== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- reported a few regressions / minor testcase fix
* benchmarking:
- Created the Jenkins job to run coremark on stm32 (added/updated
scripts for that)
* misc:
- infra patches/reviews
== Next ==
* GCC/cortex-M testing improvements & fixes
* cortex-m benchmarking
I got an email and an irc ping for
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/lldb-aarch64-ubuntu/builds/6924
My change has no relation to the test failure.
Flaky bots aren't allowed to send email or ping, so either make it
non-flaky or make it not send stuff.
Thanks,
Nico
[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]
Patch review -- lots of riscv vector stuff.
Fix for PAUTH error indication.
Diagnosed an MTE KASAN problem
-- my theory is a guest os thread error.
Investigation into PAUTH slowdown.

Realised I missed last week so bumper update.

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ rc3 sent out. Optimistically hoping for release next week.
+ rebased the patchset converting QAPI doc-comments to rST
+ Fixed a bug in syndrome register values for copro insns trapped
from AArch32 to AArch64
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
+ Finished and sent out the patchset that cleans up the coproc
insn decode and corrects the NOCP handling
+ With assistance from RTH, figured out how to use gvec helpers
to implement fp16 for various Neon insns. Added fp16 support to
20 or so insns; still have 15 or so to go.
thanks

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ More release herding...
+ Sent fixes for some bugs:
- assertion in the imx_epit timer device when guest soft-reset it
- netduino2/netduinoplus2 forgot to configure system clock scale so
using SysTick in "run at CPU frequency" mode would hang
- most M-profile boards failed to make AIRCR.SYSRESETREQ actually
reset the system
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
+ More progress with fp16: all the VFP insns now handled, including
the new-for-fp16 ones. Still to do: all of Neon...
+ Spent some time working through the details of NOCP vs UNDEF
in the M-profile coprocessor space for the various revisions
of the architecture. v8.1M adjusts things a bit in this area
and I want to clean up this bit of QEMU's current code and
get the v8.1M bits right.
Fact: next Monday (3rd August) will be the 10th anniversary
of my secondment into Linaro!

[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]
Misc patch review.
- Largest bit is half of riscv 0.9 vector patch set.
Fix arm E2 bug in ptw_translate.
Fix arm E3 buts in direct kernel startup.
Fix linux-user chroot failure.

[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]
Misc patch review.
[GCC]
I looked into Adhemerval's libgomp-scalability patch set. The code looks good,
and I can't see anything wrong.
The cancel-parallel-2 test that's reported to regress, does, sometimes. It
never fails for me on qemu-test (aarch64, tx1). It *only* fails under the
dejagnu test harness on x86_64 and ppc64le. When run by hand it succeeds,
always. I cannot explain that at all. I've run the testsuite with
OMP_DEBUG_ENV=verbose and see that the dejagnu environment is as expected.
Anyway, I can't make forward progress because I can't reproduce the problem
under controlled conditions.
r~
