Commit c7debbdfac redirected the internal strrch to default powerpc64
implementation by redefining the weak_alias at
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strchr-ppc64.c:
#undef weak_alias
#define weak_alias(name, aliasname) \
extern __typeof (__strrchr_ppc) aliasname \
__attribute__ ((weak, alias ("__strrchr_ppc")));
This creates a __GI_strchr alias that clashes with the IFUNC symbol in
stprchr.os. There is not need to define the default version for internal
version, since ifunc should work internally for powerpc64. This patch
removes the weak_alias indirection.
Checked on powerpc64le.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strrchr-ppc64.c (weak_alias):
Remove redirection to __strrchr_ppc.
Commit 142e0a9953 redirected the internal stpcpy to default powerpc64

#define weak_alias(name, aliasname) \
extern __typeof (__stpcpy_ppc) aliasname \

Building glibc for powerpc64 with recent (2.27.51.20161012) binutils,
with multi-arch enabled, I get the error:
../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power6/memset.S: Assembler messages:

Indeed, cmpli is documented as a four-operand instruction, and looking
at nearby code it seems likely cmpldi was intended. This patch fixes
this powerpc64 code accordingly, and makes a corresponding change to
the powerpc32 code.

The powerpc (hard-float) implementations of copysignl, both 32-bit and
64-bit, raise spurious "invalid" exceptions when the first argument is
a signaling NaN. copysign functions should never raise exceptions
even for signaling NaNs.
The problem is the use of an fcmpu instruction to test the sign of the
high part of the long double argument. This patch fixes the functions
to use fsel instead (as used for fabsl following my fixes for a
similar bug there), or to examine the integer representation for older
32-bit processors without fsel.
Tested for powerpc64 and powerpc32 (configurations with and without
fsel used).

The current s390 ifunc resolver for vector optimized functions and the common
libc_ifunc macro in include/libc-symbols.h uses something like that to generate ifunc'ed functions:
extern void *__resolve___strlen(unsigned long int dl_hwcap) asm (strlen);
asm (".type strlen, %gnu_indirect_function");
This leads to false debug information:
objdump --dwarf=info libc.so:

The debuginfo for the ifunc-resolver function contains the DW_AT_linkage_name
field, which names the real function name "strlen". If you perform an inferior
function call to strlen in lldb, then it fails due to something like that:
"error: no matching function for call to 'strlen'
candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'const char [6]'
to 'unsigned long' for 1st argument"
The unsigned long is the dl_hwcap argument of the resolver function.
The strlen function itself has no debufinfo.
The s390 ifunc resolver for memset & co uses something like that:
asm (".globl FUNC"
".type FUNC, @gnu_indirect_function"
".set FUNC, __resolve_FUNC");
This way the debuginfo for the ifunc-resolver function does not conain the
DW_AT_linkage_name field and the real function has no debuginfo, too.
Using this strategy for the vector optimized functions leads to some troubles
for functions like strnlen. Here we have __strnlen and a weak alias strnlen.
The __strnlen function is the ifunc function, which is realized with the asm-
statement above. The weak_alias-macro can't be used here due to undefined symbol:
gcc ../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c -c ...
In file included from <command-line>:0:0:
../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c:28:24: error: ‘strnlen’ aliased to undefined symbol ‘__strnlen’

weak_alias (__strnlen, strnlen)
^
make[2]: *** [build/string/strnlen.o] Error 1
As the __strnlen function is defined with asm-statements the function name
__strnlen isn't known by gcc. But the weak alias can also be done with an
asm statement to resolve this issue:
__asm__ (".weak strnlen\n\t"
".set strnlen,__strnlen\n");
In order to use the weak_alias macro, gcc needs to know the ifunc function. The
minimum gcc to build glibc is currently 4.7, which supports attribute((ifunc)).
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/Function-Attributes.html.
It is only supported if gcc is configured with --enable-gnu-indirect-function
or gcc supports it by default for at least intel and s390x architecture.
This patch uses the old behaviour if gcc support is not available.
Usage of attribute ifunc is something like that:
__typeof (FUNC) FUNC __attribute__ ((ifunc ("__resolve_FUNC")));
Then gcc produces the same .globl, .type, .set assembler instructions like above.
And the debuginfo does not contain the DW_AT_linkage_name field and there is no
debuginfo for the real function, too.
But in order to get it work, there is also some extra work to do.
Currently, the glibc internal symbol on s390x e.g. __GI___strnlen is not the
ifunc symbol, but the fallback __strnlen_c symbol. Thus I have to omit the
libc_hidden_def macro in strnlen.c (here is the ifunc function __strnlen)
because it is already handled in strnlen-c.c (here is __strnlen_c).
Due to libc_hidden_proto (__strnlen) in string.h, compiling fails:
gcc ../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c -c ...
In file included from <command-line>:0:0:
../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c:53:24: error: ‘strnlen’ aliased to undefined symbol ‘__strnlen’

