* ARM: Do not test for CPUs, use SubtargetFeatures [TCWG-623] [4/10]
- First patch committed upstream (6 features / properties)
- Another patch in upstream review (5 features / properties)
- Working on another series of patches
* Use member initializers in ARMSubtarget [TCWG-659] [1/10]
- Trivial refactoring suggested during code review for TCWG-623
- Committed upstream
* Unbreak the selfhost bots [TCWG-661] [1/10]
- Currently bisecting the issue affecting
clang-cmake-thumbv7-full-sh (in progress)
- Tried bisecting one of the issues affecting
clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost and clang-cmake-armv7-selfhost-neon, but
the test board died in the process; Renato is trying to reproduce on
one of his boards
* Remove exit-on-error flag from CodeGen tests [TCWG-604]
- Finally committed upstream

* TCWG-653 Add interworking thunks to LLD
Investigated and reported upstream bug in existing implementation.
This has been fixed by reverting the change that introduced it. Got
some feedback about whether I would need to strictly follow existing
Thunk implementation.
Implemented an alternative thunk mechanism that should generalise to
supporting range extension and interworking thunks. It is passing the
existing lld regression tests.
== Plans ==
Finish off support for and add tests for ARM/Thumb interwork.
Tidy up and submit upstream.
== Progress ==
* Validation
- experimenting backport-multijob
- noticed dejagnu problems when trying to kill processes that timed out
- abe and jenkins configs patches / reviews
* Backports/snapshots
- restarted a few validations, to try to recover from disk full issues
* GCC
- neon-testgen.ml removal patch sent upstream
- PR 67591 (ARM v8 Thumb IT blocks deprecated)
- followup on vect.exp's check_vect() support for old arm cores.
- neon-fp16 tests consistency patch posted
- a couple of regressions flagged on trunk
* cortex-strings
- updated aarch64/strlen
* Support
* misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....)
== Next ==
* Validation:
- patch reviews
- look at xenial, docker builders
* Backports
- restart the ones that failed due to disk space issues
* GCC
- monitor trunk regressions
- fix "check_vect" guard in gcc.dg/vect tests
- pr 67591
- advsimd tests
== Progress ==
o Extended Validation (1/10)
- Benchmarking job babysitting.
o Linaro GCC (5/10)
- Merged FSF GCtC 6 branch
- Reviewed backports (very tedious because of infra issues)
- Released June snapshots (5.4 and 6.1)
o Upstream GCC (2/10)
- ARMv8.1 libatomic: Reading and code analysis.
o Misc (2/10)
* Various meetings and discussions.
== Plan ==
o Continue on-going tasks (libatomic, benchamrking)
# Progress #
* TCWG-333, ISA bit treatment in ARM thumb mode. [2/10]
Post a patch to skip the test for thumb mode. Finish the prototype
which shows many issues that I can't overcome. Convince myself that
we should skip the test rather than support that in GDB.
* TCWG-518, ARM range stepping patches. [3/10].
11 of 12 patches are approved, and some of them are already
committed. Need to address one comment that merge to execution paths
into one, which requires some big changes in GDBserver for linux.
* TCWG-651, Support 'catch syscall' in remote for aarch64 and arm.[3/10]
My patches are posted upstream.
* TCWG-556, aarch64 gdb buildbot. [1/10]
They are online.
http://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/Ubuntu-AArch64-m64/http://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/Ubuntu-AArch64-native-gdbserver-m64
* TCWG-654, Build both cross/native arm/aarch64 gcc 5.4.1 to replace
the gcc in my gdb tests. Ongoing. [1/10]
# Plan #
* Follow up all of them above,
* Holiday from Wed - Fri.

IPA VRP
- Implemented a version of early VRP.
- Verified with simple test cases.
- Some test cases are failing in regression testing, looking into it.
- Some design decisions need to be firmed up with the upstream
discussions.
== Plan ==
- Follow upon remaining upstream patches
- IPA VRP
== Progress ==
* Out of office on Monday [2/10]
* Remove exit-on-error flag from CodeGen tests [TCWG-604] [1/10]
- This is a follow-up of TCWG-592: when changing the diag handler,
some of the tests started to fail, so we had to add an exit-on-error
flag to preserve the old behaviour until we can fix the tests.
- Patch fixing one of the AMDGPU tests (PR27761) - in upstream review
- Patch fixing the ARM test (PR27765) - committed upstream
- Submitted a patch removing the flag from llc - accepted upstream,
pending on approval of AMDGPU patch
* Use git worktree in llvm helper scripts [TCWG-587] [2/10]
- Merged. Working on some follow-up stories
- Change interface to llvm-build [TCWG-629] - Modify llvm-build to
accept the targets defined by CMake
- Fix a bug in llvm-env [TCWG-644] - Initially went unnoticed due to
zsh vs bash differences
- Allow cloning from read-only repo [TCWG-652] - This is so non-TCWG
people can use our helper scripts
* ARM: Do not test for CPUs, use SubtargetFeatures [TCWG-623] [5/10]
- Submitted a patch extracting 6 new subtarget features
- Investigating more features that could be extracted
== Plan ==
* OOO on Monday and Tuesday
* ARM: Do not test for CPUs, use SubtargetFeatures [TCWG-623]
== Progress ==
* Validation
- disk full on builders: analysis simply shows that we need more disk :)
- updated "buildapp" job to support building the Linux kernel. We
need more dev packages installed in the *build* schroots for it to
work though.
* Backports/snapshots
- fsf-6 branch merge review
* GCC
- small cleanup in neon* effective-target tests done
- re-testing neon-testgen.ml removal patch
- PR 67591 (ARM v8 Thumb IT blocks deprecated)
- followup on vect.exp's check_vect() support for old arm cores.
* Support
* Misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ...)
== Next ==
* Validation:
- patch reviews
* Backports
- restart the ones that failed due do disk space issues
* GCC
- monitor trunk regressions
- fix "check_vect" guard in gcc.dg/vect tests
- hopefully test-neongen.ml removal
- pr 67591
- advsimd tests

TCWG-611 Initial Thumbv7a support for LLD committed upstream.
Interworking is supported via BLX only. This is enough to run hello
world on a modern arm-linux-gnueabihf target.
TCWG-653 Interworking veneer support for LLD
The existing support for veneers (thunks in LLD terminology) is Mips
specific for non-pi to pi calls. Unless there is something I'm missing
it looks broken in the general case as well.
I have an implementation of minimal veneers that I'm not particular
happy with, but can experiment with to see what the implementation
options are. I am likely to need to go via and RFC first.
Holiday on Friday.
== Next Week ==
Continue working on TCWG-653.
