These machine-dependent inline string functions have never been on by
default, and even if they were a good idea at the time they were
introduced, they haven't really been touched in ten to fifteen years
and probably aren't a good idea on current-gen processors. Current
thinking is that this class of optimization is best left to the
compiler.

.align on some targets takes a byte alignment, on others like powerpc,

particularly since x86 and powerpc are different. This patch fixes

Added strnlen POWER8 otimized for long strings. It delivers
same performance as POWER7 implementation for short strings.
This takes advantage of reasonably performing unaligned loads
and bit permutes to check the first 1-16 bytes until
quadword aligned, then checks in 64 bytes strides until unsafe,
then 16 bytes, truncating the count if need be.
Likewise, the POWER7 code is recycled for less than 32 bytes strings.

Commit c7debbdfac redirected the internal strrch to default powerpc64
implementation by redefining the weak_alias at
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strchr-ppc64.c:
#undef weak_alias
#define weak_alias(name, aliasname) \
extern __typeof (__strrchr_ppc) aliasname \
__attribute__ ((weak, alias ("__strrchr_ppc")));
This creates a __GI_strchr alias that clashes with the IFUNC symbol in
stprchr.os. There is not need to define the default version for internal
version, since ifunc should work internally for powerpc64. This patch
removes the weak_alias indirection.

The current s390 ifunc resolver for vector optimized functions and the common
libc_ifunc macro in include/libc-symbols.h uses something like that to generate ifunc'ed functions:
extern void *__resolve___strlen(unsigned long int dl_hwcap) asm (strlen);
asm (".type strlen, %gnu_indirect_function");
This leads to false debug information:
objdump --dwarf=info libc.so:

...
The debuginfo for the ifunc-resolver function contains the DW_AT_linkage_name
field, which names the real function name "strlen". If you perform an inferior
function call to strlen in lldb, then it fails due to something like that:
"error: no matching function for call to 'strlen'
candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'const char [6]'
to 'unsigned long' for 1st argument"
The unsigned long is the dl_hwcap argument of the resolver function.
The strlen function itself has no debufinfo.
The s390 ifunc resolver for memset & co uses something like that:
asm (".globl FUNC"
".type FUNC, @gnu_indirect_function"
".set FUNC, __resolve_FUNC");
This way the debuginfo for the ifunc-resolver function does not conain the
DW_AT_linkage_name field and the real function has no debuginfo, too.
Using this strategy for the vector optimized functions leads to some troubles
for functions like strnlen. Here we have __strnlen and a weak alias strnlen.
The __strnlen function is the ifunc function, which is realized with the asm-
statement above. The weak_alias-macro can't be used here due to undefined symbol:
gcc ../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c -c ...
In file included from <command-line>:0:0:
../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c:28:24: error: ‘strnlen’ aliased to undefined symbol ‘__strnlen’

make[2]: *** [build/string/strnlen.o] Error 1
As the __strnlen function is defined with asm-statements the function name
__strnlen isn't known by gcc. But the weak alias can also be done with an
asm statement to resolve this issue:
__asm__ (".weak strnlen\n\t"
".set strnlen,__strnlen\n");
In order to use the weak_alias macro, gcc needs to know the ifunc function. The
minimum gcc to build glibc is currently 4.7, which supports attribute((ifunc)).
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/Function-Attributes.html.
It is only supported if gcc is configured with --enable-gnu-indirect-function
or gcc supports it by default for at least intel and s390x architecture.
This patch uses the old behaviour if gcc support is not available.
Usage of attribute ifunc is something like that:
__typeof (FUNC) FUNC __attribute__ ((ifunc ("__resolve_FUNC")));
Then gcc produces the same .globl, .type, .set assembler instructions like above.
And the debuginfo does not contain the DW_AT_linkage_name field and there is no
debuginfo for the real function, too.
But in order to get it work, there is also some extra work to do.
Currently, the glibc internal symbol on s390x e.g. __GI___strnlen is not the
ifunc symbol, but the fallback __strnlen_c symbol. Thus I have to omit the
libc_hidden_def macro in strnlen.c (here is the ifunc function __strnlen)
because it is already handled in strnlen-c.c (here is __strnlen_c).
Due to libc_hidden_proto (__strnlen) in string.h, compiling fails:
gcc ../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c -c ...
In file included from <command-line>:0:0:
../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c:53:24: error: ‘strnlen’ aliased to undefined symbol ‘__strnlen’

make[2]: *** [build/string/strnlen.os] Error 1
I have to redirect the prototypes for __strnlen in string.h and create a copy
of the prototype for using as ifunc function:
__typeof (__redirect___strnlen) __strnlen __attribute__ ((ifunc ("__resolve_strnlen")));
weak_alias (__strnlen, strnlen)
This way there is no trouble with the internal __GI_* symbols.
Glibc builds fine with this construct and the debuginfo is "correct".
For functions without a __GI_* symbol like memccpy this redirection is not needed.
This patch adjusts the common libc_ifunc and libm_ifunc macro to use gcc
attribute ifunc. Due to this change, the macro users where the __GI_* symbol
does not target the ifunc symbol have to be prepared with the redirection
construct.
Furthermore a configure check to test gcc support is added. If it is not supported,
the old behaviour is used.
This patch also prepares the libc_ifunc macro to be useable in s390-ifunc-macro.
The s390 ifunc-resolver-functions do have an hwcaps parameter and not all
resolvers need the same initialization code. The next patch in this series
changes the s390 ifunc macros to use this common one.

This implementation utilizes vectors to improve performance
compared to current byte by byte implementation for POWER7.
The performance improvement is upto 4x. This patch is tested
on powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
This patch optimizes strcasestr function for power >= 8 systems. The average
improvement of this optimization is ~40% and compares 16 bytes at a time
using vector instructions. This patch is tested on powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
This utilizes vectors and bitmasks. For small needle, large
haystack, the performance improvement is upto 8x. For short
strings (0-4B), the cost of computing the bitmask dominates,
and is a tad slower.
In powerpc64, memchr was always pointing to the internal __GI_memchr
implementation. This patch fixes that and makes it use the
optimized POWER7 version when adequate.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/memchr-ppc64.c: Make
memchr not point to the internal __GI_memchr implementation.
This patches uses the default strcpy/stpcpy implementation for
POWER7/PPC64. This is faster in mostly inputs for benchtests
and for multiarch the implementation uses the POWER7 strlen and
memcpy.

This patch optimizes strstr function for power >= 7 systems. Performance
gain is obtained using aligned memory access and usage of cmpb
instruction for quicker comparison. The average improvement of this
optimization is ~40%. Tested on ppc64 and ppc64le.

This patch fixes the missing "__memcpy_ppc" symbol for memmove-ppc64
object in static builds. Since memcpy ifunc is not enabled in static
mode, the specialized symbols are not provided. The patch changed the
it to just "__memcpy" instead.
This patch cleanup some multiarch code related to memmmove
optimization. Initial IFUNC support added specialized wordcopy
symbols which turned in local IFUNC calls used by memmove default
implementation. The patch removes the internal IFUNC for wordcopy
symbols and uses local branches in the memmmove optimization instead.
This patch cleanup some multiarch code related to memmmove
optimization. Initial IFUNC support added specialized wordcopy
symbols which turned in local IFUNC calls used by memmove default
implementation.
This change by removing then and used the optimized memmove instead
for supported chips.
This patch simplify the default bcopy symbol for powerpc64 by just using
memmove instead of implementing using the default bcopy. Since the
symbol is deprecated, it trades speed by code size.
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 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.
