== Progress ==
* Validation
- extended validation: submitted ABE patch for discussion
- noticed random results on some tests in the Cambridge lab.
maybe caused by excessive load on the tester, or stdout/stderr problems
- investigating how to actually separate stdout/stderr streams in dejagnu
* GCC:
- branch merge review for 2016.03 snapshot
- AdvSIMD/Neon intrinsics tests: more cleanup, wondering about
poly128_t prototypes
* Misc (conf calls, meetings, emails, ....)
== Next ==
* Validation:
- more on extended validation
- random tests investigation
- more on stdout/stderr
* GCC:
- trunk monitoring, report regressions if needed
- intrinsics tests cleanup
== This Week ==
* LTO (3/10)
a) section anchors:
- prototype patch to bind functions to global vars
- looked at balanced partitioning
b) chromium LTO build fails with ICE on trunk for arm-linux-gnueabihf:
http://pastebin.com/sX6yKLBP
c) ipa-comdat
- Looked at the pass.
- trying to address TODO: put symbol in it's own comdat section
* Validation (1/10)
- prototype job in bash.
* Holidays (6/10)
== Next Week ==
Continue ongoing tasks
Port to microinstance - TCWG-432 [5/10]
* Non-lab side of minimal trust benchmarking
* More investigation of runtime anomalies
* Reordered builder phases to do useful work while waiting for targets
* Updated everything to work with benchmarking LAVA user (rather than
running as me)
Automated backport benchmarking - TCWG-352 [2/10]
* Cycles of review/development/testing
Controlled image builds - TCWG-360 [1/10]
* More failures to get image to boot on Juno
Log critical data - TCWG-349 [1/10]
* Everything now logged, except where it depends on TCWG-360
Misc - [1/10]
=Plan=
Finish non-lab side of minimal trust benchmarking
Commit backport benchmarking, review permitting
Tweak microinstance in reaction to lab work
More Juno image work
More runtime anomaly work
=Availability=
Off from this Friday, back for three days from Monday 4th April
Return to ARM on Thursday 7th April
== This week ==
* Bugzilla 69663 - [ARM] Implement overflow arithmetic standard names (5/10)
- Resolved 50% of thumb2 failures
- Resolved issues with overlapping registers and not setting
condition codes
- Wrote compile only test cases that pass validation
* TCWG-247 - Create Validation Job to run on GCC Trunk Commits (2/10)
- Investigation into Python API for discovering when Jenkins builders
are idle
* Linaro connect recovery day (2/10)
* Misc meeting (1/10)
== Next week ==
* Bugzilla 69663 - [ARM] Implement overflow arithmetic standard names
- Resolve remaining thumb2 issues
* TCWG-247
- Create prototype implementation
= Progress ==
* Day off (2/10)
- After Connect, recuperating, jet lagging
* EuroLLVM (6/10)
- Flying Wed to Barcelona, attending conference
- Back on Saturday
* Background (2/10)
- Code review, meetings, discussions, general support, etc.
- Planning for a bigger team (git, Jenkins, infrastructure)
* Sick on Monday [2/10]
# Progress #
* AArch64/ARM linux syscall for process record. [2/10] TCWG-532
ARM patch (fixing the register for syscall arg pass) is committed.
Canonicalize ARM syscall patch is posted for review.
* Support range stepping on arm-linux. [4/10] TCWG-545
Preparatory patches fixing bugs when "single step the instruction
branch to itself" are being reviewed. Pedro thinks my patches may
not work in some rare cases, and I spend some time writing the case
and prove it won't happen.
* Misc [2/10]
** file expense,
** upstream patch review,
# Plan #
* TCWG-532
* TCWG-545
