These machine-dependent inline string functions have never been on by
default, and even if they were a good idea at the time they were
introduced, they haven't really been touched in ten to fifteen years
and probably aren't a good idea on current-gen processors. Current
thinking is that this class of optimization is best left to the
compiler.

ELFv2 functions with localentry:0 are those with a single entry point,
ie. global entry == local entry, that have no requirement on r2 or
r12 and guarantee r2 is unchanged on return. Such an external
function can be called via the PLT without saving r2 or restoring it
on return, avoiding a common load-hit-store for small functions.
This patch implements the ld.so changes necessary for this
optimization. ld.so needs to check that an optimized plt call
sequence is in fact calling a function implemented with localentry:0,
end emit a fatal error otherwise.
The elf/testobj6.c change is to stop "error while loading shared

The LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable was ignored in static binaries,

that it is in tunables, the mask is usable in static binaries as well.

This patch optimizes the generic spinlock code.
The type pthread_spinlock_t is a typedef to volatile int on all archs.
Passing a volatile pointer to the atomic macros which are not mapped to the
C11 atomic builtins can lead to extra stores and loads to stack if such
a macro creates a temporary variable by using "__typeof (*(mem)) tmp;".
Thus, those macros which are used by spinlock code - atomic_exchange_acquire,
atomic_load_relaxed, atomic_compare_exchange_weak - have to be adjusted.
According to the comment from Szabolcs Nagy, the type of a cast expression is
unqualified (see http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/dr_423.htm):
__typeof ((__typeof (*(mem)) *(mem)) tmp;
Thus from spinlock perspective the variable tmp is of type int instead of
type volatile int. This patch adjusts those macros in include/atomic.h.
With this construct GCC >= 5 omits the extra stores and loads.
The atomic macros are replaced by the C11 like atomic macros and thus
the code is aligned to it. The pthread_spin_unlock implementation is now
using release memory order instead of sequentially consistent memory order.
The issue with passed volatile int pointers applies to the C11 like atomic
macros as well as the ones used before.
I've added a glibc_likely hint to the first atomic exchange in
pthread_spin_lock in order to return immediately to the caller if the lock is
free. Without the hint, there is an additional jump if the lock is free.
I've added the atomic_spin_nop macro within the loop of plain reads.
The plain reads are also realized by C11 like atomic_load_relaxed macro.
The new define ATOMIC_EXCHANGE_USES_CAS determines if the first try to acquire
the spinlock in pthread_spin_lock or pthread_spin_trylock is an exchange
or a CAS. This is defined in atomic-machine.h for all architectures.
The define SPIN_LOCK_READS_BETWEEN_CMPXCHG is now removed.
There is no technical reason for throwing in a CAS every now and then,
and so far we have no evidence that it can improve performance.
If that would be the case, we have to adjust other spin-waiting loops
elsewhere, too! Using a CAS loop without plain reads is not a good idea
on many targets and wasn't used by one. Thus there is now no option to
do so.
Architectures are now using the generic spinlock automatically if they
do not provide an own implementation. Thus the pthread_spin_lock.c files
in sysdeps folder are deleted.

David Miller has not been shot yet AFAIK (yes, I googled for any news
that may seem relevant and I poked him on twitter some days ago) so
either nobody uses SPARC or the code is correct or nobody read the
instructions in the comment to shoot him. In all of those cases the
comment is clearly not useful, so getting rid of it.
The SPARC implementations of __signbit* functions have aliases
signbit, signbitf, signbitl. These are useless, as they aren't
exported from the shared libraries (only the __signbit* functions are
exported, to be used by the type-generic signbit macro with older
compilers). This patch removes the useless aliases.

sparc64-linux-gnu and sparcv9-linux-gnu.

This patch removes all the replicated pthread definition accross the
architectures and consolidates it on shared headers. The new
organization is as follow:
* Architecture specific definition (such as pthread types sizes) are
place in the new pthreadtypes-arch.h header in arch specific path.
* All shared structure definition are moved to a common NPTL header
at sysdeps/nptl/bits/pthreadtypes.h (with now includes the arch
specific one for internal definitions).
* Also, for C11 future thread support, both mutex and condition
definition are placed in a common header at
sysdeps/nptl/bits/thread-shared-types.h.
It is also a refactor patch without expected functional changes.

