Automated release benchmark Jenkins job - TCWG-348 [2/10]
* Drafted a job, it succeeds in dispatching to the uinstance
* Needs testing
Port to microinstance - TCWG-432 [5/10]
* Almost entirely fixing up the CPU2006 -> LAVA reporting
* Should now be able to report CPU2000 results as well
Misc [3/10]
* Mail/meetings/etc
* Connect slides
=Plan=
If builder is available, convert uinstance jobs to use it
Test release benchmark job
Produce image reports in microinstance
Attempt to finish backport benchmarking
Actually finish documentation

* TCWG-518. Support range stepping on arm-linux. Ongoing. [2/10]
First do software single step in GDBserver side.
* TCWG-509. GDB 7.11 release. [1/10]
PR 19474, review Keith's patch. The patch is OK to mainline, but we
don't want to take risk shipping this patch to 7.11 release.
* Misc, register to Linaro Connect BKK16, and get clarifications on my
visa to Thailand. [1/10]
* Monitor the discussions on kenernel awareness upstreams, and comment
on the display of CPSR register.

== Progress ==
* Validation
- disabled Auto Backport Engine until the patch selection
is improved to avoid saturating the builders with undesirable
builds.
- AArch64 bare metal validation (bug #2011). Submitted a patch
for dejagnu aarch64-fv8.exp, and one for our builders schroots.
Will need another patch, in ABE.
- timeout issues: no progress
* Misc (conf calls, meetings, emails, ....)
- internal discussions
== Next ==
* Validation
- debug timeout issues
- cleanup
