Other Activity This Week
- elf: Remove extra hwcap mechanism from ldconfig
Florian Weimer: Historically, this mechanism was used to process "nosegneg" subdirectories, and it is still used to include the "tls" subdirectories. - elf: Do not read hwcaps from the vDSO in ld.so
Florian Weimer: This was only ever used for the "nosegneg" flag.
Recent Activity
- nptl: Make pthread_attr_t dynamically extensible
Florian Weimer: This introduces the function __pthread_attr_extension to allocate the extension space, which is freed by pthread_attr_destroy. - htl: Make pthread_cond_destroy wait for threads to be woken
Samuel Thibault: This allows to reuse the storage after calling pthread_cond_destroy. - sysdeps/htl/bits/types/struct___pthread_cond.h (__pthread_cond): Replace unused struct __pthread_condimpl *__impl field with unsigned int __wrefs. - elf: Remove extra hwcap mechanism from ldconfig
Florian Weimer: Historically, this mechanism was used to process "nosegneg" subdirectories, and it is still used to include the "tls" subdirectories. - elf: Do not read hwcaps from the vDSO in ld.so
Florian Weimer: This was only ever used for the "nosegneg" flag. - elf.h: add aarch64 property definitions
Szabolcs Nagy: These property values are specified by the AArch64 ELF ABI and binutils can create binaries marked with them. - powerpc: Optimized rawmemchr for POWER9
Anton Blanchard: This version uses vector instructions and is up to 60% faster on medium matches and up to 90% faster on long matches, compared to the POWER7 version. - Remove NO_CTORS_DTORS_SECTIONS macro
Florian Weimer: This was originally added to support binutils older than version 2.22: < - powerpc: Optimized stpcpy for POWER9
Anton Blanchard via Libc-alpha: Add stpcpy support to the POWER9 strcpy. - powerpc: Optimized strcpy for POWER9
Anton Blanchard via Libc-alpha: This version uses VSX store vector with length instructions and is significantly faster on small strings and relatively unaligned large strings, compared to the POWER8 version. - Update timezone code from tzcode 2020a
Paul Eggert: This patch updates files coming from tzcode to tzcode 2020a.
glibc Release Tags
- Generate ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.20 for 2.31
Siddhesh Poyarekar: We're ready to tag! - Open master for 2.32 development
Siddhesh Poyarekar: happy hacking! - [MIPS] Raise highest supported EI_ABIVERSION value [BZ #24916]
Mihailo Stojanovic: This bumps the highest valid EI_ABIVERSION value to ABSOLUTE ABI. New testcase loads the symbol from the GOT with the "lb" instruction so that the EI_ABIVERSION header field of the shared object is set to ABSOLUTE (it doesn't actually check the value of the symbol), and makes sure that the main executable is executed without "ABI version invalid" error. Tested for all three ABIs (o32, n32, n64) using both static linker which handles undefined weak symbols correctly [1] (and sets the EI_ABIVERSION of the test module) and the one that doesn't (EI_ABIVERSION left as 0). [1] - Open master for 2.31 development
Carlos O'Donell - Tag 2.30 release
Carlos O'Donell - Update install and NEWS for 2.30 release
Carlos O'Donell - Replace PREPARE_VERSION macro with inline function
Tobias Klauser: - sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-vdso.h (PREPARE_VERSION): Remove macro. - Add missing VDSO_{NAME,HASH}_* macros and use them for PREPARE_VERSION_KNOWN
Tobias Klauser: Define all currently used Linux versions used for PREPARE_VERSION{,_KNOWN} in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-vdso.h and use them instead of duplicating the versions and precomputed hashes across architecture specific files. - sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/gettimeofday.c (INIT_ARCH): Use PREPARE_VERSION_KNOWN. - sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/init-first.c: Likewise. - sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-vdso.h (VDSO_NAME_LINUX_2_6_39): New define. - Open master for 2.30 development
Siddhesh Poyarekar - Open master branch for glibc 2.29 development

- Use GCC 10 branch in build-many-glibcs.py
Joseph Myers: This updates the default GCC version used in build-many-glibcs.py when no version is specified explicitly. - semaphore: consolidate arch headers into a generic one
Vineet Gupta: This consolidates the copy-pasted arch specific semaphore header into single version (based on s390) which suffices 32-bit and and 64-bit arch/ABI based on the canonical WORDSIZE. - Update timezone code from tzcode 2020a
Paul Eggert: This patch updates files coming from tzcode to tzcode 2020a. - Linux: Enhance glibcsyscalls.py to support listing system calls
Florian Weimer: The script can now be called to query the definition status of system call numbers across all architectures, like this: - Remove NO_CTORS_DTORS_SECTIONS macro
