* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu/s_roundf.S: Increase alignment of
constants to usual value for .cst8 section, and remove redundant
high address load.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/fpu/s_llround.S: Use float
constant for 0x1p52. Load little-endian words of double from
correct stack offsets.
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.
In the past the "-ftree-loop-linear" switch provided a measurable
improvement in performance for certain functions. At some point it
was assigned as the responsibility of Graphite in GCC. It has been
found that even with Graphite enabled these flags no longer perform
any appreciable improvement over the baseline.
Graphite now has some open bugs which need to be fixed in order for it
to provide measurable performance improvements but it lacks active
development. As a result some compiler distributors may disable
Graphite. If Graphite is disabled then building GLIBC will fail if
the "-ftree-loop-linear" switch is used.
This patch removes the use of "-ftree-loop-linear" as unnecessary.
This patch provides optimized logb (1.2x on PPC32 and 2.5x on PPC64),
logbf (1.1x on PPC32 and 2.2x on PPC64), and logbl (1.3x on PPC32 and
50% on PPC64) for the POWER7 processor.

This patch tries to organize the implies files for ppc, since there are
a number of processors and most of them are compatible with each other
(backwards compatible).
Having in mind that we start the search for processor-specific files in
the sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux tree
(sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]/fpu to be
exact), we would like to grab any linux-specific code from that tree
prior to going through the other tree (sysdeps/powerpc/...).
For that, i removed the Implies files that were originally inside the
fpu directories and placed then in the non-fpu directories (still inside
the unix/sysv/linux tree). If no processor-specific/linux-specific files
could be found, we "imply" the other tree's (sysdeps/powerpc/...) fpu
directory for that specific processor AND also the non-fpu directory for
that same tree.
If, again, no processor-specific code is found, we read another Implies
file that will point to the most compatible processor that we should
grab code from, and so on, until we reach the power4 processor.
So, in summary, the Implies files will live inside these directories
now:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]
Practical example of the order we will use to pick power6-specific code
with the new structure.
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6/fpu ->
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5+/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5+ ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power4/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power4 (from here, it'll go to the
generic path as usual)
