The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> data alignment [gain from aligned memory access on read/write]
> POWER7 gains performance with loop unrolling/unwinding
[gain by reduction of branch penalty].
> zero padding done by calling optimized memset
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 optimizes the FPSCR update on exception and rounding change
functions by just updating its value if new value if different from
current one. It also optimizes fedisableexcept and feenableexcept by
removing an unecessary FPSCR read.
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 add an optimized strpbrk for POWER7 by using a different
algorithm than default implementation: it constructs a table based on
the 'accept' argument and use this table to check for any occurance on
the input string. The idea is similar as x86_64 uses.
For PowerPC some tunings were added, such as unroll loops and memory
clear using VSX instructions.
This patch add a optimized strcspn for POWER7 by using a different
algorithm than default implementation: it constructs a table based on
the 'accept' argument and use this table to check for any occurance
on the input string. The idea is similar as x86_64 uses.
For PowerPC some tunings were added, such as unroll loops and align
stack memory to table to 16 bytes (so VSX clean can ran without
alignment issues).
The roundl assembly implementation
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_roundl.S)
returns wrong results for some inputs where first double is a exact
integer and the precision is determined by second long double.
Checking on implementation comments and history, I am very confident the
assembly implementation was based on a version before commit
5c68d40169 that fixes BZ#2423 (Errors in
long double (ldbl-128ibm) rounding functions in glibc-2.4).
By just removing the implementation and make the build select
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_roundl.c instead fixes the failing math.
This fixes 16707.

Fixes BZ#16701.
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 fixes an issue for powerpc64[le] static build where __bzero
is definied in multiple places (memset-ppc64.o and bzero.o). It is now
defined only in bzero.o and memset-ppc64.o only defined __bzero_ppc for
both dynamic and static library.
Fixes BZ#16683.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> hashing of needle.
> hashing avoids scanning of duplicate entries in needle across the string.
> initializing the hash table with Vector instructions (VSX) by quadword access.
> unrolling when scanning for character in string across hash table.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
1. Doubleword aligned memory access and compares using
cmpb instruction.
2. Loop unrolling for byte load/store.
3. CPU pre-fetch to avoid cache miss.
This patch fix the optimized powerpc-fpu modf/modff implementation
when using in non-default rounding mode where the zero sign is not
as expected. It fixes the libm testsuite tests
modf_downward (0) == 0.00000000000000000000e+00
modf_downward (20) == 0.00000000000000000000e+00
modf_downward (21) == 0.00000000000000000000e+00
Where the sign returned was negative.
As recently discussed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00670.html>, it
doesn't seem particularly useful for libm-test-ulps files to contain
huge amounts of data on ulps for individual tests; just the global
maximum observed ulps for each function, together with the
verification of exceptions, errno and special results such as
infinities and NaNs for each test, suffices to verify that a
function's behavior on the given test inputs is within the expected
accuracy. Removing this data reduces source tree churn caused by
updates to these files when libm tests are added, and reduces the
frequency with which testsuite additions actually need libm-test-ulps
changes at all.
Accordingly, this patch removes that data, so that individual tests
get checked against the global bounds for the given function and only
generate an error if those are exceeded. Tested x86_64 (including
verifying that if an ulps value is artificially reduced, the tests do
indeed fail as they should and "make regen-ulps" generates the
expected changes).

elf/tst-auxv.c includes misc/sys/auxv.h, which ends up not actually
being included due to the guard overlap, and getauxval becomes an

worst, it'll crash and burn on platforms where implict pointer

IEEE 754-2008 defines two ways in which tiny results can be detected,
"before rounding" (based on the infinite-precision result) and "after
rounding" (based on the result when rounded to normal precision as if
the exponent range were unbounded). All binary operations on an
architecture must use the same choice of how tininess is detected.
soft-fp has so far implemented only before-rounding tininess
detection. This patch adds support for after-rounding tininess
detection. A new macro _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING is added that
sfp-machine.h must define (soft-fp is meant to be self-contained so
the existing tininess.h files aren't used here, though the information
going in sfp-machine.h has been taken from them). The soft-fp macros
dealing with raising underflow exceptions then handle the cases where
the choice matters specially, rounding a copy of the input to the
appropriate precision to see if a value that's tiny before rounding
isn't tiny after rounding.
Tested for mips64 using GCC trunk (which now uses soft-fp on MIPS, so
supporting exceptions and rounding modes for long double where not
previously supported - this is the immediate motivation for doing this
patch now) together with (a) a patch to sysdeps/mips/math-tests.h to
enable exceptions / rounding modes tests for long double for GCC 4.9
and later, and (b) corresponding changes applied to libgcc's soft-fp
and sfp-machine.h files. In the libgcc context this is also tested on
x86_64 (also an after-rounding architecture) with testcases for
__float128 that I intend to add to the GCC testsuite when updating
soft-fp there.
(To be clear: this patch does not fix any glibc bugs that were
user-visible in past releases, since after-rounding architectures
didn't use soft-fp in any affected case with support for
floating-point exceptions - so there is no corresponding Bugzilla bug.
Rather, it works together with the GCC changes to use soft-fp on MIPS
to allow previously absent long double functionality to work properly,
and allows soft-fp to be used in glibc on after-rounding architectures
in cases where it couldn't previously be used.)
* soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_DECL): Mark exponent as possibly

This patch creates implicit rules to match the abifiles if
abilist-pattern is defined in the architecture Makefile. This allows
machine specific Makefiles to define different abifiles names
(for instance *-le.abilist for powerpc64le).
The truncl assembly implementation (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_truncl.S)
returns wrong results for some inputs where first double is a exact integer
and the precision is determined by second long double.
Checking on implementation comments and history, I am very confident the
assembly implementation was based on a version before commit
5c68d40169 that fixes BZ#2423 (Errors in
long double (ldbl-128ibm) rounding functions in glibc-2.4).
By just removing the implementation and make the build select
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_truncl.c instead it fixes tgammal
issues regarding wrong result sign.
This patch fixes bug 16390, incorrect signs of zero results from
ldbl-128ibm atan2l, soft-float only. The problem is a longstanding
GCC bug with fabsl not being correct for signed zero for soft float,
and the fix is using -fno-builtin-fabsl as a workaround, as already
done for various other source files. Tested powerpc-nofpu.
* sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/Makefile [$(subdir) = math]
(CFLAGS-e_atan2l.c): Use -fno-builtin-fabsl.
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.