make[2]: *** [build/string/strnlen.os] Error 1
I have to redirect the prototypes for __strnlen in string.h and create a copy
of the prototype for using as ifunc function:
__typeof (__redirect___strnlen) __strnlen __attribute__ ((ifunc ("__resolve_strnlen")));
weak_alias (__strnlen, strnlen)
This way there is no trouble with the internal __GI_* symbols.
Glibc builds fine with this construct and the debuginfo is "correct".
For functions without a __GI_* symbol like memccpy this redirection is not needed.
This patch adjusts the common libc_ifunc and libm_ifunc macro to use gcc
attribute ifunc. Due to this change, the macro users where the __GI_* symbol
does not target the ifunc symbol have to be prepared with the redirection
construct.
Furthermore a configure check to test gcc support is added. If it is not supported,
the old behaviour is used.
This patch also prepares the libc_ifunc macro to be useable in s390-ifunc-macro.
The s390 ifunc-resolver-functions do have an hwcaps parameter and not all
resolvers need the same initialization code. The next patch in this series
changes the s390 ifunc macros to use this common one.

If the input values are unaligned and if there are null characters in the
memory before the starting address of the input values, strcasecmp
gives incorrect return code. Fixed it by adding mask the bits that
are not part of the string.
This implementation is based on the one already used at
sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/e_expf.S.
This implementation improves the performance by ~14% on average in synthetic
benchmarks at the cost of decreasing accuracy to 1 ULP.
atomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_rel and
catomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_rel are removed and replaced with the
new C11-like atomic_compare_exchange_weak_release. The concurrent code
in nscd/cache.c has not been reviewed yet, so this patch does not add
detailed comments.

Some architectures have their own versions of fdim functions, which
are missing errno setting (bug 6796) and may also return sNaN instead
of qNaN for sNaN input, in the case of the x86 / x86_64 long double
versions (bug 20256).
These versions are not actually doing anything that a compiler
couldn't generate, just straightforward comparisons / arithmetic (and,
in the x86 / x86_64 case, testing for NaNs with fxam, which isn't
actually needed once you use an unordered comparison and let the NaNs
pass through the same subtraction as non-NaN inputs). This patch
removes the x86 / x86_64 / powerpc versions, so that those
architectures use the generic C versions, which correctly handle
setting errno and deal properly with sNaN inputs. This seems better
than dealing with setting errno in lots of .S versions.
The i386 versions also return results with excess range and precision,
which is not appropriate for a function exactly defined by reference
to IEEE operations. For errno setting to work correctly on overflow,
it's necessary to remove excess range with math_narrow_eval, which
this patch duly does in the float and double versions so that the
tests can reliably pass on x86. For float, this avoids any double
rounding issues as the long double precision is more than twice that
of float. For double, double rounding issues will need to be
addressed separately, so this patch does not fully fix bug 20255.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and powerpc.

The powerpc implementations of fabsl for ldbl-128ibm (both powerpc32
and powerpc64) wrongly raise the "invalid" exception for sNaN
arguments. fabs functions should be quiet for all inputs including
signaling NaNs. The problem is the use of a comparison instruction
fcmpu to determine if the high part of the argument is negative and so
the low part needs to be negated; such instructions raise "invalid"
for sNaNs.
There is a pure integer implementation of fabsl in
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_fabsl.c. However, it's not necessary to
use it to avoid such exceptions. The fsel instruction does not raise
exceptions for sNaNs, and can be used in place of the original
comparison. (Note that if the high part is zero or a NaN, it does not
matter whether the low part is negated; the choice of whether the low
part of a zero is +0 or -0 does not affect the value, and the low part
of a NaN does not affect the value / payload either.)
The condition in GCC for fsel to be available is TARGET_PPC_GFXOPT,
corresponding to the _ARCH_PPCGR predefined macro. fsel is available
on all 64-bit processors supported by GCC. A few 32-bit processors
supported by GCC do not have TARGET_PPC_GFXOPT despite having hard
float support. To support those processors, integer code (similar to
that in copysignl) is included for the !_ARCH_PPCGR case for
powerpc32.
Tested for powerpc32 (configurations with and without _ARCH_PPCGR) and
powerpc64.
[BZ #20157]
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu/s_fabsl.S (__fabsl): Use fsel to

