[Linux-ia64] Linux IA64 ToDo List

[Linux-ia64] Linux IA64 ToDo List

[n0ano]

It's been brought to my attention that the Linux IA64 ToDo list
has gotten rather out of date.  I'm willing to fix this and    
keep the list up to date but I need help from everyone else.

I need to know what people are doing.  (I also need to know what
you're not doing :-)                                            

What I'm looking for is both what you are actively working on
and also what you would like to see done.  If you could send 
me a simple email about this I'll collate everything and put
it up on the ToDo list at `www.linuxia64.org/todo.html'.    

I'll start it off.  I have two tasks I'm working on right now.

1.  Remove race from IA32 `mmap' system call.

2.  Fix coredump when OpenOffice/ia32 saves a spreadsheet as
a StarCalc 6.0 file.                                        

Anyone else?

I'm continuing to working on the unwind library (and its API).  Local
stacktraces, (gcc) exception handling, and remote stack traces are
working now.  Next is getting gdb to use the unwind library.

The next thing I plan to do is to streamline the system call path.
The goal primarily is to avoid saving/restoring the scratch registers,
but it's likely that I'll also toy around with lightweight system
calls.

[Luck, Tony]

I'm working (in collaboration with people at SGI, NEC, HP, IBM,
TurboLinux), on ccNUMA and other large system support.  Bits of
the project are scattered around on sourceforge, but there is a
good page at:
	http://atlas.turbolinux.com
that gives an overview and points to the various pieces.

There is also a GCC Wish List next to the Linux To-Do list, and the gcc one is
also badly out of date.  However, there is a reasonably up to date one being
maintained on the FSF gcc web site, so I would suggest just dropping that
page and pointing at the FSF gcc one instead.

OK, I've incorporated everyone's comments into the ToDo list.  Check
it out at `www.linuxia64.org/todo.html' and make sure I haven't
misrepresented what anyone is doing.  I'll try and send out a reminder
on a monthly basis to have everyone keep me updated on what's happening
so I can keep the ToDo list up to date.
