Building glibc on s390-32 with gcc option -mzarch produces the error due to
sysdeps/s390/jmpbuf-unwind.h:37:10: (void *) (_Unwind_GetCFA (_context):
cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
Building on s390-32 in esa-mode or s390-64 is fine.
_Unwind_GetCFA returns an _Unwind_Word which is an unsigned
with a size of 4 bytes on s390-32 (esa-mode) and 8 bytes on s390-64.
On s390-32 (zarch-mode), _Unwind_Word has a size of 8 bytes, too.
_Unwind_Word is defined in sysdeps/generic/unwind.h as
typedef unsigned _Unwind_Word __attribute__((__mode__(__word__)));
In libgcc unwind header (<gcc-src>/libgcc/unwind-generic.h) this typedef has
changed to "typedef unsigned _Unwind_Word __attribute__((__mode__(__unwind_word__)));"
in June 2008.
With this mode, _Unwind_Word has a size of 4 bytes on s390-32 (zarch-mode).
The same change applies to _Unwind_Sword.
Thus this patch updates the unwind header according to these changes.
Afterwards, the int-to-pointer-cast-warning is gone away on s390-32 (zarch-mode)
and the testsuite runs with the same test-failures as s390-32 (esa-mode)
plus FAIL: c++-types-check. Here register_t is expected to has a size of 4 bytes,
but it has a size of 8 bytes due to:
posix/sys/types.h:205:typedef int register_t __attribute__ ((__mode__ (__word__)));
The libgcc-patch for gcc 4.4 can be found here:
"[PATCH, spu, unwind] Remove attribute ((mode (word))) from unwind.h"
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-06/msg00969.html
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/generic/unwind.h
(_Unwind_Word): Use __mode__(__unwind_word__)
instead of __mode__(__word__).
(_Unwind_Sword): Likewise.
This patch fixes the build error with gcc6:
array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
While including loop.c to construct the SINGLE(LOOPFCT) method
for converting from UTF-16 to UTF-8, the bytebuf array with length
MAX_NEEDED_INPUT is used as inptr. MAX_NEEDED_INPUT defaults to
MIN_NEEDED_INPUT if not defined before including loop.c.
Thus bytebuf has a length of 2.
This patch defines MAX_NEEDED_INPUT to MAX_NEEDED_TO, which is 4.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/s390/s390-64/utf8-utf16-z9.c
(MAX_NEEDED_INPUT): New define.
(MAX_NEEDED_OUTPUT): New define.

This patch introduces a s390 specific ifunc resolver macro for 32/64bit,
which chooses <func>_vx with vector instructions if HWCAP_S390_VX flag
in hwcaps is set or <func>_c if not.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/ifunc-resolve.h (s390_vx_libc_ifunc,
s390_vx_libc_ifunc2): New macro function.
The S390 specific test checks if the assembler has support for the new z13
vector instructions by compiling a vector instruction. The .machine and
.machinemode directives are needed to compile the vector instruction without
-march=z13 option on 31/64 bit.
On success the macro HAVE_S390_VX_ASM_SUPPORT is defined. This macro is used
to determine if the optimized functions can be build without compile errors.
If the used assembler lacks vector support, then a warning is dumped while
configuring and only the common code functions are build.
The z13 instruction support was introduced in
"[Committed] S/390: Add support for IBM z13."
(https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-01/msg00197.html)
ChangeLog:
* config.h.in (HAVE_S390_VX_ASM_SUPPORT): New macro undefine.
* sysdeps/s390/configure.ac: Add test for S390 vector instruction
assembler support.
* sysdeps/s390/configure: Regenerated.
The new IBM z13 is added to platform string array.
The macro _DL_PLATFORMS_COUNT is incremented to 8,
because it was not incremented by commit
"S/390: Sync AUXV capabilities and archs with kernel".
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/s390/dl-procinfo.c (_dl_s390_cap_flags): Add z13.
* sysdeps/s390/dl-procinfo.h (_DL_PLATFORMS_COUNT): Increased.
The HWCAP_S390_VX flag in hwcap field of auxiliary vector indicates
if the vector facility is available and the kernel is aware of it.
This can be tested with LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 <prog>.
Currently it does not show te, because it was not incremented
by commit "S/390: Add hwcap value for transactional execution.".
Thus _DL_HWCAP_COUNT is incremented by two.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/s390/dl-procinfo.c (_dl_s390_platforms): Add vector flag.
* sysdeps/s390/dl-procinfo.h: Add vector capability.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/bits/hwcap.h (HWCAP_S390_VX): Define.
On s390 all ifunc resolvers were implemented in multiarch/ifunc-resolve.c.
The resulting single object files has undefined references to all ifunc-functions.
This patch introduces one multiarch/<func>.c file for each of memcpy, memcmp
and memset with the function specific ifunc resolver. The different function
implementations are now implemented in multiarch/<func>-s390x.S
(moved from multiarch/<func>.S).
The new multiarch/ifunc-resolve.h file contains the ifunc-resolver macro
and other helper-macros. They are merged and are now used in common for
32/64bit. Therefore the __<func>_g5/__<func>_z900 functions were renamed to
__<func>_default.
This patch also enables testing the ifunc implementations by implementing
the function __libc_ifunc_impl_list. It uses the helper-macros of ifunc-resolve.h.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/s390/s390-32/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines):