determine whether to negate low half.
Continuing fixes for ceil, floor and trunc functions not to raise the
"inexact" exception, this patch fixes the versions used on older
powerpc64 processors. As was done with the round implementations some
time ago, the save of floating-point state is moved after the first
floating-point operation on the input to ensure that any "invalid"
exception from signaling NaN input is included in the saved state, and
then the whole state gets restored rather than just the rounding mode.
This has no effect on configurations using the power5+ code, since
such processors can do these operations with a single instruction (and
those instructions do not set "inexact", so are correct for TS 18661-1
semantics).
Tested for powerpc64.
[BZ #15479]

The file sysdeps/powerpc/sysdeps.h defines aliases for condition register
operands. E.g.: 'cr7' means condition register 7. On the one hand, this
increases readability, as it makes it easier for readers to know whether the
operand is a condition register, a general purpose register or an immediate.
On the other hand, this permits that condition registers be written as if they
were general purpose, and vice-versa, thus reducing the readability of the
code.
This commit removes some of these unintentional misuses.
The changes have no effect on the final code. Checked with objdump.
Call __memset_power8 to pad, with zeros, the remaining bytes in the
dest string on __strncpy_power8 and __stpncpy_power8. This improves
performance when n is larger than the input string, giving ~30% gain for
larger strings without impacting much shorter strings.
This patch optimizes strcasestr function for power >= 8 systems. The average
improvement of this optimization is ~40% and compares 16 bytes at a time
using vector instructions. This patch is tested on powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
This utilizes vectors and bitmasks. For small needle, large
haystack, the performance improvement is upto 8x. For short
strings (0-4B), the cost of computing the bitmask dominates,
and is a tad slower.
This patch removes the powerpc64 optimized strspn, strcspn, and
strpbrk assembly implementation now that the default C one
implements the same strategy. On internal glibc benchtests
current implementations shows similar performance with -O2.
Tested on powerpc64le (POWER8).

This patch adds a new feature for powerpc. In order to get faster access to
the HWCAP/HWCAP2 bits and platform number (i.e. for implementing
__builtin_cpu_is () / __builtin_cpu_supports () in GCC) without the overhead of
reading from the auxiliary vector, we now reserve space for them in the TCB.
This is an ABI change for GLIBC 2.23.
A new versioned symbol '__parse_hwcap_and_convert_at_platform' is available to
get the data from the auxiliary vector and parse it, and store it for later use
in the TLS initialization code. This function is called very early
(in _dl_sysdep_start () via DL_PLATFORM_INFO for the dynamic linking case, and
in __libc_start_main () for the static linking case) to make sure the data is
available at the time of TLS initialization.

The powerpc hard-float round and roundf functions, both 32-bit and
64-bit, raise spurious "inexact" exceptions for integer arguments from
adding 0.5 and rounding to integer toward zero.
Since these functions already save and restore the rounding mode, it's
natural to make them restore the full floating-point state instead to
fix this bug, which this patch does. The save of the state is moved
after the first floating-point operation on the input so that any
"invalid" exceptions from signaling NaN inputs are properly
preserved. As a consequence of this approach to the fix, "inexact"
for noninteger arguments (disallowed by TS 18661-1 but not by C99/C11,
see bug 15479) is also avoided for these implementations; this is
*not* a general fix for bug 15479 since plenty of other
implementations of various functions still raise spurious "inexact"
for noninteger arguments.
This issue and fix do not apply to builds using power5+ versions of
round and roundf, which use the frin instruction and avoid "inexact"
exceptions that way.
This patch should get hard-float powerpc32 and powerpc64 (default
function implementations) back to a state where test-float and
test-double will pass after ulps regeneration.
Tested for powerpc32 and powerpc64.

Similar to bug 19134 for powerpc32, the powerpc64 implementations of
lround, lroundf, llround, llroundf can raise spurious "inexact"
exceptions for integer arguments from adding 0.5 then converting to
integer (this does not apply to the power5+ version for double, which
uses the frin instruction which is defined never to raise "inexact"; I
don't know why power5+ doesn't use that version for float as well).
This patch fixes the bug in a similar way to the powerpc32 bug, by
testing for integers (adding and subtracting 2^52 and comparing with
the value before that addition and subtraction) and not adding 0.5 in
that case.
The powerpc maintainers may wish to look at making power5+ / power6x /
power8 use frin for float lround / llround as well as for double,
unless there's some reason I've missed that this isn't beneficial.
Tested for powerpc64.

