- Subject: [RFC/PATCH] RT-NPTL-2.1
Dear All,
I am pleased to announce rtnptl-2.1 is out.
Changes from 2.0
================
* Add --enable-robust-mutex support
* Fix a bug in pthread_mutex_init() to reinitialize a robust mutex.
Rtnpl-2.1 is based on the latest NPTL and the following Real-time
features have been added:
- Robust Mutexes
- Priority Inheritance
- Priority Protection
- Robust Condvar
Currently it works on both x86 and ia64.
It is required FUSYN(Fast User SYNChronization) kernel:
http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/fusyn/.
The installation manual can be found at:
http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/rtnptl/.
You'll need the latest glibc cvs sources.
All the rtnptl patches can be found at
http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/rtnptl/.
TODO
====
- Runtime switch normal mutexes and robust mutexes
- Make lowlevelrtlock.c generic
Good Luck !
