This patch fixes bug 16337, ldbl-128 lgammal spurious overflows for
small negative arguments (the arguments in question are already in the
testsuite). The implementation uses the reflection formula to compute
lgamma of negative x from lgamma of -x, effectively resulting in a
calculation -log(x^2) + log(-x); cancellation isn't problematic in
this case (bugs for problematic cancellation in lgamma are 2542, 2543,
2558), but the x^2 calculation can underflow (in which case there is
spurious logic to return an overflowing value - lgamma can only ever
correctly overflow for large positive arguments, though tgamma can
overflow for small arguments of either sign as well as large positive
arguments). The fix is simply to calculate the result directly with
logl when the argument is a small enough negative number.
Tested mips64.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128/e_lgammal_r.c (__ieee754_lgammal_r):
Calculate results for small negative arguments directly rather
than using reflection formula with special underflow handling.
As discussed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-04/msg00840.html> and
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-04/msg00989.html>, it seems
appropriate to flatten sysdeps/unix/bsd/bsd4.4 into sysdeps/unix/bsd.
The bulk of the patch is just moving files. The only other changes
are: update paths in sysdeps/mach/hurd/Implies and
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wait3.c; merge the two syscalls.list files,
with the removal of syscalls that were in
sysdeps/unix/bsd/syscalls.list but overridden in the bsd4.4 directory
by .c files there.
Tested x86_64. The installed shared libraries are identical before
and after the patch except for libc.so where the move of wait3.c
(included by sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wait3.c) affects debug info, but
the disassembly is unchanged.

This patch fixes bug 16356, bad results from x86 / x86_64 expl /
exp10l in directed rounding modes, the most serious of the bugs shown
up by my patch expanding libm test coverage. When I fixed bug 16293,
I thought it was only necessary to set round-to-nearest when using
frndint in expm1 functions, because in other cases the cancellation
error from having the resulting fractional part close to 1 or -1 would
not be significant. However, in expl and exp10l, the way the final
fractional part gets computed (something more complicated than a
simple subtraction, because more precision is needed than you'd get
that way) can result in a value outside the range [-1, 1] when the
argument to frndint was very close to an integer and was rounded the
"wrong" way because of the rounding mode - and the f2xm1 instruction
has undefined results if its argument is outside [-1, 1], so resulting
in the large errors seen. So this patch removes the USE_AS_EXPM1L
conditionals on the round-to-nearest settings, so all of expl, expm1l
and exp10l now get round-to-nearest used for frndint (meaning the
final fractional part can at most be slightly above 0.5 in
magnitude). Associated tests of exp and exp10 are added and testing
of exp10 in directed rounding modes enabled.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.

Various libm functions have inadequate test coverage in libm-test.inc
/ auto-libm-test-in - failing to cover all the usual special cases
(infinities, NaNs, zero, large and small finite values, subnormals) as
well as a reasonable range of ordinary inputs and, where appropriate,
inputs close to the thresholds for underflow and overflow.
This patch improves test coverage for real functions [a-c]* (with the
expectation of adding more coverage for other functions later).
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly (and eight glibc
bugs and one C11 DR filed for issues found in the process).

This patch moves tests of ccos, ccosh, cexp, clog, csqrt, ctan and
ctanh to auto-libm-test-in, adding the required support to
gen-auto-libm-tests. Other TEST_c_c functions aren't moved for now
(although the relevant table entries are put in gen-auto-libm-tests
for it to know how to handle them): clog10 because of a known MPC bug
causing it to hang for at least some pure imaginary inputs (fixed in
SVN, but I'd rather not rely on unreleased versions of MPFR or MPC
even if relying on very recent releases); the inverse trig and
hyperbolic functions because of known slowness in special cases; and
csin / csinh because of observed slowness that I need to investigate
and report to the MPC maintainers. Slowness can be bypassed by moving
to incremental generation (only for new / changed tests) rather than
regenerating the whole of auto-libm-test-out every time, but that
needs implementing. (This patch takes the time for running
gen-auto-libm-tests from about one second to seven, on my system,
which I think is reasonable. The slow functions would make it take
several minutes at least, which seems unreasonable.)

This patch consolidates the multiple copies of code that looks up sin
and cos of a number from the lookup table and computes the final
value, into static functions. This does not have a noticeable
performance impact since the functions are inlined by gcc.
There is further scope for consolidation in the functions but they
cause a more noticable impact on performance (>5%) due to which I have
held back on them.
Removed more redundant computations in the slow paths of the sin and
cos functions. The notable change is the passing of the most
significant bits of X to the slow functions to check if X is positive
so that just the absolute value of x can be passed and the repeated
ABS() operation is avoided.
There are multiple points in the code where the absolute value of a
number is computed multiple times or is computed even though the value
can only be positive. This change removes those redundant
computations. Tested on x86_64 to verify that there were no
regressions in the testsuite.
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.

math/gen-libm-test.pl has code to beautify names of various constants,
transforming the source form in libm-test.inc into the version
appearing in test names in libm-test-ulps files.
This has become decreasingly relevant over time for the M_* constants,
first as I changed the test names so only the arguments and not the
expected results appeared in them, then as tests have moved to
auto-libm-test-* so that automatically generated hex float constants
get used instead of M_* in test inputs.
This patch removes the beautification for all M_* constants. Tested
x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly. Even the one case where
this affected the name in the ulps files will disappear once complex
function tests are moved to auto-libm-test-*.

