a stage1 patch.

* ASAN/TSAN run on 42 bit VA Aarch64 (TCWG-634) (6/10)
Sent a patch that enables ASAN tests with 64 bit allocator on
amd-01 (AMD Seattle). All ASAN test passes in LLVM.
But on juno platform 39 bit VA does not have enough memory to map
hence we need to stay on 32 bit allocator.
Discussed with ASAN community and it is been decided to use 32 bit
allocator as default. They are not ok with having a mechanism to
detect VA and swutch allocators based on that.
Started looking at failures on amd-01 (AMD steatle) with 32 bit alloctor.
None of the ASAN tests ran when I switched to 32 bit allocator on amd-01.
Reason there is a spin mutex lock which is waiting for the memory
allocation to complete, but assertion failure makes it to wait
infinitely.
After fixing map range the assertion failure is gone but I keep
getting some failures with 32 bit allocator "on".
Bug869: Continued to look at ABS_EXPR cases (2/10).

== This Week ==
* TCWG-619:
- LTO and non-LTO builds of v8 and chromium on x86, arm, and aarch64 native and
x86->arm, x86->aarch64 cross.
- LTO build for v8 on arm native and with x86->arm cross works with linaro-4.8,
but not with linaro-4.9. Also appears to fail for trunk.
- Issues in building chromium cross x86->arm - undefined reference to
clock_gettime.
* PR 49551
- Patch approved by Charles.
== Next Week ==
- v8 LTO build with different lto options.
- Investigate LTO build failure for v8 on arm.
- LTO and non-LTO builds for chromium on x86, arm and aarch64.
- Submit patch to PR49551 for upstream review after testing on x86, arm.

qemu-system experiment [4/10]
Tried to set up qemu-system for reliable simulated validation of tests
which don't work under qemu-user. Mostly works, but there is arcane
interaction between DejaGNU, gcc testsuite and board files which make
it a bit flakey. Interesting experiment, but I've dropped it for now
as there still niggles to iron out.

ASAN/TSAN run on 42 bit VA Aarch64 with 64 bit allocators (TCWG-634) (6/10)
* Juno does not have space for kernel allocator map demanded by
ASAN, So we need to remain on 32 bit allocators only.
* amd-01 went offline. So moved to internal machine in AMD.
Debugging LLVM test failures in GDB showed that ASLR should be
turned off and also the shadow offset is set at 1<<36 and is not
changing when I fix it in asan_mappings.h file .
Manually changing shadow offset to 1<<39 fixes some segfaults.
Bug869: Continued to look at ABS_EXPR cases (2/10).
