I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
GCC 9 has gained an enhancement to help detect attribute mismatches
between alias declarations and their targets. It consists of a new
warning, -Wattribute-alias, an enhancement to an existing warning,
-Wmissing-attributes, and a new attribute called copy.
The purpose of the warnings is to help identify either possible bugs
(an alias declared with more restrictive attributes than its target
promises) or optimization or diagnostic opportunities (an alias target
missing some attributes that it could be declared with that might
benefit analysis and code generation). The purpose of the new
attribute is to easily apply (almost) the same set of attributes
to one declaration as those already present on another.
As expected (and intended) the enhancement triggers warnings for
many alias declarations in Glibc code. This change, tested on
x86_64-linux, avoids all instances of the new warnings by making
use of the attribute where appropriate. To fully benefit from
the enhancement Glibc will need to be compiled with
-Wattribute-alias=2 and remaining warnings reviewed and dealt with
(there are a couple of thousand but most should be straightforward
to deal with).
ChangeLog:
* include/libc-symbols.h (__attribute_copy__): Define macro unless
it's already defined.
(_strong_alias): Use __attribute_copy__.
(_weak_alias, __hidden_ver1, __hidden_nolink2): Same.
* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__attribute_copy__): New macro.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memchr.c (memchr): Use __attribute_copy__.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcmp.c (memcmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.c (mempcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset.c (memset): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/stpcpy.c (stpcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcat.c (strcat): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strchr.c (strchr): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcmp.c (strcmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcpy.c (strcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcspn.c (strcspn): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen.c (strlen): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strncmp.c (strncmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strncpy.c (strncpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strnlen.c (strnlen): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strpbrk.c (strpbrk): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strrchr.c (strrchr): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strspn.c (strspn): Same.
Optimize strlen/strnlen/wcslen/wcsnlen with AVX2 to check 32 bytes with
a single vector compare instruction. It is as fast as SSE2 versions for
size <= 16 bytes and up to 1X faster for or size > 16 bytes on Haswell.
Select AVX2 version on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper is preferred and
AVX unaligned load is fast.
NB: It uses TZCNT instead of BSF since TZCNT produces the same result
as BSF for non-zero input. TZCNT is faster than BSF and is executed
as BSF if machine doesn't support TZCNT.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
strlen-sse2, strnlen-sse2, strlen-avx2, strnlen-avx2,
wcslen-sse2, wcslen-avx2 and wcsnlen-avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add tests for __strlen_avx2,
__strlen_sse2, __strnlen_avx2, __strnlen_sse2, __wcslen_avx2,
__wcslen_sse2 and __wcsnlen_avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-avx2.S: New file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-sse2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strnlen-avx2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strnlen-sse2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strnlen.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wcslen-avx2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wcslen-sse2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wcslen.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wcsnlen-avx2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wcsnlen.c (OPTIMIZE (avx2)): New.
(IFUNC_SELECTOR): Return OPTIMIZE (avx2) on AVX2 machines where
vzeroupper is preferred and AVX unaligned load is fast.
