== Progress ==

* LLVM 3.9.0 Release for AArch64 [TCWG-696] [3/10]
  - Ran the tests on one of our APM boards
  - Fixed an issue with some tests that are only supposed to be run
for the x86 target but were accidentally running for other targets too
  - Wrote up some release notes for AArch64

* Enable MLx Expansion pass for non-Cortex-A9 targets [TCWG-674] [3/10]
  - Did a few runs of the test-suite on one of our chromebooks (Cortex-A15)
  - The pass is expanding > 2000 MLx instructions in the test-suite, so it
looks like we can use it for evaluation

* [AArch64] Keep merging consecutive stores in store sequences [TCWG-704] [2/10]
  - When merging stores, we always start looking from the end of the store
sequence, and if the last store cannot be merged we stop; we should instead
keep looking through the rest of the sequence to see if we can merge any of
the previous stores
  - Working on a fix

* Refactor SelectionDAGBuilder::visitInlineAsm [TCWG-643] [2/10]
  - Made it shorter by about 100 LOC; it could still use some cleanup, but I've
sent the patch upstream to get an initial round of feedback

== Plan ==

* LLVM 3.9.0 Release for AArch64 [TCWG-696]
  - Wait for the next release candidate

* [AArch64] Keep merging consecutive stores in store sequences [TCWG-704]

# Progress #

* TCWG-685, GDB 7.12 release.  [5/10]
  Release branch is created.  Finished the test and triage for aarch64
  native.
  Tests are good.  Two patches are committed.  Running regression tests
  for cross for arm and aarch64.
  Upgrade the native compiler to gcc mainline, and run aarch64 tests
  with the new compiler.

* OpenOCD for aarch64.  [3/10]
  Investigate OpenOCD support for aarch64.  There was an openocd patch
  for aarch64 posted in Feb 2015, but never merged.

* Misc, [2/10]

# Plan #

* TCWG-685.
* Finish OpenOCD investigation.
