Working on memory map layout for TSAN in Aarch64 (TCWG-581) .
* Fix Bug 863(Linaro)/ 63949(FSF) (2/10).
Tested patches and fixed few aarch64 regressions.
got feedback that approach is good. planning to send a revised patch
for stage 1.
* Emails, meetings. (3/10)

* internal AMD meetings, 1-1 with AMD manager.
* GCC mailing list.
Leave on 26-Jan-2014 (India Holiday)

* Send revised patch for Bug 863

LLDB vs GDB investigation [TCWG-583] [4/10]
-- Scoring of previous patches and mailing list discussions
-- Tried and was able to build+test lldb on x86_64 linux
-- Tried and was able to build (but not test) lldb on arm linux
-- Tried lldb AArch64 build but couldnt get it going successfully.
Some gdb bug fixing and wrap up open gdb stuff [4/10]
Miscellaneous [2/10]
-- Meetings, Emails etc
-- Connect Preparation: Flights Confirmation, Visa pick up etc.
== Plan ==
Try fixing LLDB testsuite on arm and try out aarch64 build if possible.
ABE benchmarking automation - TCWG-360 [6/10]
* Fixed an awkward escaped process
* Struggled with LAVA timeouts & discovered that some Junos
accidentally have a baked-in timeout
* More discussion/thinking about where to store benchmark source
* Some trouble with intermittent flakiness when copying large chunks
of data over the lab network
Investigating cache effects on Juno - LDTS-1238 [2/10]
Misc - [2/10]
* Featuring catomics (TCWG-436) - implemented a few missing catomics
(well under 1/10)
=Plan=
Pack for office move
Fix intermittent copying problem
Look more at cache effects on Juno
Test Jenkins dispatch (Rob says it works now)
* Look into triggering coremark on every backport
Carry on, hopefully close, storage discussion
Benchmark catomic patches
Write up/think about where to go with libm exercising
== Progress ==
* Automation Framework (CARD-1378 2/10)
- Rebooting machines, again...
- Fiddling with bugzilla, wiki
* Release 3.6 (TCWG-575 5/10)
- Investigating ARMv7 bootstrapping failures
- Rebuilding manually with cmake, as autoconf build is bogus
- Turns out wasn't autoconf, but a NEON bug reported 14th Dec
- Benchmarking AArch64 3.6-RC1 against 3.5.1 - all good
* Background (3/10)
- Code review, meetings, discussions, etc.
- More Jira farming
- Investigating some weird llvm-objdump issues
- Fixing ninja output issue on bots with an ugly hack
== Plan ==
* Bisect NEON bug, revert the patch, back-port to 4.6 RC2
* Add a NEON+T2 full buildbot (dragonboard) to the list of public bots
* Benchmark ARMv7 3.6 RC1 or RC2 against 3.5.1
== Progress ==
* GCC trunk/4.9 monitoring (1/10)
* AArch64 sanitizers (3/10)
- patched LLVM to reduce the number of failures to 2 on Juno
- need access to a board with different memory layout to make sure
my patches actually support all configurations
* Neon intrinsics tests (2/10)
- committed most of the series
- addressed comments received on a few of them
- looked at error reported by vmax test: I needed to force AArch64
FPCR.DN=1 in the test, posted updated patch.
* Misc (4/10)
- meetings, conf-calls, emails, ...
== Next ==
* GCC trunk/4.9 monitoring
* AArch64 sanitizers
* abe: look at backport and tcwgweb scripts
