- removed patches (fixed upstream)
* hwloc-1.7-manpage.patch
* hwloc-1.7.patch
- Update to Version 1.9.0
* API
+ Add hwloc_obj_type_sscanf() to extend hwloc_obj_type_of_string() with
type-specific attributes such as Cache/Group depth and Cache type.
hwloc_obj_type_of_string() is moved to hwloc/deprecated.h.
+ Add hwloc_linux_get_tid_last_cpu_location() for retrieving the
last CPU where a Linux thread given by TID ran.
+ Add hwloc_distrib() to extend the old hwloc_distribute[v]() functions.
hwloc_distribute[v]() is moved to hwloc/deprecated.h.
+ Don't mix total and local memory when displaying verbose object attributes
with hwloc_obj_attr_snprintf() or in lstopo.
* Backends
+ Add CPUVendor, CPUModelNumber and CPUFamilyNumber info attributes for
x86, ia64 and Xeon Phi sockets on Linux, to extend the x86-specific
support added in v1.8.1. Requested by Ralph Castain.
+ Add many CPU- and Platform-related info attributes on ARM and POWER
platforms, in the Machine and Socket objects.
+ Add CUDA info attributes describing the number of multiprocessors and
cores and the size of the global, shared and L2 cache memories in CUDA
OS devices.
+ Add OpenCL info attributes describing the number of compute units and
the global memory size in OpenCL OS devices.
+ The synthetic backend now accepts extended types such as L2Cache, L1i or
Group3. lstopo also exports synthetic strings using these extended types.
* Tools
+ lstopo
- Do not overwrite output files by default anymore.
Pass -f or --force to enforce it.
- Display OpenCL, CUDA and Xeon Phi numbers of cores and memory sizes
in the graphical output.
- Fix export to stdout when specifying a Cairo-based output type
with --of.
+ hwloc-ps
- Add -e or --get-last-cpu-location to report where processes/threads
run instead of where they are bound.
- Report locations as likely-more-useful objects such as Cores or Sockets
instead of Caches when possible.
+ hwloc-bind
- Fix failure on Windows when not using --pid.
- Add -e as a synonym to --get-last-cpu-location.
+ hwloc-distrib
- Add --reverse to distribute using last objects first and singlify
into last bits first. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for the suggestion.
+ hwloc-info
- Report unified caches when looking for data or instruction cache
ancestor objects.
* Misc
+ Add experimental Visual Studio support under contrib/windows.
Thanks to Eloi Gaudry for his help and for providing the first draft.
+ Fix some overzealous assertions and warnings about the ordering of
objects on a level with respect to cpusets. The ordering is only
guaranteed for complete cpusets (based on the first bit in sets).
+ Fix some memory leaks when importing xml diffs and when exporting a
"too complex" entry.
1.8.1:
* Fix the cpuid code on Windows 64bits so that the x86 backend gets
enabled as expected and can populate CPU information.
Thanks to Robin Scher for reporting the problem.
* Add CPUVendor/CPUModelNumber/CPUFamilyNumber attributes when running
on x86 architecture. Thanks to Ralph Castain for the suggestion.
* Work around buggy BIOS reporting duplicate NUMA nodes on Linux.
Thanks to Jeff Becker for reporting the problem and testing the patch.
* Add a name to the lstopo graphical window. Thanks to Michael Prokop
for reporting the issue.
1.8.0:
* New components
+ Add the "linuxpci" component that always works on Linux even when
libpciaccess and libpci aren't available (and even with a modified
file-system root). By default the old "pci" component runs first
because "linuxpci" lacks device names (obj->name is always NULL).
* API
+ Add the topology difference API in hwloc/diff.h for manipulating
many similar topologies.
+ Add hwloc_topology_dup() for duplicating an entire topology.
+ hwloc.h and hwloc/helper.h have been reorganized to clarify the
documentation sections. The actual inline code has moved out of hwloc.h
into the new hwloc/inlines.h.
+ Deprecated functions are now in hwloc/deprecated.h, and not in the
official documentation anymore.
* Tools
+ Add hwloc-diff and hwloc-patch tools together with the new diff API.
+ Add hwloc-compress-dir to (de)compress an entire directory of XML files
using hwloc-diff and hwloc-patch.
+ Object colors in the graphical output of lstopo may be changed by adding
a "lstopoStyle" info attribute. See CUSTOM COLORS in the lstopo(1) manpage
for details. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for discussing the idea.
+ hwloc-gather-topology may now gather I/O-related files on Linux when
--io is given. Only the linuxpci component supports discovering I/O
objects from these extended tarballs.
+ hwloc-annotate now supports --ri to remove/replace info attributes with
a given name.
+ hwloc-info supports "root" and "all" special locations for dumping
information about the root object.
+ lstopo now supports --append-legend to append custom lines of text
to the legend in the graphical output. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for
discussing the idea.
+ hwloc-calc and friends have a more robust parsing of locations given
on the command-line and they report useful error messages about it.
+ Add --whole-system to hwloc-bind, hwloc-calc, hwloc-distances and
hwloc-distrib, and add --restrict to hwloc-bind for uniformity among
tools.
* Misc
+ Calling hwloc_topology_load() or hwloc_topology_set_*() on an already
loaded topology now returns an error (deprecated since release 1.6.1).
+ Fix the initialisation of cpusets and nodesets in Group objects added
when inserting PCI hostbridges.
+ Never merge Group objects that were added explicitly by the user with
hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent().
+ Add a sanity check during dynamic plugin loading to prevent some
crashes when hwloc is dynamically loaded by another plugin mechanisms.
+ Add --with-hwloc-plugins-path to specify the install/load directories
of plugins.
+ Add the MICSerialNumber info attribute to the root object when running
hwloc inside a Xeon Phi to match the same attribute in the MIC OS device
when running in the host.
1.7.2:
* Do not create invalid block OS devices on very old Linux kernel such
as RHEL4 2.6.9.
* Fix PCI subvendor/device IDs.
* Fix the management of Misc objects inserted by parent.
Thanks to Jirka Hladky for reporting the problem.
* Add a Port<n>State into attribute to OpenFabrics OS devices.
* Add a MICSerialNumber info attribute to Xeon PHI/MIC OS devices.
* Improve verbose error messages when failing to load from XML.
1.7.1:
* Fix a failed assertion in the distance grouping code when loading a XML
file that already contains some groups.
Thanks to Laercio Lima Pilla for reporting the problem.
* Remove unexpected Group objects when loading XML topologies with I/O
objects and NUMA distances.
Thanks to Elena Elkina for reporting the problem and testing patches.
* Fix PCI link speed discovery when using libpciaccess.
* Fix invalid libpciaccess virtual function device/vendor IDs when using
SR-IOV PCI devices on Linux.
* Fix GL component build with old NVCtrl releases.
Thanks to Jirka Hladky for reporting the problem.
* Fix embedding breakage caused by libltdl.
Thanks to Pavan Balaji for reporting the problem.
* Always use the system-wide libltdl instead of shipping one inside hwloc.
* Document issues when enabling plugins while embedding hwloc in another
project, in the documentation section Embedding hwloc in Other Software.
* Add a FAQ entry "How to get useful topology information on NetBSD?"
in the documentation.
* Somes fixes in the renaming code for embedding.
* Miscellaneous minor build fixes.
