This patch adds support for lock elision using ISA 2.07 hardware
transactional memory for rwlocks. The logic is similar to the
one presented in pthread_mutex lock elision.
This patch adds support for lock elision using ISA 2.07 hardware
transactional memory instructions for pthread_mutex primitives.
Similar to s390 version, the for elision logic defined in
'force-elision.h' is only enabled if ENABLE_LOCK_ELISION is defined.
Also, the lock elision code should be able to be built even with
a compiler that does not provide HTM support with builtins.
However I have noted the performance is sub-optimal due scheduling
pressures.
This patch fixes the incorrect guard by __USE_MISC of struct winsize and
struct termio in powerpc termios header. Current states leads to build
failures if the program defines _XOPEN_SOURCE, but not _DEFAULT_SOURCE
or either _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE. Without any definition,
__USE_MISC will not be defined and neither the struct definitions.
This patch copies the default Linux ioctl-types.h by adjusting only the
character control field (c_cc) size in struct termio.
This patch relies on the C version of the rwlocks posted earlier.
With C rwlocks it is very straight forward to do adaptive elision
using TSX. It is based on the infrastructure added earlier
for mutexes, but uses its own elision macros. The macros
are fairly general purpose and could be used for other
elision purposes too.
This version is much cleaner than the earlier assembler based
version, and in particular implements adaptation which makes
it safer.
I changed the behavior slightly to not require any changes
in the test suite and fully conform to all expected
behaviors (generally at the cost of not eliding in
various situations). In particular this means the timedlock
variants are not elided. Nested trylock aborts.
This patch guard the BSD definition for terminal modes in PowerPC
specific header fixing the following conformance failures:
FAIL: conform/POSIX/termios.h/conform
FAIL: conform/POSIX2008/termios.h/conform
FAIL: conform/UNIX98/termios.h/conform
This patch adds support for the ELFv2 ABI feature to remove function
descriptors. See this GCC patch for in-depth discussion:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01141.html
This mostly involves two types of changes: updating assembler source
files to the new logic, and updating the dynamic loader.
After the refactoring in the previous patch, most of the assembler source
changes can be handled simply by providing ELFv2 versions of the
macros in sysdep.h. One somewhat non-obvious change is in __GI__setjmp:
this used to "fall through" to the immediately following __setjmp ENTRY
point. This is no longer safe in the ELFv2 since ENTRY defines both
a global and a local entry point, and you cannot simply fall through
to a global entry point as it requires r12 to be set up.
Also, makecontext needs to be updated to set up registers according to
the new ABI for calling into the context's start routine.
The dynamic linker changes mostly consist of removing special code
to handle function descriptors. We also need to support the new PLT
and glink format used by the the ELFv2 linker, see:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-10/msg00376.html
In addition, the dynamic linker now verifies that the dynamic libraries
it loads match its own ABI.
The hack in VDSO_IFUNC_RET to "synthesize" a function descriptor
for vDSO routines is also no longer necessary for ELFv2.
This patch fixes the vDSO symbol used directed in IFUNC resolver where
they do not have an associated ODP entry leading to undefined behavior
in some cases. It adds an artificial OPD static entry to such cases
and set its TOC to non 0 to avoid triggering lazy resolutions.

This copies the sparc version of sigstack.h, which gives powerpc
#define MINSIGSTKSZ 4096
#define SIGSTKSZ 16384
Before the VSX changes, struct rt_sigframe size was 1920 plus 128 for
__SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE giving ppc64 exactly the default MINSIGSTKSZ of
2048.
After VSX, ucontext increased by 256 bytes. Oops, we're over
MINSIGSTKSZ, so powerpc has been using the wrong value for quite a
while. Add another ucontext for TM and rt_sigframe is now at 3872,
giving actual MINSIGSTKSZ of 4000.
The glibc testcase that I was looking at was tst-cancel21, which
allocates 2*SIGSTKSZ (not because the test is trying to be
conservative, but because the test actually has nested signal stack
frames). We blew the allocation by 48 bytes when using current
mainline gcc to compile glibc (le ppc64).
The required stack depth in _dl_lookup_symbol_x from the top of the
next signal frame was 10944 bytes. I guess you'd want to add 288 to
that, implying an actual SIGSTKSZ of 11232.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/bits/sigstack.h: New file.
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.
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).

As reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/533063 , preadv/pwritev prototypes
are wrong on 32-bit arches with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and as I've just
found, fallocate is wrong too.
The problem is that only off_t is remapped to the 64-bit type transparently,
__off_t is not.
