I find it extremely unlikely that many well-thought-out extensions would be appropriate for GNU systems using the Linux kernel but not for GNU systems using Hurd or other kernels - the only such cases would be for things very closely related to kernel functionality. There is a strong presumption that toolchain configuration should apply to all GNU systems rather than being specific to GNU/Linux without good reason. -- Joseph S.

Linux ABI group is the place where we propose > extensions before they get implemented. How to implement, according to me, is design details of a particular product. It also depends on the language used to develop the product. Standards, in most cases, are not tied to a language and hence do not enforce implementation details. For instance, the document "ELF Handling of Thread Local Storage" is a technical whitepaper that encourages a way of implementation. It is not an official extension. I meant, use LSB mailing lists for proposals and after implementation, update the LSB for all future references. If there is a need to show implementation details, it should be a separate document. My suggestion is to create something for all (entire Linux and not just ABI) and make the ABI part of it. So as per your description of LSB, we need a namespace something like LSB-Draft where entire Linux community can discuss proposals and ABI is part of it. Also, another namespace within LSB that holds documents showing example implementations. As we see through this discussion, there are many mailing lists and groups with lot of overlaps. I think we have to prevent more such fragmentation. These are the thoughts I had. Bottom line is that, a standard is always welcome. It is beneficial to all across industry. -- Supra ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 47+ messages in thread

Linux ABI? linus already suggested this in even 1990's releases: warning: do not share your kernel headers with applications, they might abuse it and anyway software relying on it would break soon (be a waste of time) when new releases released i just noticed myself the BEST PROTECTION against the need of ABI: is a kernel that has abi inside and offers fast exported features on "well known unix interfaces" to what otherwise would make software "machine dependant, fallible, and short lived" ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 47+ messages in thread

(I suddenly see the subject changed to gnu-gabi from linux-abi. If I missed any e-mail in the transition, my apologies.) Why should it re-describe or repeat what already exists in LSB. For instance, the Exception Handling Framework? http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/ehframechpt.html I understand that the forum (an exclusive gABI discussion group) is not there in LSB. That matches with what you have created. But the resulting standards document is already there in LSB. Am I missing anything very obvious?

Even I would like to agree to it, but after clearing some of the conflicting points I have. 1. The LinuxFoundation.Org and hence the "Linux" Standard Base has been created for "Linux, the platform" and not "Linux, the kernel". Am I right? If I am right, why not make ourse;ves part of the foundation and hence standards? Its one big central place. 2. As I know, and also as H.J. mentioned, some of the extensions may involve the kernel eventually. Those may not be immediately under discussion in this thread. Even I have a couple of things (regarding non-volatile memory or special memory area) and it may involves kernel. But these may not be yet mature for a wider-audience discussion. But targeted for "Linux, the platform".

The x32, x86-64, IA-64, IA-32, SYS-V gABI, are all on google groups. Am I right? If I am right, then this Linux-ABI also looks good uder google groups I think. But this can be anything. Not of a major concern I believe. Based on my understanding, to summarize: Discussions or groups can be anywhere. But the resulting standards/documents should be part of LSB.

The extensions in question are generally part of GNU, the platform (including GNU with other kernels), not just GNU/Linux.

I think that none of the ABI extensions in question are anything to do with Linux, the kernel. Rather, they are ABI extensions for userspace in the GNU system, which apply the same under multiple kernels (but some of them may well not apply to Android systems using the Linux kernel, for example, if the Bionic C library and dynamic linker lack the relevant features). Thus it would be more appropriate for a mailing list to be hosted on sourceware or Savannah, and for any resulting documents to refer to GNU, not to Linux. -- Joseph S.

For elfutils we try to follow the various GNU gabi, ELF and DWARF extensions. Most extensions are independent of the linux kernel, and also work with kfreebsd or hurd (both of which have a Debian elfutils port). Having a central place to ask for clarifications and document these extensions would be great. We do maintain a list of GNU DWARF extensions: https://fedorahosted.org/elfutils/wiki/DwarfExtensions But don't have a good list of GNU gabi/ELF extensions. If we could ask overseers to setup a new group/list gnu-gabi on sourceware where binutils, gcc, gdb, glibc and other interested parties could join to maintain these extensions and ask for clarifications that would be wonderful. I am not a big fan of google groups mailinglists, they seem to make it hard to subscribe and don't have easy to access archives. Having a local gnu-gabi group on sourceware.org would be better IMHO.

Please don't spread false information. Anyone can subscribe Linux-ABI group and its archive is to open to everyone. You don't need a gmail account for any of those.

It should be possible to subscribe to the list by sending an empty email message to <linux-abi+subscribe@googlegroups.com>. At least it works for me, and I currently should not have a Google account associated with that email address.

Please don't spread false information. Anyone can subscribe Linux-ABI group and its archive is to open to everyone. You don't need a gmail account for any of those. There are quite a few non-gmail users. You don't have to take my word for it. I can add your email to Linux-ABI group and you can check it out yourself :-). That is true. But given the preferences expressed by so many interested parties, would you please consider creating a gnu-gabi mailing list in either sourceware or savannah? For one, I would greatly appreciate it :) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 47+ messages in thread

Maybe it's not because of the account, whose lack prevents me from even complaining to Google about being abusively subscribed to lists I don't want to be in (nothing to do with the one you proposed, mind you); it could be because I refuse to run proprietary Javascript on my browser, or because I reject cookies and use Tor, and so Google requires me to solve a CAPTCHA that I can't even see before it might or might not grant me access to the archives. Who knows? The important question is Why should we collective choose that over what we're already using and that's aligned with the interests of our community? -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist|Red Hat Brasil GNU Toolchain Engineer ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 47+ messages in thread

As we've seen with the fallout from the abi_tag attribute we need better communication between groups in the free software tool chain world, not more fragmentation. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 47+ messages in thread

Some of them are even useful outside GNU systems. Some others choices in recent years are at least somewhat questionable and a broader audience in the design would likely have made the design much more useful (i.e. the GNU hash format).
