== Progress == * AArch64 frame grows downward: no feedback yet. * Disable-peeling: trying to tune the vectorizer cost model so that it is less aggressive. * AArch64 bootstrap failure: build it still on-going, so still hoping to reproduce it. * GCC trunk cross-validation: - aarch64 added - looking at how to handle compute farm jobs timeouts nicely * Backports: - launched several merge requests for a few individual patches. == Next == * AArch64 frame grows downward: continue * Disable-peeling: continue * Backports : spend little time on checking the results

Short week (Tuesday and Wednesday went to US consulate Chennai for VISA interview and document processing). == Progress == * gprof support for aarch64 Re-based and tested. Asked permission for upstreaming in trunk. Gibc patches are upstreamed. Thanks to Marcus. * Aarch64 Boot strap failure. Tried to reproduce it in V8 model. Build failing in stage 1 for me. * 1-1 Meet with Christophe. == Plan == * Back to libssp support. * Aarch64 boot strap issue. == Issues == * LTO/PGO work stopped now since libssp support priority is more. Misc ------ October 2 India Holiday.

== Progress == * MPFR and GMP Build error with Latest 4.8 Release - Reproduced MPFR error with a simplified testcase - Found the buggy codesequence and the patch that introduced it. - Looking at solution for this - Reprdouced GMP error with -march=armv7-a and -mthumb - continuing with the invetigation * 64bit division - Looked at current libgcc implementaion and studied the alorithm. * Addressing patch review - Posted second patch for zero/sign extension * spec2k comparison between ARM and x86 - Ran spec2k with various options to validate code analysis == Plan == * Continue with spec2k comparison between ARM and x86 * Continue 64bit division * Fix GMP and MPFR build error

== Progress == (TCWG-270) * Tested GDB Process Record/Replay and reverse debug feature for arm. * Thumb32 support patch along with a couple of bug fixes made huge improvement in testsuite results. (TCWG-267) and (TCWG-269) * Reviewed all previous submitted patches and wrote response patch updates. * Implemented gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwaf2/dw2-error.exp using dwarf assembler. (TCWG-268) * Submitted patch for failing gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwaf2/dw2-case-insensitive.exp (TCWG-272) * Re-viewed and verified gdb bugs reported on launchpad and created JIRA cards where required. (TCWG-265) * Generated Test data to test instruction decoding in arm specific code of gdb process record/replay. (TCWG-280) * Reviewed previously submitted patches related to gdb process record syscall support for arm targets. * Submitted US Visa application for processing and got appointment for Visa Interview. * Reviewed all open JIRA cards and created new ones for future progress on GDB == Plan == (TCWG-270) * Submitt patch for bug fixes and show testsuite improvement with bug fixes and thumb32 patch. * Do more testing and analyse failures and try to fix them if possible. * Verify issues reported by maintainers in old arm instruction decoding code. (TCWG-267), (TCWG-268) and (TCWG-269) * Update gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwaf2/dw2-error.exp as asked by gdb maintainers. * Ping or Send response to comments.

== Issues == * None == Progress == * Update Conditional compare (CCMP) patch according to community comments. * Investigate how to generate CCMP to support more than two compares. - Investigate ifcombine to create more CCMP opportunities. - Enhancing phiopt to handle CCMP case like: if (a == 0 && b > c) return 0 return a; == Plan == * Continue on CCMP to support more than two compares. == Panned leaves == * Oct. 1-7: National Day of China holiday

== Progress == * Profiling ImageMagick - Clang 3.4-svn is around 10% less performing than GCC 4.7.3 - Mainly due to recursive octree-style map/reduce of most functions, spending a lot of time before/after branches - Any optimization on that front won't fit the "Incubation" tag * Profiling EEMBC - Found 2 cases where Clang is *a lot* better than GCC 4.7.3 (pruning bmark.c, producing much smaller objects, and vectorizing telecom/autcor, which GCC can't) - Most of the time, GCC is slightly better (~5% faster, ~10% smaller, geomean) - Wrote some scripts to run any two compilers against each other, compare the results and dump the ratios in a TSV file. == Plans == * Update EEMBC Linaro image with Clang toolchain changes * Look for low-hanging fruits in EEMBC * Try comparison with GCC 4.8 and 4.9, too * Find a way to extract Phoronix results in TSV format

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

The Linaro Toolchain and Platform Working Groups are pleased to announce the 2013.09 release of the Linaro Toolchain Binaries, a pre-built version of Linaro GCC and Linaro GDB that runs on generic Linux or Windows and targets the glibc Linaro Evaluation Build. This release introduces a set of experimental (pre-alpha) crosscompilers to big-endian ARM architectures. Uses include: * Cross compiling ARM applications from your laptop * Remote debugging * Build the Linux kernel for your board What's included: * Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.09 * Linaro Newlib 2.0 2013.06 * Linaro Binutils 2.23 2013.06 * Linaro Eglibc 2.17-2013.07-2 * Linaro GDB 7.6 2013.05 * A statically linked gdbserver * A system root * Manuals under share/doc/ The system root contains the basic header files and libraries to link your programs against. Interesting changes include: * gcc updated to 4.8-2013.09 * Initial big-endian pre-alpha versions added The Linux version is supported on Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 12.04, Debian 6.0.2, Fedora 16, openSUSE 12.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 5.7 and later, and should run on any Linux Standard Base 3.0 compatible distribution.
