I missed this during the initial port. Some testing shows that
enabling this mode does, unsurprisingly, yield some nice speedups
on the math functions in question.
[BZ #17746]
The __builtin_expect() truncated a uint64_t to a 32-bit long
in ILP32 mode, discarding the high 32 bits, and potentially
missing the NUL terminator that we were searching for with SIMD
operations. Explicitly compare to zero to fix the problem.
The two_way_short_needle() routine included from str-two-way.h
is not used, so mark it so to avoid compiler warnings.
Calling strnlen() breaks linknamespace tests, so change it
to __strnlen().
Without this, on gcc 4.8.2 the built glibc crashes when memcpy
or memset are invoked, since they call themselves recursively.
See commit 85c2e6110c for the generic inhibit_loop_to_libcall.
This sets __HAVE_64B_ATOMICS if provided. It also sets
USE_ATOMIC_COMPILER_BUILTINS to true if the existing atomic ops use the
__atomic* builtins (aarch64, mips partially) or if this has been
tested (x86_64); otherwise, this is set to false so that C11 atomics will
be based on the existing atomic operations.
strnlen() is based on the existing tile strlen() with length
checking added. It speeds up by up to 5x, but on average across
the benchtest corpus by around 35%. No regressions are seen.
strstr() does 8-byte aligned loads and compares using a 2-byte
filter on the first two bytes of the needle and then testing
the remaining bytes in needle using memcmp(). It speeds up
about 5x in the best case (for "found" needles), about 2x looking
at benchtest as a whole, with some slowdowns as much as 45%.
on a few cases (including the "fail" case for 128KB search).
strcasestr() is based on strstr() but uses a SIMD tolower
routine to convert 8-bytes to lower case in 5 instructions.
It also uses a 2-byte filter and then strncasecmp() for the
remaining bytes. strncasecmp() is not optimized for SIMD, so
there is futher room for improvement. However, it is still up
to 16x faster for "found" needles, averaging 2x faster on the
whole corpus of benchtests. It does slow down by up to 35%
on a few cases, similarly to strstr().
Define MEMCPY_OK_FOR_FWD_MEMMOVE in memcopy.h and let arch-specific
implementations of that file override the value if necessary. This
override is only useful for tile and moving this macro to memcopy.h
allows us to remove the tile-specific memmove.c.
I've moved the TILE-Gx and TILEPro ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy,
along with the linux-generic ports infrastructure. Beyond the README
update, the move was just
git mv ports/sysdeps/tile sysdeps/tile
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile \
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic \
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic
I updated the relevant ChangeLogs along the lines of the ARM move
in commit c6bfe5c4d7 and tested the 64-bit tilegx build to confirm that
there were no changes in "objdump -dr" output in the shared objects.
