Since 2014-11-24 binutils git commit bb4d2ac2, readelf has appended
the symbol version to symbols shown in reloc dumps.
[BZ #16512]
* scripts/localplt.awk: Strip off symbol version.
* NEWS: Mention bug fix.
True multi-dimensional arrays were introduced in awk 4.0 and we
support awk versions as early as 3.12. Use a single subscript of the
form prefix_conf instead of two dimensions to work around this
limitation. We also need one additional array of just the conf names
subscripted by the prefix_conf to print the names for the
specifications.
* scripts/gen-posix-conf-vars.awk: Don't use multi-dimensional
arrays.
This patch adds support to generate the spec array in getconf from the
conf.list. The generated code is mostly unchanged. the only changes
are due to the change in layout of the spec and val arrays in the ELF.
The val array can also be auto-generated from posix-conf-vars.list
once the remaining macros are added to it.
* posix/posix-conf-vars.list (SPEC:XBS5): Add sysconf prefix.
* posix/confstr.c: Define NEED_SPEC_ARRAY to 0.
* posix/posix-envs.def: Likewise.
* sysdeps/posix/sysconf.c: Likewise.
* posix/getconf.c: Define NEED_SPEC_ARRAY to 1.
(specs): Remove array.
* scripts/gen-posix-conf-vars.awk: Support generation of specs
array.
This patch adds a file posix-conf-vars.list that is used to generate
macros to determine if a macro is defined as set, unset or not
defined. gen-posix-conf-vars.awk processes this file and generates a
header (posix-conf-vars-def.h) with these macros. A new header
posix-conf-vars.h includes this generated header and defines accessor
macros for the generated macros.
Tested on x86_64.
* posix/Makefile (before-compile): Add posix-conf-vars-def.h.
($(objpfx)posix-conf-vars-def.h): New target.
* posix/posix-conf-vars.list: New file.
* posix/posix-conf-vars.h: New file.
* posix/confstr.c: Include posix-conf-vars.h.
(confstr): Use CONF_IS_* macros.
* posix/posix-envs.def: Include posix-conf-vars.h. Use
CONF_IS_* macros.
* scripts/gen-posix-conf-vars.awk: New file.
Remove libc-modules.h from the tree and auto-generate it from
soversions.i and the list of modules in the built-modules variable
defined in Makeconfig. Macros generated have increasing numbered
values, with built-modules having lower values starting from 1,
following which a separator value LIBS_BEGIN is added and then finally
the library names from soversions.i are appended to the list. This
allows us to conveniently differentiate between the versioned
libraries and other built modules, which is needed in errno.h and
netdb.h to decide whether to use an internal symbol or an external
one.
Verified that generated code remains unchanged on x86_64.
* Makeconfig (built-modules): List non-library modules to be
built.
(module-cppflags): Include libc-modules.h for
everything except shlib-versions.v.i.
(CPPFLAGS): Use it.
(before-compile): Add libc-modules.h.

$(common-objpfx)libc-modules.stmp): New targets.

($(common-objpfx)Versions.v.i): Depend on libc-modules.h.

* include/libc-modules.h: Remove file.
* scripts/gen-libc-modules.awk: New script to generate
libc-modules.h.
* sysdeps/unix/Makefile ($(common-objpfx)sysd-syscalls):
Depend on libc-modules.stmp.
This patch eliminates the mixture of SONAME information in
shlib-versions files and SONAME information used to generate
gnu/lib-names.h in makefiles, with the information in the makefiles
being removed so all this information comes from the shlib-versions
files.
So that gnu/lib-names.h supports multiple ABIs, it is changed to be
generated on the same basis as gnu/stubs.h: when there are multiple
ABIs, gnu/lib-names.h is a wrapper header (the same header installed
whatever ABI is being built) and separate headers such as
gnu/lib-names-64.h contain the substantive contents (only one such
header being installed by any glibc build).
The rules for building gnu/lib-names.h were moved from Makeconfig to
Makerules because they need to come after sysdeps makefiles are
included (now that "ifndef abi-variants" is a toplevel conditional on
the rules rather than $(abi-variants) being evaluated later inside the
commands for a rule).
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch, and examined the installed gnu/lib-names*.h
headers by hand. Also tested the case of a single ABI (where there is
just a single header installed, again like stubs.h) by hacking
abi-variants to empty for x86_64.

