GCC 13 has added more _FloatN and _FloatNx versions of existing
<math.h> and <complex.h> built-in functions, for use in libstdc++-v3.
This breaks the glibc build because of how those functions are defined
as aliases to functions with the same ABI but different types. Add
appropriate -fno-builtin-* options for compiling relevant files, as
already done for the case of long double functions aliasing double
ones and based on the list of files used there.
I fixed some mistakes in that list of double files that I noticed
while implementing this fix, but there may well be more such
(harmless) cases, in this list or the new one (files that don't
actually exist or don't define the named functions as aliases so don't
need the options). I did try to exclude cases where glibc doesn't
define certain functions for _FloatN or _FloatNx types at all from the
new uses of -fno-builtin-* options. As with the options for double
files (see the commit message for commit
49348beafe, "Fix build with GCC 10 when
long double = double."), it's deliberate that the options are used
even if GCC currently doesn't have a built-in version of a given
functions, so providing some level of future-proofing against more
such built-in functions being added in future.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for aarch64-linux-gnu
powerpc-linux-gnu powerpc64le-linux-gnu x86_64-linux-gnu (compilers
and glibcs builds) with GCC mainline.
This allows us to define a generic no-op version of PTR_MANGLE and
PTR_DEMANGLE. In the future, we can use PTR_MANGLE and PTR_DEMANGLE
unconditionally in C sources, avoiding an unintended loss of hardening
due to missing include files or unlucky header inclusion ordering.
In i386 and x86_64, we can avoid a <tls.h> dependency in the C
code by using the computed constant from <tcb-offsets.h>. <sysdep.h>
no longer includes these definitions, so there is no cyclic dependency
anymore when computing the <tcb-offsets.h> constants.

Rather than buffering 16 MiB of entropy in userspace (by way of
chacha20), simply call getrandom() every time.
This approach is doubtlessly slower, for now, but trying to prematurely
optimize arc4random appears to be leading toward all sorts of nasty
properties and gotchas. Instead, this patch takes a much more
conservative approach. The interface is added as a basic loop wrapper
around getrandom(), and then later, the kernel and libc together can
work together on optimizing that.
This prevents numerous issues in which userspace is unaware of when it
really must throw away its buffer, since we avoid buffering all
together. Future improvements may include userspace learning more from
the kernel about when to do that, which might make these sorts of
chacha20-based optimizations more possible. The current heuristic of 16
MiB is meaningless garbage that doesn't correspond to anything the
kernel might know about. So for now, let's just do something
conservative that we know is correct and won't lead to cryptographic
issues for users of this function.
This patch might be considered along the lines of, "optimization is the
root of all evil," in that the much more complex implementation it
replaces moves too fast without considering security implications,
whereas the incremental approach done here is a much safer way of going
about things. Once this lands, we can take our time in optimizing this
properly using new interplay between the kernel and userspace.
getrandom(0) is used, since that's the one that ensures the bytes
returned are cryptographically secure. But on systems without it, we
fallback to using /dev/urandom. This is unfortunate because it means
opening a file descriptor, but there's not much of a choice. Secondly,
as part of the fallback, in order to get more or less the same
properties of getrandom(0), we poll on /dev/random, and if the poll
succeeds at least once, then we assume the RNG is initialized. This is a
rough approximation, as the ancient "non-blocking pool" initialized
after the "blocking pool", not before, and it may not port back to all
ancient kernels, though it does to all kernels supported by glibc
(≥3.2), so generally it's the best approximation we can do.
The motivation for including arc4random, in the first place, is to have
source-level compatibility with existing code. That means this patch
doesn't attempt to litigate the interface itself. It does, however,
choose a conservative approach for implementing it.

