The __x86_shared_non_temporal_threshold determines when memcpy on x86
uses non_temporal stores to avoid pushing other data out of the last
level cache.
This patch proposes to revert the calculation change made by H.J. Lu's
patch of June 2, 2017.
H.J. Lu's patch selected a threshold suitable for a single thread
getting maximum performance. It was tuned using the single threaded
large memcpy micro benchmark on an 8 core processor. The last change
changes the threshold from using 3/4 of one thread's share of the
cache to using 3/4 of the entire cache of a multi-threaded system
before switching to non-temporal stores. Multi-threaded systems with
more than a few threads are server-class and typically have many
active threads. If one thread consumes 3/4 of the available cache for
all threads, it will cause other active threads to have data removed
from the cache. Two examples show the range of the effect. John
McCalpin's widely parallel Stream benchmark, which runs in parallel
and fetches data sequentially, saw a 20% slowdown with this patch on
an internal system test of 128 threads. This regression was discovered
when comparing OL8 performance to OL7. An example that compares
normal stores to non-temporal stores may be found at
https://vgatherps.github.io/2018-09-02-nontemporal/. A simple test
shows performance loss of 400 to 500% due to a failure to use
nontemporal stores. These performance losses are most likely to occur
when the system load is heaviest and good performance is critical.
The tunable x86_non_temporal_threshold can be used to override the
default for the knowledgable user who really wants maximum cache
allocation to a single thread in a multi-threaded system.
The manual entry for the tunable has been expanded to provide
more information about its purpose.

Commit 91927b7c76 (Rewrite iconv option parsing [BZ #19519]) did not
handle cases where the output codeset for translations (via the `gettext'

TRANSLIT or IGNORE. This led to a regression where translations did not
work when the codeset had a suffix.
This commit fixes the above issue by parsing any suffixes passed to
__dcigettext and adds two new test-cases to intl/tst-codeset.c to
verify correct behaviour. The iconv-internal function __gconv_create_spec
and the static iconv-internal function gconv_destroy_spec are now visible

The behavior of isnan/__builtin_isnan on bit patterns that do not
correspond to something that the CPU would produce from valid inputs
is currently under-defined in the toolchain. (The GCC built-in and
glibc disagree.)
The isnan check in PRINTF_FP_FETCH in stdio-common/printf_fp.c
assumes the GCC behavior that returns true for non-normal numbers
which are not specified as NaN. (The glibc implementation returns
false for such numbers.)
At present, passing non-normal numbers to __mpn_extract_long_double
causes this function to produce irregularly shaped multi-precision
integers, triggering undefined behavior in __printf_fp_l.
With GCC 10 and glibc 2.32, this behavior is not visible because
__builtin_isnan is used, which avoids calling
__mpn_extract_long_double in this case. This commit updates the
implementation of __mpn_extract_long_double so that regularly shaped
multi-precision integers are produced in this case, avoiding
undefined behavior in __printf_fp_l.
The __THROW macro and friends expand to "throw ()" for C++ code, but
that syntax is deprecated in C++11 and no longer supported at all since
C++20. In order for glibc headers to be compatible with C++20,
"noexcept" should be used instead.
This patch uses "noexcept (true)" rather than just "noexcept", which is
semantically equivalent, but avoids any possibility of parsing
ambiguities if the next preprocessor token happens to be an opening
parenthesis. This is probably unnecessary, but it seems safer to be
cautious.
This patch adds the ABI-related bits to reflect the new mallinfo2
function, and adds a test case to verify basic functionality.

From the original commit for power-pc:
Since memset is documented as a function GCC may always implicitly
generate calls to, it seems reasonable to allow that local PLT
reference (just like those for libgcc functions that GCC implicitly
generates calls to and that are also exported from libc.so), which
this patch does.

x86: Set CPU usable feature bits conservatively [BZ #26552]
Set CPU usable feature bits only for CPU features which are usable in
user space and whose usability can be detected from user space, excluding
features like FSGSBASE whose enable bit can only be checked in the kernel.
no longer turns on the usable bits of IBT and SHSTK since we don't know
if IBT and SHSTK are usable until much later. Use HAS_CPU_FEATURE to
check if the processor supports IBT and SHSTK.
Add Intel Key Locker:
https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/download/intel-key-locker-specification.html
support to <sys/platform/x86.h>. Intel Key Locker has
1. KL: AES Key Locker instructions.
2. WIDE_KL: AES wide Key Locker instructions.
3. AESKLE: AES Key Locker instructions are enabled by OS.
Applications should use
if (CPU_FEATURE_USABLE (KL))
and
if (CPU_FEATURE_USABLE (WIDE_KL))
to check if AES Key Locker instructions and AES wide Key Locker
instructions are usable.
The variable idx contains the index into the extra array, whereas wextra
points into the extra array at this index, containing the length of the
following collating sequence in the wide character representation.
The sem_clockwait and sem_timedwait have been converted to support 64 bit time.
This change reuses futex_abstimed_wait_cancelable64 function introduced earlier.
The sem_{clock|timed}wait only accepts absolute time. Moreover, there is no
need to check for NULL passed as *abstime pointer to the syscalls as both calls
have exported symbols marked with __nonull attribute for abstime.
For systems with __TIMESIZE != 64 && __WORDSIZE == 32:
- Conversion from 32 bit time to 64 bit struct __timespec64 was necessary
- Redirection to __sem_{clock|timed}wait64 will provide support for 64 bit
time

./src/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py glibcs

handle the kernel_stat.
Checked with a build for all affected ABIs. I also checked on x86_64,
i686, powerpc, powerpc64le, sparcv9, sparc64, s390, and s390x.

It indicates that the glibc export stat64 is similar in size and
layout of the kernel stat64 used on the syscall. It is not currently
used on stat implementation, but the idea is to indicate whether
to use the kernel_stat to issue on the syscall on the *stat*64
variant (more specifically on mips which its exported ABI does not
match the kernel).
