== Progress ==
* Preparing presentation on auto-vec for LLVM
- For Cambridge LLVM Day next Monday
- If accepted, also for FOSDEM 14
* Tracing strided access changes needed in auto-vec (PR17677)
- Reading the paper, preparing a reference implementation
- Discussing details and preparing the LLVM code to introduce it
- After a few attempts, it's clear that the code is not yet ready to cope
with the changes
- I'll have to work on the surrounding code to re-factor it for more
robust integration
- As well as triming some other edges (like pragmas) to help implement it
* Planning Android builds
- Trying to get a reference platform (most likely the new Arndale)
- LLVMLinux folks will help streamlining a kernel package for it
* Connect reservations, booking flight, etc.
- All done!
== Plan ==
* Monday at Cambridge LLVM Day at CUCL
* 3.4 Release testing
* Looking at vectorization pragmas and general structure of the memory
dependency checks
== Progress ==
* Fix ld testsuite on mainlne
* More malloc debugging and refactoring
* glibc patch review
* Investigate gdb hardware breakpoint issues
== Issues ==
* Didn't get much done on Friday due to sick baby
== Plan ==
* malloc
* Follow up glibc docs patches
* Further investigate gdb hardware breakpoint issue

Toolchain Working Group, Linaro
Short week: 2 days off after Connect.
== Progress ==
* LP 1243656: reverted commit which causes a regression in GNU tar's tests.
* Committed Kugan and Zhenqiang's backports to our branch
* Status on backports: ILP32 support missing from binutils is blocking
quite a few GCC backports (because of dependencies between commits)
* Some problems building trunk since Nov 5th (failures in eglibc)
== Next ==
* Make 2013.11 releases
* Continue working on GNU tar problem: find a proper fix.
* Commit 'aarch64 frame grows downward' patch if Richard approves it.
* Check status of aarch64 lib sanitizer branch if Rob manages to have
it build & execute tests
* Check Neon intrinsics testsuite status with Rob
== Progress ==
* Monday off for recovery from Connect.
* Created git_revisions branch for refactoring
* Added verified and correct --help and --usage text.
* Error check for spurios '=' after --<switch>
* Add toplevel test.sh for testing cbuild2.sh commands
* Fix get_URL and checkout to support git revisions.
* Improve dryrun to prevent grepping missing files.
* Added glibc support to cbuild2.
* Cleaned up merged cbuildv2 remote development branches
* Started cbuild2 bisect.
== Plan ==
* Merge glibc support upstream
== Issues ==
* None
== Progress ==
* Monday and Tuesday off for Jetlag recovery.
* Arm process record:
- Updated Patches for all fixes and features.
- Performed testing in arm native and remote configuration.
- Performed regression testing on arm and x86.
- Submitted all new patches after updates.
* Started gdb.reverse test suite failure investigation and open new Jira
issues accordingly.
* Started work co-processor instructions decoding for arm process record.
== Plan ==
* Continue work on co-processor instruction decoding for arm process record.
* Respond to upstream suggestions on patches sent previously.
== Issues ==
* Binaries build FAIL in cbuild, but OK in local build.
== Progress ==
* Misc update for Linaro crosstool-ng
- Update newlib to 2013.11.
- Modify scripts to meet the check of A-profile multilib support.
- Add fortran/libfortran support for bare metal build.
- Fix multi-lib conflict issue in local patch
- A refer A-profile bare metal build is shared at
http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/snapshots/gcc-linaro-arm-none-eabi-4.8-…
* Update conditional compare patch according to comments.
* Investigate heuristic to tune ifcombine (TCWG-313).
== Plan ==
* Fix the binaries build FAIL issues.
* Continue on CCMP.
* Continue on ifcombine tuning.
== Planed leaves ==
* Nov. 15 - 16: Team event and HelloGCC in Beijing.
== Progress ==
- Looked into Cbuild2 and current benchmarking scripts
- Talked to Rob to understand the requirements and plan for next 2 weeks
- Backported gcc testcase fix that causes regression in Linaro 4.8 for
armv5te.
== Plan ==
- Taking leave next week.
- Start with benchmarking scripts after that
Worked from AMD Austin.
== Progress ==
* TLS based libssp support.
Solved segmentation faults in clone and fork tests regressing from
the patch I wrote. Ran glibc tests.
Two tests still fail, tst-cancel-17.c and tst-memqueue8.c. They both
use pthread_cancel and with my patch they time out. Debugging it to
find the cause. Informed Maintainer about my status and got some
advice to debug.
== Plan ==
* Taking vacation next week.
* But will continue send out gcc patch for libssp.
* reinstall ubuntu on my laptop
== Progress ==
* Enabled building GDB in all Cbuildv2 builds for --build all.
* Added support for Cbuildv2 to to build GDB source tarball.
* Got Canadian Crosses building via Cbuildv2, although I have to
apply a one line patch, which I was trying to avoid.
* Enabled Canadian Cross builds via Jenkins.
* Source and binary snapshots builds via Jenkins now getting copied
to snapshots.linaro.org.
* Got started migrating Christophe's neon intrinsic test cases to
GCC testsuite.
* Added DejaGnu 'linaro' branch to Cbuildv2 infrastructure so
the new baseboard files are available for Jenkins builds.
* Applied Christophe's libsanitizer patch on aarch64 APM board and
tried to get GCC to compile. Unsuccessful so far.
* Installed crouton 'saucy' on new HP Chromebook 11.
* Installed Fedora 19 on Samsung Chromebook.
* Started adding support to Cbuildv2 for building LLVM and
Clang and other components. I wish they all used autotools. :-)
* Got Gerrit working for GCC and Cbuildv2. The LAVA team has been
very helpful, but the setup docs miss way too many critical
details.
== Plan ==
* Figure out how to gpg sign the tarballs cbuildv2 is producing in
a secure manner.
* Finish adding support for building GDB binary tarballs.
* More work on neon intrinsics test cases.
* Work with new team member Mike to help him get up to
speed on all things Linaro.
* Try to get GCC trunk to build on aarch64.
* Off to the "Hacker's Conference" out here in Santa Cruz, back
home late Monday night.
== Issues ==
* Eglibc defines caddr_t as a typedef, where auto-host for a
Canadian Cross defines caddr_t, so stage2 fails to build.
* Sucked up all the disk space in the toolchain_cloud instance, so
all Jenkins builds are not working.
* We'd like to rename Cbuildv2 to something else, suggestions
welcome. :-)
