This patch adds fmaxf and fminf benchtests. It is based on
math/s_fmax_template.c implementation which checks for basically four
different classes:
1. if x is greater or equal than y.
2. if x is less than y.
3. if x or y is signaling.
4. if y is nan.
Cases 1 and 2 are used for default input number (by mixing normal double
numbers and infinity), while case 3 and 4 are used each for on for a
benchmark class.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and powerpc64-linux-gnu.
* benchtests/Makefile (bench-math): Add fminf and fmaxf.
(CFLAGS-bench-fmaxf.c): New rule.
(CFLAGS-bench-fminf.c): Likewise.
* benchtests/fmaxf-inputs: New file.
* benchtests/fminf-inputs: Likewise.

Benchsets in benchtests use test-skeleton, so they too need to be
linked against the new libsupport DSO.
* benchtests/Makefile (binaries-benchset): Depend on libsupport
DSO.
calls strcspn, call strcspn directly so we get the end of the token without
an extra call to rawmemchr. Also avoid an unnecessary call to strcspn after
the last token by adding an early exit for an empty string. Change strtok
to tailcall strtok_r to avoid unnecessary code duplication.
Remove the special header optimization for strtok_r of a 1-character
constant string - both strspn and strcspn contain optimizations for this
case. Benchmarking this showed similar performance in the worst case,
but up to 5.5x better performance in the "found" case for large inputs.
* benchtests/bench-strtok.c (oldstrtok): Add old implementation.
* string/strtok.c (strtok): Change to tailcall __strtok_r.
* string/strtok_r.c (__strtok_r): Optimize for performance.
* string/string-inlines.c (__old_strtok_r_1c): New function.
* string/bits/string2.h (__strtok_r): Move to string-inlines.c.
This patch makes the sqrt benchmark use -fno-builtin, as already done
for benchmarks of ffs and ffsll, so that it actually benchmarks the
glibc function as (presumably) intended even in the presence of the
compiler inlining sqrt.
Tested for x86_64 and also used for benchmarking my ARM sqrt patch.
* benchtests/Makefile (CFLAGS-bench-sqrt.c): New variable.
Clear the destination buffer updated by the previous run in bench-memcpy.c
and test-memcpy.c to catch the error when the following implementations do
not copy anything.
[BZ #19907]
* benchtests/bench-memcpy.c (do_one_test): Clear the destination
buffer updated by the previous run.
* string/test-memcpy.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memmove.c (do_one_test): Add a comment.
* string/test-memmove.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
This patch adds full support for cross-building benchmarks. Some
benchmarks like those that need locales to be generated cannot be
built and are hence skipped for cross builds.
Tested by cross building for aarch64 on x86_64 and then running the
generated benchmark on aarch64.
* benchtests/Makefile (wcsmbs-benchset): Include only for
native builds and runs.
(LOCALES): Likewise.
(bench-build): Build timing-type here instead of the bench
target. Generate locale only for native builds.
* benchtests/README: Add note for cross-building.
For situations where we are cross-building or where we want to avoid
building on the target system, we want a way to only build benchmarks
and then copy them over to the target system to run them. I have also
added a simple enhancement for the 'bench' target where all benchmark
binaries are built and then the benchmarks executed.
Tested on arm.
Makefile.in (bench-build): New target.
Rules (PHONY): Add bench-build target.
benchtests/Makefile (bench): Depend on bench-build.
(bench-build): New target.
From the bug:
Obsolete locale. The ISO-639 code for Hebrew was changed from 'iw'
to 'he' in 1989, according to Bruno Haible on libc-alpha 2003-09-01.

benchtests should use $(test-via-rtld-prefix) and $(+link-tests) like
other glibc tests.
[BZ #19783]
* benchtests/Makefile (run-bench): Replace $(rtld-prefix) with
$(test-via-rtld-prefix).
($(binaries-bench)): Replace $(+link) with $(+link-tests).
The ffs and ffsll functions were listed as math functions when they
are actually defined in strings.h and string.h respectively. Shuffle
around the Makefile variables a bit and make a separate space for ffs
and ffsll.
The sincos benchmark has only about a dozen inputs that don't measure
the impact of changes to various passes. Since much of the code
properties are inherited from sin and cos, copy those inputs in to get
more comprehensive coverage.
Prevent function calls that don't return anything from being optimized
out by the compiler by marking its input variables as used.
This prevents the sincos function call from being optimized out in the
benchmark.

This patch provides optimized versions of strcmp and wcscmp with the z13
vector instructions.
The architecture specific string.h had a typo, which leads to ommiting the
inline version in this file if __USE_STRING_INLINES is defined.
Tested this inline version by tweaking test-strcmp.c.

This script is a sample implementation that uses import_bench to
construct two benchmark objects and compare them. If detailed timing
information is available (when one does `make DETAILED=1 bench`), it
writes out graphs for all functions it benchmarks and prints
significant differences in timings of the two benchmark runs. If
detailed timing information is not available, it points out
significant differences in aggregate times.
Call this script as follows:
compare_bench.py schema_file.json bench1.out bench2.out
Alternatively, if one wants to set a different threshold for warnings
(default is a 10% difference):
compare_bench.py schema_file.json bench1.out bench2.out 25
The threshold in the example above is 25%. schema_file.json is the
JSON schema (which is $srcdir/benchtests/scripts/benchout.schema.json
for the benchmark output file) and bench1.out and bench2.out are the
two benchmark output files to compare.
The key functionality here is the compress_timings function which
groups together points that are close together into a single point
that is the mean of all its representative points. Any point in such
a group is at most 1.5x the smallest point in that group. The
detailed derivation is a comment in the function.

* benchtests/scripts/import_bench.py (mean): New function.
(split_list): Likewise.
(do_for_all_timings): Likewise.
(compress_timings): Likewise.
This is the beginning of a module to import and process benchmark
outputs. The module currently supports importing of a bench.out and
validating it against a schema file. In future this could grow a set
of routines that benchmark consumers may find useful to build their
own analysis tools. I have altered validate_bench to use this module
too.
* benchtests/scripts/import_bench.py: New file.
* benchtests/scripts/validate_benchout.py: Import import_bench
instead of jsonschema.
(validate_bench): Remove function.
(main): Use import_bench.
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.
