PowerPC kernel now provides a vDSO implementation for time syscall
(commit fcb41a2030abe0eb716ef0798035ef9562097f42). This patch changes
time syscall wrapper to use the vDSO when available. It also changes
the default non vDSO time on PowerPC to use sysdeps/posix/time.c
(since gettimeofday is a vDSO call).
* sysdeps/gnu/netinet/tcp.h (TCP_TIMESTAMP): New value, from
Linux 3.9.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/socket.h (PF_VSOCK, AF_VSOCK):
Add.
(PF_MAX): Adjust for VSOCK change.
We add yesstr and nostr to three more locales.
We ignore the issue of capitalization of the first
character in yesstr and nostr. All locales will need
to be revisited to make this uniform policy change.

[BZ #15264]
* localedata/locales/en_CA (LC_MESSAGES): Define yesstr and nostr.
* localedata/locales/es_AR (LC_MESSAGES): Copy es_ES.
* localedata/locales/es_ES (LC_MESSAGES): Define yesstr and nostr.
Use the __gnu_inline__ attribute in _FORTIFY_SOURCE's __extern_always_inline
macro whenever the compiler supports it. Previously this macro only included
the __gnu_inline__ attribute in C++ mode for gcc >= 4.3. However,
__gnu_inline__ semantics are always desired for the __extern_always_inline
functions, and are available in g++ 4.2 (and some releases of g++ 4.1, and
also in Clang, which claims to be g++ 4.2).
This change stops g++-4.2 from emitting weak definitions for the fortify
wrapper functions if they can't be inlined, and also improves Clang
compatibility.
Some math functions have distinct performance characteristics in
specific domains of inputs, where some inputs return via a fast path
while other inputs require multiple precision calculations, that too
at different precision levels. The way to implement different domains
was to have a separate source file and benchmark definition, resulting
in separate programs.
This clutters up the benchmark, so this change allows these domains to
be consolidated into the same input file. To do this, the input file
format is now enhanced to allow comments with a preceding # and
directives with two # at the begining of a line. A directive that
looks like:
tells the benchmark generation script that what follows is a different
domain of inputs. The value of the 'name' directive (in this case,
foo) is used in the output. The two input domains are then executed
sequentially and their results collated separately. with the above
directive, there would be two lines in the result that look like:
func(): ....
func(foo): ...
The idea to run benchmarks for a constant number of iterations is
problematic. While the benchmarks may run for 10 seconds on x86_64,
they could run for about 30 seconds on powerpc and worse, over 3
minutes on arm. Besides that, adding a new benchmark is cumbersome
since one needs to find out the number of iterations needed for a
sufficient runtime.
A better idea would be to run each benchmark for a specific amount of
time. This patch does just that. The run time defaults to 10 seconds
and it is configurable at command line:
make BENCH_DURATION=5 bench
