1652011-06-27 Userspace RCU 0.6.3
166 * uatomic: Fix i386 compatibility build errors in uatomic.
167
1682011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.2
169 * Fix build on powerpc.
170
1712011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.1
172 * Add missing headers into release tarball:
173 urcu-call-rcu-impl.h and urcu-defer-impl.h
174
1752011-06-10 Userspace RCU 0.6.0
176 * Added call_rcu() support, graciously contributed by Paul E. McKenney.
177 * Added urcu/cds.h and merged all "Concurrent Data Containers" (CDS)
178 into a single .so: liburcu-cds.so to have a single header/shared
179 object holding all concurrency-aware data containers. It provides
180 support for RCU lists, queues and stacks at the moment.
181 * liburcu 0.6.0 now allows linking a single application with multiple
182 flavors of RCU. This required a library API change which is
183 incompatible with older 0.5.x liburcu. The .so version number
184 is therefore bumped from 0 to 1 (e.g. liburcu.so.1).
185 * Added "atfork" handling API, documented in README. Only useful for
186 processes using fork() without following exec().
187 * Renaming the following files, keeping the old files (producing a
188 compiler warning):
189 urcu/uatomic_arch.h -> urcu/uatomic.h
190 urcu/urcu-futex.h -> urcu/futex.h
191 urcu/urcu_ref.h -> urcu/ref.h
192
1932011-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.5.4
194 * urcu-bp: Update fork() handling
195
196 Introduce
197
198 extern void rcu_bp_before_fork(void);
199 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_parent(void);
200 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_child(void);
201
202 to handle fork gracefully. These disable signals and hold
203 the registry mutex across forks. (this flavor of the liburcu
204 library ("bp" for "bulletproof") is mainly used by UST, the
205 user-space tracer).
206
2072011-03-03 Userspace RCU 0.5.3
208 * Add support for older ARM single-CPU architecturess (pre-ARMv7)
209 (thanks to Jason Wessel from WindRiver).
210 * Fix ARMv7 cmm_rmb/cmm_wmb primitives (use a dmb barrier).
211 * Remove leftover list_t type from urcu/list.h (namespace cleanup).
212 * urcu_defer: handle malloc error value.
213 * Update README file to describe urcu interaction with fork() when not
214 * followed
215 by an exec() system call.
216
2172010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.2
218 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0.
219
2202010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.1
221 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0. (incomplete fix)
222
2232010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.0
224 * Version 0.5.0 changes the API presented by memory model,
225 architecture abstraction and data structure primitives in
226 headers. The prefixes are, respectively:
227 - cmm_ : Concurrent Memory Model
228 - caa_ : Concurrent Architecture Abstraction
229 - cds_ : Concurrent Data Structures
230
2312010-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.4.2
232 * Add generic uatomic ops support.
233 * Bugfix in urcu-bp. (rare garbage collection bug occurring in
234 multithreaded environment). Only affects urcu-bp users (UST).
235
2362010-02-12 Userspace RCU 0.4.1
237 * s390: compilation fix.
238
2392010-01-30 Userspace RCU 0.4.0
240 * API change: SIGURCU -> SIGRCU
241 * API changes: standardize on rcu_ prefix.
242 * API change: urcu_init -> rcu_init.
243 * urcu/config.h options renamed to CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FENCE,
244 CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FUTEX, CONFIG_RCU_SMP, CONFIG_RCU_COMPAT_ARCH.
245 ((moving from URCU -> RCU).
246 * library names changes: liburcu becomes the "default" version, using
247 sys_membarrier() when available, and using liburcu-mb as a
248 fallback.
249 * The signal-based liburcu is renamed from liburcu to
250 liburcu-signal. People previously using the signal-based
251 "liburcu" will automatically be moved to the "default" liburcu
252 version.
253
2542009-11-16 Userspace RCU 0.3.1
255 * Add support for sparcv9 32-bit build.
256 * Update build system to use --host instead of --target.
257
2582009-11-03 Userspace RCU 0.3.0
259 * API change for the "deferred work" interface.
260
2612009-10-14 Userspace RCU 0.2.3
262 * Move to autotools.
263 * Automated architecture detection, with i386 fallback.
264 * Detect if NR_futex is on the system, fallback on portable
265 alternatives.
266 * Add configure mode for UP-only systems.
267
2682009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.2
269 * Phases out rcu_publish_content() api.
270 * Adds type checking to urcu-pointer.h pointer exchange primitives.
271
2722009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.1
273 * small header dependency fix for rculist.h.
274 * new "liburcu-bp.so" : "Bulletproof RCU", made especially for
275 the UST userspace tracer. It's a library that sacrifices a bit
276 of read-side performance for automatically monitoring thread
277 creation/removal. See README for details.
278
2792009-10-01 Userspace RCU 0.2
280 * Clarify usage of rcu_cmpxchg_pointer, rcu_xchg_pointer,
281 rcu_set_pointer.
282
2832009-09-29 Userspace RCU 0.1
284 * Initial release.