(.LC2): New object.
Similar to bug 15491 recently fixed for x86_64 / x86, the powerpc
(both powerpc32 and powerpc64) hard-float implementations of
nearbyintf and nearbyint wrongly clear an "inexact" exception that was
raised before the function was called; this shows up as failure of the
test math/test-nearbyint-except added when that bug was fixed. They
also wrongly leave traps on "inexact" disabled if they were enabled
before the function was called.
This patch fixes the bugs similar to how the x86 bug was fixed: saving
and restoring the whole floating-point state, both to restore the
original "inexact" flag state and to restore the original state of
whether traps on "inexact" were enabled. Because there's a convenient
point in the powerpc implementations to save state after any sNaN
arguments will have raised "invalid" but before "inexact" traps need
to be disabled, no special handling for "invalid" is needed as in the
x86 version.
Tested for powerpc64 and powerpc32, where it fixes the
math/test-nearbyint-except failure as well as fixing the new test
math/test-nearbyint-except-2 added by this patch. Also tested for
x86_64 and x86 that the new test passes.
If powerpc experts see a more efficient way of doing this
(e.g. instruction positioning that's better for pipelines on typical
processors) then of course followups optimizing the fix are welcome.

The file sysdeps/powerpc/sysdeps.h defines aliases for register operands,
which add the letter 'r' as a prefix to a register name. E.g.: register 20
can be written as 'r20', instead of '20'. On the one hand, this increases
readability, as it makes it easier for readers to know whether the operand is a
register or an immediate. On the other hand, this permits that immediate
operands be written as if they were registers, and vice-versa, thus reducing
the readability of the code.
This commit removes some of these unintentional misuses.
This commit also increases readability of the code by adding the prefix 'cr' to
some uses of the control register.
Both changes have no effect on the final code. Checked with objdump.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power8/strncpy.S: Remove or add register
prefix from operands.
It was noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-09/msg00305.html> that the
bits/*.h naming scheme should only be used for installed headers.
This patch renames bits/atomic.h to atomic-machine.h to follow that
convention.
This is the only change in this series that needs to change the
filename rather than simply removing a directory level (because both
atomic.h and bits/atomic.h exist at present).
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).

Fix usage of tabort in generated syscalls. r0 has special meaning
when used with this instruction, thus it will not generate
persistent errors, nor return an error code. This mitigates poor
CPU usage when performing elided critical sections.

invoked syscall. Otherwise the results of the transaction may be
undefined.

IFUNC is difficult to correctly implement on any target needing a GOT
to support position independent code, due to the dependency on order
of dynamic relocations. ld.so should be changed to apply IFUNC
relocations last, globally, because without that it is actually
impossible to write an IFUNC resolver in C that works in all
situations. Case in point, vfork in libpthread.so is an IFUNC with
the resolver returning &__libc_vfork. (system and fork are similar.)
If another shared library, libA say, uses vfork then it is quite
possible that libpthread.so hasn't been dynamically relocated before
the unfortunate libA is dynamically relocated. In that case the GOT
entry for &__libc_vfork is still zero, so the IFUNC resolver returns
NULL. LD_BIND_NOW=1 results in libA PLT dynamic relocations being
applied using this NULL value and ld.so segfaults.
This patch hardens ld.so to not segfault on a NULL from an IFUNC
resolver. It also fixes a problem with undefined weak. If you leave
the plt entry as-is for undefined weak then if the entry is ever
called it will loop in ld.so rather than segfaulting.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_fixup_plt):
Don't segfault if ifunc resolver returns a NULL. Do set plt to
zero for undefined weak.

This patch is glibc support for a PowerPC TLS optimization, inspired
by Alexandre Oliva's TLS optimization for other processors,
http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/writeups/TLS/RFC-TLSDESC-x86.txt
In essence, this optimization uses a zero module id in the tls_index
GOT entry to indicate that a TLS variable is allocated space in the
static TLS area. A special plt call linker stub for __tls_get_addr
checks for such a tls_index and if found, returns the offset
immediately. The linker communicates the fact that the special
__tls_get_addr stub is used by setting a bit in the dynamic tag
DT_PPC64_OPT/DT_PPC_OPT. glibc communicates to the linker that this
optimization is available by the presence of __tls_get_addr_opt.
tst-tlsmod2.so is built with -Wl,--no-tls-get-addr-optimize for
tst-tls-dlinfo, which otherwise would fail since it tests that no
static tls is allocated. The ld option --no-tls-get-addr-optimize has
been available since binutils-2.20 so doesn't need a configure test.