With the removal of divdi3 object from sparcv9-linux-gnu build, its
definition came from libgcc and its functions internall calls .udiv.
Since glibc also exports these symbols for compatibility reasons, it
will end up creating PLT calls internally in libc.so.
To avoid it, this patch uses the linker option --wrap to replace all
the internal libc.so .udiv calls to the wrapper __wrap_.udiv. Along
with strong alias in the udiv implementations, it makes linker do
local calls.

This commit moves one step towards the deprecation of wrappers that
use _LIB_VERSION / matherr / __kernel_standard functionality, by
adding the suffix '_compat' to their filenames and adjusting Makefiles
and #includes accordingly.
New template wrappers that do not use such functionality will be added
by future patches and will be first used by the float128 wrappers.
Information about whether the ABI of long double is the same as that
of double is split between bits/mathdef.h and bits/wordsize.h.
When the ABIs are the same, bits/mathdef.h defines
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH. In addition, in the case where the same glibc
binary supports both -mlong-double-64 and -mlong-double-128,
bits/wordsize.h defines __LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_OPTIONAL, along with
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH if this particular compilation is with
-mlong-double-64.
As part of the refactoring I proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html>, this
patch puts all that information in a single header,
bits/long-double.h. It is included from sys/cdefs.h alongside the
include of bits/wordsize.h, so other headers generally do not need to
include bits/long-double.h directly.
Previously, various bits/mathdef.h headers and bits/wordsize.h headers
had this long double information (including implicitly in some
bits/mathdef.h headers through not having the defines present in the
default version). After the patch, it's all in six bits/long-double.h
headers. Furthermore, most of those new headers are not
architecture-specific. Architectures with optional long double all
use the ldbl-opt sysdeps directory, either in the order (ldbl-64-128,
ldbl-opt, ldbl-128) or (ldbl-128ibm, ldbl-opt). Thus a generic header
for the case where long double = double, and headers in ldbl-128,
ldbl-96 and ldbl-opt, suffices to cover every architecture except for
cases where long double properties vary between different ABIs sharing
a set of installed headers; fortunately all the ldbl-opt cases share a
single compiler-predefined macro __LONG_DOUBLE_128__ that can be used
to tell whether this compilation is -mlong-double-64 or
-mlong-double-128.
The two cases where a set of headers is shared between ABIs with
different long double properties, MIPS (o32 has long double = double,
other ABIs use ldbl-128) and SPARC (32-bit has optional long double,
64-bit has required long double), need their own bits/long-double.h
headers.
As with bits/wordsize.h, multiple-include protection for this header
is generally implicit through the include guards on sys/cdefs.h, and
multiple inclusion is harmless in any case. There is one subtlety:
the header must not define __LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_OPTIONAL if
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH was defined before its inclusion, because doing
so breaks how sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-opt/nldbl-compat.h defines
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH itself before including system headers. Subject
to keeping that working, it would be reasonable to move these macros
from defined/undefined #ifdef to always-defined 1/0 #if semantics, but
this patch does not attempt to do so, just rearranges where the macros
are defined.
After this patch, the only use of bits/mathdef.h is the alpha one for
modifying complex function ABIs for old GCC. Thus, all versions of
the header other than the default and alpha versions are removed, as
is the include from math.h.
Tested for x86_64 and x86. Also did compilation-only testing with

