SubjectX32 project status update
From
Hi,

This is the x32 project status update:

https://sites.google.com/site/x32abi/

There are several changes:

1. We changed x32 kernel to use the 64bit filesystem interface (LFS) as well as
64bit time_t. We are targeting Linux kernel 3.3.
2. I backported x32 support to glibc 2.14, 2.13, 2.12 and 2.11. Since
glibc 2.11
is the first x32 release now, the x32 minimum ABI is changed from GLIBC_2.14
to GLIBC_2.11, which require recompiling all existing x32 binaries.
3. I am implementing address-size override:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50797

The result shows that it can improve SPEC CPU performance by another 5%
over the current x32 implementation. I am putting this on hjl/x32/addr32 branch
at

http://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=summary

I also backported it to GCC 4.6 on hjl/x32/gcc-4_6-branch branch.