This patch removes the --enable-oldest-abi configure option, which has
long been bitrotten (as reported in bug 6652). The principle of
removing this option was agreed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-07/msg00174.html>.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries other
than libc.so are unchanged by this patch and that libc.so disassembly
and symbol versions are unchanged (debug info changes because of
changed line numbers in csu/version.c).

This patch removes the first column (patterns matching configuration
names) from shlib-versions, leaving shlib-versions entry selection
based purely on sysdeps directories.
An implication of this removal is that the default for any non-Linux
ports using NPTL will be the same SONAMEs for NPTL libraries as for
Linux (as those defaults, previously limited to .*-.*-linux.*, are
left in nptl/shlib-versions and nptl_db/shlib-versions).
Special host_os handling in configure.ac that was purely for
shlib-versions is removed. (The host_os setting is still used for
libc-abis - see
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00375.html> regarding
that - but no entries there are affected by this change.)
Tested on x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.

libidn/ChangeLog:
* shlib-versions: Remove first column with configuration names.
shlib-versions files can contain ABI lines that map triplets to a
canonical ABI name. This name was once used for various purposes
where test baseline files for different ABIs went in a single
directory; now these purposes use sysdeps files, generation of headers
which have per-ABI variants uses abi-variants and related Makefile
variables and the shlib-versions ABI names are unused. This patch
duly removes those lines and associated build system support for them.
Tested for x86_64 (both a full testsuite run and confirming the
installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* Makeconfig ($(common-objpfx)soversions.mk): Do not generate
abi-name definition.
* scripts/soversions.awk: Do not handle or generate ABI lines.
* shlib-versions: Remove ABI entries.
* sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/shlib-versions: Remove file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/x32/shlib-versions: Remove ABI entry.
scripts/list-sources.sh includes handling of ports that has been
obsolete ever since the ports repository was merged into the libc
repository. This patch removes that handling.
Tested by regenerating libc.pot and examining the resulting changes.
* scripts/list-sources.sh: Do not handle ports specially.
This patch updates miscellaneous files from their upstream sources:
texinfo.tex from Texinfo, config.guess and config.sub from config.git,
install-sh from automake and move-if-change from gnulib.
Tested x86_64 that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the
patch; also looked at the generated libc.pdf manual.
* manual/texinfo.tex: Update to version 2014-05-05.10 with
trailing whitespace removed.

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).

GNU_IFUNC are shown by readelf in 'Relocation section' value as
"symbol()" instead of expected hexadecimal value. This causes the
check-localplt script to ignore potential PLT stub begin generated
by wrong IFUNC usage. This patch changes the localplt script to
emit such PLT cases.
This patch is an updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00198.html> and
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-03/msg00180.html>.
Normal practice for software testsuites is that rather than
terminating immediately when a test fails, they continue running and
report at the end on how many tests passed or failed.
The principle behind the glibc testsuite stopping on failure was
probably that the expected state is no failures and so any failure
indicates a problem such as miscompilation. In practice, while this
is fairly close to true for native testing on x86_64 and x86 (kernel
bugs and race conditions can still cause intermittent failures), it's
less likely to be the case on other platforms, and so people testing
glibc run the testsuite with "make -k" and then examine the logs to
determine whether the failures are what they expect to fail on that
platform, possibly with some automation for the comparison.
This patch switches the glibc testsuite to the normal convention of
not stopping on failure - unless you use stop-on-test-failure=y, in
which case it behaves essentially as it did before (and does not
generate overall test summaries on failure). Instead, the summary
tests.sum may contain tests that FAILed. At the end of the test run,
any FAIL or ERROR lines from tests.sum are printed, and then it exits
with error status if there were any such lines. In addition, build
failures will also cause the test run to stop - this has the
justification that those *do* indicate serious problems that should be
promptly fixed and aren't generally hard to fix (but apart from that,
avoiding the build stopping on those failures seems harder).
Note that unlike the previous patches in this series, this *does*
require people with automation around testing glibc to change their
processes - either to start using tests.sum / xtests.sum to track
failures and compare them with expectations (with or without also
using "make -k" and examining "make" logs to identify build failures),
or else to use stop-on-test-failure=y and ignore the new tests.sum /
xtests.sum mechanism. (If all you check is the exit status from "make
check", no changes are needed unless you want to avoid test runs
continuing after the first failure.)
Tested x86_64.

