More little-endian support. I leave the main strcmp loops unchanged,
(well, except for renumbering rTMP to something other than r0 since
it's needed in an addi insn) and modify the tail for little-endian.
I noticed some of the big-endian tail code was a little untidy so have
cleaned that up too.

those for memchr.

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.

This copies the sparc version of sigstack.h, which gives powerpc
#define MINSIGSTKSZ 4096
#define SIGSTKSZ 16384
Before the VSX changes, struct rt_sigframe size was 1920 plus 128 for
__SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE giving ppc64 exactly the default MINSIGSTKSZ of
2048.
After VSX, ucontext increased by 256 bytes. Oops, we're over
MINSIGSTKSZ, so powerpc has been using the wrong value for quite a
while. Add another ucontext for TM and rt_sigframe is now at 3872,
giving actual MINSIGSTKSZ of 4000.
The glibc testcase that I was looking at was tst-cancel21, which
allocates 2*SIGSTKSZ (not because the test is trying to be
conservative, but because the test actually has nested signal stack
frames). We blew the allocation by 48 bytes when using current
mainline gcc to compile glibc (le ppc64).
The required stack depth in _dl_lookup_symbol_x from the top of the
next signal frame was 10944 bytes. I guess you'd want to add 288 to
that, implying an actual SIGSTKSZ of 11232.

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.

These two functions oddly test x+1>0 when a double x is >= 0.0, and
similarly when x is negative. I don't see the point of that since the
test should always be true. I also don't see any need to convert x+1
to integer rather than simply using xr+1. Note that the standard
allows these functions to return any value when the input is outside
the range of long long, but it's not too hard to prevent xr+1
overflowing so that's what I've done.
(With rounding mode FE_UPWARD, x+1 can be a lot more than what you
might naively expect, but perhaps that situation was covered by the
x - xrf < 1.0 test.)

Another batch of ieee854 macros and union replacement. These four
files also have bugs fixed with this patch. The fact that the two
doubles in an IBM long double may have different signs means that
negation and absolute value operations can't just twiddle one sign bit
as you can with ieee864 style extended double. fmodl, remainderl,
erfl and erfcl all had errors of this type. erfl also returned +1 for
large magnitude negative input where it should return -1. The hypotl
error is innocuous since the value adjusted twice is only used as a
flag. The e_hypotl.c tests for large "a" and small "b" are mutually
exclusive because we've already exited when x/y > 2**120. That allows
some further small simplifications.

Further replacement of ieee854 macros and unions. These files also
have some optimisations for comparison against 0.0L, infinity and nan.
Since the ABI specifies that the high double of an IBM long double
pair is the value rounded to double, a high double of 0.0 means the
low double must also be 0.0. The ABI also says that infinity and
nan are encoded in the high double, with the low double unspecified.

I discovered a number of places where denormals and other corner cases
were being handled wrongly.
- printf_fphex.c: Testing for the low double exponent being zero is
unnecessary. If the difference in exponents is less than 53 then the
high double exponent must be nearing the low end of its range, and the
low double exponent hit rock bottom.
- ldbl2mpn.c: A denormal (ie. exponent of zero) value is treated as
if the exponent was one, so shift mantissa left by one. Code handling
normalisation of the low double mantissa lacked a test for shift count
greater than bits in type being shifted, and lacked anything to handle
the case where the difference in exponents is less than 53 as in
printf_fphex.c.
- math_ldbl.h (ldbl_extract_mantissa): Same as above, but worse, with
code testing for exponent > 1 for some reason, probably a typo for >= 1.
- math_ldbl.h (ldbl_insert_mantissa): Round the high double as per
mpn2ldbl.c (hi is odd or explicit mantissas non-zero) so that the
number we return won't change when applying ldbl_canonicalize().
Add missing overflow checks and normalisation of high mantissa.
Correct misleading comment: "The hidden bit of the lo mantissa is
zero" is not always true as can be seen from the code rounding the hi
mantissa. Also by inspection, lzcount can never be less than zero so
remove that test. Lastly, masking bitfields to their widths can be
left to the compiler.
- mpn2ldbl.c: The overflow checks here on rounding of high double were
just plain wrong. Incrementing the exponent must be accompanied by a
shift right of the mantissa to keep the value unchanged. Above notes
for ldbl_insert_mantissa are also relevant.

