2 day week:
== Activity ==
[TCWG-617] Range extension thunks
- rebased patch after coming back from holiday, took some time as
quite a bit had changed, patch still in upstream review.
- Have downstream patches to make inline thunks work with linker
scripts, will post for review next week.
== Plan ==
At linaro connect all next week
== Planned absences ==
Euro LLVM 27-28 March
~ Progress ~
* GDB 8.0 release, TCWG-1050, [5/10].
Release branch will be created on March 15th.
Fixed some instruction decoding in reverse debugging. Tested.
Added a unit test for arm process recording for some instructions.
To be posted upstream.
PR gdb/21165 is fixed.
* SVE GDB patches review, TCWG-1035, [3/10]
SVE patches review. One of Alan's patch is to remove some lines of
code written 19 years ago, which was to fix a bug at that moment.
A lot of archeology. Hopefully the author is still in RedHat, and
get more information on the fix. Alan's patch is correct.
* Upstream patches review. [2/10]
** Some python bindings on intel btrace. Make it more portable,
hopefully these python apis can be used for CoreSight in the
future.
~ Plan ~
* Linaro Connect.
* March 13th -- 15th, holiday.

== Progress ==
* [ARM GlobalISel] Fix atomic loads/stores after r294993 [TCWG-1041] [1/10]
- For the moment we just bail out if we have any atomic loads /
stores. This is better than silently replacing them with non-atomic
operations.
* [ARM GlobalISel] Add support for lowering calls [TCWG-1038] [6/10]
- Committed support for calls with args/returns in registers (ints,
pointers, floating point)
- Found and reported a bug in the AArch64 backend
- Working on lowering stack arguments: committed support for stores,
still working on adding support for GEPs and constants so we can
actually compute the addresses that we have to store to
* Misc [3/10]
- Meetings, mailing lists, code reviews
- Connect slides
- Buildbots (reverted patches with flaky tests, fixed mips-specific
test to run only when mips is built)
== Plan ==
* Out of office on Thursday and Friday
* [ARM GlobalISel] Add support for lowering calls [TCWG-1038]
== Progress ==
* Validation
- more work on use of containers, ssh-agent & jenkins problems
- added an experimental job to prepare the migration to
the new scripts
* misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....)
== Next ==
* Holidays next week
* Connect
Hi Guys,
Could you please let me know which release of toolchain support v8.2-A CPU? How to get it?
https://www.linaro.org/downloads/
Thanks
David

Oh dear...
Adding linaro-toolchain(a)lists.linaro.org to see what they have to say
(and linaro-uefi, because it's useful information for subscribers of that).
