# Progress #

* Estimate the effort of GDB kernel-awareness work. Give comments
on formal slides. [1/10]
* GDB inserts breakpoints on the wrong place if these files'
basename is the same. TCWG-491. At least, post a patch to avoid
GDB crash. Reproduced with a simpler case, open PR 19474. [3/10]
* Update document about input interrupt. [1/10]
Done. Patch is committed.
* TCWG-503, fix GDB test case by @progbits -> %progbits. Patch is
posted. [1/10]
* Clean up arm software single step code. [3/10]
In progress. Some patches are committed, but some are still in my
queue. The recent arm software single step change causes a
regression on stepping out of signal handler.
* Think about the GDB slides for Linaro Connect [1/10]

# Plan #

* Look into the arm software single step regression.
* Post the rest of patches for arm software single step clean up.
