The bits/libc-lock.h and bits/stdio-lock.h headers are installed, but
not used by any other installed header.
Accordingly, this patch stops these headers from being installed. A
followup is intended to move these headers out of the bits/ namespace.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* Makefile (headers): Remove bits/libc-lock.h.
* libio/Makefile (headers): Remove bits/stdio-lock.h.
Every so often someone gets confused by the fact that the installed
<bits/stdio-lock.h> header includes the non-installed <lowlevellock.h>
header.
This inclusion is not in fact a bug, because <bits/stdio-lock.h> only
gets included by any header that users should include directly if
_IO_MTSAFE_IO is defined, and that's an internal define used when
building libio, not a feature test macro it's valid for users to
define. However, on general principles it's best to have as little as
possible in the installed headers that is inapplicable for valid uses
of the installed glibc.
This patch moves the include of <bits/stdio-lock.h> to the internal
header include/libio.h, so that even if someone defines _IO_MTSAFE_IO
it won't get included. This is intended as preparation for stopping
<bits/stdio-lock.h> and <bits/libc-lock.h> from being installed at all
(after this patch they aren't used in any installed header; formally
of course they don't need to be installed even before this patch, but
stopping them being installed before removing the #include would just
exacerbate the confusion described above), and then moving those out
of the bits/ namespace in accordance with the principle that that
namespace is only for installed headers.
The tests scanf15.c and scanf17.c avoid the internal headers; after
this patch that means they need to undefine _IO_MTSAFE_IO as well as
_LIBC so as to get a working _IO_lock_t definition for libio.h. This
brings them closer to using the headers as an installed program would,
which clearly accords with the intent of those tests.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).

This patch adds new constants from Linux 4.2 to netinet/in.h:
IPPROTO_MPLS and IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT (both in
include/uapi/linux/in.h in Linux; one directly in netinet/in.h, one in
bits/in.h in glibc).

previously noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-06/msg00938.html> that this
header was out of date in glibc).

The fix for BZ #17273 introduced a single byte of memory corruption when
the line is entirely blank. It would walk back past the start of the
buffer if the heap happened to be 0x20 or 0x09 and then write a NUL byte.
buffer = '\n';
end_ptr = buffer;
while (end_ptr[-1] == ' ' || end_ptr[-1] == '\t')
end_ptr--;
*end_ptr = '\0';
Fix that and rework the tests. Adding the testcase for BZ #17273 to the
existing \040 parser does not really make sense as it's unrelated, and
leads to confusing behavior: it implicitly relies on the new entry being
longer than the previous entry (since it just rewinds the FILE*). Split
it out into its own dedicated testcase instead.
strptime's %z specifier parses a string consisting of a sign ('+'
or '-'), two hours digits, and optionally two minutes digits, into a
tm.tm_gmtoff field containing the signed number of seconds the time
zone is offset from UTC time.
The time/tst-strptime2.c program passes a short list of strings through
strptime, validating that either the gmtoff value returned matches an
expected value, or that strptime returns an expected NULL for invalid
strings (for example, when the minutes portion of the string is outside
of the range 00 to 59, or the sign is missing before the hours digits).
In review of strptime fixes, Carlos O'Donell expressed a wish that
the test function iterate through the entire range of all possible
numeric strings (-9999 to +9999) which could be passed to strptime %z,
and validate the correct response.
Specifically, the test will look for a NULL response from strptime
when:
* sign ('+' or '-') is not present before the first digit (invalid
format).
* A sign and no digits are found (invalid format).
* A sign and one digit are found (invalid format).
* A sign and three digits are found (invalid format).
* A sign and four digits (-9999 to +9999) are found but the last
two digits (minutes) are in the range 60 to 99.
The test will look for a success response from strptime with
tm.tm_gmtoff matching the calculated tm_gmtoff value when:
* A sign and four digits are found (-9999 to +9999), and the last
two digits (minutes) are in the range 00 to 59.
* A sign and two digit strings are found (-99 to +99).
The test's iteration over the possible digit values results in 22223
test strings prepared, tested, and passed by strptime.
The test supports a --verbose command line option which will show
the test results of every test input, and a final summary of all
tests. Here is some sample output:

