LLDB Development
-- Tried lldb-server cross build for AArch64 target on x86 host
[1/10] [TCWG-640]
-- Tried lldb-server cross build for ARM target on x86 host [4/10] [TCWG-641]
GDB Development
-- Started writing tests for arm-gdb instruction recording [3/10] [TCWG-677]
-- Started writing tests for aarch64-gdb instruction recording
[1/10] [TCWG-517]
Miscellaneous [1/10]
-- Some work on setting up 96board for testing lldb-server
-- Emails/Meetings etc
== Plan ==
More work for ARM and AArch64 support in LLDB
Do some more work on arm/aarch64 gdb instruction recording tests
* ASAN/TSAN run on 42 bit VA Aarch64 with 64 bit allocators (TCWG-634) (3/10)
Tried various allocator sizes in juno, still fails.
On amd-01, Debugging LLVM test failures in gdb.
* Emails, meetings. (2/10)
* Linaro 1-1 with christophe. status call.
* AMD meetings/event, 1-1 with AMD manager, status meeting.
* GCC mailing list.
* AMD internal meeting (4/10)
* Half day off on 12/3/2015(1/10)
== Plan ==
*Continue TSAN/ASAN support look why 64 allocator on juno is failing .
* Bug869
== Progress ==
Off sick [4/10]
Backporting [2/10]
. unexpected conflicts and test failures meant that previous attempts
were abandoned
. will try again for 2015.04
Benchmarking [1/10]
. one config failed, restarted in Jenkins
. accessing Jenkins benchmarks still requires help from Bernie due to
permissions
Misc [3/10]
. emails about bugs
. meetings
. verification of lab fixes
== Progress ==
* Linaro bugs (2/10)
#1325
* type promotion pass (zero/sign extension elimination) - TCWG-547 (5/10)
- tried to improve some of the aspects and made it more aggressive
- improved handling of CASE_CONVERT
- tried it on CoreMark and it reduces the number of instructions
in per object file basis.
- bootstrapped the latest improvement on x86-64 and regression tested
on x86-64, ARM and AARCH64. noticed few LTO failures on ARM and AARCH64.
Looking into it.
- Plan to run spec2k again
- Current version at linaro-dev/type-promotion-pass
(https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=refs/heads/linaro-dev/typ…)
* Misc (1/10)
- gcc-patchs and gcc-bugs list
* Public Holiday (2/10)
== Plan ==
* TCWG-620 and TCWG-547
== This week ==
* TCWG-619:
- Cross compiled chromium for ARM without LTO
- Ran into issues with native and ARM lto build of chromium
* GCC Modularization Project:
* TCWG-621:
- Begun refactoring sel-sched-ir.h
* TCWG-639:
- Fixed issue with header flattening script.
* Bugs:
- 1178: Another triage, got reviewed from Charles.
* Backports:
- r218232, r218525.
== Next week ==
* Continue investigating LTO build issues on ARM and x86.
* submit patch to 1178 upstream.
* Target hook conversion
== Progress ==
* Automation Framework (CARD-1378 4/10)
- Restarting more dead machines
- Discussing more infrastructure
- Investigating PDU deamon
* Maintenance (CARD-1833 4/10)
- Making the case for all table-gen files to be built
- This would allow us to create TargetDescription
- Which would ease target-specific knowledge on all tools
- And common up the parser for fpu/cpu/arch features
- Adding commit message guidelines to developer policy
* Background (4/10)
- Code review, meetings, discussions, etc.
- Discussions about CMake, options, etc
- Cleaning up gateway, moving LLVM services to llvm server
- Making serial connections work for LLVM machines
- Fiddling with HiKey board
== Plan ==
* Continue TargetDescription changes
* Continue PDU investigations
* Move serial to abe, so we can work around auth issues
# Progress #
* aarch64 gdb , TCWG-652, [6/10]
** TCWG-663: Patches are posted upstream for review. Bernie gives me a
pandaboard and set it up. I can do HW breakpoint testing for both
aarch64 and arm.
** TCWG-670: Patch is posted upstream for review. Takes some time
to understand aarch64 syscall name and number.
** Write some bash scripts to test my gdb patches.
* fsf gdb patch review [2/10]
** Review and approve catch syscall code refactor.
* misc [2/10]
** two meetings.
# Plan #
* Other cards under TCWG-652.
* Investigate on GDB/LLDB performance.
* TCWG-660: Teach ABE to import systemtap and build glibc with
--enable-systemtap.
