Progress:
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- release work: rc5 Monday, and then 6.0 final release on Thursday.
- sent a pullreq with some accumulated arm patches now 6.1 is open
- fixed a trivial bug where WFI in the usermode emulator crashed
* QEMU-406 [QEMU support for MVE (M-profile Vector Extension; Helium)]
- Implemented more instructions: logic ops, VCLS, VCLZ, VREV, VMVN,
VABS, VNEG, VADD, VDUP, VSUB, VMULH, and widening VLDR.
(These are all simple "always call an out-of-line helper" versions.
We'll want an optimised "we know we have no predication" version
for many of them, but I plan to do that afterwards.)
- Worked through the v8M Arm ARM identifying which insns we must
implement. There are 210 insn patterns in total, of which I have
currently implemented 23, so we can produce a rough-and-ready
progress meter: 23/210 (11%)
(There is of course work to do beyond just the insns, but they
form the bulk of it, so the meter has some utility.)

Progress:
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- code review:
+ Shashi's ITS emulation patchset
+ RTH's remaining fixes for MTE
+ RTH's patchset to implement alignment checking
- release work: sadly we found a pretty nasty crasher bug at the last
minute, so we'll release rc5 on Monday and final release Thursday
(with luck)
* QEMU-406 [QEMU support for MVE (M-profile Vector Extension; Helium)]
- useful discussions with RTH about how to implement MVE and in
particular how to handle its various flavours of insn predication
- some progress in writing code to implement the first insn (VLDR)
thanks

== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- Reported a few regressions
* GCC
- committed further fix for testcase for PR96770
- sent a few testsuite improvement patches
- resumed work on MVE/auto-vectorization. Added support for vcmp.f16.
Checking fp16 support in previous patches.
* Misc
- scripts patch reviews
== Next ==
* MVE auto-vectorization/intrinsics improvements
* GCC/cortex-M testing improvements & fixes
== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- Reported a few regressions
- Reduced build frequency on release branches, now same as trunk:
daily bump and arm/aarch64 "interesting" commits
* GCC
- pinged further fix for testcase for PR96770
- preparing cortex-m55 validation setup
- looking at cmse tests vs qemu
- Linaro BZ 5755/upstream 100049
* GDB
- uploaded cleaned up last known-to-work branch to sourceware so that
maintainers can have a look at it
- uploaded latest wip based on 8.2 branch too
* Misc
- scripts patch reviews
== Next ==
* MVE auto-vectorization/intrinsics improvements
* GCC/cortex-M testing improvements & fixes
Progress:
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- Finished and posted patches implementing remap support for AN524
- Release work for rc3
- Sent a set of refactoring patches that split out some files we
were previously #including into translate.c so they are separate
compilation units.
- Thought a bit more about reset handling (in the course of writing
the AN524 remap patches I again ran into some of the deficiencies
of our current reset implementation; I really must take some time
this release cycle to try to improve things here...)
- Fixed bug where our AN547 board model accidentally disabled the FPU
on the Cortex-M55...
- ...and one where we were accidentally giving it an M33 rather than
an M55 !
- Respun and extended some patches from Paolo which fix our use of
QEMU and system headers in the 2 C++ files in the codebase (which
were broken by a change in new versions of glib)
- started looking at some of the for-6.1 patch review queue, which I
had been postponing in favour of for-6.0 stuff
* QEMU-406 [QEMU support for MVE (M-profile Vector Extension; Helium)]
- re-read the MVE portions of the v8M Arm ARM, sketched out a plan
of where to start with the QEMU implementation
thanks

It isn't a large extension, so all done. I added aarch64 simd, aarch32 neon,
and sve support all at once. I've tested it via risu vs FVP.
I've based this on my SVE2 branch, since there are some cleanups that made that
easier. I'll post patches to qemu-devel next week.

== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- No regression to report this week. Issues on gcc-9 and gcc-10
release branches had already been reported by other people.
* GCC
- pinged further fix for testcase for PR96770
- Looking at failures for cortex-M, only found testisms so far
* Misc
- Fixed benchmarking jobs on stm32
== Next ==
* MVE auto-vectorization/intrinsics improvements
* GCC/cortex-M testing improvements & fixes
* Resume GDB/FDPIC work
