reproduced latent bug on trunk, fix accepted, but I'm still worried by
it not setting all insn attributes correctly.

- reported a couple of failures/regressions
- FDPIC build broken on trunk

- infra fixes / troubleshooting / reviews

[ Linux on ARM mini-conference ]
2 days. Some interesting stuff in the future hardware directions talks.
Helped out a bit with ABI history in the toolchain breakout session. Some good
hallway discussion, especially re record-replay on aarch64.
I should make time this weekend to produce a more complete trip report.

[VIRT-327 # Richard's upstream QEMU work ]
Random patch review.
Updated some aa32 vfp cleanup patches; still need to
re-test and post.

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- sent pullreq with some of the pending rST doc conversion work
- finished the work on converting the json QAPI doc comments from
texinfo to rst, and sent out a patchset for this
- code review:
- Cornelia's patches rstifying some s390 docs
- rth's 'Reduce aa64_va_parameter overhead' patch
- a patchset fixing some minor memory leaks in timer devices
- rth's PAN/ATS1E1/UAO patchset
- sent out an arm pullreq
I seem to be currently keeping on top of the code-review queue
with about an afternoon a week spent on review, which is pleasing.
thanks

Progress:
* VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership]
- more work on rST doc conversion. I've started in on converting the
documentation that we auto-generate from doc comments in json files
(this covers QEMU's QMP protocol and a similar protocol for the
guest-agent).
I now have something that is basically the right shape and correctly
handles 'Command' and 'Object' (with 'Enum' and Alternate' and some
other corner cases still to do). Might be able to send a patchset out
next week with luck. This is I think the last major obstacle to the
rST conversion -- once it's done the rest is just simple-but-tedious
conversion of the remaining document files.
- code review:
+ aspeed 'misc fixes and extensions' patchset
+ "Stop wrongly programming GICR_PENDBASER.PTZ bit" bugfix patch
+ KVM 'adjust virtual time when VM starts/stops' patchset
+ last few unreviewed patches in RTH's VHE patchset respin

* BFD Linker:
- GNU-629: non-contiguous memory support: fixed bugs found when
running the testsuite with the new option activated. Adding warnings
to help understand potential placement changes.
* GCC:
* GCC-9: continued work for validation of -mpure-code on v6m: the
patch applies cleanly in the branch, but there are unexpected failures
compared to trunk. Debugging.

Clean up my Jira tickets so that they can be passed on or closed.
This is my last week as a Linaro assignee, will be going back to the
Arm as of next week. I've really enjoyed my time here, thank you for
having me.
