so that maintainers could apply them to architecture-specific bugs when necessary. The format, suggested by Steve Langasek, was to use the porters mailinglist as the user, and the architecture name as the usertag (e.g., 'debian-m...@lists.debian.org' as user, and 'm68k' as tag). Armel has alread

I haven't had an opportunity to run the test yet (my laptop currently grinding away building the new release of GCC for m68k) but threads on Linux when using linuxthreads to my knowledge are almost completely in userland; linuxthreads uses clone() to create them. If it requires real-time signals o

Problem would be rather missing memory barier, or non-atomic operation. This should be fixable even with 2.5 glibc and linuxthreads. Do we need a fix in linuxthreads, or the kernel? I don't know. The linuxthreads add-on is currently used by hppa and kfreebsd-* for glibc 2.7. But the latest e

glibc_2.5 & m68k & thread local storage

2007-01-23 Thread Petr Salinger
I am also tagging this bug "help" as I am waiting a patch from the m68k porters to support thread local storage, as already asked on the debian-m68k mailing list. As far as I know, only two places in glibc 2.5 require __thread: inet/inet_ntoa.c and malloc/memusage.c The "fix" for first one co