[BZ #15915] As described in the bug, the pattern rule for lib%.so files
in Makerules includes linkobj/libc.so as a dependency. However, the
explicit rule for linkobj/libc.so is in the top-level Makefile.
Thus, the subdirectory makefiles that include Makerules end up with an
erroneous makefile pattern rule for linkobj/libc.so that includes
itself as a dependency. The result is make warnings whenever rules
for other .so files are resolved -- and, on occasion, actual makefile
failures when a race condition causes the implicit rule to actually be
used.
This patch moves the explicit rules for linkobj/libc.so into Makerules
to clear up this problem. It also elaborates a couple of comments
that I'd initially found confusing.

strcoll is implemented using a cache for indices and weights of
collation sequences in the strings so that subsequent passes do not
have to search through collation data again. For very large string
inputs, the cache size computation could overflow. In such a case,
use the fallback function that does not cache indices and weights of
collation sequences.
Fixes CVE-2012-4412.
strcoll currently falls back to alloca if malloc fails, resulting in a
possible stack overflow. This patch implements sequence traversal and
comparison without caching indices and rules.
Fixes CVE-2012-4424.
Statically built binaries use __pointer_chk_guard_local,
while dynamically built binaries use __pointer_chk_guard.
Provide the right definition depending on the test case
we are building.
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
recompiled to take advantage of the fix.
The test tst-ptrguard1-static and tst-ptrguard1 add regression
coverage to ensure the pointer guards are sufficiently random
and initialized to a default value.

It has been a long practice for software using IEEE 754 floating-point
arithmetic run on MIPS processors to use an encoding of Not-a-Number
(NaN) data different to one used by software run on other processors.
And as of IEEE 754-2008 revision [1] this encoding does not follow one
recommended in the standard, as specified in section 6.2.1, where it
is stated that quiet NaNs should have the first bit (d1) of their
significand set to 1 while signalling NaNs should have that bit set to
0, but MIPS software interprets the two bits in the opposite manner.
As from revision 3.50 [2][3] the MIPS Architecture provides for
processors that support the IEEE 754-2008 preferred NaN encoding format.
As the two formats (further referred to as "legacy NaN" and "2008 NaN")
are incompatible to each other, tools have to provide support for the
two formats to help people avoid using incompatible binary modules.
The change is comprised of two functional groups of features, both of
which are required for correct support.
1. Dynamic linker support.
To enforce the NaN encoding requirement in dynamic linking a new ELF
file header flag has been defined. This flag is set for 2008-NaN
shared modules and executables and clear for legacy-NaN ones. The
dynamic linker silently ignores any incompatible modules it
encounters in dependency processing.
To avoid unnecessary processing of incompatible modules in the
presence of a shared module cache, a set of new cache flags has been
defined to mark 2008-NaN modules for the three ABIs supported.
Changes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/readelflib.c have been made
following an earlier code quality suggestion made here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-03/msg00036.html
and are therefore a little bit more extensive than the minimum
required.
Finally a new name has been defined for the dynamic linker so that
2008-NaN and legacy-NaN binaries can coexist on a single system that
supports dual-mode operation and that a legacy dynamic linker that
does not support verifying the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag is not
chosen to interpret a 2008-NaN binary by accident.
2. Floating environment support.
IEEE 754-2008 features are controlled in the Floating-Point Control
and Status (FCSR) register and updates are needed to floating
environment support so that the 2008-NaN flag is set correctly and
the kernel default, inferred from the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag
at the time an executable is loaded, respected.
As the NaN encoding format is a property of GCC code generation that is
both a user-selected GCC configuration default and can be overridden
with GCC options, code that needs to know what NaN encoding standard it
has been configured for checks for the __mips_nan2008 macro that is
defined internally by GCC whenever the 2008-NaN mode has been selected.
This mode is determined at the glibc configuration time and therefore a
few consistency checks have been added to catch cases where compilation
flags have been overridden by the user.
The 2008 NaN set of features relies on kernel support as the in-kernel
floating-point emulator needs to be aware of the NaN encoding used even
on hard-float processors and configure the FPU context according to the
value of the 2008 NaN ELF file header flag of the executable being
started. As at this time work on kernel support is still in progress
and the relevant changes have not made their way yet to linux.org master
repository.
Therefore the minimum version supported has been artificially set to
10.0.0 so that 2008-NaN code is not accidentally run on a Linux kernel
that does not suppport it. It is anticipated that the version is
adjusted later on to the actual initial linux.org kernel version to
support this feature. Legacy NaN encoding support is unaffected, older
kernel versions remain supported.