Any failing test will result in printing the failed line to stdout, and
will trigger the printing of the summary line at the of all tests. For
example:

got: valid, tm.tm_gmtoff 37800
FAIL: 22223 input strings: 1 fail, 22222 pass
Topic: strptime supports a %z input field descriptor, which parses a
time zone offset from UTC time into the broken-out time field tm_gmtoff.
Problems:
1) In the current implementation, the minutes portion calculation is
correct only for minutes evenly divisible by 3. This is because the
minutes value is converted to decimal time, but inadequate precision
leads to rounding which calculates results that are too low for
some values.
For example, due to rounding, a +1159 offset string results in an
incorrect tm_gmtoff of 43128 (== 11 * 3600 + 58.8 * 60) seconds,
instead of 43140 (== 11 * 3600 + 59 * 60) seconds. In contrast,
a +1157 offset (minutes divisible by 3) does not cause the bug,
and results in a correct tm_gmtoff of 43020.
2) strptime's %z specifier will not parse time offsets less than
-1200 or greater than +1200, or if only hour digits are present, less
than -12 or greater than +12. It will return NULL for offsets outside
that range. These limits do not meet historical and modern use cases:
* Present day exceeds the +1200 limit:
- Pacific/Auckland (New Zealand) summer time is +1300.
- Pacific/Kiritimati (Christmas Island) is +1400.
- Pacific/Apia (Samoa) summer time is +1400.
* Historical offsets exceeded +1500/-1500.
* POSIX supports -2459 to +2559.
* Offsets up to +/-9959 may occasionally be useful.
* Paul Eggert's notes provide additional detail:
- https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-12/msg00068.html
- https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-12/msg00072.html
3) tst-strptime2, part of the 'make check' test suite, does not test
for the above problems.
Corrective actions:
1) In time/strptime_l.c, calculate the offset from the hour and
minute portions directly, without the rounding errors introduced by
decimal time.
2) Remove the +/-1200 range limit, permitting strptime to parse offsets
from -9959 through +9959.
3) Add zone offset values to time/tst-strptime2.c.
* Test minutes evenly divisible by three (+1157) and not evenly
divisible by three (+1158 and +1159).
* Test offsets near the old and new range limits (-1201, -1330, -2459,
-2500, -99, -9959, +1201, +1330, +1400, +1401, +2559, +2600, +99,
and +9959)
The revised strptime passes all old and new tst-strptime2 tests.
This patch fixes the default wordsize-32 mmap implementation offset
calculation for negative values. Current code uses signed shift
operation to calculate the multiple size to use with syscall and
it is implementation defined. Change it to use a division base
on mmap page size (default being as before, 4096).
Tested on armv7hf.

We detect i586 and i686 features at run-time by checking CX8 and CMOV
CPUID features bits. We can use these information to select the best
implementation in ix86 multiarch. HAS_I586/HAS_I686 is true if i586/i686
instructions are available on the processor.
Due to the reordering and the other nifty extensions in i686, it is not
really good to use heavily i586 optimized code on an i686. It's better
to use i486 code if it isn't an i586. USE_I586/USE_I686 is true if
i586/i686 implementation should be used for the processor. USE_I586
is true only if i686 instructions aren't available. If i686 instructions
are available, we always choose i686 or i486 implementation, in that order,
and we never choose i586 implementation for i686-class processors.

Building glibc on s390-32 with gcc option -mzarch produces the error due to
sysdeps/s390/jmpbuf-unwind.h:37:10: (void *) (_Unwind_GetCFA (_context):
cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
Building on s390-32 in esa-mode or s390-64 is fine.
_Unwind_GetCFA returns an _Unwind_Word which is an unsigned
with a size of 4 bytes on s390-32 (esa-mode) and 8 bytes on s390-64.
On s390-32 (zarch-mode), _Unwind_Word has a size of 8 bytes, too.
_Unwind_Word is defined in sysdeps/generic/unwind.h as
typedef unsigned _Unwind_Word __attribute__((__mode__(__word__)));
In libgcc unwind header (<gcc-src>/libgcc/unwind-generic.h) this typedef has
changed to "typedef unsigned _Unwind_Word __attribute__((__mode__(__unwind_word__)));"
in June 2008.
With this mode, _Unwind_Word has a size of 4 bytes on s390-32 (zarch-mode).
The same change applies to _Unwind_Sword.
Thus this patch updates the unwind header according to these changes.
Afterwards, the int-to-pointer-cast-warning is gone away on s390-32 (zarch-mode)
and the testsuite runs with the same test-failures as s390-32 (esa-mode)
plus FAIL: c++-types-check. Here register_t is expected to has a size of 4 bytes,
but it has a size of 8 bytes due to:
posix/sys/types.h:205:typedef int register_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (__word__)));

