== Last week == * CoreMark ARMv6/v7 regressions: posted another combine patch upstream, which was quickly approved and committed. The XOR simplification one is now approved too, but needs a little more revising of comments before committing.

* The above two patches now bring CoreMark under -march=armv7-a to very close of the performance of -march=armv5te. However, a regression where uxtb+cmp cannot be combined into 'ands ... #255' still causes v7 to lose slightly. This should be the final issue to solve...

* Launchpad #736007/GCC Bugzilla PR48183: NEON ICE in emit-rtl.c:immed_double_const() under -g. Posted patch upstream, but looks like more discussion is needed before we know if this is the "right" way to do it.

* Launchpad #736661, armel FTBFS (G++ ICE in expand_expr_real_1()). Looking at this.

* Pinged a few upstream patch submissions.

== This week == * Launchpad #723185/CS issue #9845 now assigned to me, start looking at this. * Get the XOR patch committed upstream, and the above described uxtb+cmp issue solved. * Work on other GCC issues.