With AIX port deprecated there is no need to check/define
HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME anymore since the current minimum binutils
supported (2.22) does not emit global symbol with dot.
This patch removes all the HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME definition and
checks for powerpc64 port.
This patch fixes the missing "__memcpy_ppc" symbol for memmove-ppc64
object in static builds. Since memcpy ifunc is not enabled in static
mode, the specialized symbols are not provided. The patch changed the
it to just "__memcpy" instead.
This patch optimizes strncpy for power7 for unaligned source or
destination address. The source or destination address is aligned
to doubleword and data is shifted based on the alignment and
added with the previous loaded data to be written as a doubleword.
For each load, cmpb instruction is used for faster null check.
The new optimization shows 10 to 70% of performance improvement
for longer string though it does not show big difference on string
size less than 16 due to additional checks.Hence this new algorithm
is restricted to string greater than 16.
This patch cleanup some multiarch code related to memmmove
optimization. Initial IFUNC support added specialized wordcopy
symbols which turned in local IFUNC calls used by memmove default
implementation. The patch removes the internal IFUNC for wordcopy
symbols and uses local branches in the memmmove optimization instead.
This patch cleanup some multiarch code related to memmmove
optimization. Initial IFUNC support added specialized wordcopy
symbols which turned in local IFUNC calls used by memmove default
implementation.
This change by removing then and used the optimized memmove instead
for supported chips.
This patch simplify the default bcopy symbol for powerpc64 by just using
memmove instead of implementing using the default bcopy. Since the
symbol is deprecated, it trades speed by code size.
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 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).
This patch optimized the POWER7 trailing check by avoiding using byte
read operations and instead use the doubleword already readed with
bitwise operations.
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strcmp using unaligned accesses.
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
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 st{r,p}ncpy using unaligned accesses.
It shows 10%-80% improvement over the optimized POWER7 one that uses
only aligned accesses, specially on unaligned inputs.
The algorithm first read and check 16 bytes (if inputs do not cross a 4K
page size). The it realign source to 16-bytes and issue a 16 bytes read
and compare loop to speedup null byte checks for large strings. Also,
different from POWER7 optimization, the null pad is done inline in the
implementation using possible unaligned accesses, instead of realying on
a memset call. Special case is added for page cross reads.
With 3eb38795db (Simplify strncat) the generic algorithms uses
strlen, strnlen, and memcpy. This is faster than POWER7 current
implementation, especially for unaligned strings (where POWER7 code
uses byte-byte operations).
This patch removes the assembly implementation and uses a multiarch
specialization based on default algorithm calling optimized POWER7
symbols.
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strcpy using unaligned accesses.
For strings up to 16 bytes the implementation first calculate the
string size, like strlen, and issues a memcpy. For larger strings,
source is first aligned to 16 bytes and then tested over a loop that
reads 16 bytes am combine the cmpb results for speedup. Special case is
added for page cross reads.
It shows 30%-60% improvement over the optimized POWER7 one that uses
only aligned accesses.
Linux kernel powerpc documentation states issuing a syscall inside a
transaction is not recommended and may lead to undefined behavior. It
also states syscalls does not abort transactoin neither they run in
transactional state.
To avoid side-effects being visible outside transactions, GLIBC with
lock elision enabled will issue a transaction abort instruction just
before all syscalls if hardware supports hardware transactions.
This patch optimizes strcpy for ppc64/power7 for unaligned source or
destination address. The source or destination address is aligned
to doubleword and data is shifted based on the alignment and
added with the previous loaded data to be written as a doubleword.
For each load, cmpb instruction is used for faster null check.
The word aligned optimization is also removed, since the new unaligned
code path shows better results handling word-aligned strings.
More combination of unaligned inputs is also added in benchtest
to measure the improvement.The new optimization shows 2 to 80% of
performance improvement for longer string though it does not show
big difference on string size less than 16 due to additional checks.
Use of strftime, a C90 function, ends up bringing in wcschr, which is
not a C90 function. Although not a conformance bug (C90 reserves
wcs*), this is still contrary to glibc practice of avoiding relying on
those reservations; this patch arranges for the internal uses to use
__wcschr instead, with wcschr being a weak alias. This is more
complicated than some such patches because of the various IFUNC
definitions of wcschr (which include code redefining libc_hidden_def
in a way that involves creating __GI_wcschr manually and so also needs

__wcschr).
Tested for x86_64 and 32-bit x86 (testsuite, and that disassembly of
installed shared libraries is unchanged by the patch).

