TEST_IFUNC is only tested in two headers, bench-string.h and
test-string.h, after it gets defined by those headers, and it never
gets undefined.
Thus no defines of TEST_IFUNC are needed, and the *-ifunc.c tests that
just define TEST_IFUNC and include other tests are also redundant, as
is the code to remove $(tests-ifunc) and $(xtests-ifunc) conditionally
from tests and xtests. This patch removes the useless defines and
tests of TEST_IFUNC and the associated useless tests and makefile
code. It thereby fixes a series of warnings
"../string/test-string.h:21:0: warning: "TEST_IFUNC" redefined" where
test-string.h defines TEST_IFUNC to empty, other files define it to 1
and this produces warnings.
Tested for x86_64.

Add a microbenchmark for measuring malloc and free performance with
varying numbers of threads. The benchmark allocates and frees buffers
of random sizes in a random order and measures the overall execution
time and RSS. Variants of the benchmark are run with 1, 8, 16 and
32 threads.
The random block sizes used follow an inverse square distribution
which is intended to mimic the behaviour of real applications which
tend to allocate many more small blocks than large ones.

* benchtests/Makefile: (bench-malloc): Add malloc thread
scalability benchmark.
* benchtests/bench-malloc-threads.c: New file.
This patch adds an optimized memset implementation for POWER8. For
sizes from 0 to 255 bytes, a word/doubleword algorithm similar to
POWER7 optimized one is used.
For size higher than 255 two strategies are used:
1. If the constant is different than 0, the memory is written with
altivec vector instruction;
2. If constant is 0, dbcz instructions are used. The loop is unrolled
to clear 512 byte at time.
Using vector instructions increases throughput considerable, with a
double performance for sizes larger than 1024. The dcbz loops unrolls
also shows performance improvement, by doubling throughput for sizes
larger than 8192 bytes.
One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing,
as noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the
requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of
environment variables from the build system to the system running the
glibc under test. Although some variables are passed explicitly via
$(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be
passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build
system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including
variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect
the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects
not breaking the wrappers). In addition, the code in
cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it
depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could
well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents
contain things looking like other variable definitions).
This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via
$(test-wrapper-env). Makefile variables that previously used
$(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts
that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in
testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between
the two parts.
The common default environment settings in make-test-out are made into
a separate makefile variable that can also be passed to scripts,
rather than many scripts duplicating those settings (for testing an
installed glibc, it is desirable to have the GCONV_PATH setting on
just one place, so just that one place needs to support it pointing to
an installed sysroot instead of the build tree). The default settings
are included in the variables such as $(test-program-prefix), so that
if tests do not need any non-default settings they can continue to use
single variables rather than the split-up variables.
Although this patch cleans up LC_ALL=C settings (that being part of
the common defaults), various LANG=C and LANGUAGE=C settings remain.
Those are generally unnecessary and I propose a subsequent cleanup to
remove them. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, and while LANGUAGE
takes precedence over LC_ALL, it only does so for settings other than
LC_ALL=C. So LC_ALL=C on its own is sufficient to ensure the C
locale, and anything that gets LC_ALL=C does not need the other
settings.
While preparing this patch I noticed some tests with .sh files that
appeared to do nothing beyond what the generic makefile support for
tests can do (localedata/tst-wctype.sh - the makefiles support -ENV
variables and .input files - and localedata/tst-mbswcs.sh - just runs
five tests that could be run individually from the makefile). So I
propose another subsequent cleanup to move those to using the generic
support instead of special .sh files.
Tested x86_64 (native) and powerpc32 (cross).

Add a new 'init' directive that specifies the name of the function to
call to do function-specific initialization. This is useful for
benchmarks that need to do a one-time initialization before the
functions are executed.
glibc's Makeconfig defines some variables such as $(libm) and $(libdl)
for linking with libraries built by glibc, and nptl/Makeconfig
(included by the toplevel Makeconfig) defines others such as
$(shared-thread-library).
In some places glibc's Makefiles use those variables when linking
against the relevant libraries, but in other places they hardcode the
location of the libraries in the build tree. This patch cleans up
various places to use the variables that already exist (in the case of
libm, replacing several duplicate definitions of a $(link-libm)
variable in subdirectory Makefiles). (It's not necessarily exactly
equivalent to what the existing code does - in particular,
$(shared-thread-library) includes libpthread_nonshared, but is
replacing places that just referred to libpthread.so. But I think
that change is desirable on the general principle of linking things as
close as possible to the way in which they would be linked with an
installed library, unless there is a clear reason not to do so.)
To support running tests with an installed copy of glibc without
needing the full build tree from when that copy was built, I think it
will be useful to use such variables more generally and systematically
- every time the rules for building a test refer to some file from the
build tree that's also installed by glibc, use a makefile variable so
that the installed-testing case can point those variables to installed
copies of the files. This patch just deals with straightforward cases
where such variables already exist.
It's quite possible some uses of $(shared-thread-library) should
actually be a new $(thread-library) variable that's set appropriately
in the --disable-shared case, if those uses would in fact work without
shared libraries. I didn't change the status quo that those cases
hardcode use of a shared library whether or not it's actually needed
(but other uses such as $(libm) and $(libdl) would now get the static
library if the shared library isn't built, when some previously
hardcoded use of the shared library - if they actually need shared
libraries, the test itself needs an enable-shared conditional anyway).

