Add basic tests of pthread_mutexattr_gettype and
pthread_mutexattr_settype with each valid mutex kind, plus test for
EINVAL with an invalid mutex kind.
Tested for x86_64.
The pthread_timedjoin_np and pthread_clockjoin_np functions do not
check that a valid time has been specified. The documentation for
these functions in the glibc manual isn't sufficiently detailed to say
if they should, but consistency with POSIX functions such as
pthread_mutex_timedlock and pthread_cond_timedwait strongly indicates
that an EINVAL error is appropriate (even if there might be some
ambiguity about exactly where such a check should go in relation to
other checks for whether the thread exists, whether it's immediately
joinable, etc.). Copy the logic for such a check used in
pthread_rwlock_common.c.
pthread_join_common had some logic calling valid_nanoseconds before
commit 9e92278ffa, "nptl: Remove
clockwait_tid"; I haven't checked exactly what cases that detected.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.
The commit 'sparc: Use Linux kABI for syscall return'
(86c5d2cf0c) did not take into account
a subtle sparc syscall kABI constraint. For syscalls that might block
indefinitely, on an interrupt (like SIGCONT) the kernel will set the
instruction pointer to just before the syscall:
arch/sparc/kernel/signal_64.c
476 static void do_signal(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long orig_i0)
477 {
[...]
525 if (restart_syscall) {
526 switch (regs->u_regs[UREG_I0]) {
527 case ERESTARTNOHAND:
528 case ERESTARTSYS:
529 case ERESTARTNOINTR:
530 /* replay the system call when we are done */
531 regs->u_regs[UREG_I0] = orig_i0;
532 regs->tpc -= 4;
533 regs->tnpc -= 4;
534 pt_regs_clear_syscall(regs);
535 fallthrough;
536 case ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK:
537 regs->u_regs[UREG_G1] = __NR_restart_syscall;
538 regs->tpc -= 4;
539 regs->tnpc -= 4;
540 pt_regs_clear_syscall(regs);
541 }
However, on a SIGCONT it seems that 'g1' register is being clobbered after the
syscall returns. Before 86c5d2cf0c, the 'g1' was always placed jus
before the 'ta' instruction which then reloads the syscall number and restarts
the syscall.
On master, where 'g1' might be placed before 'ta':
$ cat test.c
#include <unistd.h>
int main ()
{
pause ();
}
$ gcc test.c -o test
$ strace -f ./t
[...]
ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0
On another terminal
$ kill -STOP 2262828
$ strace -f ./t
[...]
--- SIGSTOP {si_signo=SIGSTOP, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} ---
--- stopped by SIGSTOP ---
And then
$ kill -CONT 2262828
Results in:
--- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} ---
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted ppoll ...>) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
Where the expected behaviour would be:
$ strace -f ./t
[...]
ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted if no handler)
--- SIGSTOP {si_signo=SIGSTOP, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} ---
--- stopped by SIGSTOP ---
--- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} ---
ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0
Just moving the 'g1' setting near the syscall asm is not suffice,
the compiler might optimize it away (as I saw on cancellation.c by
trying this fix). Instead, I have change the inline asm to put the
'g1' setup in ithe asm block. This would require to change the asm
constraint for INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS, since the syscall number is not
constant.

The recursive lock used on abort does not synchronize with a new process
creation (either by fork-like interfaces or posix_spawn ones), nor it
is reinitialized after fork().
Also, the SIGABRT unblock before raise() shows another race condition,
where a fork or posix_spawn() call by another thread, just after the
recursive lock release and before the SIGABRT signal, might create
programs with a non-expected signal mask. With the default option
(without POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF), the process can see SIG_DFL for
SIGABRT, where it should be SIG_IGN.
To fix the AS-safe, raise() does not change the process signal mask,
and an AS-safe lock is used if a SIGABRT is installed or the process
is blocked or ignored. With the signal mask change removal,
there is no need to use a recursive loc. The lock is also taken on
both _Fork() and posix_spawn(), to avoid the spawn process to see the
abort handler as SIG_DFL.
A read-write lock is used to avoid serialize _Fork and posix_spawn
execution. Both sigaction (SIGABRT) and abort() requires to lock
as writer (since both change the disposition).
The fallback is also simplified: there is no need to use a loop of
ABORT_INSTRUCTION after _exit() (if the syscall does not terminate the
process, the system is broken).
The proposed fix changes how setjmp works on a SIGABRT handler, where
glibc does not save the signal mask. So usage like the below will now
always abort.
static volatile int chk_fail_ok;
static jmp_buf chk_fail_buf;
static void
handler (int sig)
{
if (chk_fail_ok)
{
chk_fail_ok = 0;
longjmp (chk_fail_buf, 1);
}
else
_exit (127);
}
[...]
signal (SIGABRT, handler);
[....]
chk_fail_ok = 1;
if (! setjmp (chk_fail_buf))
{
// Something that can calls abort, like a failed fortify function.
chk_fail_ok = 0;
printf ("FAIL\n");
}
Such cases will need to use sigsetjmp instead.
The _dl_start_profile calls sigaction through _profil, and to avoid
pulling abort() on loader the call is replaced with __libc_sigaction.

GCC aligns global data to 16 bytes if their size is >= 16 bytes. This patch
changes the exp2f_data struct slightly so that the fields are better aligned.

The loop should be aligned to 32-bytes so that it can ideally run out
the DSB. This is particularly important on Skylake-Server where
deficiencies in it's DSB implementation make it prone to not being
able to run loops out of the DSB.
For example running strcmp-evex on 200Mb string:
32-byte aligned loop:
- 43,399,578,766 idq.dsb_uops
not 32-byte aligned loop:
- 6,060,139,704 idq.dsb_uops
This results in a 25% performance degradation for the non-aligned
version.
The fix is to just ensure the code layout is such that the loop is
aligned. (Which was previously the case but was accidentally dropped
in 84e7c46df).
NB: The fix was actually 64-byte alignment. This is because 64-byte
alignment generally produces more stable performance than 32-byte
aligned code (cache line crosses can affect perf), so if we are going
past 16-byte alignmnent, might as well go to 64. 64-byte alignment
also matches most other functions we over-align, so it creates a
common point of optimization.
Times are reported as ratio of Time_With_Patch /
Time_Without_Patch. Lower is better.
The values being reported is the geometric mean of the ratio across
all tests in bench-strcmp and bench-strncmp.
Note this patch is only attempting to improve the Skylake-Server
strcmp for long strings. The rest of the numbers are only to test for
regressions.
Tigerlake Results Strings <= 512:
strcmp : 1.026
strncmp: 0.949
Tigerlake Results Strings > 512:
strcmp : 0.994
strncmp: 0.998
Skylake-Server Results Strings <= 512:
strcmp : 0.945
strncmp: 0.943
Skylake-Server Results Strings > 512:
strcmp : 0.778
strncmp: 1.000
The 2.6% regression on TGL-strcmp is due to slowdowns caused by
changes in alignment of code handling small sizes (most on the
page-cross logic). These should be safe to ignore because 1) We
previously only 16-byte aligned the function so this behavior is not
new and was essentially up to chance before this patch and 2) this
type of alignment related regression on small sizes really only comes
up in tight micro-benchmark loops and is unlikely to have any affect
on realworld performance.
