Tried a suggested hack to use cpufreq-set -g performance, which allowed a fresh install of saucy to work.

Currently baseboard support is in a DejaGnu branch, http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/dejagnu.git/?h=linaro. I'm adding the global site.exp file to Cbuildv2, so 'make check' executes tests via ssh on remote targets. * Uploaded test results of ARM native builds to cbuild.validation.linaro.org for tcwg-web. (look for version gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.10.24) * Added support to DejaGnu to use a custom port for ssh and scp. * Survived learning to use Concur for expense reports. == Plan == * Attend Connect, do presentation, go to others. * Try to work around problem with importing test results. (need to work with LAVA team for this one, will do at Connect) * Copy tarballs to snapshots.linaro.org.

If not, please create one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+filebug FYI, I'm using Linaro GCC 4.8-2013.09 (pre-built) and latest linaro-linaro (based on 3.12-rc5 with Victor's topic branch).

Very short week was on leave 14th and 16th October (India Holidays). == Progress == * libssp glibc Glibc tests are Segmenting at dl_close_worker, when I set pointer guard. Debuging shows segfaults while expanding THREAD_GSCOPE_WAIT. My assumption is thread pointer points to TCB and after allocating 16 Bytes before that, we can set pointer gaurd at tp -16. But not sure, why it affects the pthread structure header which holds gscope_flag. Also looked at TLS_MULTIPLE_THREADS_IN_TCB, enabling it lead to __libc_multiple_threads undefined errors. == Plan == * Continue libssp support. * PGO for aarch64
