Profiling git's test suite, Linus noted [1] that a disproportionately
large amount of time was spent reading /proc/meminfo. This is done by
the glibc functions get_phys_pages and get_avphys_pages, but they only
need the MemTotal and MemFree fields, respectively. That same
information can be obtained with a single syscall, sysinfo, instead of
six: open, fstat, mmap, read, close, munmap. While sysinfo also
provides more than necessary, it does a lot less work than what the
kernel needs to do to provide the entire /proc/meminfo. Both strace -T
and in-app microbenchmarks shows that the sysinfo() approach is
roughly an order of magnitude faster.
sysinfo() is much older than what glibc currently requires, so I don't
think there's any reason to keep the old parsing code. Moreover, this
makes get_[av]phys_pages work even in the absence of /proc.
Linus noted that something as simple as 'bash -c "echo"' would trigger
the reading of /proc/meminfo, but gdb says that many more applications
than just bash are affected:
Starting program: /bin/bash "-c" "echo"
Breakpoint 1, __get_phys_pages () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getsysstats.c:283
283 ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getsysstats.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb) bt
So it seems that any application that uses qsort on a moderately sized
array will incur this cost (once), which is obviously proportionately
more expensive for lots of short-lived processes (such as the git test
suite).

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getsysstats.c (__get_phys_pages):
Use sysinfo system call instead of parsing /proc/meminfo.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getsysstats.c (__get_avphys_pages):
Likewise.
__get_nprocs is called from malloc code, but calls fgets_unlocked,
which is not an ISO C or POSIX function. This patch fixes it to call
a new __fgets_unlocked name instead.
Note: there are various other uses of fgets_unlocked in glibc's
libraries, and I haven't yet investigated which others might also be
problematic (called directly or indirectly from standard functions)
and so need to change to use __fgets_unlocked.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that disassembly of installed shared
libraries is unchanged by the patch).
[BZ #17582]

This patch removes conditionals on __ASSUME_O_CLOEXEC, and on
O_CLOEXEC being defined, in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/, now that
O_CLOEXEC support can be unconditionally assumed.
The patch is conservative in what it changes and further followup
cleanups may be possible. It may be possible to remove dl-opendir.c,
but the patch does not do so, just removing a redundant undefine and
redefine of __ASSUME_O_CLOEXEC. Also, __ASSUME_O_CLOEXEC is defined
unconditionally for Hurd as well as Linux. Thus, if we decide that
O_CLOEXEC support is a required feature of any glibc port, we could
remove __ASSUME_O_CLOEXEC and all conditionals on it throughout glibc,
rather than just cleaning up sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/.
Tested x86_64 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is
unchanged by this patch.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-opendir.c (__ASSUME_O_CLOEXEC): Do
not undefine and redefine.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getsysstats.c (__get_nprocs)
[O_CLOEXEC]: Make code unconditional.
(__get_nprocs) [!O_CLOEXEC]: Remove conditional code.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/shm_open.c: Do not include
<kernel-features.h>.
[O_CLOEXEC && !__ASSUME_O_CLOEXEC] (have_o_cloexec): Remove
conditional variable definition.
(shm_open) [O_CLOEXEC]: Make code unconditional.
(shm_open) [!O_CLOEXEC || !__ASSUME_O_CLOEXEC]: Remove conditional
code.
The implementation of __get_nprocs uses a stactic variable to cache
the value of the current number of processors. The caching breaks when
'time (NULL) == 0':
$ cat nproc.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
time_t t;
struct timeval tv = {0, 0};
printf("settimeofday({0, 0}, NULL) = %d\n", settimeofday(&tv, NULL));
t = time(NULL);
printf("Time: %d, CPUs: %d\n", (unsigned int)t, get_nprocs());
return 0;
}
$ gcc -O3 nproc.c
$ ./a.out
settimeofday({0, 0}, NULL) = -1
Time: 1401311578, CPUs: 4
$ sudo ./a.out
settimeofday({0, 0}, NULL) = 0
Time: 0, CPUs: 0
The problem is with the condition used to check whether a cached
value should be returned or not:
static int cached_result;
static time_t timestamp;
time_t now = time (NULL);
time_t prev = timestamp;
atomic_read_barrier ();
if (now == prev)
return cached_result;
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that 'cached_result' has
been set at least once before returning it.
are always at least 4 bytes in the returned line.

* stdio-common/vfprintf.c: Only declare __flockfile and __funlockfile
for !USE_IN_LIBIO.
[USE_IN_LIBIO]: Call _IO_flockfile and _IO_funlockfile instead of
__flockfile and __funlockfile.
Reported by NIIBE Yutaka.
* crypt/md5.c: Change form of copyright message according to GNITS
rules.
Add warning for requirement on RESBUF parameter for `md5_finish_ctx'
and `md5_read_ctx' function.
* crypt/md5.h: Likewise.
* grp/testgrp.c: Don't use perror for error cases since getgr* and
getpw* functions do not return usable error codes.