"[PATCH, spu, unwind] Remove attribute ((mode (word))) from unwind.h"
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-06/msg00969.html
ChangeLog:

(_Unwind_Sword): Likewise.
This patch fixes the build error with gcc6:
array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
While including loop.c to construct the SINGLE(LOOPFCT) method
for converting from UTF-16 to UTF-8, the bytebuf array with length
MAX_NEEDED_INPUT is used as inptr. MAX_NEEDED_INPUT defaults to

Thus bytebuf has a length of 2.
This patch defines MAX_NEEDED_INPUT to MAX_NEEDED_TO, which is 4.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/s390/s390-64/utf8-utf16-z9.c

This patch set introduces optimized string, wcsmbs and memory functions for
S390/S390x. The functions are accelerated by the usage of the new z13 vector
instructions.
The Principles of Operations manual for IBM z13 is publically available:
http://publibfi.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/dz9zr010.pdf
The support for these instructions in assembler was introduced by commits:
-"[Committed] S/390: Add support for IBM z13."
(https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-01/msg00197.html)
-"[Committed] S/390: Add more IBM z13 instructions"
(https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-03/msg00088.html)
The first patches do preparation for the latter optimization patches.
The floating point exception handling - fetestexcept(), ... - is fixed and
the platform and hwcap strings are extended.
The current ifunc routines memset, memcpy and memcmp are refactored and the
ifunc test-framework is now enabled.
A S390 specific configure-check tests if the used binutils supports the new
vector instructions. The optimized functions are provided via ifunc if the
binutils supports the vector instructions. Otherwise a message is dumped to
configure output and only the currently used common code functions are
available.
The optimized functions are implemented in common for s390-32 and s390-64
and the few differences are handled via #ifdef.
The ifunc-resolvers are defined in files sysdeps/s390/multiarch/<func>.c,
which choose either the current implementation __<func>_c() or the vector
implementation __<func>_vx() depending on the HWCAP_S390_VX flag bit in
AT_HWCAP field. If the bit is set, the hardware and the kernel are supporting
vector registers and instructions. If the used binutils lacks vector-support,
then the default implementation in string or wcsmbs directory is included
here instead.
The file sysdeps/s390/multiarch/<func>-c.c includes the current implementation
and defines the function name __<func>_c.
The assembler files sysdeps/s390/multiarch/<func>-vx.S with the vector
instructions are using the directive '.machine "z13"' to allow building glibc
without option '-march=z13'. Additionally the directive '.machinemode
"zarch_nohighgprs"' is needed for the 31bit glibc. This mode does not set the
highgprs flag in ELF header, which would lead to an unloadable libc on a 31bit
kernel.
The most optimized string functions are structured in the same way:
The first 16 bytes of the string is loaded unaligned via vlbb - vector load
to block boundary (e.g. 4k). This instruction loads 16 bytes if possible.
In case of a page cross, it only loads the last bytes of the current page
without a segmentation fault.
Afterwards these first part of string is processed. If e.g. for strlen the end
of string is reached within this first part, the function returns. Otherwise
the pointer is aligned to 16 byte, so i can load a full vector register with vl
without checking for a page cross. Afterwards the first part of string is
processed. If e.g. for strlen the end of string is reached within this first
part, the function returns. Otherwise the pointer is aligned to 16 byte, so
a full vector register can be loaded with vl - vector load - without checking
for a page cross. The remaining string is processed in a four times unrolled
loop, because benchmark results measured improvements compared to a non
unrolled loop.
The optimized wide string functions can only handle 4byte aligned string
pointers. Although a wchar_t pointer should always be 4byte aligned, the most
current common code wide string functions can handle non aligned strings.
Thus the optimized functions will fall back to the common code functions in
case of a non aligned wide string to behave the same as before this patch.
Some string tests can test the string and the wide string version of a function.
The remaining ones are extended and new wide string tests are added.
This is the same in case of the benchtests.
