From d9dc34cd569bcfe714fe8c708e58c028106e8b2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2012 13:46:37 -0500 Subject: Manual for platform-specific features and new __ppc_get_timebase inline. [BZ #13743] A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level platform-specific functionality. PowerPC added the first instance with a function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase). This is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with high precision that can't afford a syscall. --- ChangeLog | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog') diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 365ff82978..2355970f3c 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,17 @@ +2012-06-04 Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho + + [BZ #13743] + * sysdeps/powerpc/sys/platform/ppc.h: New file for PowerPC features. + * sysdeps/powerpc/Makefile (tests): Add test-gettimebase. + (sysdep_headers): Include sys/platform/ppc.h. + * sysdeps/powerpc/test-gettimebase.c: Test for + __ppc_get_timebase() to catch future ISA opcode/insn changes. + * manual/Makefile (appendices): Include platform.texi. + * manual/contrib.texi (Contributors): Update @node pointers. + * manual/maint.texi (Maintenance): Likewise. + (Platform): New node. + * manual/platform.texi: New file.
