1962011-06-27 Userspace RCU 0.6.3
197 * uatomic: Fix i386 compatibility build errors in uatomic.
198
1992011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.2
200 * Fix build on powerpc.
201
2022011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.1
203 * Add missing headers into release tarball:
204 urcu-call-rcu-impl.h and urcu-defer-impl.h
205
2062011-06-10 Userspace RCU 0.6.0
207 * Added call_rcu() support, graciously contributed by Paul E. McKenney.
208 * Added urcu/cds.h and merged all "Concurrent Data Containers" (CDS)
209 into a single .so: liburcu-cds.so to have a single header/shared
210 object holding all concurrency-aware data containers. It provides
211 support for RCU lists, queues and stacks at the moment.
212 * liburcu 0.6.0 now allows linking a single application with multiple
213 flavors of RCU. This required a library API change which is
214 incompatible with older 0.5.x liburcu. The .so version number
215 is therefore bumped from 0 to 1 (e.g. liburcu.so.1).
216 * Added "atfork" handling API, documented in README. Only useful for
217 processes using fork() without following exec().
218 * Renaming the following files, keeping the old files (producing a
219 compiler warning):
220 urcu/uatomic_arch.h -> urcu/uatomic.h
221 urcu/urcu-futex.h -> urcu/futex.h
222 urcu/urcu_ref.h -> urcu/ref.h
223
2242011-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.5.4
225 * urcu-bp: Update fork() handling
226
227 Introduce
228
229 extern void rcu_bp_before_fork(void);
230 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_parent(void);
231 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_child(void);
232
233 to handle fork gracefully. These disable signals and hold
234 the registry mutex across forks. (this flavor of the liburcu
235 library ("bp" for "bulletproof") is mainly used by UST, the
236 user-space tracer).
237
2382011-03-03 Userspace RCU 0.5.3
239 * Add support for older ARM single-CPU architecturess (pre-ARMv7)
240 (thanks to Jason Wessel from WindRiver).
241 * Fix ARMv7 cmm_rmb/cmm_wmb primitives (use a dmb barrier).
242 * Remove leftover list_t type from urcu/list.h (namespace cleanup).
243 * urcu_defer: handle malloc error value.
244 * Update README file to describe urcu interaction with fork() when not
245 * followed
246 by an exec() system call.
247
2482010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.2
249 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0.
250
2512010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.1
252 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0. (incomplete fix)
253
2542010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.0
255 * Version 0.5.0 changes the API presented by memory model,
256 architecture abstraction and data structure primitives in
257 headers. The prefixes are, respectively:
258 - cmm_ : Concurrent Memory Model
259 - caa_ : Concurrent Architecture Abstraction
260 - cds_ : Concurrent Data Structures
261
2622010-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.4.2
263 * Add generic uatomic ops support.
264 * Bugfix in urcu-bp. (rare garbage collection bug occurring in
265 multithreaded environment). Only affects urcu-bp users (UST).
266
2672010-02-12 Userspace RCU 0.4.1
268 * s390: compilation fix.
269
2702010-01-30 Userspace RCU 0.4.0
271 * API change: SIGURCU -> SIGRCU
272 * API changes: standardize on rcu_ prefix.
273 * API change: urcu_init -> rcu_init.
274 * urcu/config.h options renamed to CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FENCE,
275 CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FUTEX, CONFIG_RCU_SMP, CONFIG_RCU_COMPAT_ARCH.
276 ((moving from URCU -> RCU).
277 * library names changes: liburcu becomes the "default" version, using
278 sys_membarrier() when available, and using liburcu-mb as a
279 fallback.
280 * The signal-based liburcu is renamed from liburcu to
281 liburcu-signal. People previously using the signal-based
282 "liburcu" will automatically be moved to the "default" liburcu
283 version.
284
2852009-11-16 Userspace RCU 0.3.1
286 * Add support for sparcv9 32-bit build.
287 * Update build system to use --host instead of --target.
288
2892009-11-03 Userspace RCU 0.3.0
290 * API change for the "deferred work" interface.
291
2922009-10-14 Userspace RCU 0.2.3
293 * Move to autotools.
294 * Automated architecture detection, with i386 fallback.
295 * Detect if NR_futex is on the system, fallback on portable
296 alternatives.
297 * Add configure mode for UP-only systems.
298
2992009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.2
300 * Phases out rcu_publish_content() api.
301 * Adds type checking to urcu-pointer.h pointer exchange primitives.
302
3032009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.1
304 * small header dependency fix for rculist.h.
305 * new "liburcu-bp.so" : "Bulletproof RCU", made especially for
306 the UST userspace tracer. It's a library that sacrifices a bit
307 of read-side performance for automatically monitoring thread
308 creation/removal. See README for details.
309
3102009-10-01 Userspace RCU 0.2
311 * Clarify usage of rcu_cmpxchg_pointer, rcu_xchg_pointer,
312 rcu_set_pointer.
313
3142009-09-29 Userspace RCU 0.1
315 * Initial release.