This patch optimizes strtok and strtok_r for POWERPC64.
A table of 256 characters is created and marked based on
the 'accept' argument and used to check for any occurance on
the input string.Loop unrolling is also used to gain improvements.
On powerpc, atomic_exchange_and_add is implemented without any
barriers. This patchs adds the missing instruction and memory barrier
for acquire and release semanthics.
This sets __HAVE_64B_ATOMICS if provided. It also sets
USE_ATOMIC_COMPILER_BUILTINS to true if the existing atomic ops use the
__atomic* builtins (aarch64, mips partially) or if this has been
tested (x86_64); otherwise, this is set to false so that C11 atomics will
be based on the existing atomic operations.
This patch fixes the build of C mempcpy and stpcpy by disabling the
redirection to __mempcpy and __stpcpy asm names if
NO_MEMPCPY_STPCPY_REDIRECT is defined, and defining that macro in the

Completing the removal of the obsolete INTDEF / INTUSE mechanism, this
patch removes the final use - that for _dl_starting_up - replacing it
by rtld_hidden_def / rtld_hidden_proto. Having removed the last use,
the mechanism itself is also removed.
Tested for x86_64 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch. (This is not much of a test since this
variable is only defined and used in the !HAVE_INLINED_SYSCALLS case.)

Continuing the removal of the obsolete INTDEF / INTUSE mechanism, this
patch replaces its use for _dl_argv with rtld_hidden_data_def and
rtld_hidden_proto. Some places in .S files that previously used
_dl_argv_internal or INTUSE(_dl_argv) now use __GI__dl_argv directly
(there are plenty of existing examples of such direct use of __GI_*).
A single place in rtld.c previously used _dl_argv without INTUSE,
apparently accidentally, while the rtld_hidden_proto mechanism avoids
such accidential omissions. As a consequence, this patch *does*
change the contents of stripped ld.so. However, the installed
stripped shared libraries are identical to those you get if instead of
this patch you change that single _dl_argv use to use INTUSE, without
any other changes.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite as well as comparison of installed
stripped shared libraries as described above).

This patch adds an optimized memset implementation for POWER8. For
sizes from 0 to 255 bytes, a word/doubleword algorithm similar to
POWER7 optimized one is used.
For size higher than 255 two strategies are used:
1. If the constant is different than 0, the memory is written with
altivec vector instruction;
2. If constant is 0, dbcz instructions are used. The loop is unrolled
to clear 512 byte at time.
Using vector instructions increases throughput considerable, with a
double performance for sizes larger than 1024. The dcbz loops unrolls
also shows performance improvement, by doubling throughput for sizes
larger than 8192 bytes.
This patch cleanups the multiarch bzero for powerpc64 by remove
the multiarch objects and use instead the the memset embedded
implementation presented in each multiarch optimization. The
code generate is essentially the same, but the TB_TOCLESS (which
is not essential).
Now that MEMCPY_OK_FOR_FWD_MEMMOVE should be define on memcopy.h there
is no need to specialized powerpc memmove implementation. This patch
moves the define set to powerpc memcopy and cleanup its definition on
powerpc code.
This patch changes power7 memcpy to use VSX instructions only when
memory is aligned to quardword. It is to avoid unaligned kernel traps
on non-cacheable memory (for instance, memory-mapped I/O).
This patch adds an optimized memmove optimization for POWER7/powerpc64.
Basically the idea is to use the memcpy for POWER7 on non-overlapped
memory regions and a optimized backward memcpy for memory regions
that overlap (similar to the idea of string/memmove.c).
The backward memcpy algorithm used is similar the one use for memcpy for
POWER7, with adjustments done for alignment. The difference is memory
is always aligned to 16 bytes before using VSX/altivec instructions.
This patch adds an ifunc power7 strcat symbol that uses the logic on
sysdeps/powerpc/strcat.c but call power7 strlen/strcpy symbols instead
of default ones.
This patch defines ELF_MACHINE_NO_RELA on all architectures. Tested
only on x86_64 to verify that the sources before and after are
identical except for two instructions that pass the current line
number in dl-machine.h to assert_fail.
Optimization is achieved on 8 byte aligned strings with double word
comparison using cmpb instruction. On unaligned strings loop unrolling
is applied for Power7 gain.
This patch fixes the optimized ppc64/power7 strncat strlen call for
static build without ifunc enabled. The strlen symbol to call in such
situation is just strlen, instead of __GI_strlen (since the __GI_
alias is just created for shared objects).
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> data alignment [gain from aligned memory access on read/write]
> POWER7 gains performance with loop unrolling/unwinding
[gain by reduction of branch penalty].
> zero padding done by calling optimized memset
This patch changes de default symbol redirection for internal call of
memcpy, memset, memchr, and strlen to the IFUNC resolved ones. The
performance improvement is noticeable in algorithms that uses these
symbols extensible, like the regex functions.
This patch fixes some powerpc32 and powerpc64 builds with
--disable-multi-arch option along with different --with-cpu=powerN.
It cleanups the Implies directories by removing the multiarch
folder for non multiarch config and also fixing two assembly
implementations: powerpc64/power7/strncat.S that is calling the
wrong strlen; and power8/fpu/s_isnan.S that misses the hidden_def and
weak_alias directives.
This patch add an optimized strpbrk for POWER7 by using a different
algorithm than default implementation: it constructs a table based on
the 'accept' argument and use this table to check for any occurance on
the input string. The idea is similar as x86_64 uses.
For PowerPC some tunings were added, such as unroll loops and memory
clear using VSX instructions.
This patch add a optimized strcspn for POWER7 by using a different
algorithm than default implementation: it constructs a table based on
the 'accept' argument and use this table to check for any occurance
on the input string. The idea is similar as x86_64 uses.
For PowerPC some tunings were added, such as unroll loops and align
stack memory to table to 16 bytes (so VSX clean can ran without
alignment issues).
The roundl assembly implementation
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_roundl.S)
returns wrong results for some inputs where first double is a exact

