- Sifting through CVs, interviews, etc.
# Progress #
* Support range stepping on arm-linux. TCWG-518. [5/10]
Post patch series about "the thread is stepping over breakpoint but
it spawns child thread". The fix is OK but the test case changes are
being reviewed.
The more I test my range stepping patches, the more existing bugs I
find. Looking at the bug "software single step the instruction
branch to self."
* AArch64 linux syscall for record/replay. TCWG-532. [1/10]
Patch is out for review.
* Fix some ARM reverse debugging bugs. TCWG-183. [1/10]
Patch is pushed in. The original implementation wasn't carefully
reviewed, so I am sure there are bugs somewhere else.
* Patch review on arm tracepoint support. [1/10]
One patch is approved but I insist that another patch should be done
in generic part instead of ARM specific part, but the author wants do
it in ARM specific part because he things it is simpler.
* Misc [2/10]
** Go through the Linux kernel awareness GDB patches quickly, the first
reaction is "split your patch, please".
** Go to London to collect my passport.
# Plan #
* Support range stepping on arm-linux. TCWG-518.
* TCWG-167, TCWG-532.
* Prepare for the Linaro Connect travel.

Hi All,
Does linaro distributes arm-gcc as a pre-built static tool chain
distribution? If yes, where can i download them from. Please point me some
location from where i can download.

Bug with compiler flag handling - (no ticket) [2/10]
* Coremark-Pro was ignoring compiler flags
* Fixed that, made flag handling consistent across all benchmarks
Release benchmarking via Jenkins - TCWG-348 [1/10]
* Seems to work with test workload
Port to microinstance - TCG-432 [3/10]
* Looked at some inconsistent results
* Worried that one of the Junos may be sick, but unproven for now
Backport benchmarking via Jenkins - TCWG-352 [1/10]
* Finished 'general benchmarking' job
* Switched backport job to build/test cross-compilers
* Recent backport results bundles are corrupted, unable to work out why
Document benchmarking infrastructure - TCWG-496 [1/10]
* Documented Jenkins interface
Misc [2/10]
=Plan=
If updated builder becomes available, convert uinstance job to use it
Continue assessing target stability/looking at inconsistent results
Rework LAVA scripts to permit multiple targets per builder
Hi all,
I download the pre-built toolchain for one of our armv6 board.
https://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-…
After plug it into Yocto as an external toolchain, it failed to install it
correctly.
../meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-devtools/external-linaro-toolchain/
external-linaro-toolchain.bb, do_install
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_install
| cp: cannot stat
`/opt/gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-2014.04_linux/arm-none-eabi/libc/lib/*':
No such file or directory
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Joel
== This Week ==
* LTO (5/10)
- TCWG-528:
a) addressed Richard's comments.
b) investigating timeout with my patch for g++.dg/torture/pr31863.C
c) using hash_map to prevent decl from getting visited more than
once prevents the issue
d) patch: http://people.linaro.org/~prathamesh.kulkarni/increase-struct-align.diff
- Slides: mostly prepared, few tidbits (and demos) remaining
- Benchmarking: couple more failures due to my silly mistakes, now in progress.
* TCWG-310 (1/10)
- started to look at loop peeling with perf
* Public Holiday (2/10)
- Shiv Jayanti
* Misc (2/10)
- Meetings
- Committed r233426
- Looked at PR69766 caused due to r232622
== Next Week ==
- LTO: TCWG-528, benchmarking, slides
- TCWG-310
# Progress #
* Support range stepping on arm-linux. TCWG-518. [4/10]
My patches causes some regressions but my patches just expose the
existing problem in GDBserver. Fix them and post patches upstream.
* Linaro connect. [2/10]
Go to London for visa application.
* GDB 7.11 release. No issues from my side. The tentative date of
release is Feb 26th.
* Fix GDB reverse debugging tests failures.
** Add more test cases, TCWG-183/TCWG-174. [2/10]
** Fix syscall handling in reverse debugging on ARM and AArch64.
TCWG-532/TCWG-167. [2/10]
# Plan #
* Support range stepping on arm-linux. Continue.
* Fix GDB reverse debugging tests failures. Continue.
* Review upstream patches.
* Go to London to collect my passport.

== Progress ==
* Validation
- AArch64 bare metal validation fixed. Patches waiting approval
- noticed a few failures caused by timeouts and failure to download
testcases. Maybe we are causing too much load on the builders/testers
* Connect preparation
- thoughts on extended validation
* GCC
- upstream monitoring, reported a couple a of regressions
- a few backports
- target attributes backport. Still having problems with our branch
* Misc (conf calls, meetings, emails, ....)
== Next ==
Holidays most of next week