The TIMING_INIT macro currently sets the number of loop iterations
to 1000, which limits usefulness. Make the argument a clock
resolution value and multiply by 1000 in bench-skeleton.c instead
to allow easier reuse.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_INIT): Rename ITERS
parameter to RES. Remove hardcoded 1000 value.
* benchtests/bench-skeleton.c (main): Pass RES parameter
to TIMING_INIT and multiply result by 1000.

and corrupt allocator internals. Check the overflow does not occur
before continuing with the allocation.

The end of the "Parsing of Floats" subsection currently reads:
The GNU C Library also provides '_l' versions of these functions,
which take an additional argument, the locale to use in conversion.
*Note Parsing of Integers::.
Split the final note as it is unrelated to the above comment and
reference it with "See also" instead.
The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section
without clarification of the needed configure option. Clarify this
and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring
and compiling" section.
Long ago static startup did not parse the auxiliary vector and therefore
could not get at any `AT_FPUCW' tag to check whether upon FPU context
allocation the kernel would use a FPU control word setting different to
that provided by the `__fpu_control' variable. Static startup therefore
always initialized the FPU control word, forcing immediate FPU context
allocation even for binaries that otherwise never used the FPU.
As from GIT commit f8f900ecb9 static
startup supports parsing the auxiliary vector, so now it can avoid
explicit initialization of the FPU control word, just as can dynamic
startup, in the usual case where the setting written to the FPU control
word would be the same as the kernel uses. This defers FPU context
allocation until the binary itself actually pokes at the FPU.
Note that the `AT_FPUCW' tag is usually absent from the auxiliary vector
in which case _FPU_DEFAULT is assumed to be the kernel default.
The current tests don't test the functionality of realloc in detail.
Add a new test for realloc that exercises some of the corner cases
that are not otherwise tested.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-09 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* malloc/Makefile: Add tst-realloc to tests.
* malloc/tst-realloc.c: New file.
The benchmark for memcpy got disabled accidentally. Re-enable it.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-06 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/Makefile (string-bench): Add memcpy.
This change synchronizes the glibc headers with the Linux kernel
headers and arranges to coordinate the definition of structures
already defined the Linux kernel UAPI headers.
It is now safe to include glibc's netinet/in.h or Linux's linux/in6.h
in any order in a userspace application and you will get the same
ABI. The ABI is guaranteed by UAPI and glibc.
Since fanotify_init requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to work (which usually
means running as root), we need to handle that error case too.

Switch the string benchmarks to using bench-timing.h instead
of hp-timing.h directly. This allows the string benchmarks to
be run usefully on architectures such as ARM that do not have
support for hp-timing.h.
In order to do this the tests have been changed from timing each
individual call and picking the lowest execution time recorded to
timing a number of calls and taking the mean execution time.
ChangeLog:
2013-09-04 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_PRINT_MEAN): New macro.
* benchtests/bench-string.h: Include bench-timing.h instead
of including hp-timing.h directly. (INNER_LOOP_ITERS): New
define. (HP_TIMING_BEST): Delete macro. (test_init): Remove
call to HP_TIMING_DIFF_INIT.
* benchtests/bench-memccpy.c: Use bench-timing.h macros
instead of hp-timing.h macros.
* benchtests/bench-memchr.c: Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memcmp.c: Likewise.

Another example of all the 64bit arches getting the definition via a
common file, but the 32bit ones all adding it by themselves and hppa
was missed.
I'm not entirely sure about the usage of GLIBC_2.19 symbols here.
We'd like to backport this so people can use it, but it means we'd
be releasing a glibc-2.17/glibc-2.18 with a GLIBC_2.19 symbol in it.
But maybe it won't be a big deal since you'd only get that 2.19 ref
if you actually used the symbol ?
There hasn't been a glibc release where hppa worked w/out a bunch of
patches, so in reality there's only two distros that matter -- Gentoo
and Debian.

These have helped me find and fix type conversion issues in QEMU's MIPS
hardware emulation. While certainly glibc is not the best place for such
tests, they're just an enhancement of tests already present.
Since the dlopen funcs might invoke a constructor that calls a func
that is in the same compilation unit as the caller, we cannot mark
them as leaf funcs.
Similarly, dlclose might invoke a destructor that calls a func that
is in the same compilation unit as the caller.
