One special case needed in soft-fp to replace the old version in the
Linux kernel is extending from a narrower floating-point format to a
wider one without quieting signaling NaNs. (This is for
arch/powerpc/math-emu/lfs.c, where previously it used the old FP_CONV
which didn't do anything special for NaNs, then handled packing
specially for NaNs to avoid quieting at packing time, and discarded
the exceptions from unpacking.)
This patch accordingly refactors FP_EXTEND, creating a separate
_FP_EXTEND_CNAN that offers a choice of how NaNs are handled, with
FP_EXTEND reimplemented as a wrapper that provides the common case of
the IEEE operation that does quiet signaling NaNs and raise exceptions
for them.
Tested for powerpc (e500) that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.
* soft-fp/op-common.h (FP_EXTEND): Rename to _FP_EXTEND_CNAN with
extra argument CHECK_NAN. Redefine as wrapper around
_FP_EXTEND_CNAN.
This reverts part of the previous commit to refactor pthread.h.
The refactoring must be done by having pthread.h include arch
bits headers, not the other way around. Then hppa provides the
arch bits header. For now we synchronzie again with pthread.h
and include the entire contents in the hppa copy.
BZ #16618
Under certain conditions wscanf can allocate too little memory for the
to-be-scanned arguments and overflow the allocated buffer. The
implementation now correctly computes the required buffer size when
using malloc.
A regression test was added to tst-sscanf.
Update all translations.
Update contributions in the manual.
Update installation notes with information about newest working tools.
Reconfigure using exactly autoconf 2.69.
Regenerate INSTALL.
(1) Fix warnings.
This is a bulk update to fix all the warnings that were causing
build failures with -Werror on hppa.
The most egregious problems are in dl-fptr.c which needs to be
entirely rewritten, thus I've used -Wno-error for that.
(2) Fix conformance errors.
The sysdep.c file had __syscall_error and syscall in one file
which caused conformance issues by including syscall when
__syscall_error was linked to. The fix is obviously to split
the file and use syscall.c to implement syscall.

Fix the warning by initializing the structure.
This is because of alignment issues in the sem_t support.
tilegx32 does in fact support 64-bit atomics and we will need
to revisit this after the 2.21 freeze.
This patch disables use of 64-bit atomics for MIPS n32 to fix the
problems with unaligned semaphores.
Before 64-bit atomics are used for anything for which such alignment
issues do not arise, and before the addition of any new ILP32 ports
with 64-bit semaphores for which the ABI can be set to have the
greater alignment (AARCH64?), a better approach will need to be
established that allows architectures to declare their 64-bit atomics
availability accurately, without doing so causing inappropriate use of
such atomics on unaligned semaphores.
Tested for MIPS n32 that this fixes the nptl/tst-sem3 failure.
* sysdeps/mips/bits/atomic.h [_MIPS_SIM == _ABIN32]
(__HAVE_64B_ATOMICS): Define to 0.
This patch fixes a bug introduced by 18f2945ae9, where it optimizes
the FPSCR set by just issuing a mtfs instruction if new flag is different
from older one. The issue is a typo, where the new flag should the the
new value, instead of the old one.
It fixes BZ#17885.
Some powerpc64 processors (e5500 core for instance) does not provide the
fsqrt instruction, however current check to use in math_private.h is
__WORDSIZE and _ARCH_PWR4 (ISA 2.02). This is patch change it to use
the compiler flag _ARCH_PPCSQ (which is the same condition GCC uses to
decide whether to generate fsqrt instruction).
It fixes BZ#16576.
GLIBC memset optimization for POWER8 uses the '.machine power8'
directive, which is only supported officially on binutils 2.24+. This
causes a build failure on older binutils.
Since the requirement of .machine power8 is to correctly assembly the
'mtvsrd' instruction and it is already handled by the MTVSRD_V1_R4
macro, there is no really needed of using it.
The patch replaces the power8 with power7 for .machine directive.
It fixes BZ#17869.
This patch fix the elf/ifuncmain6pie failure when building with GCC
4.9+. For some reason, the compiler removes the branch taken code at
resolve_ifunc (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h) as dead-code
and thus the testcase fails because the ifunc resolves branches to an
invalid memory location. It fixes by explicit adding a dependency of
value based on odp variable to avoid compiler optimization.
It fixes BZ#17868.
This patch replaces unsigned long int and 1UL with uint64_t and
(uint64_t) 1 to support ILP32 targets like x32.