Continuing the refactoring of bits/mathdef.h, this patch stops it
defining FP_ILOGB0 and FP_ILOGBNAN, moving the required information to
a new header bits/fp-logb.h.
There are only two possible values of each of those macros permitted
by ISO C. TS 18661-1 adds corresponding macros for llogb, and their
values are required to correspond to those of the ilogb macros in the
obvious way. Thus two boolean values - for which the same choices are
correct for most architectures - suffice to determine the value of all
these macros, and by defining macros for those boolean values in
bits/fp-logb.h we can then define the public FP_* macros in math.h and
avoid the present duplication of the associated feature test macro
logic.
This patch duly moves to bits/fp-logb.h defining __FP_LOGB0_IS_MIN and
__FP_LOGBNAN_IS_MIN. Default definitions of those to 0 are correct
for both architectures, while ia64, m68k and x86 get their own
versions of bits/fp-logb.h to reflect their use of values different
from the defaults.
The patch renders many copies of bits/mathdef.h trivial (needed only
to avoid the default __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH). I'll revise
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00865.html>
accordingly so that it removes all bits/mathdef.h headers except the
default one and the alpha one, and arranges for the header to be
included only by complex.h as the only remaining use at that point
will be for the alpha ABI issues there.
Tested for x86_64 and x86. Also did compile-only testing with

This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current
usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall,
however it adds some issues:
- The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new
thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause
a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and
[1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms
(such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957).
- The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and
requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for
both clone and vfork implementation).
- Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific
code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4],
either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid
implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a
vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution).
Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread
cancellation signal and handling.
For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact
adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache
and invalidate each element pid.
Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as
cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at
create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue).
However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is
justifiable.
It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation.
And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that
this patch also solves:
- microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field
- hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork.
Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it.
The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for
such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program
issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID
and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions
threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this
semantics.
I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le.
For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from
posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing
on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze
because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

At present, definitions of float_t and double_t are split among many
bits/mathdef.h headers.
For all but three architectures, these types are float and double.
Furthermore, if you assume __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to be defined, that
provides a more generic way of determining the correct values of these
typedefs. Defining these typedefs more generally based on
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ was previously proposed by Paul Eggert in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00002.html>.
This patch refactors things in the way I proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html>. A new
header bits/flt-eval-method.h defines a single macro,
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD, which is then used by math.h to define
float_t and double_t. The default is based on __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__
(although actually a default to 0 would have the same effect for
current ports, because ports where values other than 0 or 16 are
possible all have their own headers).
To avoid changing the existing semantics in any case, including for
compilers not defining __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__, architecture-specific
files are then added for m68k, s390, x86 which replicate the existing
semantics. At least with __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ values possible with
GCC, there should be no change to the choices of float_t and double_t
for any supported configuration.
Architecture maintainer notes:
* m68k: sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 to replicate the existing logic. But
actually GCC defines __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to 0 if TARGET_68040. It
might make sense to make the header prefer to base things on
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ if defined, like the x86 version, and so make
the choices of these types more accurate (with a NEWS entry as for
the other changes to these types on particular architectures).
* s390: sysdeps/s390/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 1 to replicate the existing logic. As
previously discussed, it might make sense in coordination with GCC
to eliminate the historic mistake, avoid excess precision in the
-fexcess-precision=standard case and make the typedefs match (with a
NEWS entry, again).

manual/libm-err-tab.pl hardcodes a list of names for particular
platforms (mapping from sysdeps directory name to friendly name for
the manual). This goes against the principle of keeping information
about individual platforms in their corresponding sysdeps directory,
and the list is also very out-of-date regarding supported platforms
and their corresponding sysdeps directories.
This patch fixes this by adding a libm-test-ulps-name file alongside
each libm-test-ulps file. The script then gets the friendly name from
that file, which is required to exist, so it no longer needs to allow
for the mapping being missing.
Tested for x86_64.

Remove --enable-omitfp support
Current sparc32 sem_init and default one only differ on sem.newsem.pad
initialization. This patch removes sparc32 and sparc32v9 sem_init arch
specific implementation and set sparc32 to use nptl default one.
The default implementation sets the required sem.newsem.pad to 0 (which
is ununsed in other architectures).
I checked on i686 and a sparc32v9 build.

This patch removes the sparc32 sem_wait.c implementation since it is

the removal.

