weekly report Oct 31 - Nov 3

[Anton Kozlov]

ARM32:
  * 8819: first step of patching rework is done, approach taken should be fastest according microbenchmarking it. Working on loading from constant pool instead of in-instruction-stream-constants. Microbenches seems aren't reliable here, adding minor work to registers and/or ALU while loading significantly changes results. Anyway, method under implementation should produce better code. Core implementation is ready, need to clarify strange situation with relocation on patched code and select between approaches.
 * minor activity on jdk aarch32-port project mail-list

PPC32:
  * updated to u112
  * got instructions and scripts for licenses/copyright. Need to review commits for "significant contribution"