* nptl/sem_post.c (__new_sem_post): Replace unsigned long int

soft-fp has various macros containing labels and goto statements.
Because label names are function-scoped, this is problematic for using
the same macro more than once within a function, which some
architectures do in the Linux kernel (the soft-fp version there
predates the addition of any of these labels and gotos). This patch
fixes this by using __label__ to make the labels local to the block
with the __label__ declaration.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.
* soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_ADD_INTERNAL): Declare labels with
__label__.
(_FP_FMA): Likewise.
(_FP_TO_INT_ROUND): Likewise.

This patch fix powerpc __get_clockfreq racy and cancel-safe issues by
dropping internal static cache and by using nocancel file operations.
The vDSO failure check is also removed, since kernel code does not
return an error (it cleans cr0.so bit on function return) and the static
code (to read value /proc) now uses non-cancellable calls.
The test is rewritten to look for the testable conditions and
exit once they are all detected. This prevents the test from
iterating over 2000 UIDs and looking up each one. It speeds up
the test and prevents it from failing if the system under test
has an NSS-based passwd that is slower than the test timeout.

The ability to recursively call dlopen is useful for malloc
implementations that wish to load other dynamic modules that
implement reentrant/AS-safe functions to use in their own
implementation.
Given that a user malloc implementation may be called by an
ongoing dlopen to allocate memory the user malloc
implementation interrupts dlopen and if it calls dlopen again
that's a reentrant call.
This patch fixes the issues with the ld.so.cache mapping
and the _r_debug assertion which prevent this from working
as expected.

This commit fixes semaphore destruction by either using 64b atomic
operations (where available), or by using two separate fields when only
32b atomic operations are available. In the latter case, we keep a
conservative estimate of whether there are any waiting threads in one
bit of the field that counts the number of available tokens, thus
allowing sem_post to atomically both add a token and determine whether
it needs to call futex_wake.

When fixing namespace issues for <fenv.h> functions I missed one call
to fesetenv for powerpc-nofpu. This patch changes this to a call to
__fesetenv.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu; it fixes the previously observed math.h
linknamespace test failures.
[BZ #17748]
* sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/feholdexcpt.c (__feholdexcept): Call
__fesetenv instead of fesetenv.
commit 050f7298e1 added an extern
declaration for __tls_get_addr that conflicts with the one in s390
dl-tls.h, based on whether __tls_get_addr is defined as a macro. The
rationale seems to be based on the assumption that __tls_get_addr is
exported for every architecture and hence an internal non-plt alias is
needed. This is not true for s390 though, since it exports
__tls_get_offset and not __tls_get_addr. This results in tst-audit9
being stuck in an infinite loop.
This patch fixes this by defining a __tls_get_addr macro to itself so
as to not use the conflicting declaration.
This patch fixes a performance regression on the POWER7/PPC64 memcmp
porting for Little Endian. The LE code uses 'ldbrx' instruction to read
the memory on byte reversed form, however ISA 2.06 just provide the indexed
form which uses a register value as additional index, instead of a fixed value
enconded in the instruction.
And the port strategy for LE uses r0 index value and update the address
value on each compare loop interation. For large compare size values,
it adds 8 more instructions plus some more depending of trailing
size. This patch fixes it by adding pre-calculate indexes to remove the
address update on loops and tailing sizes.
For large sizes it shows a considerable gain, with double performance
pairing with BE.
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strncmp. The implementation focus
on speeding up unaligned cases follwing the ideas of power8 strcmp.
The algorithm first check the initial 16 bytes, then align the first
function source and uses unaligned loads on second argument only.
Aditional checks for page boundaries are done for unaligned cases
(where sources alignment are different).
