[Lpc-announce] CLANG/GCC/GLIBC Toolchain Microconference Accepted into 2018 Linux Plumbers Conference

[Jake Edge]

The interaction between toolschain components such as GCC, GLIBC, and
CLANG/LLVM with the Linux kernel and with underlying hardware has
evolved rapidly. The corresponding communities continue to push on the
limits of what is possible, due to new silicon as well as the
performance and security changes of the past year.

Specific topics include support for control-flow enforcement
technologies (CET), loop-nest optimization flag changes, optimized
x86_64 math functions, unified API for new ports, emulation fallback
for system calls, handling deprecated kernel support (such as PowerPC
HTM support), building the Linux kernel with CLANG, and ARMv8.5
features.

If you would like to contribute to this discussion, please feel free to
contact Victor Rodriguez (vm.rod25atgmail.com), H.J. Lu
(hjl.toolsatgmail.com), Adhemerval Zanella
(adhemerval.zanellaatlinaro.org), David Edelsohn (dje.gccatgmail.com),
or Siddhesh Poyarekar (siddheshatgotplt.org).

LPC[1] will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from Tuesday,
November 13 through Thursday, November 15.

We hope to see you there!
