Vector registers perform better than scalar register pairs for copying
data so prefer them instead. This results in a time reduction of over
50% (i.e. 2x speed improvemnet) for some smaller sizes for memcpy-walk.
Larger sizes show improvements of around 1% to 2%. memcpy-random shows
a very small improvement, in the range of 1-2%.
* sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memcpy_falkor.S (__memcpy_falkor):
Use vector registers.
(cherry picked from commit 0aec4c1d18)
For smaller and medium sized copies, the effect of hardware
prefetching are not as dominant as instruction level parallelism.
Hence it makes more sense to load data into multiple registers than to
try and route them to the same prefetch unit. This is also the case
for the loop exit where we are unable to latch on to the same prefetch
unit anyway so it makes more sense to have data loaded in parallel.
The performance results are a bit mixed with memcpy-random, with
numbers jumping between -1% and +3%, i.e. the numbers don't seem
repeatable. memcpy-walk sees a 70% improvement (i.e. > 2x) for 128
bytes and that improvement reduces down as the impact of the tail copy
decreases in comparison to the loop.

The mutually misaligned inputs on aarch64 are compared with a simple
byte copy, which is not very efficient. Enhance the comparison
similar to strcmp by loading a double-word at a time. The peak
performance improvement (i.e. 4k maxlen comparisons) due to this on
the strncmp microbenchmark is as follows:
falkor: 3.5x (up to 72% time reduction)
cortex-a73: 3.5x (up to 71% time reduction)
cortex-a53: 3.5x (up to 71% time reduction)
All mutually misaligned inputs from 16 bytes maxlen onwards show
upwards of 15% improvement and there is no measurable effect on the
performance of aligned/mutually aligned inputs.
* sysdeps/aarch64/strncmp.S (count): New macro.
(strncmp): Store misaligned length in SRC1 in COUNT.

(misaligned8): Load dword at a time when it is safe.

(cherry picked from commit 6ca24c4348)
Replace the simple byte-wise compare in the misaligned case with a
dword compare with page boundary checks in place. For simplicity I've
chosen a 4K page boundary so that we don't have to query the actual
page size on the system.
This results in up to 3x improvement in performance in the unaligned
case on falkor and about 2.5x improvement on mustang as measured using
bench-strcmp.

(cherry picked from commit 4e54d91863)
This improved memcmp provides a fast path for compares up to 16 bytes
and then compares 16 bytes at a time, thus optimizing loads from both
sources. The glibc memcmp microbenchmark retains performance (with an
error of ~1ns) for smaller compare sizes and reduces up to 31% of
execution time for compares up to 4K on the APM Mustang. On Qualcomm
Falkor this improves to almost 48%, i.e. it is almost 2x improvement
for sizes of 2K and above.
* sysdeps/aarch64/memcmp.S: Widen comparison to 16 bytes at a
time.
(cherry picked from commit 30a81dae5b)
This is an optimized memcmp for AArch64. This is a complete rewrite
using a different algorithm. The previous version split into cases
where both inputs were aligned, the inputs were mutually aligned and
unaligned using a byte loop. The new version combines all these cases,
while small inputs of less than 8 bytes are handled separately.
This allows the main code to be sped up using unaligned loads since
there are now at least 8 bytes to be compared. After the first 8 bytes,
align the first input. This ensures each iteration does at most one
unaligned access and mutually aligned inputs behave as aligned.
After the main loop, process the last 8 bytes using unaligned accesses.
This improves performance of (mutually) aligned cases by 25% and
unaligned by >500% (yes >6 times faster) on large inputs.
* sysdeps/aarch64/memcmp.S (memcmp):
Rewrite of optimized memcmp.
(cherry picked from commit 922369032c)
The fix for BZ#21270 (commit 158d5fa0e1) added a mask to avoid offset larger
than 1^44 to be used along __NR_mmap2. However mips64n32 users __NR_mmap,
as mips64n64, but still defines off_t as old non-LFS type (other ILP32, such
x32, defines off_t being equal to off64_t). This leads to use the same
mask meant only for __NR_mmap2 call for __NR_mmap, thus limiting the maximum
offset it can use with mmap64.
This patch fixes by setting the high mask only for __NR_mmap2 usage. The
posix/tst-mmap-offset.c already tests it and also fails for mips64n32. The
patch also change the test to check for an arch-specific header that defines
the maximum supported offset.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and I also tests tst-mmap-offset

