== This week ==
* More ARM testing of binutils support for STT_GNU_IFUNC.
* Implemented the GLIBC support for STT_GNU_IFUNC. Simple ARM testcases
seem to run correctly.
* Ran the GLIBC testsuite -- which includes some ifunc coverage --
but haven't analysed the results yet.
* Started looking at Thumb for STT_GNU_IFUNC. The problem is that
BFD internally represents Thumb symbols with an even value and
a special st_type (STT_ARM_TFUNC); this is also the old, pre-EABI
external representation. We need something different for STT_GNU_IFUNC.
* Tried making BFD represent Thumb symbols as odd-value functions
internally. I got it to "work", but I wasn't really happy with
the results.
* Looked at alternatives, and in the end decided that it would be
better to have extra internal-only information in Elf_Internal_Sym.
This "works" too, and seems cleaner to me. Sent an RFC upstream:
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-11/msg00475.html
* Started writing some Thumb tests for STT_GNU_IFUNC.
* Investigated #618684. Turned out to be something that Bernd
had already fixed upstream. Tested a backport.
== Next week ==
* More IFUNC tests (ARM and Thumb, EGLIBC and binutils).
