Newberger, Ph.D., Assistant General Counsel, - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. per a Red Hat licensing concern - (initiated at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530230). - Removing this clause alleviates Red Hat's concern, even though this - resolution not shown on the above-cited bugzilla ticket. -- Julian Seward noticed that PLPA's use of the Valgrind API in the - affinity API probe was incorrect and suggested an improvement. Even - though we're ramping down PLPA development, I couldn't really ignore - the Valgrind author's suggestion! - - -1.3.1 ------ - -- Fixed bug identified by Eugene Loh at Sun; plpa-taskset -c ranges - were accidentally excluding the processor ID at the top of the - range. -- For standalone PLPA builds, the .so library is now versioned - according to the GNU Libtool guidelines. - - -1.3 ---- - -- Added --with-valgrind support that allows building support for - Valgrind into PLPA (i.e., tell Valgrind to not warn about things - that we know are ok). - - -1.2 ---- - -- Allow mapping from simple/contiguous processor, socket, and core - numbers to the corresponding back-end Linux ID (and clean up - documentation references between "X number" and "X ID", where X is - one of processor, socket, core). -- Support CPU hot plugging. -- Add explicit control over the PLPA topology information cache. - - -1.1.1 ------ - -- Ensure that --enable-included also disables executables by default. - Thanks to Brian Curtis for identifying the problem and supplying a - patch. -- Add ENABLE_EXECUTABLES m4 macro to allow behavior in m4 - configuration analogous to "--enable-included --enable-executables". - - -1.1 ---- - -- New command: plpa-taskset. It is intended as a drop-in replacement - for the "taskset" command, except it also understands sockets and - cores. See "plpa-taskset --help" for more details -- Renamed "plpa_info" to "plpa-info". -- Added PLPA_{MAJOR|MINOR|RELEASE}_VERSION integer macros in plpa.h. - This release, they have the values of 1, 1, and 0, respectively. -- Add new API functions to map from (socket,core) back and forth from - the Linux virtual processor ID. Thanks to AMD for the initial code - contribution that made this possible. See the documentation for - plpa_map_to_processor_id() as a starting point for more - information. -- Various fixes to "included" mode. - - -1.0.5 ------ - -- Fix an issue where the PLPA get/set affinity functions would only - operate on the current process; the PID argument to these functions - was effectively ignored. - - -1.0.4 ------ - -- Fix some 64 bit issues. Thanks to David Creasy for reporting the - problems. -- Fix plpa.h to be C++-friendly. Thanks to Emmanuel Paris for - pointing out this problem. - - -1.0.3 ------ - -- Resolve some sizing / units ambiguities that mistakenly did not make - it into 1.0.1. Thanks to Bert Wesarg for pointing these problems out. - - -1.0.2 ------ - -- Ensure that plpa_sched_[set|get]affinity() returns 0 upon success. - Thanks to David Creasy for bringing this to our attention. - - -1.0.1 ------ - -- Specify that cpusetsize should be in units of bytes and add some - missing "* 8"'s in plpa_dispatch.c. - - -1.0 ---- - -- Initial release. - - -0.9a2 ------ - -- Change the back-end type of the plpa_bitmask_t to unsigned long - instead of unsigned char to avoid an endian problem. -- No longer attempt to set the affinity in plpa_api_probe() to avoid a - possible race condition (setting it after getting it). -- Fix PLPA_CPU_ZERO macro. Thanks to Bogdan Costescu for pointing - this out. - - -0.9a1 ------ - -Initial public release. |
