Sun Aug 17 18:42:36 UTC 2014 - mardnh@gmx.de

- removed patches (fixed upstream)
   * hwloc-1.7-manpage.patch
   * hwloc-1.7.patch 

- Update to Version 1.9.0
  * API
    + Add hwloc_obj_type_sscanf() to extend hwloc_obj_type_of_string() with
      type-specific attributes such as Cache/Group depth and Cache type.
      hwloc_obj_type_of_string() is moved to hwloc/deprecated.h.
    + Add hwloc_linux_get_tid_last_cpu_location() for retrieving the
      last CPU where a Linux thread given by TID ran.
    + Add hwloc_distrib() to extend the old hwloc_distribute[v]() functions.
      hwloc_distribute[v]() is moved to hwloc/deprecated.h.
    + Don't mix total and local memory when displaying verbose object attributes
      with hwloc_obj_attr_snprintf() or in lstopo.
  * Backends
    + Add CPUVendor, CPUModelNumber and CPUFamilyNumber info attributes for
      x86, ia64 and Xeon Phi sockets on Linux, to extend the x86-specific
      support added in v1.8.1. Requested by Ralph Castain.
    + Add many CPU- and Platform-related info attributes on ARM and POWER
      platforms, in the Machine and Socket objects.
    + Add CUDA info attributes describing the number of multiprocessors and
      cores and the size of the global, shared and L2 cache memories in CUDA
      OS devices.
    + Add OpenCL info attributes describing the number of compute units and
      the global memory size in OpenCL OS devices.
    + The synthetic backend now accepts extended types such as L2Cache, L1i or
      Group3. lstopo also exports synthetic strings using these extended types.
  * Tools
    + lstopo
      - Do not overwrite output files by default anymore.
        Pass -f or --force to enforce it.
      - Display OpenCL, CUDA and Xeon Phi numbers of cores and memory sizes
        in the graphical output.
      - Fix export to stdout when specifying a Cairo-based output type
        with --of.
    + hwloc-ps
      - Add -e or --get-last-cpu-location to report where processes/threads
        run instead of where they are bound.
      - Report locations as likely-more-useful objects such as Cores or Sockets
        instead of Caches when possible.
    + hwloc-bind
      - Fix failure on Windows when not using --pid.
      - Add -e as a synonym to --get-last-cpu-location.
    + hwloc-distrib
      - Add --reverse to distribute using last objects first and singlify
        into last bits first. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for the suggestion.
    + hwloc-info
      - Report unified caches when looking for data or instruction cache
        ancestor objects.
  * Misc
    + Add experimental Visual Studio support under contrib/windows.
      Thanks to Eloi Gaudry for his help and for providing the first draft.
    + Fix some overzealous assertions and warnings about the ordering of
      objects on a level with respect to cpusets. The ordering is only
      guaranteed for complete cpusets (based on the first bit in sets).
    + Fix some memory leaks when importing xml diffs and when exporting a
      "too complex" entry.
  1.8.1:
  * Fix the cpuid code on Windows 64bits so that the x86 backend gets
    enabled as expected and can populate CPU information.
    Thanks to Robin Scher for reporting the problem.
  * Add CPUVendor/CPUModelNumber/CPUFamilyNumber attributes when running
    on x86 architecture. Thanks to Ralph Castain for the suggestion.
  * Work around buggy BIOS reporting duplicate NUMA nodes on Linux.
    Thanks to Jeff Becker for reporting the problem and testing the patch.
  * Add a name to the lstopo graphical window. Thanks to Michael Prokop
    for reporting the issue.
  1.8.0:
  * New components
    + Add the "linuxpci" component that always works on Linux even when
      libpciaccess and libpci aren't available (and even with a modified
      file-system root). By default the old "pci" component runs first
      because "linuxpci" lacks device names (obj->name is always NULL).
  * API
    + Add the topology difference API in hwloc/diff.h for manipulating
      many similar topologies.
