* None.
== Progress ==
* Enable libomp for aarch64*-linux-gnu builds in Linaro crosstool-ng.
* Backporting r200103 and r205509 to Linaro 4.8.
* Try to enable lra and test Spec2k with -fno-move-loop-invariants and
-fira-loop-pressure. But still no overall performance improvement.
(2/10)
* Try conditional compare related changes (CARD 313: 3/10)
- Set LOGICAL_NON_SHORT_CIRCUIT to false in fold-const.c.
- Do ifcombine twice.
- Logs show lots of new FAILs in vrp related cases and no
performance improvement in Spec2k INT.
* Identified the root causes of "uninit warning testsuite failures"
(CARD 304: 3/10)
- Some values are from PHI, which is not handled when checking subset.
- Function is_included_in is conservative. Here is its comments:
/* ... It returns false if ONE_PRED's domain is
not a subset of any of the sub-domains of PREDS (
corresponding to each individual chains in it), even
though it may be still be a subset of whole domain
of PREDS which is the union (ORed) of all its subdomains.
In other words, the result is conservative. */
== Plans ==
* 2013.12 toolchain binaries release.
* Continue on CARD 313 and 304.
== Progress == (4/10)
* TCWG-372 fix Cbuildv2 parsing to handle the new binutils-gdb repository (4/10)

commit e6e39f5d1f7963332b3d7dd2e4400de91847219c
Author: Ryan S. Arnold <ryan.arnold(a)linaro.org>
Date: Tue Dec 10 16:08:17 2013 -0600
Correct get_toolname to work with unified repo: binutils-gdb.git
Secondary fixes required:
- Set config/binutils.conf and config/gdb.conf to use unified repo
binutils-gdb.git.
- Re-enable binutils-gdb.git in config/sources.conf.
- get_toolname now calls get_git_tool and determines the actual toolname
for binutils and gdb from the branch name if the repository is unified.
- Made all other usages of get_git_tool use get_toolname instead.
- checkout() now uses ${repo} as returned from get_git_repo as the git
repository instead of ${tool}.git. This allows a unified repository to
only be checked out once.
- The git parser now determines whether an http:// in a url means a git
service or an svn service.
- The git parser now returns branch names for launchpad urls with branches
in the url.
- The git parser now returns the tool name properly for an svn service.
- The git parser testsuite now has testcases for all new additions.
Also
- Added --snapshots functionality to allow specifying an existing snapshots
directory.
- Add testcases to test.sh to test --snapshots functionality.
- Changes test.sh --snapshots directive to --md5sums to avoid confusion
with cbuild2.sh --snapshots.
* TCWG-323 Interface hardening (5/10)

test.sh: Fixed to work with a temporary host.conf file.
Require change due to commit 3b5c576630a8ac08cd3b9ab9eab781308549a858
which requires a host.conf file for finding the cbuild topdir.

* Misc (1/10)
- Now using gerrit with git review for handling cbuildv2 development.
- Reviewed V Chong's proposed outline for toolchain documentation and
made suggestions and edits.
== Plan ==
* Move onto working primarily on glibc Jira cards.
== Issues ==
* Lab migration took cbuild.validation.linaro.org down for several
unplanned days and therefore toolchain sources were unavailable during
that time. I made do by adding some features into cbuildv2 to use
alternative snapshots directories.
== This week ==
- Completed backport of 202259, 202407, 202020, 201261 and 201263

== Next week ==
- Begin work on other assigned backports
== Future ==
Document missing features of cbuild for backports
== Progress ==
* Pragma Vectorize
- Comparing pragma OMP to mimic for vectorize
- Implementing the lexer/parser
- http://llvm.org/PR18086
* Android LLVM
- Wasting time for the last time with Odroid XU and Android
- Will focus on Nexus 4, 5 and 7
* Integrated AS

== Progress ==
- cross-validation: (1/10). Follow-up, minor maintenance and
discussions on a few regressions. Now able to share top-level
reports.
- backports (1/10):
* multilib_defaults for 4.7
* committed all approved backport
* helped Michael solve some conflicts
- disable peeling: (3/10)
* confirmed it is now done by default on trunk, as part
-fvect-cost-model=XXX.
* Looked at benchmarks, comparing
-fvect-cost-model=cheap (default) and
-fvect-cost-model=unlimited.
- benchmarks on trunk (1/10): observed some variations from one month to
another on a few cases (checked June-November). This confirms
the need to run benchmarks regularly on trunk, in addition to
release branches.
- cbuild2 (3/10): continued working on source release. Submitted a few
small patches for review+integration.
- misc (1/10): various conf-calls and meetings.
== Next ==
- Make 2013.12 releases
- cbuild2: continue testing, try to make 4.7 source release
- libsanitizer on AArch64: resume work
== Issues ==
* Tcpanda03 seems unusable.
== Progress ==
* LRA on AArch32:
o TCWG-345 : Analyse performance of LRA for ARM. (5/10)
- Installed Saucy on Chromebook, lot of time wasted due to defective SD card
- Frequency governor now set to performance.
- Benchmark setting ongoing
- Tcpand03 SSH access re-enabled, board setting seems ok, but respawned
benchmarks are stuck and the board is no more reachable
o TCWG-343 : Make LRA the default for the ARM backend (2/10)
- Reduce iWMMXT testcase, analysis ongoing.
- Trunk testsuite with LRA shows a couple new faillures.
* Reviewed some merge requests. (1/10)
* Loop specialization patch review started. (1/10)
* Various meetings. (1/10)
== Next ==
* Continue LRA, merge and patch reviews.
== Progress ==
* Updated, tested and submitted new patches for a couple of gdb
testsuite failure on arm. [TCWG-269] [TCWG-34] [1/10]
* Performed GDB git repository testing suite results comparison:
[TCWG-34] [2/10]
Compared results and prepared googldocsheets for the following:
arm-native Vs arm-remote
arm-native Vs x86-native
arm-remote Vs x86-remote
* Investigated difference/failures in arm-native vs arm-remote
comparison sheet. [TCWG-34] [5/10]
Re-ran timeout failures with different values of timeouts.
Figured out causes of failures.
Figured out why some tests exit without emitting any logical result.
* In response to comments upstream tried to figure out alternate fix for
dwarf2 fortran parameter test. [TCWG-267] [TCWG-34] [1/10]
* Miscellaneous activities [1/10]
== Plan ==
* Analyze new failures in arm-native Vs x86-native and arm-remote Vs
x86-remote test results.
* Fix test suite failures and submit patches if any.
* Spend some time pining/updating/re-submit previous patches.