This patch, an updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00197.html>, makes
testsuite runs generate an overall summary of test results.
A new script merge-test-results.sh deals both with collecting results
within a directory to a file with all the results from that directory,
and collecting the results from subdirectories into a single overall
file (there's not much in common between the two modes of operation of
the script, but it seemed silly to have two separate scripts for
this). Within a directory, missing results produce UNRESOLVED lines;
at top level, missing results for a whole directory produce an ERROR
line (since toplevel can't identify what the specific missing tests
are in this case).
Note that this does not change the rules for when "make" considers
there has been an error, or terminates, so unexpected failures will
still cause make to terminate, or, with -k, mean the commands for
"tests" don't get run because of failure of a dependency.
Tested x86_64, including that the summary does in fact reflect all the
tests with .test-result files.

This patch, an updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00195.html>, makes it
possible for .test-result files for individual tests to contain XPASS
and XFAIL rather than PASS and FAIL in cases where failure is
expected. This replaces the marking of two individual tests with "-"
to cause them to be expected at makefile level to fail;
evaluate-test.sh will ensure it exits with status 0 for an expected
failure.
Tested x86_64.
* scripts/evaluate-test.sh: Take new argument indicating whether
failure is expected.
* Makeconfig (evaluate-test): Pass argument to evaluate-test.sh
indicating whether failure is expected.
* conform/Makefile (test-xfail-run-conformtest): New variable.
($(objpfx)run-conformtest.out): Don't expect to fail at makefile
level.

This patch, an updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00193.html>, starts
the process of generating explicit PASS or FAIL status for individual
glibc tests. It's based on Tomas Dohnalek's patch
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00278.html>, but is
deliberately more minimal: it doesn't try to cover any tests outside
of $(tests) / $(xtests) (that's for a later patch), nor does it put
the result together in an overall summary file (again, a later patch):
it just generates the .test-result files.
Thus, this patch keeps the overall logic for when a testsuite run
finishes completely unchanged: a test failing will terminate the run.
I think we *should* move to a more conventional approach where plain
"make check" does not terminate for an individual test failure, unless
e.g. you say "make stop-on-test-failure=y check", but that sort of
policy change is best done as a separate patch once the infrastructure
is in place to generate summary files for completed test runs (which
will entirely consist of PASS and XFAIL lines if the testsuite run
reaches the point of generating them, until such a policy change is
made).
Tested x86_64.

This patch updates various miscellaneous files we take from upstream
GNU sources (texinfo.texi, config.guess, config.sub - various others
haven't changed upstream since we last updated them) to their current
upstream versions.
Tested x86_64.
* manual/texinfo.tex: Update to version 2013-11-26.10 with
trailing whitespace removed.
* scripts/config.guess: Update to version 2013-11-29.
* scripts/config.sub: Update to version 2013-10-01.
`volatile int` means the same as 'int volatile', but that's not the
case for 'volatile char *' and 'char * volatile'. We won't need a
'char volatile *' or other complicated semantics for now.
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);
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.
Resolves: #15424
The compiler would optimize the benchmark function call out of the
loop and call it only once, resulting in blazingly fast times for some
benchmarks (notably atan, sin and cos). Mark the inputs as volatile
so that the code is forced to read again from the input for each
iteration.
Some math functions have distinct performance characteristics in
specific domains of inputs, where some inputs return via a fast path
while other inputs require multiple precision calculations, that too
at different precision levels. The way to implement different domains
was to have a separate source file and benchmark definition, resulting
in separate programs.
This clutters up the benchmark, so this change allows these domains to
be consolidated into the same input file. To do this, the input file
format is now enhanced to allow comments with a preceding # and
directives with two # at the begining of a line. A directive that
looks like:
tells the benchmark generation script that what follows is a different
domain of inputs. The value of the 'name' directive (in this case,
foo) is used in the output. The two input domains are then executed
sequentially and their results collated separately. with the above
directive, there would be two lines in the result that look like:
func(): ....
func(foo): ...
The idea to run benchmarks for a constant number of iterations is
problematic. While the benchmarks may run for 10 seconds on x86_64,
they could run for about 30 seconds on powerpc and worse, over 3
minutes on arm. Besides that, adding a new benchmark is cumbersome
since one needs to find out the number of iterations needed for a
sufficient runtime.
A better idea would be to run each benchmark for a specific amount of
time. This patch does just that. The run time defaults to 10 seconds
and it is configurable at command line:
make BENCH_DURATION=5 bench
