Current allocate_stack logic for create stacks is to first mmap all
the required memory with the desirable memory and then mprotect the
guard area with PROT_NONE if required. Although it works as expected,
it pessimizes the allocation because it requires the kernel to actually
increase commit charge (it counts against the available physical/swap
memory available for the system).
The only issue is to actually check this change since side-effects are
really Linux specific and to actually account them it would require a
kernel specific tests to parse the system wide information. On the kernel
I checked /proc/self/statm does not show any meaningful difference for
vmm and/or rss before and after thread creation. I could only see
really meaningful information checking on system wide /proc/meminfo
between thread creation: MemFree, MemAvailable, and Committed_AS shows
large difference without the patch. I think trying to use these
kind of information on a testcase is fragile.
The BZ#18988 reports shows that the commit pages are easily seen with
mlockall (MCL_FUTURE) (with lock all pages that become mapped in the
process) however a more straighfoward testcase shows that pthread_create
could be faster using this patch:

On x86_64 (4.4.0-45-generic, gcc 5.4.0) running the small benchtests
I see:
$ time ./test
real 0m3.647s
user 0m0.080s
sys 0m11.836s
While with the patch I see:
$ time ./test
real 0m0.696s
user 0m0.040s
sys 0m1.152s
So I added a pthread_create benchtest (thread_create) which check
the thread creation latency. As for the simple benchtests, I saw
improvements in thread creation on all architectures I tested the
change.

cppflags-iterator.mk no longer has anything to do with CPPFLAGS; all
it does is set libof-$(foo) for a list of files. extra-modules.mk
does the same thing, but with a different input variable, and doesn't

cppflags-iterator.mk a better name, removes extra-modules.mk, and
updates all uses of both.

This patch adds fmaxf and fminf benchtests. It is based on

different classes:
1. if x is greater or equal than y.
2. if x is less than y.
3. if x or y is signaling.
4. if y is nan.
Cases 1 and 2 are used for default input number (by mixing normal double
numbers and infinity), while case 3 and 4 are used each for on for a
benchmark class.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and powerpc64-linux-gnu.

This patch makes the sqrt benchmark use -fno-builtin, as already done

This patch adds full support for cross-building benchmarks. Some

For situations where we are cross-building or where we want to avoid

and then copy them over to the target system to run them. I have also
added a simple enhancement for the 'bench' target where all benchmark
binaries are built and then the benchmarks executed.

Add a microbenchmark for measuring malloc and free performance with
varying numbers of threads. The benchmark allocates and frees buffers
of random sizes in a random order and measures the overall execution
time and RSS. Variants of the benchmark are run with 1, 8, 16 and
32 threads.
The random block sizes used follow an inverse square distribution
which is intended to mimic the behaviour of real applications which
tend to allocate many more small blocks than large ones.

One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing,
as noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the
requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of
environment variables from the build system to the system running the
glibc under test. Although some variables are passed explicitly via
$(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be
passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build
system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including
variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect
the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects
not breaking the wrappers). In addition, the code in
cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it
depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could
well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents
contain things looking like other variable definitions).
This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via
$(test-wrapper-env). Makefile variables that previously used
$(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts
that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in
testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between
the two parts.
The common default environment settings in make-test-out are made into
a separate makefile variable that can also be passed to scripts,
rather than many scripts duplicating those settings (for testing an
installed glibc, it is desirable to have the GCONV_PATH setting on
just one place, so just that one place needs to support it pointing to
an installed sysroot instead of the build tree). The default settings
are included in the variables such as $(test-program-prefix), so that
if tests do not need any non-default settings they can continue to use
single variables rather than the split-up variables.
Although this patch cleans up LC_ALL=C settings (that being part of
the common defaults), various LANG=C and LANGUAGE=C settings remain.
Those are generally unnecessary and I propose a subsequent cleanup to
remove them. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, and while LANGUAGE
takes precedence over LC_ALL, it only does so for settings other than
LC_ALL=C. So LC_ALL=C on its own is sufficient to ensure the C
locale, and anything that gets LC_ALL=C does not need the other
settings.
While preparing this patch I noticed some tests with .sh files that
appeared to do nothing beyond what the generic makefile support for
tests can do (localedata/tst-wctype.sh - the makefiles support -ENV
variables and .input files - and localedata/tst-mbswcs.sh - just runs
five tests that could be run individually from the makefile). So I
propose another subsequent cleanup to move those to using the generic
support instead of special .sh files.
Tested x86_64 (native) and powerpc32 (cross).

glibc's Makeconfig defines some variables such as $(libm) and $(libdl)
for linking with libraries built by glibc, and nptl/Makeconfig
(included by the toplevel Makeconfig) defines others such as
$(shared-thread-library).
In some places glibc's Makefiles use those variables when linking
against the relevant libraries, but in other places they hardcode the
location of the libraries in the build tree. This patch cleans up
various places to use the variables that already exist (in the case of
libm, replacing several duplicate definitions of a $(link-libm)
variable in subdirectory Makefiles). (It's not necessarily exactly
equivalent to what the existing code does - in particular,
$(shared-thread-library) includes libpthread_nonshared, but is
replacing places that just referred to libpthread.so. But I think
that change is desirable on the general principle of linking things as
close as possible to the way in which they would be linked with an
installed library, unless there is a clear reason not to do so.)
To support running tests with an installed copy of glibc without
needing the full build tree from when that copy was built, I think it
will be useful to use such variables more generally and systematically
- every time the rules for building a test refer to some file from the
build tree that's also installed by glibc, use a makefile variable so
that the installed-testing case can point those variables to installed
copies of the files. This patch just deals with straightforward cases
where such variables already exist.
It's quite possible some uses of $(shared-thread-library) should
actually be a new $(thread-library) variable that's set appropriately
in the --disable-shared case, if those uses would in fact work without
shared libraries. I didn't change the status quo that those cases
hardcode use of a shared library whether or not it's actually needed
(but other uses such as $(libm) and $(libdl) would now get the static
library if the shared library isn't built, when some previously
hardcoded use of the shared library - if they actually need shared
libraries, the test itself needs an enable-shared conditional anyway).
Tested x86_64.

Using -lm and -lpthread results in the shared objects in the system
being used to link against. This happened to work for libm because
there haven't been any changes to the libm ABI recently that could
break the existing benchmarks. This doesn't always work for the
pthread benchmarks. The correct way to build against libraries in the
build directory is to have the binaries explicitly depend on them so
that $(+link) can pick them up.
Add a small library to print JSON values and use it to improve the
readability of the benchmark output and the readability of the
benchmark code.

* benchtests/bench-skeleton.c: Include json-lib.h.
(main): Use JSON library functions to do output of
benchmark results.
* benchtests/bench-timing-type.c (main): Output the
timing type simply, leaving formatting to the user.
* benchtests/json-lib.c: New file.
* benchtests/json-lib.h: Likewise.
We have a single thread that runs a no-op initialization once and then
repeatedly runs checks of the initialization (i.e., an acquire load and
conditional jump) in a tight loop. This gives us, on average, the
best-case latency of pthread_once (the initialization is the
exactly-once slow path, and we're not looking at initialization-related
synchronization overheads in this case).
