It should work on x86 32/64 and PowerPC. Website URL: http://lttng.org/urcu What is userspace RCU: liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiples copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after which memory reclamation is possible. Direct link to the package: http://www.lttng.org/files/urcu/userspace-rcu-0.1.tar.gz There is partial support for s390 at the moment, but some atomic primitives are currently missing for this architecture, so don't expect the s390 architecture to build in this version. Please let me know if you face any problems using it. As always, feedback and patches are very welcome. See the packaged README file for details.