Current sparc32 sem_open and default one only differ on:
1. Default one contains a 'futex_supports_pshared' check.
2. sem.newsem.pad is initialized to zero.
This patch removes sparc32 and sparc32v9 sem_open arch specific
implementation and instead set sparc32 to use nptl default one.
Using 1. is fine since it should always evaluate 0 for Linux
(an optimized away by the compiler). Adding 2. to default
implementation should be ok since 'pad' field is used mainly
on sparc32 code.
I checked on i686 and checked a sparc32v9 build.

This patch adds SPARC versions of fegetmode and fesetmode. Untested.

TS 18661-1 defines a type femode_t to represent the set of dynamic
floating-point control modes (such as the rounding mode and trap
enablement modes), and functions fegetmode and fesetmode to manipulate
those modes (without affecting other state such as the raised
exception flags) and a corresponding macro FE_DFL_MODE.
This patch series implements those interfaces for glibc. This first
patch adds the architecture-independent pieces, the x86 and x86_64
implementations, and the <bits/fenv.h> and ABI baseline updates for
all architectures so glibc keeps building and passing the ABI tests on
all architectures. Subsequent patches add the fegetmode and fesetmode
implementations for other architectures.
femode_t is generally an integer type - the same type as fenv_t, or as
the single element of fenv_t where fenv_t is a structure containing a
single integer (or the single relevant element, where it has elements
for both status and control registers) - except where architecture
properties or consistency with the fenv_t implementation indicate
otherwise. FE_DFL_MODE follows FE_DFL_ENV in whether it's a magic
pointer value (-1 cast to const femode_t *), a value that can be
distinguished from valid pointers by its high bits but otherwise
contains a representation of the desired register contents, or a
pointer to a constant variable (the powerpc case; __fe_dfl_mode is
added as an exported constant object, an alias to __fe_dfl_env).
Note that where architectures (that share a register between control
and status bits) gain definitions of new floating-point control or
status bits in future, the implementations of fesetmode for those
architectures may need updating (depending on whether the new bits are
control or status bits and what the implementation does with
previously unknown bits), just like existing implementations of
<fenv.h> functions that take care not to touch reserved bits may need
updating when the set of reserved bits changes. (As any new bits are
outside the scope of ISO C, that's just a quality-of-implementation
issue for supporting them, not a conformance issue.)
As with fenv_t, femode_t should properly include any software DFP
rounding mode (and for both fenv_t and femode_t I'd consider that
fragment of DFP support appropriate for inclusion in glibc even in the
absence of the rest of libdfp; hardware DFP rounding modes should
already be included if the definitions of which bits are status /
control bits are correct).
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (hard float, and soft float to test the
fallback version), arm (hard float) and powerpc (hard float, soft
float and e500). Other architecture versions are untested.

The only difference is the usage of math_narrow_eval when
building s_fdiml.c. This should be harmless for long double,
but I did observe some code generation changes on m68k, but
lack the resources to test it.
Likewise, to more easily support overriding symbol generation,
the aliasing macros are always conditionally defined on their
absence to reduce boilerplate.
I also ran builds for i486, ppc64, sparcv9, aarch64,
s390x and observed no changes to s_fdim* objects.
sparc32 passes floating point values in the integer registers. VIS3
instructions gives access to the movwtos instruction to directly
transfer a value from an integer register to a floating point register.
Therefore it makes sense to provide a VIS3 version consisting in the
generic version compiled with -mvis3.

The fdim and fdimf functions on sparc do not fully follow the standard
and do not set errno to ERANGE when the result overflows. Since glibc
2.24 this causes the two following tests to fail:
Failure: fdim (max_value, -max_value): errno set to 0, expected 34 (ERANGE)
Failure: fdim_upward (max_value, -max_value): errno set to 0, expected 34 (ERANGE)
It happens that using GCC with the generic C code generates very similar
code to the sparc specific implementations. Therefore this patches
remove them. Note it might still worth adding a vis3 specific version of
fdim on sparc32/sparcv9, this is done in a following patch to ease
backporting.