    + Add hwloc_topology_dup() for duplicating an entire topology.
    + hwloc.h and hwloc/helper.h have been reorganized to clarify the
      documentation sections. The actual inline code has moved out of hwloc.h
      into the new hwloc/inlines.h.
    + Deprecated functions are now in hwloc/deprecated.h, and not in the
      official documentation anymore.
  * Tools
    + Add hwloc-diff and hwloc-patch tools together with the new diff API.
    + Add hwloc-compress-dir to (de)compress an entire directory of XML files
      using hwloc-diff and hwloc-patch.
    + Object colors in the graphical output of lstopo may be changed by adding
      a "lstopoStyle" info attribute. See CUSTOM COLORS in the lstopo(1) manpage
      for details. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for discussing the idea.
    + hwloc-gather-topology may now gather I/O-related files on Linux when
      --io is given. Only the linuxpci component supports discovering I/O
      objects from these extended tarballs.
    + hwloc-annotate now supports --ri to remove/replace info attributes with
      a given name.
    + hwloc-info supports "root" and "all" special locations for dumping
      information about the root object.
    + lstopo now supports --append-legend to append custom lines of text
      to the legend in the graphical output. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for
      discussing the idea.
    + hwloc-calc and friends have a more robust parsing of locations given
      on the command-line and they report useful error messages about it.
    + Add --whole-system to hwloc-bind, hwloc-calc, hwloc-distances and
      hwloc-distrib, and add --restrict to hwloc-bind for uniformity among
      tools.
  * Misc
    + Calling hwloc_topology_load() or hwloc_topology_set_*() on an already
      loaded topology now returns an error (deprecated since release 1.6.1).
    + Fix the initialisation of cpusets and nodesets in Group objects added
      when inserting PCI hostbridges.
    + Never merge Group objects that were added explicitly by the user with
      hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent().
    + Add a sanity check during dynamic plugin loading to prevent some
      crashes when hwloc is dynamically loaded by another plugin mechanisms.
    + Add --with-hwloc-plugins-path to specify the install/load directories
      of plugins.
    + Add the MICSerialNumber info attribute to the root object when running
      hwloc inside a Xeon Phi to match the same attribute in the MIC OS device
      when running in the host.
  1.7.2:
  * Do not create invalid block OS devices on very old Linux kernel such
    as RHEL4 2.6.9.
  * Fix PCI subvendor/device IDs.
  * Fix the management of Misc objects inserted by parent.
    Thanks to Jirka Hladky for reporting the problem.
  * Add a Port<n>State into attribute to OpenFabrics OS devices.
  * Add a MICSerialNumber info attribute to Xeon PHI/MIC OS devices.
  * Improve verbose error messages when failing to load from XML.
  1.7.1:
  * Fix a failed assertion in the distance grouping code when loading a XML
    file that already contains some groups.
    Thanks to Laercio Lima Pilla for reporting the problem.
  * Remove unexpected Group objects when loading XML topologies with I/O
    objects and NUMA distances.
    Thanks to Elena Elkina for reporting the problem and testing patches.
  * Fix PCI link speed discovery when using libpciaccess.
  * Fix invalid libpciaccess virtual function device/vendor IDs when using
    SR-IOV PCI devices on Linux.
  * Fix GL component build with old NVCtrl releases.
    Thanks to Jirka Hladky for reporting the problem.
  * Fix embedding breakage caused by libltdl.
    Thanks to Pavan Balaji for reporting the problem.
  * Always use the system-wide libltdl instead of shipping one inside hwloc.
  * Document issues when enabling plugins while embedding hwloc in another
    project, in the documentation section Embedding hwloc in Other Software.
  * Add a FAQ entry "How to get useful topology information on NetBSD?"
    in the documentation.
  * Somes fixes in the renaming code for embedding.
  * Miscellaneous minor build fixes.
