Hi,
Here are my notes from today's sync-up call. Please reply with any
corrections ;-)
Status updates:
- Alvise has release [v7] of the atomics with ARMv8 support
- now working on the MTTCG variant of the tree
- suggestion to reach out to another maintainer (MIPS?) to
convert FE to LL/SC atomics
- suggested add a new test case to allay Paolo's race fears
- Fred's posted [v8] of his tree
- re-base on latest master (was painful)
- incorporating some of Alvise's suggestions for tlb_flush
- Alex
- Did some work on [ThreadSanitizer] to help with testing
- Looking at crashes where CPU env gets corrupted
- Getting a testbins project together for upstream
- suggested we add MTTCG testcases
General discussion:
- Talked about purpose of the Greensocs logger in Fred's series,
mentioned virt testchar device
- Discussed next steps, which architecture should be enabled
(x86-x86? MIPS?)
- The need for a prototype of the memory ordering solution is
now pretty current
- Alex to look at getting an RFC together for the list
- Had a brief discussion about keeping regular re-bases and
quick turnaround on comments
- The original funding has ended so a lot is best efforts vs
${DAYJOB}
- Alex re-iterated his availability as a warm body and
Linaro's support