When building for sparc32/sparcv9 or sparc64, we assume that VIS
instructions are available and use them in the sparc specific assembly
code. However we do not tell GCC to use such instructions, resulting in
slightly suboptimal code.
Fix that by passing -Wa,-Av9a -mvis to GCC.

sparc64 passes floating point values in the floating point registers.
As the the generic ceil, floor and trunc functions use integer
instructions, it makes sense to provide a VIS3 version consisting in
the the generic version compiled with -mvis3. GCC will then use
movdtox, movxtod, movwtos and movstow instructions.
sparc32 passes the floating point values in the integer registers, so it
doesn't make sense to do the same.

The ceil, floor and trunc functions on sparc do not fully follow the
standard and trigger an inexact exception when presented a value which
is not an integer. Since glibc 2.24 this causes a few tests to fail,
for instance:
testing double (without inline functions)
Failure: ceil (lit_pi): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (-lit_pi): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (min_subnorm_value): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (min_value): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (0.1): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (0.25): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (0.625): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (-min_subnorm_value): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (-min_value): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (-0.1): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (-0.25): Exception "Inexact" set
Failure: ceil (-0.625): Exception "Inexact" set
I tried to fix that by using the same strategy than used on other
architectures, that is by saving the FSR register at the beginning
and restoring it at the end of the function. When doing so I noticed
a comment that this operation might be very costly, so I decided to
do some benchmarks.
The benchmarks below represent the time required to run each of the
function 60 millions of times with different input value. I have done
that in the basic V9 code, the VIS2 code, and using the default C
implementation of the libc, for both sparc32 and sparc64, on a Niagara
T1 based machine and an UltraSparc IIIi. Given I don't have access to a
more recent machine), I haven't been able to test the VIS3 version. Also
it should be noted that it doesn't make sense to do this benchmark for
V8 or earlier as in that case we use the default C implementation. The
results are available in the table below, the "+ fix" version correspond
to the one saving and restoring the FSR.

The first thing that should be noted is that the C implementation is
always faster on the Niagara T1 based machine. On the UltraSparc IIIi
the float version on sparc32 is also faster.
Coming back about the fix saving and restoring the FSR, it appears
it has a big impact as expected. In that case the C implementation is
always faster than the fixed implementations.
This patch therefore removes the sparc specific implementations in
favor of the generic ones.

nearbyint and nearbyintf should not trigger inexact exceptions, but
should still trigger an invalid exception for a sNaN input.
The SPARC specific implementations of these functions save the FSR at
the beginning of the function and restore it at the end to not trigger
an inexact exception. This however doesn't work for an sNaN input which
need to trigger an invalid exception. Fix that by adding a fcmp
instruction using the input value before saving FSR, so that an invalid
exception is triggered for a sNaN input.
This fixes the math/test-nearbyint-except test on SPARC.

As discussed in
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00403.html
the setting of _STRING_ARCH_unaligned currently controls the external
GLIBC ABI as well as selecting the use of unaligned accesses withing
GLIBC.
Since _STRING_ARCH_unaligned was recently changed for AArch64, this
would potentially break the ABI in GLIBC 2.23, so split the uses and add
_STRING_INLINE_unaligned to select the string ABI. This setting must be
fixed for each target, while _STRING_ARCH_unaligned may be changed from
release to release. _STRING_ARCH_unaligned is used unconditionally in
glibc. But <bits/string.h>, which defines _STRING_ARCH_unaligned, isn't
included with -Os. Since _STRING_ARCH_unaligned is internal to glibc and
may change between glibc releases, it should be made private to glibc.
_STRING_ARCH_unaligned should defined in the new string_private.h heade
file which is included unconditionally from internal <string.h> for glibc
build.

The previous barrier implementation did not fulfill the POSIX requirements
for when a barrier can be destroyed. Specifically, it was possible that
threads that haven't noticed yet that their round is complete still access
the barrier's memory, and that those accesses can happen after the barrier
has been legally destroyed.
The new algorithm does not have this issue, and it avoids using a lock
internally.
