The elision interfaces are closely aligned between the targets that
implement them, so declare them in the generic <lowlevellock.h>
file.
Empty .c stubs are provided, so that fewer makefile updates
under sysdeps are needed. Also simplify initialization via
__libc_early_init.
The symbols __lll_clocklock_elision, __lll_lock_elision,
__lll_trylock_elision, __lll_unlock_elision, __pthread_force_elision
move into libc. For the time being, non-hidden references are used
from libpthread to access them, but once that part of libpthread
is moved into libc, hidden symbols will be used again. (Hidden
references seem desirable to reduce the likelihood of transactions
aborts.)
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
Support usable check for all CPU features with the following changes:
1. Change struct cpu_features to
struct cpuid_features
{
struct cpuid_registers cpuid;
struct cpuid_registers usable;
};
struct cpu_features
{
struct cpu_features_basic basic;
struct cpuid_features features[COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX];
unsigned int preferred[PREFERRED_FEATURE_INDEX_MAX];
...
};
so that there is a usable bit for each cpuid bit.
2. After the cpuid bits have been initialized, copy the known bits to the
usable bits. EAX/EBX from INDEX_1 and EAX from INDEX_7 aren't used for
CPU feature detection.
3. Clear the usable bits which require OS support.
4. If the feature is supported by OS, copy its cpuid bit to its usable
bit.
5. Replace HAS_CPU_FEATURE and CPU_FEATURES_CPU_P with CPU_FEATURE_USABLE
and CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P to check if a feature is usable.
6. Add DEPR_FPU_CS_DS for INDEX_7_EBX_13.
7. Unset MPX feature since it has been deprecated.
The results are
1. If the feature is known and doesn't requre OS support, its usable bit
is copied from the cpuid bit.
2. Otherwise, its usable bit is copied from the cpuid bit only if the
feature is known to supported by OS.
3. CPU_FEATURE_USABLE/CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P are used to check if the
feature can be used.
4. HAS_CPU_FEATURE/CPU_FEATURE_CPU_P are used to check if CPU supports
the feature.
One group of warnings seen with -Wextra is warnings for static or
inline not at the start of a declaration (-Wold-style-declaration).
This patch fixes various such cases for inline, ensuring it comes at
the start of the declaration (after any static). A common case of the
fix is "static inline <type> __always_inline"; the definition of
__always_inline starts with __inline, so the natural change is to
"static __always_inline <type>". Other cases of the warning may be
harder to fix (one pattern is a function definition that gets
rewritten to be static by an including file, "#define funcname static
wrapped_funcname" or similar), but it seems worth fixing these cases
with inline anyway.
Tested for x86_64.

This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

This patch updates x86 elision-conf.c to use the newly defined
HAS_CPU_FEATURE from <cpu-features.h>.

This patch relies on the C version of the rwlocks posted earlier.
With C rwlocks it is very straight forward to do adaptive elision
using TSX. It is based on the infrastructure added earlier
for mutexes, but uses its own elision macros. The macros
are fairly general purpose and could be used for other
elision purposes too.
This version is much cleaner than the earlier assembler based
version, and in particular implements adaptation which makes
it safer.
I changed the behavior slightly to not require any changes
in the test suite and fully conform to all expected
behaviors (generally at the cost of not eliding in
various situations). In particular this means the timedlock
variants are not elided. Nested trylock aborts.
