GLIBC memset optimization for POWER8 uses the '.machine power8'
directive, which is only supported officially on binutils 2.24+. This
causes a build failure on older binutils.
Since the requirement of .machine power8 is to correctly assembly the
'mtvsrd' instruction and it is already handled by the MTVSRD_V1_R4
macro, there is no really needed of using it.
The patch replaces the power8 with power7 for .machine directive.
It fixes BZ#17869.
This patch fix the elf/ifuncmain6pie failure when building with GCC
4.9+. For some reason, the compiler removes the branch taken code at
resolve_ifunc (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h) as dead-code
and thus the testcase fails because the ifunc resolves branches to an
invalid memory location. It fixes by explicit adding a dependency of
value based on odp variable to avoid compiler optimization.
It fixes BZ#17868.
This patch replaces unsigned long int and 1UL with uint64_t and
(uint64_t) 1 to support ILP32 targets like x32.
[BZ #17870]
* nptl/sem_post.c (__new_sem_post): Replace unsigned long int
with uint64_t.
* nptl/sem_waitcommon.c (__sem_wait_cleanup): Replace 1UL with
(uint64_t) 1.
(__new_sem_wait_slow): Replace unsigned long int with uint64_t.
Replace 1UL with (uint64_t) 1.
* sysdeps/nptl/internaltypes.h (new_sem): Replace unsigned long
int with uint64_t.
soft-fp has various macros containing labels and goto statements.
Because label names are function-scoped, this is problematic for using
the same macro more than once within a function, which some
architectures do in the Linux kernel (the soft-fp version there
predates the addition of any of these labels and gotos). This patch
fixes this by using __label__ to make the labels local to the block
with the __label__ declaration.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.
* soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_ADD_INTERNAL): Declare labels with
__label__.
(_FP_FMA): Likewise.
(_FP_TO_INT_ROUND): Likewise.
(_FP_FROM_INT): Likewise.
This patch fix powerpc __get_clockfreq racy and cancel-safe issues by
dropping internal static cache and by using nocancel file operations.
The vDSO failure check is also removed, since kernel code does not
return an error (it cleans cr0.so bit on function return) and the static
code (to read value /proc) now uses non-cancellable calls.
The test is rewritten to look for the testable conditions and
exit once they are all detected. This prevents the test from
iterating over 2000 UIDs and looking up each one. It speeds up
the test and prevents it from failing if the system under test
has an NSS-based passwd that is slower than the test timeout.

The ability to recursively call dlopen is useful for malloc
implementations that wish to load other dynamic modules that
implement reentrant/AS-safe functions to use in their own
implementation.
Given that a user malloc implementation may be called by an
ongoing dlopen to allocate memory the user malloc
implementation interrupts dlopen and if it calls dlopen again
that's a reentrant call.
This patch fixes the issues with the ld.so.cache mapping
and the _r_debug assertion which prevent this from working
as expected.

This commit fixes semaphore destruction by either using 64b atomic
operations (where available), or by using two separate fields when only
32b atomic operations are available. In the latter case, we keep a
conservative estimate of whether there are any waiting threads in one
bit of the field that counts the number of available tokens, thus
allowing sem_post to atomically both add a token and determine whether
it needs to call futex_wake.

When fixing namespace issues for <fenv.h> functions I missed one call
to fesetenv for powerpc-nofpu. This patch changes this to a call to
__fesetenv.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu; it fixes the previously observed math.h
linknamespace test failures.
[BZ #17748]
* sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/feholdexcpt.c (__feholdexcept): Call
__fesetenv instead of fesetenv.
commit 050f7298e1 added an extern
declaration for __tls_get_addr that conflicts with the one in s390
dl-tls.h, based on whether __tls_get_addr is defined as a macro. The
rationale seems to be based on the assumption that __tls_get_addr is
exported for every architecture and hence an internal non-plt alias is
needed. This is not true for s390 though, since it exports
__tls_get_offset and not __tls_get_addr. This results in tst-audit9
being stuck in an infinite loop.
This patch fixes this by defining a __tls_get_addr macro to itself so
as to not use the conflicting declaration.
This patch fixes a performance regression on the POWER7/PPC64 memcmp
porting for Little Endian. The LE code uses 'ldbrx' instruction to read
the memory on byte reversed form, however ISA 2.06 just provide the indexed
form which uses a register value as additional index, instead of a fixed value
enconded in the instruction.
And the port strategy for LE uses r0 index value and update the address
value on each compare loop interation. For large compare size values,
it adds 8 more instructions plus some more depending of trailing
size. This patch fixes it by adding pre-calculate indexes to remove the
address update on loops and tailing sizes.
For large sizes it shows a considerable gain, with double performance
pairing with BE.
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strncmp. The implementation focus
on speeding up unaligned cases follwing the ideas of power8 strcmp.
The algorithm first check the initial 16 bytes, then align the first
function source and uses unaligned loads on second argument only.
Aditional checks for page boundaries are done for unaligned cases
(where sources alignment are different).
This patch optimized the POWER7 trailing check by avoiding using byte
read operations and instead use the doubleword already readed with
bitwise operations.
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strcmp using unaligned accesses.
The algorithm first check the initial 16 bytes, then align the first
function source and uses unaligned loads on second argument only.
Aditional checks for page boundaries are done for unaligned cases
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 st{r,p}ncpy using unaligned accesses.
It shows 10%-80% improvement over the optimized POWER7 one that uses
only aligned accesses, specially on unaligned inputs.
The algorithm first read and check 16 bytes (if inputs do not cross a 4K
page size). The it realign source to 16-bytes and issue a 16 bytes read
and compare loop to speedup null byte checks for large strings. Also,
different from POWER7 optimization, the null pad is done inline in the
implementation using possible unaligned accesses, instead of realying on
a memset call. Special case is added for page cross reads.
With 3eb38795db (Simplify strncat) the generic algorithms uses
strlen, strnlen, and memcpy. This is faster than POWER7 current
implementation, especially for unaligned strings (where POWER7 code
uses byte-byte operations).
This patch removes the assembly implementation and uses a multiarch
specialization based on default algorithm calling optimized POWER7
symbols.
This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strcpy using unaligned accesses.
For strings up to 16 bytes the implementation first calculate the
string size, like strlen, and issues a memcpy. For larger strings,
source is first aligned to 16 bytes and then tested over a loop that
reads 16 bytes am combine the cmpb results for speedup. Special case is
added for page cross reads.
It shows 30%-60% improvement over the optimized POWER7 one that uses
only aligned accesses.

