== Summary == - http://cards.linaro.org/browse/TCWG-13 - performance regression is due to alignment of function. - there is an increase in runtime of core_state_transition even though there is no difference in the code generated with the patch - Adding nops seems to improve the locality and performance; it gets better than without the patch for THUMB2.

- Get spec2000 results for http://cards.linaro.org/browse/TCWG-14 to decide on the next step - Couldn’t get SPEC2000 results with CBUILD - set-up spec benchmarks in chromebook and now running locally. - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+spec/better-end-of-loop-counter... - Initial investigation shows that the code generated is same as expected.

== Plan == - http://cards.linaro.org/browse/TCWG-13 - follow it up - Get spec2000 results for http://cards.linaro.org/browse/TCWG-14 to decide on the next step - Look for improvement in VRP for zero/sign extension
