== This Week ==
* PR88837 (7/10)
- Addressed all upstream suggestions.
- Found a (hackish) way to test patch with qemu (multiple issues).
- Sorting thru "strange" testsuite fallout most of which seems
unrelated to my patch.
* PR88833 (2/10)
- Looking at fwprop pass
* Misc (1/10)
- Meetings
== Next Week ==
- Continue ongoing tasks.
(Short week, three days.)
Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ continuing with the conversion of the VFP decoder to 'decodetree'.
With some useful advice from RTH I have now got a big chunk of
it done, and it looks like this will provide:
- better places to put "UNDEF if CPU doesn't have double support" checks
- checks of "VFP enabled?" only after all UNDEF checks have happened
- cleanup of a lot of code that uses some TCG globals cpu_F0 and cpu_F1,
which is weird ancient style and overdue for a cleanup
- a VFP decoder which isn't a single thousand-line function with multiple
nested switch statements

3 day week.
[LLVM-122] BTI and PAC support in lld, llvm-readobj, llvm-objdump
- Now in upstream review. Most of the week spent writing and updating tests.
Some time reviewing some asm goto patches patches.
Planned absences:
Holiday Friday 31st May.
== Progress ==
* Out of office 22 & 24 May
* [GlobalISel] Refactor CallLowering [LLVM-568]
- In progress, likely going to take a while
- Found a minor bug in the lowering for AArch64 (I can get it to
crash on some edge case), not sure if it's worth fixing independently
since it gets fixed anyway with the refactoring that I have in
progress
- Trying to understand an AMDGPU failure
== Plan ==
* Out of office 29 May - 10 June
* More of the same
o LLVM
* 8.0.1-rc1 ARM and AArch64 Binaries uploaded.
* Buildbots: One fixe committed upstream.
* Machine outliner:
- Fixed liveness issue.
- Preparing pat6ch for re-submission
o Misc
* Various meetings and discussions.

== This Week ==
* PR88833 (4/10)
- Started investigating the issue, it seems one of the code-movement
RTL passes like cse2
do not remove identical register copies resulting in extra register move.
* PR88837 (5/10)
- Patch almost approved offline by Richard, suggested me to move
discussion upstream.
- Observed "strange" issue with return value vectors on qemu for
run-time tests for fixed-length vectors. Turned out due to mismatch
in vector-length at compile and run time -;)
- Trying to run SVE tests with qemu.
* Misc (1/10)
- Meetings
== Next Week ==
- Continue ongoing tasks
[LLVM-122] BTI and PAC support in LLD
Implementation now working, have written BTI tests, next step is
finishing off PAC tests.
[Misc]
Helped out debugging an asm-goto problem on ARM targets.
Investigated a GNU ld LMA overlap when VMA and LMA got out of sync.
Helped out with CMSIS use of ld scripts when using a fast-model,
needed to get LMA == VMA for program header covering BSS.
QEMU Tooling ([VIRT-252])
=========================
QEMU plugin support ([VIRT-280])
- synced up with Emilio, will take over branch and submit
- latest branch is [plugins/plugins-v3]
- will peel off simple clean-ups and tweaks next week
- then need to split up some more and better separate code
- exposed plugin_disas to for "howvec" instruction counter
- some [example] [output] while booting kernel
