== Bug fighting == * Tracked bug 774175 (apt segfault on armel on oneiric) down to the cortex-a8 branch erratum bug that we found as part of the bug jam a few weeks ago (affecting the more obscure vtk package) - Richard's existing binutils fix should fix this.
== String routines == * Struggled to get 'perf' to get sane results from profiling spec; some of the samples are obviously being associated with the wrong process somewhere along the process (e.g. it's showing significant samples in the sh process but in a library that's used by the actual benchmark. * latrace on spec still running on ursa2 * Wrote a non-neon memcpy; as expected it's aligned performance is very similar to libc/kernel - it's a bit faster in some places but slower in some odd places (e.g. n*32+1 bytes is a lot slower for some reason). It's also really bad on mis-aligned cases, I tried to take advantage of the v7's ability to do misaligned loads - but they really are quite slow.
