== Progress == * Disable-peeling: - benchmarking locally on snowball - failed to build reference branch on cbuild, for an unknown reason * Turnoff 64bits ops in Neon: - committed upstream in 4.9 (now stage 1) - benches of backport into Linaro-4.7 OK: no significant diff, except +12.6% on spec2k's crafty) - Filed merge request. * Vectorizer cost model: - benches of backport inot Linaro-4.7 OK (no significant diff, as expected). - Filed merge request. * Revert-coalesce: - benches ran in cbuild, but no *-diff.txt file generated. * Libsanitizer: - testsuite results OK. All unsupported tests are normal. * Neon intrinsics codegen: - got internal feedback * GDB reverse debug: - filed 2 bug reports after internal requests. * Misc: - filed several bug reports against cbuild to track the problems I observed. == Next == * Disable-peeling: - analyze bench results - understand/'fix what's wrong with cbuild * Turnoff 64bits ops in Neon: - backport to Linaro-4.8 * Revert-coalesce: - manually compute bench differences if unable to have cbuild do it. * Libsanitizer: - propose patch upstream. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

== Progress == Knocked out more GDB remote configuration failures that were failing due to timeouts. Had 1:1 with Matt for direction on GDB improvement plan. Looked around for Ireland visa process and filled out visa application. == Plan == Complete review of remote timeout based test case failures. Start work on the GDB improvement blueprint in JIRA from this week. Get remaining documentation for Ireland visa and complete application. ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain

== Progress == - Looking at TLS relocs and coming up with test cases for garbage collecting them. - Patch for missedout testcases in gc section is up streamed. Thanks to Marcus. == Plan == - Complete gc section test cases for TLS relocs. - Understand and evaluate gprof support work for Aarch64 Misc - Leave on Wednesday and Thursday (27th and 28th) ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
[ACTIVITY] 18-22 March 2013
== Progress == - Worked on VRP based zero/sign extension elimination at tree level - Some regression test cases are failing; investigating them == Plan == - Analyse the reason for test case failure and fix them - Extend the code to handle all the possible cases (currently implemented for subset to get the framework working) ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
