-- Progress --
TCWG-829 IFunc support
I have a downstream implementation of ifunc using synthetic sections
that handles x86_64, ARM and AArch64. I think it may be a bit too
complex to upstream in its current form but I think it is illustrative
enough to post upstream for comment.

TCWG-828 Static TLS support
Implemented using new GOT structure and successfully upstreamed.

Took up an opportunity to get involved with progressing some AArch64
documentation back at ARM.

-- Plans --
Will post current state of TCWG-829 (ifunc) for feedback on whether
the design is right.
- Write more tests for TCWG-829.
- Work on TCWG-911 eglibc insists on .ARM.attributes section for
dlopen to work and TCWG-919 Thunks to undefined symbols for shared
libraries that call back to the application.
- Spend some time reviewing and updating AArch64 documents back at ARM.

== This Week ==

* TCWG-971 (4/10)
- Prototype patch can handle simple cases

* GCC bugs (5/10)
a) PR78529 - Cannot reproduce after several tries :(
b) PR78599 - Submitted patch upstream to bail out of bits prop if
param type is not integral or pointer   type, but a better fix
would be to obtain type from jump_function. I can use that approach
once
Kugan's patch to add param_type to jump_function gets committed.
c) TCWG-963 - Patch iteration based on upstream feedback.
d) PR78629 - Committed fix r243125 to trunk.

* Misc (1/10)
- GCC ubsan builds
- Meetings

== Next Week ==
- TCWG-971
- GCC bugs
- Single vs Balanced partition benchmarking
