812011-06-27 Userspace RCU 0.6.3
82 * uatomic: Fix i386 compatibility build errors in uatomic.
83
842011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.2
85 * Fix build on powerpc.
86
872011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.1
88 * Add missing headers into release tarball:
89 urcu-call-rcu-impl.h and urcu-defer-impl.h
90
912011-06-10 Userspace RCU 0.6.0
92 * Added call_rcu() support, graciously contributed by Paul E. McKenney.
93 * Added urcu/cds.h and merged all "Concurrent Data Containers" (CDS)
94 into a single .so: liburcu-cds.so to have a single header/shared
95 object holding all concurrency-aware data containers. It provides
96 support for RCU lists, queues and stacks at the moment.
97 * liburcu 0.6.0 now allows linking a single application with multiple
98 flavors of RCU. This required a library API change which is
99 incompatible with older 0.5.x liburcu. The .so version number
100 is therefore bumped from 0 to 1 (e.g. liburcu.so.1).
101 * Added "atfork" handling API, documented in README. Only useful for
102 processes using fork() without following exec().
103 * Renaming the following files, keeping the old files (producing a
104 compiler warning):
105 urcu/uatomic_arch.h -> urcu/uatomic.h
106 urcu/urcu-futex.h -> urcu/futex.h
107 urcu/urcu_ref.h -> urcu/ref.h
108
1092011-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.5.4
110 * urcu-bp: Update fork() handling
111
112 Introduce
113
114 extern void rcu_bp_before_fork(void);
115 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_parent(void);
116 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_child(void);
117
118 to handle fork gracefully. These disable signals and hold
119 the registry mutex across forks. (this flavor of the liburcu
120 library ("bp" for "bulletproof") is mainly used by UST, the
121 user-space tracer).
122
1232011-03-03 Userspace RCU 0.5.3
124 * Add support for older ARM single-CPU architecturess (pre-ARMv7)
125 (thanks to Jason Wessel from WindRiver).
126 * Fix ARMv7 cmm_rmb/cmm_wmb primitives (use a dmb barrier).
127 * Remove leftover list_t type from urcu/list.h (namespace cleanup).
128 * urcu_defer: handle malloc error value.
129 * Update README file to describe urcu interaction with fork() when not
130 * followed
131 by an exec() system call.
132
1332010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.2
134 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0.
135
1362010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.1
137 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0. (incomplete fix)
138
1392010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.0
140 * Version 0.5.0 changes the API presented by memory model,
141 architecture abstraction and data structure primitives in
142 headers. The prefixes are, respectively:
143 - cmm_ : Concurrent Memory Model
144 - caa_ : Concurrent Architecture Abstraction
145 - cds_ : Concurrent Data Structures
146
1472010-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.4.2
148 * Add generic uatomic ops support.
149 * Bugfix in urcu-bp. (rare garbage collection bug occurring in
150 multithreaded environment). Only affects urcu-bp users (UST).
151
1522010-02-12 Userspace RCU 0.4.1
153 * s390: compilation fix.
154
1552010-01-30 Userspace RCU 0.4.0
156 * API change: SIGURCU -> SIGRCU
157 * API changes: standardize on rcu_ prefix.
158 * API change: urcu_init -> rcu_init.
159 * urcu/config.h options renamed to CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FENCE,
160 CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FUTEX, CONFIG_RCU_SMP, CONFIG_RCU_COMPAT_ARCH.
161 ((moving from URCU -> RCU).
162 * library names changes: liburcu becomes the "default" version, using
163 sys_membarrier() when available, and using liburcu-mb as a
164 fallback.
165 * The signal-based liburcu is renamed from liburcu to
166 liburcu-signal. People previously using the signal-based
167 "liburcu" will automatically be moved to the "default" liburcu
168 version.
169
1702009-11-16 Userspace RCU 0.3.1
171 * Add support for sparcv9 32-bit build.
172 * Update build system to use --host instead of --target.
173
1742009-11-03 Userspace RCU 0.3.0
175 * API change for the "deferred work" interface.
176
1772009-10-14 Userspace RCU 0.2.3
178 * Move to autotools.
179 * Automated architecture detection, with i386 fallback.
180 * Detect if NR_futex is on the system, fallback on portable
181 alternatives.
182 * Add configure mode for UP-only systems.
183
1842009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.2
185 * Phases out rcu_publish_content() api.
186 * Adds type checking to urcu-pointer.h pointer exchange primitives.
187
1882009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.1
189 * small header dependency fix for rculist.h.
190 * new "liburcu-bp.so" : "Bulletproof RCU", made especially for
191 the UST userspace tracer. It's a library that sacrifices a bit
192 of read-side performance for automatically monitoring thread
193 creation/removal. See README for details.
194
1952009-10-01 Userspace RCU 0.2
196 * Clarify usage of rcu_cmpxchg_pointer, rcu_xchg_pointer,
197 rcu_set_pointer.
198
1992009-09-29 Userspace RCU 0.1
200 * Initial release.