Fixes BZ#16701.
This patch fixes an issue for powerpc64[le] static build where __bzero
is definied in multiple places (memset-ppc64.o and bzero.o). It is now
defined only in bzero.o and memset-ppc64.o only defined __bzero_ppc for
both dynamic and static library.
Fixes BZ#16683.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> hashing of needle.
> hashing avoids scanning of duplicate entries in needle across the string.
> initializing the hash table with Vector instructions (VSX) by quadword access.
> unrolling when scanning for character in string across hash table.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
1. Doubleword aligned memory access and compares using
cmpb instruction.
2. Loop unrolling for byte load/store.
3. CPU pre-fetch to avoid cache miss.
This patch optimizes strrchr() for ppc64. It uses aligned memory
access along with cmpb instruction and CPU prefetch to avoid
cache misses for speed improvement.

By just removing the implementation and make the build select
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_truncl.c instead it fixes tgammal
issues regarding wrong result sign.
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).
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.
Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time.
Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac.

This patch intends to unify both strcpy and stpcpy implementationsi
for PPC64 and PPC64/POWER7. The idead default powerpc64 implementation
is to provide both doubleword and word aligned memory access.
For PPC64/POWER7 is also provide doubleword and word memory access,
remove the branch hints, use the cmpb instruction for compare
doubleword/words, and add an optimization for inputs of same alignment.

Like strnlen, memchr and memrchr had a number of defects fixed by this
patch as well as adding little-endian support. The first one I
noticed was that the entry to the main loop needlessly checked for
"are we done yet?" when we know the size is large enough that we can't
be done. The second defect I noticed was that the main loop count was
wrong, which in turn meant that the small loop needed to handle an
extra word. Thirdly, there is nothing to say that the string can't
wrap around zero, except of course that we'd normally hit a segfault
on trying to read from address zero. Fixing that simplified a number
of places:
- /* Are we done already? */
- addi r9,r8,8
- cmpld r9,r7
- bge L(null)
becomes
+ cmpld r8,r7
+ beqlr
However, the exit gets an extra test because I test for being on the
last word then if so whether the byte offset is less than the end.
Overall, the change is a win.
Lastly, memrchr used the wrong cache hint.

This is a rather large patch due to formatting and renaming. The
formatting changes were to make it possible to compare power7 and
power4 versions of memcmp. Using different register defines came
about while I was wrestling with the code, trying to find spare
registers at one stage. I found it much simpler if we refer to a reg
by the same name throughout a function, so it's better if short-term
multiple use regs like rTMP are referred to using their register
number. I made the cr field usage changes when attempting to reload
rWORDn regs in the exit path to byte swap before comparing when
little-endian. That proved a bad idea due to the pipelining involved
in the main loop; Offsets to reload the regs were different first
time around the loop.. Anyway, I left the cr field usage changes in
place for consistency.
Aside from these more-or-less cosmetic changes, I fixed a number of
places where an early exit path restores regs unnecessarily, removed
some dead code, and optimised one or two exits.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memcmp.S: Add little-endian support.
Formatting. Consistently use rXXX register defines or rN defines.
Use early exit labels that avoid restoring unused non-volatile regs.
Make cr field use more consistent with rWORDn compares. Rename
regs used as shift registers for unaligned loop, using rN defines
for short lifetime/multiple use regs.

addi 1,1,64 to pop stack frame. Simplify return value code.

