This patch fixes the build of C mempcpy and stpcpy by disabling the
redirection to __mempcpy and __stpcpy asm names if
NO_MEMPCPY_STPCPY_REDIRECT is defined, and defining that macro in the
relevant source files.

Continuing the removal of the obsolete INTDEF / INTUSE mechanism, this
patch eliminates its use for _dl_init. Since _dl_init was already
declared with hidden visibility, creating a second hidden alias for it
was completely pointless, so this patch replaces all uses of
_dl_init_internal with plain _dl_init instead of using hidden_proto /
hidden_def (which are only needed when you want a hidden alias for a
non-hidden symbol; it's quite possible there are cases where they are
used but don't need to be because the symbol in question is not part
of the public ABI and is only used within a single library, so using
attributes_hidden instead would suffice).
Tested for x86_64 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch.

Continuing the removal of the obsolete INTDEF / INTUSE mechanism, this
patch replaces its use for _dl_argv with rtld_hidden_data_def and
rtld_hidden_proto. Some places in .S files that previously used
_dl_argv_internal or INTUSE(_dl_argv) now use __GI__dl_argv directly
(there are plenty of existing examples of such direct use of __GI_*).
A single place in rtld.c previously used _dl_argv without INTUSE,
apparently accidentally, while the rtld_hidden_proto mechanism avoids
such accidential omissions. As a consequence, this patch *does*
change the contents of stripped ld.so. However, the installed
stripped shared libraries are identical to those you get if instead of
this patch you change that single _dl_argv use to use INTUSE, without
any other changes.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite as well as comparison of installed
stripped shared libraries as described above).

else, it doesn't matter at all whether __*_v_glibc20 or __*_internal

Now that MEMCPY_OK_FOR_FWD_MEMMOVE should be define on memcopy.h there
is no need to specialized powerpc memmove implementation. This patch
moves the define set to powerpc memcopy and cleanup its definition on
powerpc code.
This patch changes power7 memcpy to use VSX instructions only when
memory is aligned to quardword. It is to avoid unaligned kernel traps
on non-cacheable memory (for instance, memory-mapped I/O).
This patch defines ELF_MACHINE_NO_RELA on all architectures. Tested
only on x86_64 to verify that the sources before and after are
identical except for two instructions that pass the current line
number in dl-machine.h to assert_fail.
This patch fixes a similar issue to
736c304a1a, where for PPC32 if the symbol
is defined as hidden (memchr) then compiler will create a local branc
(symbol@local) and the linker will not create a required PLT call to
make the ifunc work. It changes the default hidden symbol (__GI_memchr)
to default memchr symbol for powerpc32 (__memchr_ppc32).
This patch changes de default symbol redirection for internal call of
memcpy, memset, memchr, and strlen to the IFUNC resolved ones. The
performance improvement is noticeable in algorithms that uses these
symbols extensible, like the regex functions.
This patch fixes some powerpc32 and powerpc64 builds with
--disable-multi-arch option along with different --with-cpu=powerN.
It cleanups the Implies directories by removing the multiarch
folder for non multiarch config and also fixing two assembly
implementations: powerpc64/power7/strncat.S that is calling the
wrong strlen; and power8/fpu/s_isnan.S that misses the hidden_def and
weak_alias directives.
This patch fixes the powerpc32 optimized nearbyint/nearbyintf bogus
results for FE_DOWNWARD rounding mode. This is due wrong instructions
sequence used in the rounding calculation (two subtractions instead of
adition and a subtraction).
Fixes BZ#16815.
This patch fixes an issue for powerpc32-fpu static build which fails
with an 'bzero' undefined reference. This patch adds bzero ifunc selector
for static builds and fixes the '__bzero_ppc' reference to default
memset symbol (since static memset build does not provide ifunc
selector).
Fixes BZ#16689.
This patch add a optimized isnan/isnanf implementation for POWER8
using the new Move From VSR Doubleword instruction to gains some
cycles from FP to GRP register move.
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/libgcc-compat.S makes certain symbols that
glibc once accidentally reexported from libgcc into compat symbols.
Where the exports were purely accidental, this is the right thing to
do. However, for powerpc-nofpu the soft-fp symbols are deliberately
exported from libc, given public versions in
sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/Versions and used by libm in preference to the
libgcc versions that do not support the software exceptions and
rounding modes. The libc versions should also be usable by user
programs, though normally libgcc gets linked in first (meaning,
effectively, that the <fenv.h> functions are broken as regards their
expected effects on user arithmetic).
A longstanding todo item is to remove the functions in question from
libgcc (when built with recent enough glibc) - that is, remove them
from static libgcc and make them compat symbols in shared libgcc - so
that this works properly (this is one of the items mentioned at
<http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Software_floating_point> - parts of that page
are obviously out of date, but this item still applies). Doing this
requires first that the functions are actually available from libc for
new links, not just as compat symbols.
This patch stops the symbols in question being compat symbols for
powerpc-nofpu. The nofpu Versions entries for them are removed (the
symbols never were exported at GLIBC_2.3.2, only GLIBC_2.0, because
the compat symbols took precedence).
Tested powerpc-nofpu. The symbols are no longer compat symbols and
libm.so now properly gets undefined references to them (resolved to
libc.so) instead of the libgcc copies getting linked into libm as
before.

