== Progress == - Libssp GCC (4/10) - Rebased GCC source and added patch for stack protect and test based on global stack guard. Discussing with Marcus on generic stack protect set and test versus machine descriptions.
Discussed with ARM and Glibc Maintainers, Dropped my patches for TLS based stack guard.
- Cbuildv2 experiments (3/10) - Built cross compiler with Cbuilv2. - Discussing with Ryan on building tool chain without cbuild.validation.linaro.org dependency
- PGO support for aarch64 (1/10) Read a paper on PGO optimization in GCC
- Cross build some benchmarks(2/10). There were omp.h file missing errors when Linaro tool chain was used. The issue is the tool chain is not built with libgomp library. Rebuilt the tool chain after checkign configuration changes with Zhenqiang Chen .
== Plan == - Inverstigate Pointer Guard support in Aarch64 glibc - Continue tesing Cbuildv2 - Continue PGO investigations