Backport of commit 82bc69c012
and commit 30ba037546
without using DT_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS for optimizing the symbol table check.
This is needed so the internal abi between ld.so and libc.so is unchanged.
Avoid lazy binding of symbols that may follow a variant PCS with different
register usage convention from the base PCS.
Currently the lazy binding entry code does not preserve all the registers
required for AdvSIMD and SVE vector calls. Saving and restoring all
registers unconditionally may break existing binaries, even if they never
use vector calls, because of the larger stack requirement for lazy
resolution, which can be significant on an SVE system.
The solution is to mark all symbols in the symbol table that may follow
a variant PCS so the dynamic linker can handle them specially. In this
patch such symbols are always resolved at load time, not lazily.
So currently LD_AUDIT for variant PCS symbols are not supported, for that
the _dl_runtime_profile entry needs to be changed e.g. to unconditionally
save/restore all registers (but pass down arg and retval registers to
pltentry/exit callbacks according to the base PCS).
This patch also removes a __builtin_expect from the modified code because
the branch prediction hint did not seem useful.
* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_lazy_rel): Check
STO_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS and bind such symbols at load time.
STO_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS is a non-visibility st_other flag for marking
symbols that reference functions that may follow a variant PCS with
different register usage convention from the base PCS.
DT_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS is a dynamic tag that marks ELF modules that
have R_*_JUMP_SLOT relocations for symbols marked with
STO_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS (i.e. have variant PCS calls via a PLT).

nptl/tst-attr3 fails to build with GCC mainline because of
(deliberate) aliasing between the second (attributes) and fourth
(argument to thread start routine) arguments to pthread_create.
Although both those arguments are restrict-qualified in POSIX,
pthread_create does not actually dereference its fourth argument; it's
an opaque pointer passed to the thread start routine. Thus, the
aliasing is actually valid in this case, and it's deliberate in the
test. So this patch makes the test disable -Wrestrict for the two
pthread_create calls in question. (-Wrestrict was added in GCC 7,
hence the __GNUC_PREREQ conditions, but the particular warning in
question is new in GCC 8.)

With current GCC mainline, one strncat test involving a size close to
SIZE_MAX results in a -Wrestrict warning that that buffer size would
imply that the two buffers must overlap. This patch fixes the build
by adding disabling of -Wrestrict (for GCC versions supporting that
option) to the already-present disabling of -Wstringop-overflow= and
-Warray-bounds for this test.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that this restores the testsuite

Some strncat tests fail to build with GCC 8 because of -Warray-bounds

option needs disabling for them as well, which this patch does (with
an update on the comments; the DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT call for
-Warray-bounds doesn't need to be conditional itself, because that
option is supported by all versions of GCC that can build glibc).

(cherry picked from commit 1421f39b7e)
GCC 8 warns about more cases of string functions truncating their
output or not copying a trailing NUL byte.
This patch fixes testsuite build failures caused by such warnings in
string/tester.c. In general, the warnings are disabled around the
relevant calls using DIAG_* macros, since the relevant cases are being
deliberately tested. In one case, the warning is with
-Wstringop-overflow= instead of -Wstringop-truncation; in that case,
the conditional is __GNUC_PREREQ (7, 0) (being the version where
-Wstringop-overflow= was introduced), to allow the conditional to be
removed sooner, since it's harmless to disable the warning for a
GCC version where it doesn't actually occur. In the case of warnings
for strncpy calls in test_memcmp, the calls in question are changed to
use memcpy, as they don't copy a trailing NUL and the point of that
code is to test memcmp rather than strncpy.
Tested (compilation) with GCC 8 for x86_64-linux-gnu with

Current GCC mainline detects that nscd calls readlink with the same
buffer for both input and output, which is not valid (those arguments
are both restrict-qualified in POSIX). This patch makes it use a
separate buffer for readlink's input (with a size that is sufficient
to avoid truncation, so there should be no problems with warnings
about possible truncation, though not strictly minimal, but much
smaller than the buffer for output) to avoid this problem.
Tested compilation for aarch64-linux-gnu with build-many-glibcs.py.
[BZ #22446]
* nscd/connections.c (handle_request) [SO_PEERCRED]: Use separate
buffers for readlink input and output.

