This patch adds 32bit SSE4.2 string functions. It uses -16L instead of
0xfffffffffffffff0L, which works for both 32bit and 64bit long. Tested
on 32bit Core i7 and Core 2.
This patch adds multiarch support when configured for i686. I modified
some x86-64 functions to support 32bit. I will contribute 32bit SSE string
and memory functions later.
obstack calls several callbacks, so on i?86 it'd better be compiled
without -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2, otherwise the callbacks are called
with misaligned stack.
We use sigaltstack internally which on some systems is a syscall
and should be used as such. Move the x86-64 version to the Linux
specific directory and create in its place a file which always
causes compile errors.
SSE registers are used for passing parameters and must be preserved
in runtime relocations. This is inside ld.so enforced through the
tests in tst-xmmymm.sh. But the malloc routines used after startup
come from libc.so and can be arbitrarily complex. It's overkill
to save the SSE registers all the time because of that. These calls
are rare. Instead we save them on demand. The new infrastructure
put in place in this patch makes this possible and efficient.
The test now takes the callgraph into account. Only code called
during runtime relocation is affected by the limitation. We now
determine the affected object files as closely as possible from
the outside. This allowed to remove some the specializations
for some of the string functions as they are only used in other
code paths.
There were several issues when the initial 31 entries hashtab filled up.
size * 3 <= tab->n_elements is always false, table can't have more elements
than its size. I assume from libiberty/hashtab.c this meant to be check for
3/4 full. Even after fixing that, _dl_higher_prime_number (31) apparently
returns 31, only _dl_higher_prime_number (32) returns 61. And, size
variable wasn't updated during reallocation, which means during reallocation
the insertion of the new entry was done into a wrong spot.
All this lead to a hang in ld.so, because a search with n_elements 31 size
31 wouldn't ever terminate.
This patch introduces a test to make sure no function modifies the
xmm/ymm registers. With the exception of the auditing functions.
The test is probably too pessimistic. All code linked into ld.so
is checked. Perhaps at some point the callgraph starting from
_dl_fixup and _dl_profile_fixup is checked and we can start using
faster SSE-using functions in parts of ld.so.
There will be more than one function which, in multiarch mode, wants
to use SSSE3. We should not test in each of them for Atoms with
slow SSSE3. Instead, disable the SSSE3 bit in the startup code for
such machines.
The posix/tst-rfc3484* test cases caused warnings in newer gccs
because the unused but copied sin_zero part of sockaddr_in wasn't
explicitly initialized.
If a locale does not have 8-bit characters with case conversion which
are different from the ASCII conversion (±0x20) then we can perform
some optimizations. These will follow later.
In EDNS0 records the maximum result size is transmitted in a 16
bit value. Large buffer sizes were handled incorrectly by using
only the low 16 bits. Fix this by limiting the size to 0xffff.
The commit 20e498bd removes the pthread_mutex_rdlock() calls, but not the
corresponding pthread_mutex_unlock() calls. Also, the database lock is never
unlocked in one branch of the mempool_alloc() if.
I think unreproducible random assert(dh->usable) crashes in prune_cache() were
caused by this. But an easy way to make nscd threads hang with the broken
locking was.
