67
68 2011-07-21 Userspace RCU 0.6.4
69 * uatomic: Fix ARM build errors in uatomic.
70 * urcu tests: hold mutex across use of custom allocator.
71 * Portability fixes to support FreeBSD 8.2.
72
73 2011-06-27 Userspace RCU 0.6.3
74 * uatomic: Fix i386 compatibility build errors in uatomic.
75
76 2011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.2
77 * Fix build on powerpc.
78
79 2011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.1
80 * Add missing headers into release tarball:
81 urcu-call-rcu-impl.h and urcu-defer-impl.h
82
83 2011-06-10 Userspace RCU 0.6.0
84 * Added call_rcu() support, graciously contributed by Paul E. McKenney.
85 * Added urcu/cds.h and merged all "Concurrent Data Containers" (CDS)
86 into a single .so: liburcu-cds.so to have a single header/shared
87 object holding all concurrency-aware data containers. It provides
88 support for RCU lists, queues and stacks at the moment.
89 * liburcu 0.6.0 now allows linking a single application with multiple
90 flavors of RCU. This required a library API change which is
91 incompatible with older 0.5.x liburcu. The .so version number
92 is therefore bumped from 0 to 1 (e.g. liburcu.so.1).
93 * Added "atfork" handling API, documented in README. Only useful for
94 processes using fork() without following exec().
95 * Renaming the following files, keeping the old files (producing a
96 compiler warning):
97 urcu/uatomic_arch.h -> urcu/uatomic.h
98 urcu/urcu-futex.h -> urcu/futex.h
99 urcu/urcu_ref.h -> urcu/ref.h
100
101 2011-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.5.4
102 * urcu-bp: Update fork() handling
103
104 Introduce
105
106 extern void rcu_bp_before_fork(void);
107 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_parent(void);
108 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_child(void);
109
110 to handle fork gracefully. These disable signals and hold
111 the registry mutex across forks. (this flavor of the liburcu
112 library ("bp" for "bulletproof") is mainly used by UST, the
113 user-space tracer).
114
115 2011-03-03 Userspace RCU 0.5.3
116 * Add support for older ARM single-CPU architecturess (pre-ARMv7)
117 (thanks to Jason Wessel from WindRiver).
118 * Fix ARMv7 cmm_rmb/cmm_wmb primitives (use a dmb barrier).
119 * Remove leftover list_t type from urcu/list.h (namespace cleanup).
120 * urcu_defer: handle malloc error value.
121 * Update README file to describe urcu interaction with fork() when not
122 * followed
123 by an exec() system call.
124
125 2010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.2
126 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0.
127
128 2010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.1
129 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0. (incomplete fix)
130
131 2010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.0
132 * Version 0.5.0 changes the API presented by memory model,
133 architecture abstraction and data structure primitives in
134 headers. The prefixes are, respectively:
135 - cmm_ : Concurrent Memory Model
136 - caa_ : Concurrent Architecture Abstraction
137 - cds_ : Concurrent Data Structures
138
139 2010-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.4.2
140 * Add generic uatomic ops support.
141 * Bugfix in urcu-bp. (rare garbage collection bug occurring in
142 multithreaded environment). Only affects urcu-bp users (UST).
143
144 2010-02-12 Userspace RCU 0.4.1
145 * s390: compilation fix.
146
147 2010-01-30 Userspace RCU 0.4.0
148 * API change: SIGURCU -> SIGRCU
149 * API changes: standardize on rcu_ prefix.
150 * API change: urcu_init -> rcu_init.
151 * urcu/config.h options renamed to CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FENCE,
152 CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FUTEX, CONFIG_RCU_SMP, CONFIG_RCU_COMPAT_ARCH.
153 ((moving from URCU -> RCU).
154 * library names changes: liburcu becomes the "default" version, using
155 sys_membarrier() when available, and using liburcu-mb as a
156 fallback.
157 * The signal-based liburcu is renamed from liburcu to
158 liburcu-signal. People previously using the signal-based
159 "liburcu" will automatically be moved to the "default" liburcu
160 version.
161
162 2009-11-16 Userspace RCU 0.3.1
163 * Add support for sparcv9 32-bit build.
164 * Update build system to use --host instead of --target.
165
166 2009-11-03 Userspace RCU 0.3.0
167 * API change for the "deferred work" interface.
168
169 2009-10-14 Userspace RCU 0.2.3
170 * Move to autotools.
171 * Automated architecture detection, with i386 fallback.
172 * Detect if NR_futex is on the system, fallback on portable
173 alternatives.
174 * Add configure mode for UP-only systems.
175
176 2009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.2
177 * Phases out rcu_publish_content() api.
178 * Adds type checking to urcu-pointer.h pointer exchange primitives.
179
180 2009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.1
181 * small header dependency fix for rculist.h.
182 * new "liburcu-bp.so" : "Bulletproof RCU", made especially for
183 the UST userspace tracer. It's a library that sacrifices a bit
184 of read-side performance for automatically monitoring thread
185 creation/removal. See README for details.
186
187 2009-10-01 Userspace RCU 0.2
188 * Clarify usage of rcu_cmpxchg_pointer, rcu_xchg_pointer,
189 rcu_set_pointer.
190
191 2009-09-29 Userspace RCU 0.1
192 * Initial release.
