Hi all,
I've asked ITS to install a git post-commit hook to send an email
after commits in the toolchain git repos.
It turns out that they prefer to send such email to mailing-lists, to
avoid having to maintain the list of recipients themselves, which of
course really makes sense.
So far, we already have a cbuild2 mailing-list for commits, which Rob
asked to now point to abe instead of cbuild2 repo.
I was thinking about asking a single new mailing-list (eg
tcwg-commits) and send commit emails to that list for all ours repos,
instead of having a list per repo to which interested team members
would have to subscribe.
We currently have the following git repos:
abe
backflip
backport-tools
binutils-gdb
binutils
cbuild2
cortex-malloc
cortex-strings
cross-build-tools
dejagnu
dmucs
eglibc
fakebench
gcc-new
gcc
gdb
glibc
lavabench
newlib
release-notes
spec2xxx-utils
tcwg-sysadmin
Any objection to having such a list?
(I do not plan to force subscription of any of you :-)
Christophe.

* Hopefully finish off the lab move
== Progress ==
* GCC trunk/4.9 monitoring (2/10)
- still tracking cause of random "interrupted system call" errors
- checked possible regressions
* AArch64 sanitizers (1/10)
- managed to build on board, didn't try to run the tests yet
* Neon intrinsics tests (2/10)
- fixed a couple of bugs in the already upstreamed tests
- continued conversion to GCC testsuite
- support to external user (LLVM based compiler)
* 4.9-2014.12 release (1/10)
- backports+branch reviews
* Misc (4/10)
- meetings, conf-calls, emails....
== Next ==
* GCC trunk/4.9 monitoring

Holidays: Dec 22nd - Jan 2nd
Apology for sending this out late.
== Progress ==
Debugging ARM gdb watchpoint failures [4/10] [TCWG-567]
-- Prepared a testsuite patch for unsupported tests on ARM
-- Investigation of other failures due to watchpoints installation
rejected through ptrace interface.
QEMU kernel debugging setup [4/10] [TCWG-568]
-- Setup arm Linux kernel debugging to debug watchpoints
Studying arm debug unit architecture versions for possible upgrade to
watchpoint/hwbreak implementation. [1/5] [TCWG-569]
Miscellaneous [1/10]
-- Meetings, Emails etc
-- Follow up on Hong Kong Visa
== Plan ==
Figure out unexplained arm gdb watchpoint rejection from ptrace interface.
More work to figure out a way to debug arm Linux kernel using QEMU
Some further study on arm debug unit architecture versions.
== Progress ==
Holiday [1/10]
Investigated bug #928 [4/10]
. turns out to be invalid implementation of memset in old linux kernels
. raises a question - do we want to provide support for users of old
Linux kernels on new compilers? We could spend a long time rehashing
work the kernel community has already done.
bugs #403/418 [3/10]
. working on fixing error reporting for Aarch64 vldN_lane/vstN_lane
. trickier than expected, but have found a plan to implement this week
Misc [2/10]
== Plan ==
submit patch for #403/418 vldN_lane and work on more intrinsics
== Issues ==
* Validation unusable all week, seems to be operational now.
== Progress ==
* GCC 4.9 2014.12 (5/10)
- Struggle with backports validation,
- everything is in the pipe now ... wait and see
* Misc: (5/10)
- Scripted the GCC revisions management, now able
to track ARM related trunk contribution and fill the backport
spreadsheet, and will be able to generate the release notes.
- Various meetings.
== Plan ==
* Backports
* Branch merge
* Libunwind (AArch64_be review)
Back from Vacation 24, 26, 27 and 28 November. (8/10)
= Progress ==
* TSAN support for Aarch64 (1/10)
* Emails, linaro and AMD status meetings. (1/10)
1-1 with maxim
== Plan ==
* TSAN support for Aarch64.
* Fix Linaro Bug 863
* catchup emails and other discussions
