[arch-dev-public] [signoff] m4-1.4.12-1
by Andreas Radke 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

please test and signoff this minor update. -Andy * Noteworthy changes in Version 1.4.12 (2008-10-10) [stable] Released by Eric Blake, based on git version 1.4.11.* ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.4b where using `traceon' could delete a macro. This was most noticeable with `traceon(`traceon')', but would also happen in cases such as `foo(traceon(`foo'))'. ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.7 where `m4 -N9' died with an assertion failure. ** Fix regression introduced in 1.4.11 where `defn' died with an assertion failure on a traced but undefined macro. ** New `-g'/`--gnu' command-line option overrides `-G'/`--traditional'. For now, the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT has no effect on M4 behavior; but a future release of M4 will behave as though --traditional is implied if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set (this future change is necessary, because in the current release, there is no way to disable GNU extensions that conflict with POSIX without the use of a non-POSIX command-line argument). Clients of M4 that want to use GNU extensions, even when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, should start using the -g command-line argument, even though it is currently a no-op if -G did not appear earlier in the command line, so that the client will not break in the face of an upgraded m4 and a POSIXLY_CORRECT execution environment. ** The `-L'/`--nesting-limit' command-line option now defaults to 0 for unlimited on platforms that can detect and deal with stack overflow. On systems that lack alternate stack support, such as Cygwin, and on systems that do not obey the POSIX semantics for distinguishing stack overflow from other exceptions, such as Linux, you can optionally install the libsigsegv library (version 2.6 or newer recommended) to enhance m4's ability to accurately report stack overflow: http://www.gnu.org/software/libsigsegv/ ** A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib.

[arch-dev-public] New package: irqbalance
by Dan McGee 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Does anyone have any comments on pulling a new package into our repos (extra)? irqbalance: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10804 http://www.irqbalance.org/ What is irqbalance? irqbalance is a Linux* daemon that distributes interrupts over the processors and cores you have in your computer system. The design goal of irqbalance is to do find a balance between power savings and optimal performance. To a large degree, the work irqbalance does is invisible to you; if irqbalance performs its job right, nobody will ever notice it's there or want to turn it off. I was poking around gerolde today and noticed the following, which this daemon is supposed to fix: $ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 0: 167 0 0 24048 IO-APIC-edge timer 34: 0 0 0 1557024287 IO-APIC-fasteoi ioc0 64: 0 0 0 2309314931 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 LOC: 1044939304 862822858 922819431 1061796506 Local timer interrupts RES: 47509379 41864565 96191013 60946968 Rescheduling interrupts CAL: 28955 30778 32683 31325 function call interrupts TLB: 42452901 45130904 34918196 34859372 TLB shootdowns Notice how CPU3 is handling every single hardware interrupt on our system, and we have a LOT of them from our disk and ethernet controllers. Balancing some of this across processors should help, and this program takes care of that. I've been running it locally on my machine and it seems to work as advertised. -Dan