The resolv/res_debug.c function p_secstodate (which is a public
function exported from libresolv, taking an unsigned long argument)
does:
struct tm timebuf;
time = __gmtime_r(&clock, &timebuf);
time->tm_year += 1900;
time->tm_mon += 1;
sprintf(output, "%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d",
time->tm_year, time->tm_mon, time->tm_mday,
time->tm_hour, time->tm_min, time->tm_sec);
If __gmtime_r returns NULL (because the year overflows the range of
int), this will dereference a null pointer. Otherwise, if the
computed year does not fit in four characters, this will cause a
buffer overrun of the fixed-size 15-byte buffer. With current GCC
mainline, there is a compilation failure because of the possible
buffer overrun.
I couldn't find a specification for how this function is meant to
behave, but Paul pointed to RFC 4034 as relevant to the cases where
this function is called from within glibc. The function's interface
is inherently problematic when dates beyond Y2038 might be involved,
because of the ambiguity in how to interpret 32-bit timestamps as such
dates (the RFC suggests interpreting times as being within 68 years of
the present date, which would mean some kind of interface whose
behavior depends on the present date).
This patch works on the basis of making a minimal fix in preparation
for obsoleting the function. The function is made to handle times in
the interval [0, 0x7fffffff] only, on all platforms, with <overflow>
used as the output string in other cases (and errno set to EOVERFLOW
in such cases). This seems to be a reasonable state for the function
to be in when made a compat symbol by a future patch, being compatible
with any existing uses for existing timestamps without trying to work
for later timestamps. Results independent of the range of time_t also
simplify the testcase.
I couldn't persuade GCC to recognize the ranges of the struct tm
fields by adding explicit range checks with a call to
__builtin_unreachable if outside the range (this looks similar to
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80776>), so having added
a range check on the input, this patch then disables the
-Wformat-overflow= warning for the sprintf call (I prefer that to the
use of strftime, as being more transparently correct without knowing
what each of %m and %M etc. is).
I do not know why this build failure should be new with mainline GCC
(that is, I don't know what GCC change might have introduced it, when
the basic functionality for such warnings was already in GCC 7).
I do not know if this is a security issue (that is, if there are
plausible ways in which a date before -999 or after 9999 from an
untrusted source might end up in this function). The system clock is
arguably an untrusted source (in that e.g. NTP is insecure), but
probably not to that extent (NTP can't communicate such wild
timestamps), and uses from within glibc are limited to 32-bit inputs.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that this restores the build for arm
with yesterday's mainline GCC. Also tested for x86_64 and x86.
[BZ #22463]
* resolv/res_debug.c: Include <libc-diag.h>.
(p_secstodate): Assert time_t at least as wide as u_long. On
overflow, use integer seconds since the epoch as output, or use
"<overflow>" as output and set errno to EOVERFLOW if integer
seconds since the epoch would be 14 or more characters.
(p_secstodate) [__GNUC_PREREQ (7, 0)]: Disable -Wformat-overflow=
for sprintf call.
* resolv/tst-p_secstodate.c: New file.
* resolv/Makefile (tests): Add tst-p_secstodate.
($(objpfx)tst-p_secstodate): Depend on $(objpfx)libresolv.so.

The -Wstringop-truncation option new in GCC 8 detects common misuses
of the strncat and strncpy function that may result in truncating
the copied string before the terminating NUL. To avoid false positive
warnings for correct code that intentionally creates sequences of
characters that aren't guaranteed to be NUL-terminated, arrays that
are intended to store such sequences should be decorated with a new
nonstring attribute. This change add this attribute to Glibc and
uses it to suppress such false positives.
ChangeLog:
* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__attribute_nonstring__): New macro.
* sysdeps/gnu/bits/utmp.h (struct utmp): Use it.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/bits/utmp.h (struct utmp): Same.

Building glibc with current mainline GCC fails, among other reasons,
because of an error for use of strlen on the nonstring ut_user field.
This patch changes the problem code in getlogin_r to use __strnlen
instead. It also needs to set the trailing NUL byte of the result
explicitly, because of the case where ut_user does not have such a
trailing NUL byte (but the result should always have one).
Tested for x86_64. Also tested that, in conjunction with
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-11/msg00797.html>, it fixes
the build for arm with mainline GCC.
[BZ #22447]
* sysdeps/unix/getlogin_r.c (__getlogin_r): Use __strnlen not
strlen to compute length of ut_user and set trailing NUL byte of
result explicitly.

The fallback code of Linux wrapper for preadv2/pwritev2 executes
regardless of the errno code for preadv2, instead of the case where
the syscall is not supported.
This fixes it by calling the fallback code iff errno is ENOSYS. The
patch also adds tests for both invalid file descriptor and invalid
iov_len and vector count.
The only discrepancy between preadv2 and fallback code regarding
error reporting is when an invalid flags are used. The fallback code
bails out earlier with ENOTSUP instead of EINVAL/EBADF when the syscall
is used.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu on a 4.4.0 and 4.15.0 kernel.
[BZ #23579]
* misc/tst-preadvwritev2-common.c (do_test_with_invalid_fd): New
test.
* misc/tst-preadvwritev2.c, misc/tst-preadvwritev64v2.c (do_test):
Call do_test_with_invalid_fd.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/preadv2.c (preadv2): Use fallback code iff
errno is ENOSYS.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/preadv64v2.c (preadv64v2): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pwritev2.c (pwritev2): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pwritev64v2.c (pwritev64v2): Likewise.

If glibc is built with gcc 8 and -march=z900,
the testcase posix/tst-spawn4-compat crashes with a segfault.
In function maybe_script_execute, the new_argv array is dynamically
initialized on stack with (argc + 1) elements.
The function wants to add _PATH_BSHELL as the first argument
and writes out of bounds of new_argv.
There is an off-by-one because maybe_script_execute fails to count
the terminating NULL when sizing new_argv.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (maybe_script_execute):
Increment size of new_argv by one.
