Again, please provided non-empty ChangeLog entries.

You can use contrib/gcc-changelog/git_check_commit.py to validate them.

I don't see "Signed-off-by" tags in the patches.  Have you either filed
a copyright assignment with the FSF, or can you please add the tags to
certify that you wrote the patches and can contribute them, see:
  https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal
  https://gcc.gnu.org/dco.html

Reporting expected fail."

I think this should be "unsupported" rather than "xfail".

This is OK, but maybe using gcc_jit_context_dump_to_file with
update_locations == 1 might be more sustainable in the long run?  See:
  https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/topics/locations.html#faking-it

OK otherwise.
