+Author: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org>
+Date:   Wed Aug 27 22:20:33 2014 +0300
+
+    Revert "disable shared libs on sparc (linux/solaris) (fixes #8857)"
+    
+    This reverts commit 623883f1ed0ee11cc925c4590fb09565403fd231.
+    
+    The commit a93ab43ab5f40cadbedea2f6342b93c245e91434
+        driver: pass '-fPIC' option to assembler as well
+    fixes shared libraries on sparc at least on linux.
+    
+    Properly fixes Issue #8857

+Author: Sergei Trofimovich <siarheit@google.com>

+
+    powerpc: fix and enable shared libraries by default on linux
+    
+    Summary:
+    And fix things all the way down to it. Namely:
+        - remove 'r30' from free registers, it's an .LCTOC1 register
+          for gcc. generated .plt stubs expect it to be initialised.
+        - fix PicBase computation, which originally forgot to use 'tmp'
+          reg in 'initializePicBase_ppc.fetchPC'
+        - mark 'ForeighTarget's as implicitly using 'PicBase' register
+          (see comment for details)
+        - add 64-bit MO_Sub and test on alloclimit3/4 regtests
+        - fix dynamic label offsets to match with .LCTOC1 offset
+    
+    Signed-off-by: Sergei Trofimovich <siarheit@google.com>
+    
+    Test Plan: validate passes equal amount of vanilla/dyn tests

+    GhcMake: limit Capability count to CPU count in parallel mode
+    
+    In Trac #9221 one of problems using high --jobs=<N>
+    is amount of mutator (or GC) threads we crate.
+    
+    We use userspace spinning-and-yielding (see ACQUIRE_SPIN_LOCK)
+    to acess work stealing queues. In case of
+    N-worker-threads > N-CPUs fraction of time when
+    thread holding spin lock gets descheduled by kernel
+    increases. That causes other threads to waste CPU time
+    before giving up CPU.
+

+    ghc --make -j8 and -j80 have comparable sys time

+    rts: enable parallel GC scan of large (32M+) allocation area
+    
+    Parallel GC does not scan large allocation area (-A)
+    effectively as it does not do work stealing from nursery
+    by default.
+    
+    That leads to large imbalance when only one of threads
+    overflows allocation area: most of GC threads finish
+    quickly (as there is not much to collect) and sit idle
+    waiting while single GC thread finishes scan of single
+    allocation area for that thread.
+    
+    The patch enables work stealing for (equivalent of -qb0)
+    allocation area of -A32M or higher.
+    
+    Tested on a highlighting-kate package from Trac #9221
+    
+    On 8-core machine the difference is around 5% faster
+    of wall-clock time. On 24-core VM the speedup is 20%.

+    restore -fmax-worker-args handling (Trac #11565)
+    
+    maxWorkerArgs handling was accidentally lost 3 years ago
+    in a major update of demand analysis
+        commit 0831a12ea2fc73c33652eeec1adc79fa19700578
+    
+    Old regression is noticeable as:
+    - code bloat (requires stack reshuffling)
+    - compilation slowdown (more code to optimise/generate)
+    - and increased heap usage (DynFlags unboxing/reboxing?)
+    
+    On a simple compile benchmark this change causes heap
+    allocation drop from 70G don to 67G (ghc perf build).

++
++Current strategy is very simple: don't perform w/w transformation at all

++Currently we will remove all w/w ness entirely. But actually we could
++w/w on the (x,y) pair... it's the huge product that is the problem.
++
++Could we instead refrain from w/w on an arg-by-arg basis? Yes, that'd
++solve f. But we can get a lot of args from deeply-nested products:

++This is harder to spot on an arg-by-arg basis. Previously mkWwStr was
++given some "fuel" saying how many arguments it could add; when we ran
++out of fuel it would stop w/wing.
++Still not very clever because it had a left-right bias.

