Short week - 3 days. Took Sat, Sun off due to health issues, severe
ear infection -:(
* Modularization project
a) TCWG-637: Applied TLC to parser in include-remove tool

c) TCWG-628.
* TCWG-619:
- Started going through LTO documentation.
* Bugs
1178: Found a possible fix, prevents the ICE for the test-case.
== Next week ==
* TCWG-619
* Submit fix to 1178 upstream
* TCWG-628
== This week ==
* GCC Modularization project
- TCWG-621: Refactoring rtl.h almost completed.
- TCWG-639: Working on rewriting the tool in python.
- TCWG-637: Working on basing the tool on rtags instead of ctags.
- TCWG-629: Continue target-hook conversion.
* Backports:
- Submitted following backports for review:
r215612, r215722, r219656, r219657, r219659, r219661
== Issues ==

- Cannot log in to NX session on tcwg-env-05.
== Next Week ==
- Chromium LTO build (TCWG-619)
- Validate and commit backports.
== Progress ==
* compiler-pass to widen computation (TCWG-547) - (7/10)
- ran into -std=gnu90 issue in compiling spec2k/2006 with the trunk
using the new infrastructure
- ran benchmarking but the results are not much different
- tried with -save-temps but the intermediates are gone. Not sure if
infrastructure cleans it
- setting up spec2k in nx aarch64 chroot for easy comparison of
intermediate values (asm and tree dumps)
- also plan to try benchmarking with widening pass enabled only for
unsigned type where BIT_AND_EXPR (zero_extend) is optimized well as
compared to new middle-end ZEXT_EXPR (which is not handled well yet) to
see if the difference is there.
* Improve register allocation for AArch64 (TCWG-620) - (1/10)
- Looked at the relevant patches and code
* https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1291 (1/10)
* Misc (1/10)
== Plan ==
* TCWG-620 and TCWG-547
* https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1291
* TSAN support for Aarch64 (5/10)
TCWG-642
Discussed on making -pie for -fsanitize=thread as default in GCC.
Learnt that LLVM sanitizers now support both -pie and non -pie mode.
Discussed the same issue with sanitizer's group. They asked me to
do -pie for aarch64 as first version. Pushed GCC changes to
linaro git.
TCWG-654
Discussed with Renato, moved to LLVM tree and woking on that.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64946.
TCWG-634
Ran ASAN tests which 32 bit allocator code now as default on amd-01.
/home/venkataramanan.kumar/LLVM/TSAN_port/Source/projects/compiler-
rt/lib/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_allocator.h:841
((res)) < ((kNumPossibleRegions)) (4193146, 524288)
I got similar error in TSAN and it went off when I switched to 64
bit allocator.
* Bug 869 - Wrote a pattern in match.pd to remove type promotion in
ABS_EXPR . Richard Beiner suggested to add ABSU_EXPR to take care of
signed overflows (3/10)
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64946
* Emails, meetings. (2/10)
* Linaro 1-1 with christophe, maxim and Ryan.
* AMD meetings/event, 1-1 with AMD manager, status meeting.
* GCC mailing list.
== Plan ==
* TSAN/ASAN support look if 64 allocator is needed or not .
* LLVM build with local patches.
* Bug869.
* Misc and Meetings (AMD, LInaro)
