== This Week ==
* PR97872 (missed optimization for comparison on vectors)
- Committed fix to trunk
* PR97903 (Lower a & b != 0 to vtst)
- In progress
* PR66791 (Replace builtins by vector extensions in arm_neon.h intrinsics)
- Committed patches for vmvn
- Patches approved for vcreate, vneg, vclt, vcgt.
== Next Week ==
- PR97903
- PR66791: Commit approved patches and work on new intrinsics
Progress:
* UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ sent out a pullreq for 6.0, and did a bunch more patch review
+ sent out a respin of the "build one manual, not five" RFC I sent last
month; nobody objected to the RFC so this time around it is a proper
PATCH
+ had a brief scan through the GIC architecture specification to look
at what extra GICv4 and GICv4.1 add (the big thing is that the ITS is
now mandatory; QEMU doesn't emulate that yet)
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
+ SSE-300 timer device model more or less functionally-complete (though
untested). I ran into some issues with QEMU's Clock APIs that I needed
to fix in the process -- sent a patchseries trying to address those.
+ Got most of the outstanding v8.1M patches into master; sent a small
patch series with respins of the last 4 or so patches that needed
more work
thanks

== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- reported several regressions/new failures
* GCC
- Neon intrinsics: vceqq, vceqz and vceqzq for p64 patch: no feedback
- MVE autovectorization: committed vand and vorr patches. Sent updated
versions of veor, vbic and vmvn. vshr and vshl need some
refactorization with Neon versions, clarified the best way to go with
Arm maintainers.
- PR97875 (suboptimal vectorization on MVE): investigation shows that
movmisalign patterns are missing for MVE.
* benchmarking:
- Scripts to run coremark on stm32 now merged, debugging issues. No
progress this week.
* infra:
- debugging issues with our docker containers
- looking at ABE patches
* misc:
- provided feedback to Arm's partner wrt Intrinsics documentation
== Next ==
* GCC/cortex-M testing improvements & fixes
* cortex-m benchmarking
* MVE auto-vectorization/intrinsics improvements
[UM-59]
More work on softfloat rem; f128 still needs work.
[UM-2]
Patch review, notably v8.1m, mips cleanups, arc port.
Revisions to arm alignment patch set.
