ABI revisions
| Revision | Purpose | libevl release |
|---|---|---|
| 32 | Extend the ungated event monitor interface (conjunctive/disjunctive wait on event mask, broadcasting). | r42 |
| 31 | EVL_HMDIAG_LKDEPEND is now sent to the thread which switches in-band while owning mutexes (no more to the waiter(s) sleeping on such mutex(es)). | r41 |
| 30 | Introduce the T_WOSO flag for enabling notification on schedule overrun. | r40 |
| 29 | Complete overhaul of the locking model to address basic ABBA issues in the mutex support code. This ABI release is marking a functional upgrade, not an interface change. | r39 |
| 28 | Report differentiated causes for interrupted wait on gated monitors from EVL_MONIOC_WAIT. | r37 |
| 27 | Handle prctl()-based syscall form. This enables Valgrind for EVL applications, while keeping backward compatibility for the legacy call form. | r28 |
| 26 | Add socket interface. | r21 |
| 25 | Add latmus request for measuring in-band response time to synthetic interrupt latency. | r21 |
| 24 | Add proxy read side. | r19 |
| 23 | Add the Observable element, and thread observability. | r17 |
| 22 | Add EVL_THRIOC_UNBLOCK, EVL_THRIOC_DEMOTE and EVL_THRIOC_YIELD, update EVL_THRIOC_*_MODE operations. | r16 |
| 21 | Introduce element visibility attribute | r15 |
| 20 | Add support for compat mode (32-bit exec over 64-bit kernel) | r12 |
| 19 | Make y2038 safe | r11 |

| 9 | Complete information returned by EVL_THRIOC_GET_STATE | - |
| 8 | Add query for CPU state | - |
| 7 | Drop time remainder return from EVL_CLKIOC_SLEEP | - |
| 6 | Enable fixed-size writes to proxy | - |
| 5 | Ensure latmus sends the ultimate bulk of results | - |
| 4 | Split per-thread debug mode flags | - |
| 3 | Add count of referrers to poll object shared state | - |

| 1 | Add protocol specifier to monitor element | - |
