines _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ (upstream review) [LLVM-484] Fix linker script dynamic relocations combination into a single output section (upstream review) [LLVM-483] cortex-a53 erratum fix interaction with TLS relaxation (upstream review) [LLVM-489] Measure (cross) linking performance of LLD for AArch64 and Arm. Looking for large projects that I can build for Arm and AArch64 - Firefox seems to have some ARM Android cross build support but it does not appear to be working too well. - Chrome can cross build to ARM and AArch64 Android. Have been able to build AArch64 so far. Notably both projects don't support building natively on AArch64, there are quite a few build dependencies for which only x86 support is available. Raised Jira tickets for recent PRs fixed 2019 Planning - Drafted objectives document for LLVM team - Drafted some Jira suggestions for TCWG

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - release work - code review - sent patch fixing Coverity issue in Xen PCI device passthrough (this was our last outstanding issue with no patch on the list!) * VIRT-268 [QEMU support for dual-core Cortex-M Musca board] - some initial investigation of what changes are going to be needed for heterogenous-cpu support in QEMU - started on a test case using the existing xnlx-zcu102 board (which has a heterogenous config that works only by accident) thanks -- PMM
