All-
As promised, here is the Linux IA64 To-Do list, current
as of 2/9/01. The pretty printed HTML version is always
available at `http://www.linuxia64.org/todo.html/'. Note
that there are a few things that no one has signed up to
do yet. If you are interested in taking responsibility for:
EEPro100
Hot plug SCSI
GLIBC unwind API
setjmp cleanup
just let me know (here is your chance for fame and fortune :-)
Linux IA64 To-Do List
Februrary 9, 2001
Kernel
Task
Owner
Details
Unaligned handler
David Mosberger - DONE
Works for user procs, need support for kernel
CS4281 Sound
Thomas Woller
Should be OK, requires updated MPG128 and/or XMMS
EEPro100
?
Hangs on >180MB xfers
Hot plug SCSI
?
Hotplugging doesn't crash the kernel but the
kernel doesn't detect the change.
Other HW Support
UNIX98 test suite
Doug Beattie
Fix test suite failures, need simple test cases
CPU state on execve
David Mosberger
Clear CPU state to avoid info leak to new program.
Alan Cox thinks it would be sufficient to do this when
current->dumpable is zero
AGP Support
Chris Ahna
DRI support
Chris Ahna
Need DRI module for ATI Rage128
llseek
Erich Focht - DONE
Need llseek for fs/proc/base.c:proc_mem operations.
Patch submitted.
Libraries
Task
Owner
Details
gprof support
Jes Sorensen
Most of the GLIBC bits should be there,
hope to get the M4 autoconf done soon.
GLIBC unwind API
?
Define API that works with signal handling, probably
starting from the kernel unwinder.
Implement this API
Contact David Mosberger for details.
setjmp cleanup
?
Bring setjmp into compliance with SW conventions
(flushrs must be done on a setjmp)
Remove extraneous loadrs in __longjmp.
Contact David Mosberger for details.
Applications
Task Owner Details
gdb
Kevin Buettner
NaT bits fail
pthread support
coredump support broken
inferior function calls fail
HW watchpoints fail
strace
Don Dugger
new system calls added
strace -f hangs on a fork
