Investigated yet another sanitizer related buildbot failure. This time
it looks like latent problems in the compiler-rt/cfi implementation
and tests provoked by the introduction of the Arm LLD bot.
- cfi requires LTO so it requires a bot using LLD or a bot configured
to run gold with the LTO plugin. Raised upstream PR on cfi.
[Linaro Connect]
Made some more progress on a clang-tool example to use for my
presentation on how to build a clang tool. Learned quite a bit more
about ast-matchers and the clang-ast.
[LLD]
Committed support for Armv5 and Armv6 in LLD.
[Miscellaneous]
Quite a heavy patch review week.
Planned absences:
On holiday on Tuesday
Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ put some reviewed MPS device patches into master, did a v2 of the
rest and sent them out again; these are now in master
+ ditto with patches for missing AArch32-Hyp features
+ code review:
- rth's patchset fixing float/int-with-scaling conversion
- rth's patchset adding system mode support for SVE
- linux-user: netlink fixes
+ sent out a patchset that wires up the GICv2 virtualization
memory regions and IRQs on the remaining boards that need it;
got this into master

Hi, dear toolchain team
I'm working on a Cavium ThunderX and want to install the latest Linaro binary release 7.3.1, but it seems no aarch64 native binaries in https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest/aarch64-li…
Can you help on this, thanks very much!
Best Regards, Yi

SVE Support ([VIRT-198])
========================
- looked at re-factoring fcvt tests to add tests for rth's recent
fixes
- see [my initial test branch]
- the idea is to make adding a new op test case minimal effort
