This is a reminder that master is still frozen.
Only bug fixes and documentation patches.
Machine maintainers should *start* testing to make sure you
don't run into any unforseen problems.
I'd like to have the last bug fixes in by the end of the week.
aarch64 status:
i cannot edit

here is an update on a new toolchain:

there is a fix as part of the cancel changes:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-06/msg00950.html
i can fix this independently, but i think it is ok
to delay this until next release and do it with the
cancellation fixes.
still applies.
other pending issues:
BZ 17918 dynamic-linker race: pthread_create can access
GL(dl_tls_max_dtv_idx) and GL(dl_tls_generation) without
holding the rtld lock.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17918
i don't know about any fix for this.
this is the cause of nptl/tst-stack4 failure, it affects all archs,
it happens about once out of 100 runs here on aarch64.
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-tls.c: 493: _dl_allocate_tls_init:
Assertion `listp->slotinfo[cnt].gen <= _rtld_local._dl_tls_generation'
failed!
BZ 18707 aarch64 --enable-profile is broken because asm
for the mcount call clobbers registers it shouldn't.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18707
i have a fix for this, not published yet.
