Other Activity This Week
- x86: Enable Prefer_No_AVX512 for Hygon model 0x8
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.
Recent Activity
- riscv: Add RVV strlen for both multiarch and non-multiarch builds
Yao Zihong: This patch adds an RVV-optimized implementation of strlen 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. - x86: Enable Prefer_No_AVX512 for Hygon model 0x8

Stefan Liebler: All the files in subfolders s390/s390-64 in sysdeps directory are moved up to the s390/ ones. - s390: Switch to common-code headers
Stefan Liebler: The removal of s390-32 allows us to switch to common-code headers instead of providing s390-64 specific headers: from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/bits/environments.h to bits/environments.h -> We now only have a 64bit environment. from sysdeps/s390/s390-64/bits/wordsize.h to sysdeps/wordsize-64/bits/wordsize.h-> All macros are defined equal from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/bits/utmp.h to bits/utmp.h-> On s390-64, __WORDSIZE_TIME64_COMPAT32 is defined to 0, then the 64bit part of both headers is identical from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/bits/utmpx.h to sysdeps/gnu/bits/utmpx.h-> On s390-64, __WORDSIZE_TIME64_COMPAT32 is defined to 0, then the 64bit part of both headers is identical from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/bits/timesize.h to bits/timesize.h-> __TIMESIZE is defined to 64 in both cases from sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/bits/procfs-id.h to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/procfs-id.h-> The typedefs for __pr_uid_t and __pr_gid_t on s390-64 are equal in both files.

Stefan Liebler: The linux 6.19 release has removed support for compat syscalls on s390x. - 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. - riscv: Add RVV strcpy for both multiarch and non-multiarch builds
