=== Progress ===
* Caught up on email backlog. * Reworked the ARM backend specific bits of the VFP addressing modes patch and submitted again for some benchmarking and testing. Finished the PRE_MODIFY and POST_MODIFY bits of that as well. * Wrote up a small blueprint on the shrink-wrapping work. * Wrote up my Linaro performance review and sent it for review. * Looked at lower-subreg work that Kenneth Zadeck posted very quickly to see if it addressed some of the issues around and old intrinsics patch that Richard Sandiford submitted last year. It looks promising and might even have some impact on our 64 bit neon work . It fixes the 2 cases where things didn't look good. ( Upstream bug reports PR48941 and PR51980) but it falls over while building glibc. Sent a bug report to Kenneth about this. * The perf packages on OMAP4 in our latest releases from 12.03 are just broken, they don't work. Reported the issue to Paul Larson on IRC to check what's going on. perf top doesn't work reliably on the kernels and there appears to be some issues with interrupt support for some of these . I specifically ran into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/956693 . * Answered a few questions from Uli about my prototypes for the vld1 replacing vldm instructions and a vget_lane patch.
== Plans ==
* Work through some of the blueprints before the call next week. * Set up perf on my panda. It works on my AC100 - so the inclination was to also have something that worked on my panda but clearly it doesn't. * Finish off the VFP addressing modes patch and get it in. * Look at Partial Partial PRE next or attempt the next project.
Absences.
* Apr 12-13 : Euro-LLVM London. * 1 week holiday sometime before that - to be booked * Linaro Connect Q2.12 - May 28 - June 1 - travel booked - hotel to be booked.
