== GCC ==

* Internal ARM tasks that kept me busy for some time this week. * Reworked the divmodsi4 patch based on comments. Still some test failures that need to be investigated. * Started working on the performance improvement plan for GCC 4.5. * Number of patch reviews upstream. * Looking at A9 memset issue. . * Got an internal bug report about the 4.4 tools from someone using it which had to do with a missing backport. This is now lp:709329. Backported and testing. * Backported a missing upstream patch into GCC 4.5 for bswap patterns. * Wrote up on how to cross-test with qemu and updated that on the Linaro wiki. Comments are welcome.

Plans:

* Find out the default number of iterations needed for steady state with EEMBC. * Finish testing fix for lp:709329 and get that committed. * Finish off divmodsi4 patch and get it's testing completed and finished. * Submit backport for bswapsi at Os fix (PR44392) for gcc-linaro * Finish the plan for GCC performance improvements based on what we discussed at the sprint. * Away 2-1/2 days next week for an internal engineering conference.
