Other Activity This Week
- riscv: Add RVV strncmp for both multiarch and non-multiarch builds
Yao Zihong: This patch adds an RVV-optimized implementation of strncmp for RISC-V and enables it for both multiarch (IFUNC) and non-multiarch builds. The implementation integrates Hau Hsu's 2023 RVV work under a unified ifunc-based framework. - riscv: Add RVV strcmp for both multiarch and non-multiarch builds
Yao Zihong: This patch adds an RVV-optimized implementation of strcmp for RISC-V and enables it for both multiarch (IFUNC) and non-multiarch builds. The implementation integrates Hau Hsu's 2023 RVV work under a unified ifunc-based framework. - stdlib: Add internal stdc_rotate_left implementation
Uros Bizjak: It follows the C2y N3367 proposed interface, along with some tests imported from gnulib (and adapted to glibc libsupport).
Recent Activity
- elf: Eliminate alloca for program-header table in the ELF loader
Adhemerval Zanella: The ELF loader allocates the program-header table on the stack with alloca(e_phnum * sizeof(ElfW(Phdr))) in two places: once in open_verify to call elf_machine_reject_phdr_p, and again in _dl_map_object_from_fd to scan segment types. - riscv: Add RVV strncmp for both multiarch and non-multiarch builds

xiejiamei: Extend the Prefer_No_AVX512 tuning to cover Hygon model 0x8. Benchmarks on Hygon platforms show that EVEX implementations are often more profitable than AVX512 paths. - nss: Add verbose flag to getent tool
Petr Menšík: Unlike older hosts database served by gethostbyname, getaddrinfo call can return varying return codes. - riscv: Add RVV memcpy for both multiarch and non-multiarch builds

Stefan Liebler: The linux 6.19 release has removed support for compat syscalls on s390x. - stdlib: Add internal stdc_rotate_left implementation
Uros Bizjak: It follows the C2y N3367 proposed interface, along with some tests imported from gnulib (and adapted to glibc libsupport). - loongarch: Enable THP-aligned load segments by default on 64-bit
WANG Rui: On LoongArch64 Linux, aligning ELF load segments to Transparent Huge Page (THP) boundaries provides consistent performance benefits for large binaries by reducing TLB pressure and improving instruction fetch efficiency. Enable THP-based load segment alignment by default on LoongArch64 by setting `glibc.elf.thp=1` during startup. - s390: Remove s390-32 specific code in non s390-32 specific files
Stefan Liebler: This patch removes s390-32 specific code in either common-code files or shared files between s390-64 and s390-32. Such code was guarded with preprocessor guards which check the size of __WORDSIZE or __ELF_NATIVE_CLASS and of course the existance of __s390x__ and __s390__ macros. Note, that if __s390x__ is defined then __s390__ is also defined.
