McKenney" , Lai Jiangshan , Stephen Hemminger List-Id: lttng-dev@lists.lttng.org liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiples copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after which memory reclamation is possible. liburcu-cds provides efficient data structures based on RCU and lock-free algorithms. Those structures include hash tables, queues, stacks, and doubly-linked lists. The main change in this version is the added support for MIPS, contributed by Ralf Baechle. Changelog: 2012-08-27 Userspace RCU 0.7.4 * rculfhash API documentation: document destroy RCU read-lock constraint * Fix: rculfhash should be offline while waiting for resize to complete * Add missing entry to gitignore * urcu: move busy-wait code and name it ___cds_wfq_node_sync_next() * urcu: fix compat_futex_noasync() * urcu: add hint to DEFINE_URCU_TLS() for compound types * Fix: CAA_BUILD_BUG_ON should refer to CAA_BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO * Add MIPS support * Compatibility: remove bash-ismsm from test scripts * Fix inappropriate lib behavior: don't call exit() * Fix: re-enable compatibility with autoconf < 2.64 * Fix c99 compatibility: use __asm__ and __volatile__ in public headers * Fix c99 compatibility: use __typeof__ instead of typeof in public headers * warning fix: tests urcutorture for NetBSD 5 -- Mathieu Desnoyers Operating System Efficiency R&D Consultant EfficiOS Inc. http://www.efficios.com