The PowerPC64 linker edits medium model toc-indirect code to toc-pointer
relative:
addis r9,r2,tc_entry_for_var@toc@ha
ld r9,tc_entry_for_var@toc@l(r9)
becomes
addis r9,r2,(var-.TOC.)@ha
addi r9,r9,(var-.TOC.)@l
when "var" is known to be local to the binary. This isn't done for
small-model toc-indirect code, because "var" is almost guaranteed to
be too far away from .TOC. for a 16-bit signed offset. And, because
the analysis of which .toc entry can be removed becomes much more
complicated in objects that mix code models, they aren't removed if
any small-model toc sequence appears in an object file.
Unfortunately, glibc's build of ld.so smashes the needed objects
together in a ld -r linking stage. This means the GOT/TOC is left
with a whole lot of relative relocations which is untidy, but in
itself is not a serious problem. However, static-pie on powerpc64
bombs due to a segfault caused by one of the small-model accesses
before _dl_relocate_static_pie. (The very first one in rcrt1.o
passing start_addresses in r8 to __libc_start_main.)
So this patch makes all the toc/got accesses in assembly medium code
model, and a couple of functions hidden. By itself this is not
enough to give us working static-pie, but it is useful in isolation to
enable better linker optimisation.
There's a serious problem in libgcc too. libgcc ifuncs access the
AT_HWCAP words stored in the tcb with an offset from the thread
pointer (r13), but r13 isn't set at the time _dl_relocate_static_pie.

This commit adds support for __memcmpeq() as a new ABI for all
targets. In this commit __memcmpeq() is implemented only as an alias
to the corresponding targets memcmp() implementation. __memcmpeq() is
added as a new symbol starting with GLIBC_2.35 and defined in string.h
with comments explaining its behavior. Basic tests that it is callable
and works where added in string/tester.c
As discussed in the proposal "Add new ABI '__memcmpeq()' to libc"
__memcmpeq() is essentially a reserved namespace for bcmp(). The means
is shares the same specifications as memcmp() except the return value
for non-equal byte sequences is any non-zero value. This is less
strict than memcmp()'s return value specification and can be better
optimized when a boolean return is all that is needed.
__memcmpeq() is meant to only be called by compilers if they can prove
that the return value of a memcmp() call is only used for its boolean
value.
All tests in string/tester.c passed. As well build succeeds on

The powerpc optimization to provide a fast stacktrace requires some
ad-hoc code to handle Linux signal frames and the change is fragile

The 4af6982e4c fix does not fully handle RTLD_BOOTSTRAP usage on
rtld.c due two issues:
1. RTLD_BOOTSTRAP is also used on dl-machine.h on various
architectures and it changes the semantics of various machine
relocation functions.
2. The elf_get_dynamic_info() change was done sideways, previously
to 490e6c62aa get-dynamic-info.h was included by the first
dynamic-link.h include *without* RTLD_BOOTSTRAP being defined.
It means that the code within elf_get_dynamic_info() that uses
RTLD_BOOTSTRAP is in fact unused.
To fix 1. this patch now includes dynamic-link.h only once with
RTLD_BOOTSTRAP defined. The ELF_DYNAMIC_RELOCATE call will now have
the relocation fnctions with the expected semantics for the loader.
And to fix 2. part of 4af6982e4c is reverted (the check argument
elf_get_dynamic_info() is not required) and the RTLD_BOOTSTRAP
pieces are removed.
To reorganize the includes the static TLS definition is moved to
its own header to avoid a circular dependency (it is defined on
dynamic-link.h and dl-machine.h requires it at same time other
dynamic-link.h definition requires dl-machine.h defitions).
Also ELF_MACHINE_NO_REL, ELF_MACHINE_NO_RELA, and ELF_MACHINE_PLT_REL
are moved to its own header. Only ancient ABIs need special values
(arm, i386, and mips), so a generic one is used as default.

csu code required its definition (which would require either include

Corresponding tgmath.h macro support is also added.
The changes are mostly similar to those for the other narrowing

description of those generally applies to this patch as well. As with
sqrt, I reused the same test inputs in auto-libm-test-in as for
non-narrowing fma rather than adding extra or separate inputs for
narrowing fma. The tests in libm-test-narrow-fma.inc also follow
those for non-narrowing fma.
The non-narrowing fma has a known bug (bug 6801) that it does not set
errno on errors (overflow, underflow, Inf * 0, Inf - Inf). Rather
than fixing this or having narrowing fma check for errors when
non-narrowing does not (complicating the cases when narrowing fma can
otherwise be an alias for a non-narrowing function), this patch does
not attempt to check for errors from narrowing fma and set errno; the
CHECK_NARROW_FMA macro is still present, but as a placeholder that
does nothing, and this missing errno setting is considered to be
covered by the existing bug rather than needing a separate open bug.
missing-errno annotations are duly added to many of the
auto-libm-test-in test inputs for fma.

