== Progress ==
* Pandaboard
- Using GNU ld didn't help the problem, and made compilation time double
to 5hs!
- Reverting to Gold and will keep an eye on it
* Release 3.3 finished
- Tested and released, just waiting the final email
* Linaro+ARM sync meeting
- Setting priorities, requesting approval for some work items
* Phoronix
- Script to run batch mode ready at:
http://people.linaro.org/~rengolin/llvm/scripts/
- Got some results, generally on par, some big differences could be due to
compilation options
- Some tests still run GCC, even with CC being Clang, Clang-only options
(slp vect) cannot be tested
- No way yet to share this data internally, working with IT to find a
solution
* CBuild
- Merged Clang changes, running job again
- Autodetecting ARMv7
* LLVM administrativia
- many patches to review this week
- vectorizer also being enabled by default on -O2 and -Os
- testing vectorizer with -Os on chromebook, found no big differences
== Issues ==
None
== Plan ==
* Phoronix
- Store the base runs somewhere (people.linaro?) and have the script
install them to compare with any run on the board.
- Think of a way to put bootstrap & phoronix in LAVA/CBuild (whatever is
easier), so I can use the calxeda nodes without worry if they'll be up or
down
* Pandaboard
- Use GCC 4.8 on linaro-panda-02 and hope to solve the problem
* CBuild
- Finish LLVM+Clang change (merge pending) and try to run some benchmarks
with it
* PerfDB
- Install website locally, try to cook some analysis

== Progress ==
* Merges for linaro-4.8-2013.06 and linaro-4.7-2013.06
- Spent most of my time on this activity, with Yvan
- A few cbuild issues, local disk full, and other local disk crash
- Investigating why the cross-validations lack libpthread and libdl
(required since libsanitizer backport). The libs are present, but not
found by the compiler.
* Registered for Connect/Dublin
== Next ==
* Complete merges quickly, to enable release this week.
* Disable-peeling: resume work
* Better end of loop counter optim: discuss with Kugan
* libsanitizer/aarch64: resume work
* Neon intrinsics/vzup/veor: resume work
* Book hotel/flight for Connect/Dublin
== Issues ==
* None.
== Progress ==
* Releases merge reviews:
- Most of the week spent on this activity
- Lot of reviews and cbuild issues
- some reviews still on-going
* Jira cards:
- Closed card #108 on Tiny memory model support.
- Created Card #167 for TLS support in the Tiny memory model.
* LRA on ARM and AArch64:
- Raise the issue to LRA maintainer (Vladimir Makarov)
- will iterate with him in the coming weeks.
* Launchpad bug #1187247
- started to look at it.
== Plan ==
* Finishing reviews
* Bug #1187247
* LRA
== Progress ==
* AARCH64 testing
Drilling down Boot strap failure with GCC 4.9 trunk on open embedded
image with V8 model
Sent the steps to reproduce boot strap failure in the model to team.
Renoto suggestion to add libgcc_eh.a explicilty is not working well at
all places.
Trying few other options (LDFLAGS, --with-stage1-libs ) to pass
libgcc_eh.a to the xg++ build.
* libssp support for Aarch64
Wrote down the steps needed to implement the support in Aarch64. Sent
mail to Matt for a review.
Working on machine descriptions for stack_protect_set and stack_protect_test.
* Filled online VISA Application form. Collected Relevent documents needed.
Hotel rooms are not available via online booking. Sent follow up mail
to the hotel and informed James and Arwen.
== Plan ==
* Continue bootstrap testing and push patches to GCC
* Implement Libssp GCC back end hooks.
* Linaro connect travel prep, book tickets hotel and apply visa.
== Progress ==
* Did builds of GCC 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9-svn on x86_64, i686, arm7l to
load more recent data into testing database plus test source builds
for the release at the same time.
* Did builds of GDB 7.6 & 7.5 on x86_64, i686, arm7.
* Added wiki page on how to run DejaGnu in a chroot.
* Cbuildv2 work continuing, works well enough to do the above
builds plus bootstrapping infrastructure.
* Change how the index for the testing database gets calculated,
so it's now possible to delete bogus records without screwing
up existing data when importing.
== Plan ==
* Produce some new graphs with the data from the above builds and
test runs.
* Make GCC & GDB release tarballs.
* Update wiki pages on Cbuildv2, release process.
== Issues ==
* Figure out why make check for GDB fails for everything on
chromebook running 13.04.