Like strnlen, memchr and memrchr had a number of defects fixed by this
patch as well as adding little-endian support. The first one I
noticed was that the entry to the main loop needlessly checked for
"are we done yet?" when we know the size is large enough that we can't
be done. The second defect I noticed was that the main loop count was
wrong, which in turn meant that the small loop needed to handle an
extra word. Thirdly, there is nothing to say that the string can't
wrap around zero, except of course that we'd normally hit a segfault
on trying to read from address zero. Fixing that simplified a number
of places:
- /* Are we done already? */
- addi r9,r8,8
- cmpld r9,r7
- bge L(null)
becomes
+ cmpld r8,r7
+ beqlr
However, the exit gets an extra test because I test for being on the
last word then if so whether the byte offset is less than the end.
Overall, the change is a win.
Lastly, memrchr used the wrong cache hint.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memchr.S: Replace rlwimi with
insrdi. Make better use of reg selection to speed exit slightly.
Schedule entry path a little better. Remove useless "are we done"
checks on entry to main loop. Handle wrapping around zero address.
Correct main loop count. Handle single left-over word from main

LIttle-endian support for memcpy. I spent some time cleaning up the

power7 takes for little-endian. It probably would have been better

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00102.html
This is a rather large patch due to formatting and renaming. The
formatting changes were to make it possible to compare power7 and
power4 versions of memcmp. Using different register defines came
about while I was wrestling with the code, trying to find spare
registers at one stage. I found it much simpler if we refer to a reg
by the same name throughout a function, so it's better if short-term
multiple use regs like rTMP are referred to using their register
number. I made the cr field usage changes when attempting to reload
rWORDn regs in the exit path to byte swap before comparing when
little-endian. That proved a bad idea due to the pipelining involved
in the main loop; Offsets to reload the regs were different first
time around the loop.. Anyway, I left the cr field usage changes in
place for consistency.
Aside from these more-or-less cosmetic changes, I fixed a number of
places where an early exit path restores regs unnecessarily, removed
some dead code, and optimised one or two exits.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memcmp.S: Add little-endian support.
Formatting. Consistently use rXXX register defines or rN defines.
Use early exit labels that avoid restoring unused non-volatile regs.
Make cr field use more consistent with rWORDn compares. Rename

Adds little-endian support to optimised strchr assembly. I've also
tweaked the big-endian code a little. In power7/strchr.S there's a
check in the tail of the function that we didn't match 0 before
finding a c match, done by comparing leading zero counts. It's just
as valid, and quicker, to compare the raw output from cmpb.
Another little tweak is to use rldimi/insrdi in place of rlwimi for
the power7 strchr functions. Since rlwimi is cracked, it is a few
cycles slower. rldimi can be used on the 32-bit power7 functions
too.

This is the first of nine patches adding little-endian support to the
existing optimised string and memory functions. I did spend some
time with a power7 simulator looking at cycle by cycle behaviour for
memchr, but most of these patches have not been run on cpu simulators
to check that we are going as fast as possible. I'm sure PowerPC can
do better. However, the little-endian support mostly leaves main
loops unchanged, so I'm banking on previous authors having done a
good job on big-endian.. As with most code you stare at long enough,
I found some improvements for big-endian too.
Little-endian support for strlen. Like most of the string functions,
I leave the main word or multiple-word loops substantially unchanged,
just needing to modify the tail.
Removing the branch in the power7 functions is just a tidy. .align
produces a branch anyway. Modifying regs in the non-power7 functions
is to suit the new little-endian tail.

Little-endian fixes for setjmp/longjmp. When writing these I noticed
the setjmp code corrupts the non volatile VMX registers when using an
unaligned buffer. Anton fixed this, and also simplified it quite a
bit.
The current code uses boilerplate for the case where we want to store
16 bytes to an unaligned address. For that we have to do a
read/modify/write of two aligned 16 byte quantities. In our case we
are storing a bunch of back to back data (consective VMX registers),
and only the start and end of the region need the read/modify/write.

The pointer guard used for pointer mangling was not initialized for
static applications resulting in the security feature being disabled.
The pointer guard is now correctly initialized to a random value for
static applications. Existing static applications need to be

coverage to ensure the pointer guards are sufficiently random

The program name may be unavailable if the user application tampers

This patch fix the 3c0265394d commits
by correctly setting minimum architecture for modf PPC optimization
to power5+ instead of power5 (since only on power5+ round/ceil will

The branch prediction hints is actually hurts performance in this case.
The assembly implementation make two assumptions: 1. 'fabs (x) < 2^52'
is unlikely and 2. 'x > 0.0' is unlike (if 1. is true). Since it a
general floating point function, expected input is not bounded and then
it is better to let the hardware handle the branches.

that was slowing down every iteration through the while-loop.
For 64-bit Power7, These changes give an approx 20% throughput boost
for the wcschr and wcsrchr functions; and approx 40% boost for the
wcscpy function. 32-bit improvements appear to be slightly better
with ~ %30 and ~ %45 respectively. Results for Power6 closely match
those for power7.
Assorted tweaking, twisting and tuning to squeeze a few additional cycles
out of the memchr code. Changes include bypassing the shift pairs
(sld,srd) when they are not required, and unrolling the small_loop that
handles short and trailing strings.
Per scrollpipe data measuring aligned strings for 64-bit, these changes
save between five and eight cycles (9-13% overall) for short strings (<32),
Longer aligned strings see slight improvement of 1-3% due to bypassing the
shifts and the instruction rearranging.
In the past the "-ftree-loop-linear" switch provided a measurable
improvement in performance for certain functions. At some point it
was assigned as the responsibility of Graphite in GCC. It has been
found that even with Graphite enabled these flags no longer perform
any appreciable improvement over the baseline.
Graphite now has some open bugs which need to be fixed in order for it
to provide measurable performance improvements but it lacks active
development. As a result some compiler distributors may disable
Graphite. If Graphite is disabled then building GLIBC will fail if
the "-ftree-loop-linear" switch is used.
This patch removes the use of "-ftree-loop-linear" as unnecessary.
