Hello,

Attended two events in a row in September, so had a bit of a time crunch
and the weekly report fell through the cracks...

# TCWG CI

- Investigated and fixed a few false positives in the GDB precommit CI
  which were caused by random failures in
  gdb.threads/process-dies-while-detaching.exp. Posted upstream and
  later committed patch fixing the testcase to be more stable.

- After conversations during GNU Tools Cauldron and following Maxim's
  suggestion, changed Linaro's CI to use the read1 library while running
  the GDB testsuite to improve the stability of its results.

- After review from Tom Tromey, posted v2 and later committed a patch
  which adds '--with-additional-debug-dirs' configure option.

- Committed a couple of changes to our CI scripts which make sure that
  the kernel.yama.ptrace_scope and kernel.core_pattern sysctls have
  correct values for running the GDB testsuite.

# [GNU-767] Support changing SVE vector length in remote debugging

- Now that Luis pushed his SME and SME2 patches, merged current GDB main
  branch into my local branch. It builds but doesn't work yet.

# GDB Upstream

- Reviewed patch series "[PATCH v3 0/4] Dynamic properties of pointers".

- Investigated upstream bugzilla "18898 - Cannot specify non-default
  list of directories as argument of --with-auto-load-dir on Windows",
  but concluded it's an autoconf limitation that isn't easy to fix.

# Misc

- Prepared for Linaro's Employees Meeting.
- Attended GNU Tools Cauldron.
- Took a few days of vacation.
