[Diana Picus]

== Progress ==

* Out of office Mon-Wed [6/10]

* [ARM] Use AddDefaultPred everywhere [TCWG-987]
- Committed upstream

* LLVM AArch64 4.0.0 [ TCWG-1008] [1/10]
- Ran the tests for rc1, everything went smoothly

* [AArch64] Investigate PR30225 [TCWG-1021] [1/10]
- Someone noticed that llvm-mc is using a different code/data
alignment factor for the call frame information than gas, trying to
figure out if that would actually confuse a debugger

* Misc [2/10]
- Mailing lists, code reviews, meetings etc

[TCWG-614] Range extension thunks

Started process of upstreaming the conversion of Thunks to SyntheticSections.
- Patch 1 of 3 committed, move Thunk Creation later in the link step.
- Patch 2 of 3 add support for local symbol creation in upstream review
- Patch 3 of 3 waiting for patch 2

Made a patch to output mapping symbols in PLT to test local symbol
creation. Not recommending this for inclusion in lld yet, but have
included as a way of testing 2.

Responded to comment on implementation and overall Thunks proposal.

Plans for next week:
Yet more range extension work, hope to get patches 2 and 3 above committed.
