QEMU Tooling ([VIRT-252])
=========================
QEMU plugin support ([VIRT-280])
- re-based [ldst demacro to v3]
- recollect stats to see if slowdown still there :todo
- awaiting v3 of plugin patches

[ldst demacro to v3]
https://github.com/stsquad/qemu/tree/ldst/demacrofy-v3
Upstream Work ([VIRT-109])
==========================
- need to finish the re-work of [system test and misc arch] tests
:todo
- will be useful for test cases for plugins
- also more test cases queued up for system tests
- debugged an occasional failure in pauth-1 test case
- expected given PAuth architecture, test needs tightening up
- posted {PATCH v1 0/4} HWCAP_CPUID registers for aarch64 Message-Id:
<20190128173940.25813-1-alex.bennee(a)linaro.org>
- posted {PATCH v2 0/6} HWCAP_CPUID registers for aarch64 Message-Id:
<20190205190224.2198-1-alex.bennee(a)linaro.org>
- posted {PATCH v2 00/16} current testing/next queue (with build
fixes) Message-Id: <20190207183744.5054-1-alex.bennee(a)linaro.org>
- this fixes regression of check-tcg but also
- discovered the Debian Buster's QEMU arm64 packaging is broken
- spent time trying to able to join #debian's IRC channels (aws
hosts banned!)
- tried to revive the cross-tools packaging I'd started with Wookey

Fosdem:
- Presented on LLD performance at LLVM devroom
https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/llvm/
- Other interesting presentations from the devroom include:
-- Compiling the Linux kernel with LLVM tools
-- Lessons in TableGen
LLVM-523 LLD should synthesise .cantunwind .ARM.exidx sections for
sections without them
- Implementation and regression tests done. Will do a bit more testing
and post upstream on Monday.
LLVM-521 Taking the address of an ifunc in LLD
- Spent some time reviewing upstream patch that should fix the
remaining LLD ifunc address equivalence problems for all Targets.
Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ reviewed RTH's patchsets for BTI and MemTag support
* VIRT-268 [QEMU support for dual-core Cortex-M Musca board]
+ Implemented a first pass at a Musca board model, which
has the PPC and MPC infrastructure, plus RAM, and ROM for
the flash; need to add at least the UARTs and do some testing
* misc
+ sorting out travel arrangements, visa, etc for Connect
+ kicked off a discussion on whether there are aspects of
QEMU's role as the userspace component of a KVM VM that
Linaro should be putting more effort/attention into
thanks

== Progress ==
* Out of office on Monday
* [Thumb GlobalISel] Support G_GEP [LLVM-532]
- Committed upstream
* [Thumb GlobalISel] Support G_ICMP [LLVM-528]
- Committed upstream
* [Thumb GlobalISel] Support G_SELECT [LLVM-529]
- Almost ready to commit
* LLVM 8.0.0 Release for ARM & AArch64 [LLVM-526]
- rc2 in progress
* Minor changes to Jenkins jobs [LLVM-533]
- TCWG Regression Detection job: launch LLVM 7.0.0 release on xenial
containers (as opposed to 6.0.0 on trusty)
- Release job: forced parallelism to 3 on the TK1s, to reduce some
of the swapping; also posted a patch upstream to allow us to use
ninja, so we can limit only the number of link jobs (like we do on the
buildbots)
== Plan ==
* Continue LLVM-526 and LLVM-529
* Use new version of GCC on buildbots [LLVM-515]
- Restart the buildbots so they begin using GCC 7
Hi,
I found that the bare-metal toolchains for aarch64 from Linaro could not seem
to link objects to generate executable files successfully.
====================
Toolchain:
https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/aarch…

Testcase:
> cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}

In addition, there was the same bug in 7.4.1-2019.02 version, but not in arm-eabi
or armeb-eabi.
Is there anyone fixing this?
Thanks,
Junling