Bug 16293 is inaccuracy of x86/x86_64 versions of expm1, near 0 in
directed rounding modes, that arises from frndint rounding the
exponent to 1 or -1 instead of 0, resulting in large cancellation
error. This inaccuracy in turn affects other functions such as sinh
that use expm1. This patch fixes the problem by setting
round-to-nearest mode temporarily around the affected calls to
frndint. I don't think this is needed for other uses of frndint, such
as in exp itself, as only for expm1 is the cancellation error
significant.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.

My recent changes that added libm_hidden_proto / libm_hidden_def for

This patch fixes bug 16338, ldbl-128 logl not handling subnormals
(with consequent inaccuracy for lgammal as well). The fix is simply
to use __frexpl when determining the exponent, as done already in
log2l and log10l. Given the lack of testing of small arguments to any
of the log* functions, appropriate tests are added for all of them.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly, and spot tests
also run for mips64 to confirm the ldbl-128 fix.
Note that while this fixes lgammal inaccuracy for small positive
arguments, I suspect that there will still be problems with spurious
underflows in that case.

- Remove redundant mynumber union definitions
- Clean up a clumsy ternary operator

sin Taylor series in it.
A sse42 version of strstr used pcmpistr instruction which is quite
ineffective. A faster way is look for pairs of characters which is uses
sse2, is faster than pcmpistr and for real strings a pairs we look for
are relatively rare.
For linear time complexity we use buy or rent technique which switches
to two-way algorithm when superlinear behaviour is detected.
For PPC64, all the wrappers at sysdeps are superfluous: they are
basically the same implementation from math/w_sqrt.c with the
'#ifdef _IEEE_LIBM'. And the power4 version just force the 'fsqrt'
instruction utilization with an inline assembly, which is already
handled by math_private.h __ieee754_sqrt implementation.
This patch add optimized __mpn_addmul, __mpn_addsub, __mpn_lshift, and
__mpn_mul_1 implementations for PowerPC64. They are originally from GMP
with adjustments for GLIBC.
This patch add static probes for setjmp/longjmp in the way gdb expects,fixing
the gdb.base/longjmp.exp gdb testcases.
It changes the symbol_name and use macros to to avoid change the probe names
and ending up adding more logic on GDB (since with the expected name
GDB work seamlessly).
To avoid having a ELFv2 binary accidentally picking up an old ABI ld.so,
this patch bumps the soname to ld64.so.2.
In theory (or for testing purposes) this will also allow co-installing
ld.so versions for both ABIs on the same system. Note that the kernel
will already be able to load executables of both ABIs. However, there
is currently no plan to use that theoretical possibility in a any
supported distribution environment ...
Note that in order to check which ABI to use, we need to invoke the
compiler to check the _CALL_ELF macro; this is done in a new configure
check in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/configure.ac,
replacing the hard-coded value of default-abi in the Makefile.
The ELFv2 ABI changes the calling convention by passing and returning
structures in registers in more cases than the old ABI:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01145.htmlhttp://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01147.html
For the most part, this does not affect glibc, since glibc assembler
files do not use structure parameters / return values. However, one
place is affected: the LD_AUDIT interface provides a structure to
the audit routine that contains all registers holding function
argument and return values for the intercepted PLT call.
Since the new ABI now sometimes uses registers to return values
that were never used for this purpose in the old ABI, this structure
has to be extended. To force audit routines to be modified for the
new ABI if necessary, the patch defines v2 variants of the la_ppc64
types and routines.
In addition, the patch contains two unrelated changes to the
PLT trampoline routines: it fixes a bug where FPR return values
were stored in the wrong place, and it removes the unnecessary
save/restore of CR.
This updates glibc for the changes in the ELFv2 relating to the
stack frame layout. These are described in more detail here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01149.htmlhttp://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01146.html
Specifically, the "compiler and linker doublewords" were removed,
which has the effect that the save slot for the TOC register is
now at offset 24 rather than 40 to the stack pointer.
In addition, a function may now no longer necessarily assume that
its caller has set up a 64-byte register save area its use.
To address the first change, the patch goes through all assembler
files and replaces immediate offsets in instructions accessing the
ABI-defined stack slots by symbolic offsets. Those already were
defined in ucontext_i.sym and used in some of the context routines,
but that doesn't really seem like the right place for those defines.
The patch instead defines those symbolic offsets in sysdeps.h,
in two variants for the old and new ABI, and uses them systematically
in all assembler files, not just the context routines.
The second change only affected a few assembler files that used
the save area to temporarily store some registers. In those
cases where this happens within a leaf function, this patch
changes the code to store those registers to the "red zone"
below the stack pointer. Otherwise, the functions already allocate
a stack frame, and the patch changes them to add extra space in
these frames as temporary space for the ELFv2 ABI.
