2020-05-19Expand a little on the time_t situation.Elliott Hughes
Since we last touched this file, the Linux kernel has added the missing API, but time has also moved on enough to make the cost/benefit unconvincing for Android. Bug: http://b/156317457 Test: treehugger Change-Id: I07fa678458ef10d15540b36ab65e0898d2fdadc6

2020-02-05docs/status.md: link to github.Elliott Hughes
We've had discussions about <monetary.h> (which wasn't previously mentioned here at all, an oversight) and robust mutexes on github that are worth linking to. Bug: https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1181 Bug: https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1182 Test: N/A Change-Id: If0d2c28757a3cbfffc358e8847dc4de1a67d9001

2019-10-17Updated memory_replay description.Christopher Ferris
The description of memory_replay talks about unzippping the trace files, but this is no longer necessary. This language has been updated to reflect this. Test: NA Change-Id: Id808f9bd1286284c8de12b19c08eb8677c76dd53

2019-08-07Change all references to PSS to RSS.Christopher Ferris
RSS is the real measurement by which an allocator should be measured since RSS is the real memory consumed by the process. PSS is a shared value. For memory_replay, PSS and RSS should be the same, so this didn't really matter in practice, but it's better to use the correct name of RSS. Also, add a small section about fragmentation.

2019-08-05Add memfd_create(2) and mlock2(2).Elliott Hughes

2019-06-27Fix usage of () and [].Christopher Ferris
The usage was reversed, [] is used for the name and () is used for the link destination. Test: NA Change-Id: I07bf8645a888d5690d6c3d58edc3899b3e287df4
2019-04-24threads.h: Add C11 thread support.Elliott Hughes
FreeBSD, glibc, and musl have all implemented C11 threads at this point. POSIX is looking at how to align with it. Probably time to jump on the bandwagon ourselves... Implemented in the same style as <termios.h> so we can provide this functionality even on older API levels. This does mean that this is strictly more expensive than calling pthread functions directly. Although this isn't in POSIX yet, assume that it's going to be basically the same as C11 and add the header test anyway. We should revisit this when POSIX actually adds <threads.h>. Test: new tests Change-Id: I8602d67ce71ca7f8ed1529daa0a8ea1feb083dd6
2019-03-26strptime: support everything that strftime supports.Elliott Hughes
Our strptime was missing `%F`, `%G`, `%g`, `%P`, `%u`, `%V`, and `%v`. Most of these are already supported upstream (and I've just pulled their current implementation), but some aren't. We're horribly out of sync anyway, so I'll upstream the missing pieces and then try to get us back in sync later. Test: new tests, but originally found by toybox trying to use %F Change-Id: Ib1a10801a7a3b9c9189440c3b300109bde535fd9

2019-03-01Make aligned_alloc match the standard.Christopher Ferris
Jemalloc does not verify that the size parameter is a multiple of alignment. Fix this since it only went into P. Fix the unit tests, and fix malloc debug/malloc hooks to handle this new restrictive behavior. Bug: 126944692 Test: Ran bionic unit tests. Test: Ran bionic unit tests with malloc hooks enabled (no new tests fail). Test: Ran bionic unit tests with malloc debug enabled (no new tests fail). Test: Ran malloc debug unit tests.

2018-09-05Document various post-P bionic changes.Elliott Hughes
Historically we haven't documented many behavioral changes, but it's probably useful to record that information before it's lost (even if, long term, it might be more useful in the man pages or the doc comments). Bug: N/A Test: N/A Change-Id: Iaa4f651fd6576298d848894b61285ef95879deb9