+Subject: [PATCH] Compute DW_FORM_block length correctly; also fixes #15068
+
+Before this patch, the pprUnwindwExpr function computed the length of
+by the following assembly fragment:
+
+	.uleb128 1f-.-1
+	<expression data>
+1:
+
+That is, to compute the length, it takes the difference of the label 1
+and the address of the .uleb128 directive, and subtracts 1.
+
+In #15068 it was reported that `as` from binutils 4.30 has trouble with
+evaluating the `.` part of the expression. However, there is actually a
+problem with the expression, if the length of the data ever becomes
+larger than 128: In that case, the .uleb128 directive will emit more
+than 1 byte, and the computed length will be wrong.
+
+The present patch changes the assembly fragment to use two labels,
+which fixes both these problems.
+
+	.uleb128 2f-1f

+	<expression data>

+Subject: [PATCH] compiler/cmm/PprC.hs: constify labels in .rodata
+
+Summary:
+Consider one-line module
+    module B (v) where v = "hello"
+in -fvia-C mode it generates code like
+    static char gibberish_str[] = "hello";
+
+It resides in data section (precious resource on ia64!).
+The patch switches genrator to emit:
+    static const char gibberish_str[] = "hello";
+
+Other types if symbols that gained 'const' qualifier are:
+
+- info tables (from haskell and CMM)
+- static reference tables (from haskell and CMM)
+
+Cleanups along the way:
+
+- fixed info tables defined in .cmm to reside in .rodata
+- split out closure declaration into 'IC_' / 'EC_'
+- added label declaration (based on label type) right before
+  each label definition (based on section type) so that C
+  compiler could check if declaration and definition matches
+  at definition site.

+    cross-build 'unlit' and 'hp2ps' for stage2 install
+    
+    In navive build case it does not matter much if we build
+    'unlit' and 'hp2ps' tools with ghc-stage0 or ghc-stage1:
+    both GHCs are native compilers and both tools are written
+    in C (have no haskell code).
+    
+    But in cross-case the difference is substantial:
+    In Stag1Only=YES case we need to install native tools built
+    by ghc-stage0/${host}-cc.
+    In Stag1Only=NO  case we need to install cross-built tools
+    built by ghc-stage1/${target}-cc.
+    
+    Before this change GHC did not have a rule to build cross-built
+    'unlit' and 'hp2ps'.
+    
+    The change adds cross-built 'unlit' and 'hp2ps' as 'dist-install'
+    targets.
+    
+    'inplace/lib/bin/unlit.bin' target is unchanged and still contains
+    native binary.
+    
+    As a result this change allows cross-building and packaging whole
+    GHC for target platform!

+    fix 'make install' for cross-stage2
+    
+    When cross-built GHC is being installed one of
+    latest steps is to register installed libraries
+    with 'ghc-pkg'.
+    
+    GHC uses freshly installed 'ghc-pkg' and 'ghc-stage2'
+    for that.
+    
+    Tested as:
+        ./configure --target=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
+        make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/__s2 STRIP_CMD=:
+    
+    Before the change install failed on ghc-pkg execution phase:
+    
+        ".../ghc-cross/__s2/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.3.20170406/bin/ghc-pkg" \
+            --force \
+            --global-package-db \
+            ".../ghc-cross/__s2/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.3.20170406/package.conf.d" \
+            update rts/dist/package.conf.install
+        /bin/sh: .../ghc-cross/__s2/usr/local/lib/ghc-8.3.20170406/bin/ghc-pkg: \
+            No such file or directory
+    
+    To avoid breakage we use 'ghc' and 'ghc-pkg' built by stage0.

+
+    avoid $(CrossCompilerPrefix) for stage2 install
+    
+    Suppose we are crossbuilding ghc (when ghc-stage2
+    is a normal compiler for $target):
+    
+    For this case 'make install' should install unprefixed
+    stage2 'ghc' and not '$(CorssCompilePrefix)-ghc'.
+    
+    That way cross-built ghc is installable and
+    usable on target as if it would be built natively
+    on a target.

+    config.mk.in: remove phase=0 hack for CrossCompilePrefix
+    
+    $(CrossCompilePrefix) is used only in 'make install'

+From c2303dff95aa174021a1950656fdf9a1cf983959 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org>
+Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2017 09:47:12 +0100
+Subject: [PATCH] aclocal.m4: allow arbitrary <vendor> string in toolchain
+ triplets
+
+Canonical triplets have a form of
+    <arch>-<vendor>-<os>[-<abi>]
+
+Checking for vendor is almost never correct as it's an
+arbitrary string.
+
+It's useful to have multiple "vendors" to denote
+otherwise the same (WRT <arch>, <os>, <abi>) target:
+    --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
+    --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+    --target=x86_64-ghc80-linux-gnu
+    --target=x86_64-ghchead-linux-gnu
+
+Do not fail unknown vendors. Only emit a warning.
+Ideally configure checks should never use "vendor".
+