This is a follow-on to the previous patch to support the ELFv2 ABI in the
dynamic loader, split off into its own patch since it is just an optional
optimization.
In the ELFv2 ABI, most functions define both a global and a local entry
point; the local entry requires r2 to be already set up by the caller
to point to the callee's TOC; while the global entry does not require
the caller to know about the callee's TOC, but it needs to set up r12
to the callee's entry point address.
Now, when setting up a PLT slot, the dynamic linker will usually need
to enter the target function's global entry point. However, if the
linker can prove that the target function is in the same DSO as the
PLT slot itself, and the whole DSO only uses a single TOC (which the
linker will let ld.so know via a DT_PPC64_OPT entry), then it is
possible to actually enter the local entry point address into the
PLT slot, for a slight improvement in performance.
Note that this uncovered a problem on the first call via _dl_runtime_resolve,
because that routine neglected to restore the caller's TOC before calling
the target function for the first time, since it assumed that function
would always reload its own TOC anyway ...
This patch adds support for the ELFv2 ABI feature to remove function
descriptors. See this GCC patch for in-depth discussion:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01141.html
This mostly involves two types of changes: updating assembler source
files to the new logic, and updating the dynamic loader.
After the refactoring in the previous patch, most of the assembler source
changes can be handled simply by providing ELFv2 versions of the
macros in sysdep.h. One somewhat non-obvious change is in __GI__setjmp:
this used to "fall through" to the immediately following __setjmp ENTRY
point. This is no longer safe in the ELFv2 since ENTRY defines both
a global and a local entry point, and you cannot simply fall through
to a global entry point as it requires r12 to be set up.
Also, makecontext needs to be updated to set up registers according to
the new ABI for calling into the context's start routine.
The dynamic linker changes mostly consist of removing special code
to handle function descriptors. We also need to support the new PLT
and glink format used by the the ELFv2 linker, see:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-10/msg00376.html
In addition, the dynamic linker now verifies that the dynamic libraries
it loads match its own ABI.
The hack in VDSO_IFUNC_RET to "synthesize" a function descriptor
for vDSO routines is also no longer necessary for ELFv2.
This is the first patch to support the new ELFv2 ABI in glibc.
As preparation, this patch simply refactors some of the powerpc64 assembler
code to move all code related to creating function descriptors (.opd section)
or using function descriptors (function pointer call) into a central place
in sysdep.h.
Note that most locations creating .opd entries were already using macros
in sysdep.h, this patch simply extends this to the remaining places.
No relevant change in generated code expected.
This patch updates glibc in accordance with the binutils patch checked in here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-10/msg00372.html
This changes the various R_PPC64_..._HI and _HA relocations to report
32-bit overflows. The motivation is that existing uses of @h / @ha
are to build up 32-bit offsets (for the "medium model" TOC access
that GCC now defaults to), and we'd really like to see failures at
link / load time rather than silent truncations.
For those rare cases where a modifier is needed to build up a 64-bit
constant, new relocations _HIGH / _HIGHA are supported.
The patch also fixes a bug in overflow checking for the R_PPC64_ADDR30
and R_PPC64_ADDR32 relocations.
The context established by "makecontext" has a link register pointing
back to an error path within the makecontext routine. This is currently
covered by the CFI FDE for makecontext itself, which is simply wrong
for the stack frame *inside* the context. When trying to unwind (e.g.
doing a backtrace) in a routine inside a context created by makecontext,
this can lead to uninitialized stack slots being accessed, causing the
unwinder to crash in the worst case.
Similarly, during parts of the "setcontext" routine, when the stack
pointer has already been switched to point to the new context, the
address range is still covered by the CFI FDE for setcontext. When
trying to unwind in that situation (e.g. backtrace from an async
signal handler for profiling), it is again possible that the unwinder
crashes.
Theses are all problems in existing code, but the changes in stack
frame layout appear to make the "worst case" much more likely in
the ELFv2 ABI context. This causes regressions e.g. in the libgo
testsuite on ELFv2.
This patch fixes this by ending the makecontext/setcontext FDEs
before those problematic parts of the assembler, similar to what
is already done on other platforms. This fixes the libgo
regression on ELFv2.
Only gaih_inet() and gaih_inet_serv() use a special bit flag denoted
by the GAIH_OKIFUNSPEC macro. Only the return value of
gaih_inet_serv() is actively checked for the bit flag which is
redundant because it just copies the nonzero property of the value
otherwise returned. The return value of gaih_inet() is only checked
for being zero and then the bit flag is filtered out. As the bit flag
is set only for otherwise nonzero return values, it doesn't affect the
zero comparison. GAIH_EAI just an alias to ~GAIH_OKIFUNSPEC.
The event code is PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP, not PTRAVE_EVENT_SECCOMP.
This patch fixes the V->C typo. There are no ABI issues since the
number remains the same for the code. Code using the old wrong
name will need to be updated.
