== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- reported a few regressions
- added fortran to arm-none-eabi configs
- enabled gcc-testresults for most configurations, which now sends a
lot of emails
* GCC:
- PR94743 (IRQ handler and Neon registers): patch committed.
* benchmarking:
- cleanup of hal lib to run benchmarks on stm32, the board we have in
TCWG is different from the ones we used in ST, I'll have to update the
hal settings accordingly.
* misc:
- switch tcwg_gnu job to use our gcc-compare-results script, to be
able to ignore some tests with random results (especially under qemu)
== Next ==
* GCC/cortex-M testing improvements & fixes
* cortex-m benchmarking
[VIRT-344 # ARMv8.5-MemTag, Memory Tagging Extension ]
Lots of work here, finally merging MTE system support.
[VIRT-349 # QEMU SVE2 Support ]
Posted v2, all 100 patches.
[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]
A fair amount of patch review.
Merged the decodetree exclusive groups feature.

== This Week ==
* GCC
- GNU-659 (LTO regressing calculix): Running and analysing benchmarks
with different configs.
* LLVM
- LVM-611 (heuristic to lower calls to blx for armv6-m): Addressing
upstream suggestions.
- LLVM-612 (code-gen for imm8 args for Thumb1): Posted patch upstream,
waiting for feedback.
* Validation
- Prototype script for metric based comparison
== Next Week ==
- Continue ongoing tasks
Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ respun the QEMU side of the "fix 32-bit-guest readdir of
ext4 filesystems on a 64-bit host" work to match Linus Walleij's
most recent kernel patch.
+ code review (actually emptied my queue for the first time in forever):
- patchset adding some missing devices to MPS2 boards
- another round of RTH's MTE patchset (now fully reviewed and ready to go in)
- SMMUv3.2 range-invalidation support patchset from RedHat
- RTH's implementation of the kernel MTE ABI for QEMU linux-user
+ had a look at some of the lurking Coverity issues
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
+ fp16 support: started by working out risu patterns for all the
affected instructions so we have a means for testing the changes.
+ implemented a handful of fp16 insns; plan to back-burner this for
a little while as it's not going to be complete before we freeze
for QEMU 5.1, so work like reviewing the MTE patchset and other
for-5.1 efforts will take priority.
NB: on holiday next week

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
+ code review:
- a fix for an A9 global timer device bug
- imx_fec ethernet bugfixes/cleanups
- SD card emulation bugfixes/cleanups (including a CVE fix)
- sm501 graphics card minor fixes
- implementation of qemu_init_exec_dir() for OSX
- patchset adding some missing devices to MPS2 boards
- RTH's v7 MemTag emulation series (this was a big one, took most of
a couple of days to work through)
+ sent docs patch deprecating our tilegx port
+ discussion about what exactly target code has to do
for icount support; wrote some patches to remove some 'gen_io_end()'
calls that turn out to be no-longer-necessary
* VIRT-364 [QEMU support for ARMv8.1-M extensions]
+ completed the neon decodetree conversion and sent the last batch
of patches out for review; plan to start on fp16 support next
NB: have recorded my maintainership work under the old VIRT-65
for now; not yet clear when/which jira issue to use in the new UM-*
hierarchy.

+ Good progress with the neon decodetree conversion this week -- now feels
like it's nearly done. Wrote and sent out another couple of patchsets for
review. The only remaining insns to convert are the 2-reg-misc grouping.
Have made a start on that; hope to get the final part of the conversion
out for review next week.
thanks

(0.5 day off)
== Progress ==
* GCC upstream validation:
- scripts updates and cleanup for cortex-m33 with qemu-system-mode
- investigated a random error with a C++ testcase under qemu-aarch64
since I upgraded to qemu-5.0.
- reported a few regressions
- fixed cross-build of GCC after C++11 upgrade, looked at fixing
native builds (different problem), but someone had already posted the
same fix during the week-end
* GCC:
- PR94743 (IRQ handler and Neon registers): No feedback yet.
* misc:
- infra fixes / troubleshooting / reviews
- looking at cortex-m benchmarking harnesses. Updated docker images to
include openocd and checked I could connect to the board from a docker
container.
- helping test Dejagnu new master branch in preparation for next stable release
== Next ==
* training next week
