Remove cached PID/TID in clone
This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

Save and restore vector registers in x86-64 ld.so
This patch adds SSE, AVX and AVX512 versions of _dl_runtime_resolve and _dl_runtime_profile, which save and restore the first 8 vector registers used for parameter passing. elf_machine_runtime_setup selects the proper _dl_runtime_resolve or _dl_runtime_profile based on _dl_x86_cpu_features. It avoids race condition caused by FOREIGN_CALL macros, which are only used for x86-64. Performance impact of saving and restoring 8 vector registers are negligible on Nehalem, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell when ld.so is optimized with SSE2. [BZ #15128] * sysdeps/x86_64/Makefile [$(subdir) == elf] (tests): Add ifuncmain8. (modules-names): Add ifuncmod8. ($(objpfx)ifuncmain8): New rule. * sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: Include <dl-procinfo.h> and <cpuid.h>. (elf_machine_runtime_setup): Use _dl_runtime_resolve_sse, _dl_runtime_resolve_avx, or _dl_runtime_resolve_avx512, _dl_runtime_profile_sse, _dl_runtime_profile_avx, or _dl_runtime_profile_avx512, based on HAS_ARCH_FEATURE. * sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.S: Rewrite. * sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.h: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/ifuncmain8.c: New file. * sysdeps/x86_64/ifuncmod8.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym (RTLD_SAVESPACE_SSE): Removed. * sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/tls.h (__128bits): Removed.

Include <kernel-features.h> explicitly where required.
This patch makes files using __ASSUME_* macros include <kernel-features.h> explicitly, rather than relying on some other header (such as tls.h, lowlevellock.h or pthreadP.h) to include it implicitly. (I omitted cases where I've already posted or am testing the patch that stops the file from needing __ASSUME_* at all.) This accords with the general principle of making source files include the headers for anything they use, and also helps make it safe to remove <kernel-features.h> includes from any file that doesn't use __ASSUME_* (some of those may be stray includes left behind after increasing the minimum kernel version, others may never have been needed or may have become obsolete after some other change). Tested x86_64 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is unchanged by this patch. * nptl/pthread_cond_wait.c: Include <kernel-features.h>. * nptl/pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock.c: Likewise. * nptl/pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock.c: Likewise. * nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/lowlevelrobustlock.c: Likewise. * nscd/nscd.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/i386/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise. * sysdeps/sh/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise. |
