== 64 bit atomics == * Submitted patches to gcc patch list - One comment back already asking if we should really change ARM to have a VDSO to make checks of the user helper version easier

* Added thumb ldrexd/strexd to valgrind; patch added to bug in their bugtracker (KDE bug 266035)

* Came to the conclusion eglibc doesn't actually need any changes - It's got a place holder for a 64bit routine, but it's unused and isn't exposed to the libc users - Note that neither eglibc or glibc built cleanly from the trunk on ARM. * Started digging into QEmu a bit more to find out how to solve the helper problem

== String routines ==

* Added SPEC2k6 string routine results to my charts; while most stuff is in the noise it seems the bionic routine is a bit slower overall than everything else, and my absolutely trivially simple ~5 instruction loop is a tie for the fastest with my smarter 4 byte/loop using uadd.

== Next week == * Sleep, Rest, Relaxation, getting older * (Will be polling email for any more follow ups on my gcc patches)