Recent binutils commit b25f942e18d6ecd7ec3e2d2e9930eb4f996c258a

when, for example, compiling for default machine "power8", but explicitly
asking for ".machine power5", which loses Altivec instructions.
In tst-ucontext-ppc64-vscr.c, while the instructions provoking the new
error messages are bracketed by ".machine power5", which is ostensibly
Power ISA 2.03 (POWER5), the POWER5 processor did not support the

They provide TLS_GD/TLS_LD/TLS_IE/TLS_IE macros for TLS testing. Now
that we have migrated to __thread and tls_model attributes, these macros
are unused and the tls-macros.h files can retire.

We'd like to support processors without Altivec or VSX, so check
the relevant hwcap bits before selecting them.

A number of optimised memset routines assume the cacheline size is 128B,
so we better check before using them.

We use PPC_FEATURE_HAS_VSX to select a number of POWER7 optimised
functions. These functions don't use any VSX instructions, so
PPC_FEATURE_ARCH_2_06 seems like a better fit.

5 years ago, commit 8f1b841e45
unintentionally added an ifunc to the loader.
That modification has not caused any harm so far, but it doesn't add any
value either, because the hwcap information is available later during
libc initialization.

This patch modifies the current POWER9 implementation of strcpy and
stpcpy to optimize it for POWER9/10.
Since no new POWER10 instructions are used, the original POWER9 strcpy is
modified instead of creating a new implementation for POWER10. This
implementation is based on both the original POWER9 implementation of
strcpy and the preamble of the new POWER10 implementation of strlen.
The changes also affect stpcpy, which uses the same implementation with
some additional code before returning.
On POWER9, averaging improvements across the benchmark
inputs (length/source alignment/destination alignment), for an
experiment that ran the benchmark five times, bench-strcpy showed an
improvement of 5.23%, and bench-stpcpy showed an improvement of 6.59%.
On POWER10, bench-strcpy showed 13.16%, and bench-stpcpy showed 13.59%.
The changes are:
1. Removed the null string optimization.
Although this results in a few extra cycles for the null string, in
combination with the second change, this resulted in improvements for
for other cases.
2. Adapted the preamble from strlen for POWER10.
This is the part of the function that handles up to the first 16 bytes
of the string.
3. Increased number of unrolled iterations in the main loop to 6.

Commit 68ab82f566 added support for the scv
syscall ABI on powerpc. Since then systems that have kernel and processor
support started using scv. However adding the proper support for a new syscall
ABI requires changes to several other projects (e.g. qemu, valgrind, strace,
kernel), which are gradually receiving support.
Meanwhile, having a way to disable scv on glibc at build time can be useful for
distros that may encounter conflicts with projects that still do not support the
scv ABI, buying time until proper support is added.
This commit adds a --disable-scv option that disables scv support and uses sc
for all syscalls, like before commit 68ab82f566.

This patch was based on the __memcmp_power8 and the recent
__strlen_power10.
Improvements from __memcmp_power8:
1. Don't need alignment code.
On POWER10 lxvp and lxvl do not generate alignment interrupts, so
they are safe for use on caching-inhibited memory. Notice that the
comparison on the main loop will wait for both VSR to be ready.
Therefore aligning one of the input address does not improve
performance. In order to align both registers a vperm is necessary
which add too much overhead.
2. Uses new POWER10 instructions
This code uses lxvp to decrease contention on load by loading 32 bytes
per instruction.
The vextractbm is used to have a smaller tail code for calculating the
return value.
3. Performance improvement
This version has around 35% better performance on average. I saw no
performance regressions for any length or alignment.
Thanks Matheus for helping me out with some details.