Using -lm and -lpthread results in the shared objects in the system
being used to link against. This happened to work for libm because
there haven't been any changes to the libm ABI recently that could
break the existing benchmarks. This doesn't always work for the
pthread benchmarks. The correct way to build against libraries in the
build directory is to have the binaries explicitly depend on them so
that $(+link) can pick them up.
Add a small library to print JSON values and use it to improve the
readability of the benchmark output and the readability of the
benchmark code.

We have a single thread that runs a no-op initialization once and then
repeatedly runs checks of the initialization (i.e., an acquire load and
conditional jump) in a tight loop. This gives us, on average, the
best-case latency of pthread_once (the initialization is the
exactly-once slow path, and we're not looking at initialization-related
synchronization overheads in this case).
Without this flag it is possible that the compiler will optimize
away the calls to ffs/ffsll.

This patch adds an option to get detailed benchmark output for
functions. Invoking the benchmark with 'make DETAILED=1 bench' causes
each benchmark program to store a mean execution time for each input
it works on. This is useful to give a more comprehensive picture of
performance of functions compared to just the single mean figure.
This patch changes the output format of the main benchmark output file
(bench.out) to an extensible format. I chose JSON over XML because in
addition to being extensible, it is also not too verbose.
Additionally it has good support in python.
The significant change I have made in terms of functionality is to put
timing information as an attribute in JSON instead of a string and to
do that, there is a separate program that prints out a JSON snippet
mentioning the type of timing (hp_timing or clock_gettime). The mean
timing has now changed from iterations per unit to actual timing per
iteration.
This benchmark can take longer than the default 2 seconds on slower
platforms, so increase it to 10 seconds.

* benchtests/bench-strtod.c (TIMEOUT): Define to 10.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.

Add a comprehensive number of inputs for all branches in sin and cos
computation, excluding the fast paths. This also adds a number of
inputs for the multiple precision slow paths.
Add a more comprehensive set of inputs for the atan function. I have
also fixed the name on the multiple precision fallback inputs (I
couldn't find any new inputs there) to reflect the fact that the
fallback is only 144bits and not 768bits as I had earlier mentioned.
Like sinh and cosh, this patch has benchmark inputs for asinh and
acosh, generated using a random number generator and spread over
significant branches, ignoring the fast return paths.
Add a full set of inputs for sinh and cosh functions generated using a
random number generator and spreading it over all branches in the
function, ignoring the fast paths (i.e. immediate return for special
values).
This patch adds the ability to accept output arguments to functions
being benchmarked, by nesting the argument type in <> in the args
directive. It includes the sincos implementation as an example, where
the function would have the following args directive:
## args: double:<double *>:<double *>
This simply adds a definition for a static variable whose pointer gets
passed into the function, so it's not yet possible to pass something
more complicated like a pre-allocated string or array. That would be
a good feature to add if a function needs it.
The values in the input file will map only to the input arguments. So
if I had a directive like this for a function foo:
## args: int:<int *>:int:<int *>
and I have a value list like this:
1, 2
3, 4
5, 6
then the function calls generated would be:
foo (1, &out1, 2, &out2);
foo (3, &out1, 4, &out2);
foo (5, &out1, 6, &out2);
A more comprehensive set of inputs for exp, including all slow paths.
The inputs have been shuffled so that they don't give a false-positive
due to a hot cache.
This adds the "include-sources" directive to scripts/bench.pl. This
allows for including source code (vs including headers, which might get
a different search path) after the inclusion of any headers.
This patch adds some more directives to the benchmark inputs file,
moving functionality from the Makefile and making the code generation
script a bit cleaner. The function argument and return types that
were earlier added as variables in the makefile and passed to the
script via command line arguments are now the 'args' and 'ret'
directive respectively. 'args' should be a colon separated list of
argument types (skipped if the function doesn't accept any arguments)
and 'ret' should be the return type.
Additionally, an 'includes' directive may have a comma separated list
of headers to include in the source. For example, the pow input file
now looks like this:
42.0, 42.0
1.0000000000000020, 1.5
I did this to unclutter the benchtests Makefile a bit and eventually
eliminate dependency of the tests on the Makefile and have tests
depend on their respective include files only.
The TIMING_INIT macro currently sets the number of loop iterations
to 1000, which limits usefulness. Make the argument a clock
resolution value and multiply by 1000 in bench-skeleton.c instead
to allow easier reuse.