This patch solves bug #16009 by implementing an additional path in
strxfrm that does not depend on caching the weight and rule indices.
In detail the following changed:
* The old main loop was factored out of strxfrm_l into the function
do_xfrm_cached to be able to alternativly use the non-caching version
do_xfrm.
* strxfrm_l allocates a a fixed size array on the stack. If this is not
sufficiant to store the weight and rule indices, the non-caching path is
taken. As the cache size is not dependent on the input there can be no
problems with integer overflows or stack allocations greater than
__MAX_ALLOCA_CUTOFF. Note that malloc-ing is not possible because the
definition of strxfrm does not allow an oom errorhandling.
* The uncached path determines the weight and rule index for every char
and for every pass again.
* Passing all the locale data array by array resulted in very long
parameter lists, so I introduced a structure that holds them.
* Checking for zero src string has been moved a bit upwards, it is
before the locale data initialization now.
* To verify that the non-caching path works correct I added a test run
to localedata/sort-test.sh & localedata/xfrm-test.c where all strings
are patched up with spaces so that they are too large for the caching path.
The ldbl-96 implementation of scalblnl (used for x86_64 and ia64) uses
a condition k <= -63 to determine when a standard underflowing result
tiny*__copysignl(tiny,x) should be returned. However, that condition
corresponds to values with exponent -16446 or less, and in the case of
-16446, the correct result for round-to-nearest depends on whether the
value is exactly 0x1p-16446 (half the least subnormal) or more than
that. This patch fixes the bug by changing the condition to k <= -64
and accordingly adjusting the exponent by 64 not 63 when converting to
a normal value.
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #17803]
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/s_scalblnl.c (twom63): Rename to
twom64. Adjust value to 0x1p-64L.
(__scalblnl): Only return standard underflowing result for K <=
-64 not K <= -63; adjust exponent for underflowing result by 64
not 63.
* math/libm-test.inc (scalbn_test_data): Add more tests.
(scalbln_test_data): Likewise.
The ldbl-96 implementation of scalblnl (used for x86_64 and ia64) is
incorrect for subnormal arguments (this is a separate bug from bug
17803, which is about underflowing results). There are two problems
with the adjustments of subnormal arguments: the "two63" variable
multiplied by is actually 0x1p52L not 0x1p63L, so is insufficient to
make values normal, and then GET_LDOUBLE_EXP(es,x), used to extract
the new exponent, extracts it into a variable that isn't used, while
the value taken to by the new exponent is wrongly taken from the high
part of the mantissa before the adjustment (hx). This patch fixes
both those problems and adds appropriate tests.
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #17834]
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/s_scalblnl.c (two63): Change value to
0x1p63L.
(__scalblnl): Get new exponent of adjusted subnormal value from ES
not HX.
* math/libm-test.inc (scalbn_test_data): Add more tests.
(scalbln_test_data): Likewise.
Linux 3.15 adds support for clock_gettime, gettimeofday, and time vDSO
(commit id 37c975545ec63320789962bf307f000f08fabd48). This patch adds
GLIBC supports to use such symbol when they are avaiable.
Along with x86 vDSO support, this patch cleanup x86_64 code by moving
all common code to x86 common folder. Only init-first.c is different
between implementations.
Linux kernel powerpc documentation states issuing a syscall inside a
transaction is not recommended and may lead to undefined behavior. It
also states syscalls does not abort transactoin neither they run in
transactional state.
To avoid side-effects being visible outside transactions, GLIBC with
lock elision enabled will issue a transaction abort instruction just
before all syscalls if hardware supports hardware transactions.
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.
Microblaze apparently has a variable page size (see thread below) and
should not hard-code any page-size related macros.
Also remove macros that are only used for BFD's trad-core support
which is not relavant for microblaze also according to the thread
starting here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2013-11/msg00028.html
This patch is neither built nor tested but mirrors a MIPS patch that
fixes the same issue.
Thanks,
Matthew
