GNU C Library BoF What are we doing in coming year? GNU C Library BoF ● We will release 2 versions of glibc. – glibc 2.33 on February 1st 2021. – glibc 2.34 on August 1st 2021. ● How will we achieve this? – Patch review! GNU C Library BoF ● Patch review challenge: – How could I review 100 patches in 1 day? – Audience answers last year: ● Drugs. ● No sleep. GNU C Library BoF ● Patch review: – In July I peaked at ~16 patches one day. – Several days of 9-11 patches reviewed. – Long way to go to 100. GNU C Library BoF ● Patch review: – Since last cauldron: ● 554 “Reviewed-by:” lines! Way to go! ● Thank you reviewers! (>= 25 recorded reviews) – Adhemerval Zanella – Carlos O’Donell – Siddhesh Poyarekar – Lukas Majewski – Tulio Mango Quites Machado Filho – DJ Delroie GNU C Library BoF ● Sustainable patch review for 2.32? – I ignored all my other work. – I setup git-pw and local automation to give “Tested-By:” – Always by-hand inspection to give “Signed-off- by:” – Answer: Nope. GNU C Library BoF ● Patch review? – Weekly – Two timezones – Use patchwork – Make it smooth – Involve the community GNU C Library BoF ● Patch review? – Integrate patchwork into buildbots to get CI? – Want to know if patch builds – Want to know testsuite results with patch GNU C Library BoF ● Patch review before bug review? – Patches are more valuable. – Fix immediate problems. – Engage the community. ● Eventually we need bug review. GNU C Library BoF ● Other stuff? – Restartable sequences (rseq) – DSO DFS sort – x86 cpu-features.h – RV32 – 64-bit time_t – malloc hook deprecation / mtrace GNU C Library BoF ● Questions? – [email protected] (Devlopers) – [email protected] (Help!) – https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki (Wiki) – https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ (Bugs) .

This has, in turn, motivated new Operating System (OS) designs to manage these het- erogeneous processors and accelerators systematically. M3 [9] is an OS following the microkernel approach. M3 uses a hardware/- software co-design to exploit the heterogeneous systems in a seamless and effi- cient form. It achieves that by abstracting the heterogeneity of the cores via a Data Transfer Unit (DTU). The DTU abstracts the heterogeneity of the cores and accelerators so that they can communicate systematically. I have been working to enhance the programming environment in M3 by porting a C library to M3. I have evaluated different C library implementations like the GNU C Library (glibc), Musl, and uClibc. I decided to port Musl as it has a relatively small code base with fewer configurations. It is simpler to port, and it started to gain more ground in embedded systems which are also a perfect match for M3 applications.

Guix supports transactional age management consists in all the activities that relate upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, to building packages from source, honoring the build-time per-user profiles, and garbage collection. It builds upon the and run-time dependencies on packages, installing, removing, low-level build and deployment layer of the Nix package man- and upgrading packages in user environments. In addition ager. Guix uses Scheme as its programming interface. In to these standard features, Guix supports transactional up- particular, we devise an embedded domain-specific language grades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, (EDSL) to describe and compose packages. We demonstrate per-user profiles, and garbage collection. Guix comes with a how it allows us to benefit from the host general-purpose distribution of user-land free software packages. programming language while not compromising on expres- siveness. Second, we show the use of Scheme to write build Guix seeks to empower users in several ways: by offering the programs, leading to a \two-tier" programming system. uncommon features listed above, by providing the tools that allow users to formally correlate a binary package and the Categories and Subject Descriptors \recipes" and source code that led to it|furthering the spirit D.4.5 [Operating Systems]: Reliability; D.4.5 [Operating of the GNU General Public License|, by allowing them to Systems]: System Programs and Utilities; D.1.1 [Software]: customize the distribution, and by lowering the barrier to Applicative (Functional) Programming entry in distribution development.