Adds little-endian support to optimised strchr assembly. I've also
tweaked the big-endian code a little. In power7/strchr.S there's a
check in the tail of the function that we didn't match 0 before
finding a c match, done by comparing leading zero counts. It's just
as valid, and quicker, to compare the raw output from cmpb.
Another little tweak is to use rldimi/insrdi in place of rlwimi for
the power7 strchr functions. Since rlwimi is cracked, it is a few
cycles slower. rldimi can be used on the 32-bit power7 functions
too.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/strchr.S (strchr): Add little-endian
support. Correct typos, formatting. Optimize tail. Use insrdi
rather than rlwimi.

* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/strchr.S (rTMP4, rTMP5): Define. Use
in loop and entry code to keep "and." results.

earlier in tail.

The strcpy changes for little-endian are quite straight-forward, just
a matter of rotating the last word differently.
I'll note that the powerpc64 version of stpcpy is just begging to be
converted to use 64-bit loads and stores..

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.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/strcmp.S (rTMP2): Define as r0.
(rTMP): Define as r11.

The existing strnlen code has a number of defects, so this patch is more
than just adding little-endian support. The changes here are similar to
those for memchr.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/strnlen.S (strnlen): Add
little-endian support. Remove unnecessary "are we done" tests.
Handle "s" wrapping around zero and extremely large "size".
Correct main loop count. Handle single left-over word from main
loop inline rather than by using small_loop. Correct comments.
Delete "zero" tail, use "end_max" instead.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/strnlen.S: Likewise.

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.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/strlen.S (strlen): Add little-endian
support. Don't branch over align.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/strlen.S: Likewise.

This patch fixes symbol versioning in setjmp/longjmp. The existing
code uses raw versions, which results in wrong symbol versioning when
you want to build glibc with a base version of 2.19 for LE.
Note that the merging the 64-bit and 32-bit versions in novmx-lonjmp.c
and pt-longjmp.c doesn't result in GLIBC_2.0 versions for 64-bit, due
to the base in shlib_versions.

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.
[BZ #15723]
* sysdeps/powerpc/jmpbuf-offsets.h: Comment fix.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu/__longjmp-common.S: Correct
_dl_hwcap access for little-endian.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu/setjmp-common.S: Likewise. Don't
destroy vmx regs when saving unaligned.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/__longjmp-common.S: Correct CR load.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/setjmp-common.S: Likewise CR save. Don't
destroy vmx regs when saving unaligned.
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.
This patch fixes backtrace for PPC32 and PPC64 to correctly handle
signal trampolines. The 'debug/tst-backtrace6.c' also check for
SA_SIGINFO handling, where is triggers another vDSO symbols for PPC32.
Resolves: #15465
The program name may be unavailable if the user application tampers
with argc and argv[]. Some parts of the dynamic linker caters for
this while others don't, so this patch consolidates the check and
fallback into a single macro and updates all users.
This patch fix the 3c0265394d commits
by correctly setting minimum architecture for modf PPC optimization
to power5+ instead of power5 (since only on power5+ round/ceil will
be inline to inline assembly).
The branch prediction hints is actually hurts performance in this case.
The assembly implementation make two assumptions: 1. 'fabs (x) < 2^52'
is unlikely and 2. 'x > 0.0' is unlike (if 1. is true). Since it a
general floating point function, expected input is not bounded and then
it is better to let the hardware handle the branches.

Initially based on the versions found in wcsmbs/* ; these files have
been changed by hand unrolling, and adding some additional variables
to allow some read-ahead to occur, which then relieves some of the
wait-for-increment/wait-for-load/wait-for-compare-results pressure
that was slowing down every iteration through the while-loop.
For 64-bit Power7, These changes give an approx 20% throughput boost
for the wcschr and wcsrchr functions; and approx 40% boost for the
wcscpy function. 32-bit improvements appear to be slightly better
with ~ %30 and ~ %45 respectively. Results for Power6 closely match
those for power7.
Assorted tweaking, twisting and tuning to squeeze a few additional cycles
out of the memchr code. Changes include bypassing the shift pairs
(sld,srd) when they are not required, and unrolling the small_loop that
handles short and trailing strings.
Per scrollpipe data measuring aligned strings for 64-bit, these changes
save between five and eight cycles (9-13% overall) for short strings (<32),
Longer aligned strings see slight improvement of 1-3% due to bypassing the
shifts and the instruction rearranging.
