== Issues ==

* None

== Progress ==
* Investigate big endian toolchain build in Linaro crosstool-ng.
  - Fix an aarch64 triple name issue.
  - Add Linaro armeb-linux-gnueabihf, aarch64_be-linux-gnu and
aarch64_be-none-elf configs for big endian builds.
  - Please find the reference builds at:
http://cbuild.validation.linaro.org/build/crosstool-ng-linaro-1.13.1+bzr2580/

* Design a test case for lp1189445 and revise the patch for review.
* Revise the shrink-wrap related fix for pr57637 and send out for review.
* Investigate lp:1194501 and lP:1194123
  - lp:1194501 is confirmed a "tail call" issue, and also in trunk pr57731.
  - lP:1194123 seams shrink-wrap related, since the case pass with
option -fno-shrink-wrap.

== Plan ==

* Continue on conditional compare.

Best Regards!

 * spec2k comparison between ARM and x86
- Specfp on x86 has some failures in trunk
- Trying 4.8 now
- Analysed some of the benchmarks and documenting them
- continuing with the rest.

2013-06-30 Thread Venkataramanan Kumar
Most of Last week spent on internal AMD work.

== Progress ==
* AArch64 LTO and PGO support.
LTO run for coremark and ran coremark on V8 model with and without the patch.
Ran perf on the model against the both the coremark binaries.
For non LTO, retired instructions seems to be less than the LTO one.
And PGO run for coremark did not emit any gcda file. Need to drill down further.

* AAarch64 testing
GCC runs still on going.  Experimenting on spawning subtarget tests to
more than one V8 model.

== Plan ==
* Complete gcc testsuite with runs with trunk and trunk+gprof GCC patches.
* Continue LTO and PGO runs for AArch64

==issues==
* libssp support for AArch64
This work is currently in hold. Needed frame layout changes before
restarting.

[ACTIVITY] 24 - 28 June 2013

2013-06-30 Thread Omair Javaid
== Progress ==

* Re-wrote gdb.dwarf2/dw2-error.exp and gdb.dwarf2/clztest.exp for arm.

* Investigated catch syscall patch in gdb patches to narrow down changes
required for arm.

* Continued with gathering documentation for future visas.

== Plan ==

* Test and fix failures due to optimization code in gdb.dwarf2/clztest.exp
for arm.

* Figure out a way to generate arm assembly for dwarf2/fission* gdb tests
using gcc.

* Further investigation arm requirements by going through catch syscall
patch for gdb on x86.

* Work with James to start UK and US visas for future visits.
