=== This Week ===
GDB Kernel Awarenes - Kernel Dump setup for ARM [9/10]
-- Background study on kdump and try to find working steps for QEMU ARM.
-- There is a problem with kdump-tools install script with QEMU
-- Tried building kernel for Raspberry Pi2 and Pi3 with kdump, no
success so far.
-- Setup B2260 with debian and try kdump setup
-- Setup and kernel config successful but kdump couldn't configure
-- Tried the same with HiKey board
Miscellaneous Activities [1/10]
-- Meetings, Emails etc.
=== Next Week ===
GDB Kernel Awarenes
-- Start merging Peter's and IBM patches
-- Look around for help on Kdump setup.
== This Week ==
* TCWG-1005 (6/10)
- Fixed firefox ICE
- Unfortunately that gives rise to another ICE with ipa-icf pass :(
Investigating if this
caused by the patch or a latent bug in ipa-icf.
- Builds well with chromium
* Validation (1/10)
- abe/extraconfig patches
- backport review
* Public Holiday (2/10)
* Misc (1/10)
- Meetings
== Next Week ==
- Continue ongoing tasks
~ Progress ~
* TCWG-1050, GDB 8.0 release. [7/10]
** Fix PR 19942, but looks my patch is completely wrong as I fully
misunderstood the "reference count" in GDB. Writing the v2.
** Intel btrace python interface discussion, a marathon discussion
about both the interface and implementation. Good thing is that we
agree that we need to change the interface. This takes most of my
time this week.
* TCWG-1040, Review SVE patches. [2/10]
Some discussions on avoid copying register contents to a local buffer
again, which is from my review comments to Alan's patch and my
suggested patch. Spend some time on understanding the zero
initialization of union in C++. I'll update my suggested patch.
* Update AArch32 GDB buildbot option, so we can get more reasonable
test result. [1/10]
~ Plan ~
* More remote tests for GDB 8.0 release.
* Fix PR 19942.
* One day off on Thu.

Attended, we have recorded our thoughts in EuroLLVM 2017 Recap doc
[TCWG-614] Range extension thunks
- I've finished my downstream implementation, and have written almost
all the lld tests I'd like to write
- Still need to test on real large programs such as libclang.so
- Made a start at breaking down the implementation into smaller
patches that can be sensibly upstreamed
Plans for next week
[TCWG-614]
- Aiming to start upstreaming on Monday, I'm expecting this to be
quite a drawn out process
- Continue testing on ARM Linux
Planned Absences
ACCU conference 2017 27-29 April
== Progress ==
* Validation
- helped with new llvm build scripts and jobs
- improvements to container scripts to cope with llvm's higher needs
in resources
- improved tcwg-regression tests
- various to remove dependencies on env variables
- comparison script now reports the associated .exp file name,
making it easier to reproduce a regression
- experimented with lava
- started work on benchmarking scripts
* GCC
- keeping an eye on trunk regressions
- update to qemu-2.8.0 introduced regressions in validation for
armeb on some atomic tests
* misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....)
== Next ==
* Validation:
- hopefully nothing :)
* Benchmarking:scripting
== Progress ==
* EuroLLVM trip [6/10]
* [GlobalISel] AArch64 test-suite and self-host [TCWG-1074][2/10]
- Apple wants to switch the default O0 to GlobalISel for AArch64, so
we need to run tests and gather metrics
- I'm running the test-suite and selfhost with GlobalISel to see how
it performs
* Misc [2/10]
- Mailing list, code reviews, meetings, herding GlobalISel cats
(we're trying to open more communication channels with Apple so we can
unblock progress)
== Plan ==
* Wrap up TCWG-1074
* Learn more TableGen and do more code review
