[Diana Picus]

== Progress ==

* [AArch64] Support for label arithmetic in the assembler [TCWG-710]
- 2 patches in upstream review

* Handle special cases in AArch64InstrInfo::GetInstSizeInBytes [TCWG-757]
- Committed a patch for stackmap / patchpoint sizes
- Since this was a bit cumbersome to test otherwise, I had to add
unit tests for it, which took a bit of CMake plumbing because these
are the first target-specific unit tests in LLVM

* Add worktree module to tcwg-release-tools [TCWG-783]
- Started working on it

* Misc
- Helped test/setup the new TK1 buildbots


== Plan ==

* Add worktree module to tcwg-release-tools [TCWG-783]
* Help get the TK1 buildbots into a stable state
* Ping upstream patches

[Christophe Lyon]

== Progress ==
* Validation
- patch reviews (Jenkins jobs, abe)

* GCC
- reported a few regressions on trunk
- looked at making reporting scripts more robust
at handling DejaGnu errors that could otherwise
be un-noticed

* Binutils
- backported a fix from trunk to linaro-2.27 branch, to close bug
2518 (linker SEGV)
- investigating https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20608
"Relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 for relocation to PLT entry"

* misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....)
- Connect preparation

== Next ==

- release scripts/abe
- backports/reviews
- Binutils bug 20608
