== Progress ==
Environment setup, installations, board setup etc [4/10]
-- Prepared a local dev machine to work with in absence of lab.
-- Prepare panda board for gdb on android testing.
-- Figure out SSH failure issues with gdb testsuite runs.

-- Getting to know CBuildv2 tried to set it up locally.
On travel to submit Hong Kong visa application [5/10]
Miscellaneous [1/10]
-- Meetings, Emails etc
== Plan ==
Try android boot with foundation model some more and hope that it works.
Resume AArch64 work with lab availability.
Review and update GDB related cards.

- Various meetings.
== Plan ==
* Back on backports
cbuild2 benchmarking - TCWG-360 [5/10]
* Fixed some bugs and did some general tidying up
* Pulled SPEC2000 into my framework
* Did some test runs on local machines, looks promising
libm exercising - TCWG-558 [3/10]
* Much fiddling with one benchmark (MCB)
* Experimented, thought about methodology
Meetings/mail/etc - [2/10]
=Plan=
cbuild2 benchmarking
* Tweak eembc - it worked before, but spec forced me to change the
scripts a little
* Test in LAVA/new TCWG infrastructure when available
* Test repeatability (depends on above)
* Possibly have another go at building tools on AArch64
libm exerising
* Work through the most interesting benchmarks with a fixed method
* Hopefully reach the end and do some analysis
= Progress ==
* TSAN support for Aarch64 (4/10)
* Fix Linaro Bug 863,869 - reproduced them. Working on fixing 863 (1/10)
* Misc [3/10]
Emails, linaro and AMD status meetings.
1-1 with inline mangers (Mev, Ryan).
1-1 with christophe.
* 11/11/2014 Leave (2/10)
The task on "Debug and understand the inline differences trunk vs linaro
compiler for core mark at -O3 with LTO + PGO" is on hold now.
== Plan ==
* TSAN support for Aarch64.
* Fix Linaro Bug 863
* AMD internal event on 17/11/2014.
== Progress ==
* Zero/sign extension elimination with widening types (5/10)
- Addressing comments from the review
* Improve block memory operations by GCC (TCWG-142 - 5/10)
- Looked at gcc/glibc implementations
- Experimented with x86_64 vs ARM and found different implementation
decisions
- Discussed work items
== Plan ==
* Continue with improve block memory operations by GCC.
* Continue with Zero/sign extension.
== Progress ==
* Building an ILP32 toolchain for AArch64 (5/10, TCWG-559)
* Investigate ARM port of lld (3/10)
* Email, meetings, etc. (2/10)
== Issues ==
* None
== Plan ==
* Further work on ILP32 toolchain
* LLD

Will Newton
Toolchain Working Group, Linaro
1 day off (2/10)
== Progress ==
* Linaro GCC 4.8
- updated branch merge, to include the latest errata-related backport
- added Michael's backport for bug #534.
* GCC trunk/4.9 cross-validation (2/10)
- updated vbic/vorn tests patch
- trying to track down cause of spurious 'interrupted system call'
errors in the ST Compute Farm
* AArch64 sanitizer (1/10)
- After discussing with Arnd, the kernel patch causing trouble to
libsanitizer should also be backported to stable kernel branches. This
makes a compiler test based on kernel version impracticable.
- Shared this feedback with sanitizer maintainers, got no feedback.
- libsanitizer maintainers have updated GCC's snapshot with a more
recent version:
- GCC trunk now requires updated kernel headers for aarch64
- reported regressions when the compiler generates Thumb code
(incomplete backtrace)
* Neon intrinsics tests (2/10)
- submitted a series of 9 new tests.
- looking at vldX bugs on aarch64_be, along with ARM's incomplete patches.
* cbuild2
- no progress
* Misc (3/10)
- calls, meetings, support
== Next ==
* AArch64 sanitizers
* Neon intrinsics
* cbuild2 (improve backport-test and tcwgweb)
