64-bit Userspace TODO

Listed here are the tasks required to complete a 64-bit userspace:

  • Select the required 64-bit dynamic relocations.

  • Implement the 64-bit relocations in linker.

  • Make sure gcc can use the new 64-bit linker to create libraries and binaries.

  • Implement a 64-bit glibc with the required 64-bit relocation processing.

  • Test it all…

Completed Tasks:

  • Binutils and the linker already support static 64-bit relocations.

  • Kernel support for 64-bit tasks and VMA.

Anyone wishing to work on these tasks should contact the parisc-linux list at http://lists.parisc-linux.org.
