== Progress ==
* Testing costs changes for Neon intrinsics.
* Fixed the regression I added to the Linaro 4.6 tree - committed
there. Looked at a few vagaries around testresults.
* Started looking at auto-inc-dec scheduler changes.
* 1/2 a day lost to visa application process
* Usual 1:1s .
* Upstream patch review.
== Plans ==
* Work on auto-inc-dec scheduler changes.
* Ping current neon intrinsics patches and get them in.
* Release week dry-run to be done next week - and finish creating the
release tarballs by 6th of July
* Upstream patch review.
* Collect passport on Tuesday / Wed afternoon.
== Absences ==
* 8th - 12th July - GNU Tools Cauldron.
* 17th Sept - 5th Oct - Vacation planned, yet to be approved.
We've had a few testsuite failures recently which were due to the auto
builder itself. I've started a log at:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/CBuild/FailureLog
so we can track the incident rate and see if there's a pattern.
Zhenqiang, if you see an unexpected failure could you respawn the
build and notify me?

Hi all,
Right now, it's impossible to merge from lp:gcc/4.7 to
lp:gcc-linaro/4.7. This is due to a BZR bug of some kind, so hopefully
we won't have to work around it for too much longer.
According to the nice folks at #bzr, here's how to do the same merge
manually:
bzr branch lp:gcc-linaro/4.7
cd gcc-linaro
bzr log | less
# find the last merge revision (it should be clear from the message)
# grab the *SVN* revision number
bzr log --show-ids lp:gcc/4.7 | less
# search for the *SVN* revision number
# (it should appear on the end of a "revision-id" line, not "parent")
# grab the corresponding *BZR* revision number ("revno")
bzr diff -r <bzr-revno> lp:gcc/4.7 > ../patch
patch -p0 -i ../patch
# resolve conflicts, rejected hunks, etc.
bzr add --file-ids-from lp:gcc/4.7
# if it's doing the right thing you'll get messages like:
# "adding <file> w/ file id from <file>"
# if it just says "adding file" then you got something wrong
# edit Changelog.linaro, as usual
bzr ci
bzr push lp:~.........gcc-linaro/merge-from....
After all that, a future "bzr merge" should just work (once the bug has
been fixed).
Anyway, I doubt there's anybody else needs to know this: I've just
posted it in case I get hit by a bus before next month.

== GCC ==
* GCC PR 53636 fix caused regression on powerpc64 and sparc64;
committed fix upstream and to Linaro GCC 4.7.
* Backported GCC PR 53636 fix --including regression fix--
to Linaro GCC 4.6.
* Reworked Andrew's neon-shifts branch to reliably use NEON
for "left shift by register"; fix typo in "left shift by 1";
overall simplification of implementation. Tests restarted.
== GDB ==
* Investigated remaining GDB/Android work; reviewed card.
Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best Regards

The blueprints clean-up-kvm-patches and track-kvm-abi-changes include
dependencies on kernel side work which makes it hard to set a date;
however I'm hoping to get them either done or mostly done within the
next two months.
== cp15-rework ==
* patches were committed to master, blueprint complete
== a15-lpae-support ==
* worked on a set of patches to lay groundwork for this: mostly
this is extending the size of QEMU's 'target physical address'
type to 64 bits for ARM (potentially a small perf hit for the
32 bit only ARM cores; benchmarking still to be done)
* wrote patches to implement all the various pieces of LPAE,
confirmed that Linux with LPAE enabled boots, sent patches to list
* started looking into whether there are any bits of LAVA that make
sense to use for QEMU benchmarking
== other ==
* fixed a missing Makefile line that meant qemu-linaro wouldn't build
on ARM targets with KVM enabled
* reviewed a pile of outstanding patches (including SDHCI, i.MX31)
and am now caught up with the post-holiday backlog

Hello,
I tried codesourcy
arm-2012.03-57-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2, and get
below err infos.
Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `sdiv R2,R0,R1'
Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `udiv R2,R0,R1'
Does it mean this toolchain version don't support both instructions? and
which toolchain can support them?
Thanks a lot!
Xiao
== GCC ==
* GCC PR 53636 fix caused regression on powerpc64 and sparc64;
investigated, determined root cause, and implemented fix.
== GDB ==
* Took over remaining GDB/Android work from Thiago.

* Cross compiling ARM applications from your laptop
* Remote debugging
* Build the Linux kernel for your board
What's included:
* Linaro GCC 4.7 2012.06
* Linaro GDB 7.4 2012.06
* A statically linked gdbserver
* A system root
* Manuals under share/doc/
The system root contains the basic header files and libraries to link
your programs against.
Interesting changes include:
* Refine the system root
The Linux version is supported on Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 12.04, Debian
6.0.2, Fedora 16, openSUSE 12.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation

compatible distribution. Please see the README about running on
x86_64 hosts.
The Windows version is supported on Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Vista
Business SP2, and Windows 7 Pro SP1.
The binaries and build scripts are available from:
https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/trunk/2012.06

* email catchup following holiday
* rebased various trees, sent out pullreqs for outstanding ARM
QEMU patches
Michael H has set up a web page which tracks progress on KVM related
blueprints here:
http://apus.seabright.co.nz/helpers/backlog?group_by=topic&colour_by=state&…
This includes QEMU blueprints related to KVM.
