[Yao Qi]

* Monday off. [2/10]

# Progress #

*GDB 8.0 release, TCWG-1050. [2/10]
** Intel btrace python api patches are pushed in, and all intel
specific stuff are removed from the python apis before release,
Phew!
** GDBserver arm-linux software single step. More issues are found,
can't catch 8.0 release.
** 8.0 release candidate is created.

* SVE, TCWG-1040, [5/10]
** All my regcache class-fy patches are committed. Unblock some
Alan's patches.
** One patch review.
** Post preparatory patches for my value/register conversion unit
test patches.
** Think about how to change GDB target descriptions for SVE, and
write them down. Turns out these problems are not specific to
SVE, they are already there but SVE make them worse that we should
fix. Ongoing.

* Upstream review, [1/10]
** Review one kernel-awareness patch.
** Review OpenRISC GDB patches.

# Plan #

* Finish the doc about GDB target description changes for SVE, and
send it to Alan.
* Upstream my patches about unit test to value/register conversion
gdbarch hooks.
* Upstream my GDB disassembler patch, which unify the disassembler
selection in both gdb and objdump.