On s390, the DXC(data-exception-code)-byte in FPC(floating-point-control)-
register contains a code of the last occured exception.
If bits 6 and 7 of DXC-byte are zero, the bits 0-5 correspond to the
ieee-exception flag bits.
The current implementation always uses these bits as ieee-exception flag bits.
fetestexcept() reports any exception after the first usage of a
vector-instruction in a process, because it raises an "vector instruction
exception" with DXC-code 0xFE.
This patch fixes the handling of the DXC-byte. The DXC-Byte is only handled
if bits 6 and 7 are zero.
The #define _FPU_RESERVED is extended by the DXC-Byte.
Otherwise the tests math/test-fpucw-static and math/test-fpucw-ieee-static
fails, because DXC-Byte contains the vector instruction exception when reaching
main(). This exception was triggered by strrchr() call in __init_misc().
__init_misc() is called after __setfpucw () in __libc_init_first().
The field __ieee_instruction_pointer in struct fenv_t is renamed to __unused
because it is a relict from commit "Remove PTRACE_PEEKUSER"
(87b9b50f0d) and isn´t used anymore.
ChangeLog:
[BZ #18610]
* sysdeps/s390/fpu/bits/fenv.h (fenv_t): Rename
__ieee_instruction_pointer to __unused.
* sysdeps/s390/fpu/fesetenv.c (__fesetenv): Remove usage of

we don't need to run tst-getpid2 with LD_BIND_NOW=1.

Fix usage of tabort in generated syscalls. r0 has special meaning
when used with this instruction, thus it will not generate
persistent errors, nor return an error code. This mitigates poor
CPU usage when performing elided critical sections.
Additionally, transactions should be aborted when entering a user
invoked syscall. Otherwise the results of the transaction may be
undefined.

Hi, as I wrote in previous patches a performance of checked strcpy and
stpcpy is terrible as these don't use sse2 and are around four times
slower that strcpy and stpcpy now.

decided just to improve generic implementation instead for easier

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.

PowerPC has always used __IPC_64 like most other architectures, which
means that __ASSUME_IPC64 can be always true. Also, all other
architecture implementations that use the ipc syscall are effectively
identical to the generic version and can be removed.
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.

Add strstr with unaligned loads. Fixes bug 12100.
which changes sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcasestr.c to
libc_ifunc (__strcasestr, __strcasestr_sse2);
This patch removes these file.
* i386/i686/multiarch/strcasestr-c.c: Removed.

Removing the use of -Wno-uninitialized for math/ shows errors for
ldbl-128ibm:
../sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_nearbyintl.c: In function '__nearbyintl':
../sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_nearbyintl.c:119:34: error: 'low' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
u.d[1].d = high - u.d[0].d + low;
^
../sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_nearbyintl.c:119:23: error: 'high' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
u.d[1].d = high - u.d[0].d + low;
^
These errors are correct: if the high part of the argument is a NaN,
and the low part is nonzero but has absolute value less than 2^52,
those variables can be used uninitialized. This patch rearranges the
code so that the variables are always initialized with the natural
values, and then possibly modified later, to avoid this uninitialized
use. (Note that there are still other issues with this code and NaNs
that are not fixed by this patch.) No bug filed in Bugzilla or
testcase added for the uninitialized use since it wasn't user-visible
with the compiler I tried (that is, I still got a NaN result).
Tested for powerpc.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_nearbyintl.c: Always initialize
variables for high and low parts before possibly modifying them.

The csqrt implementations in glibc can miss underflow exceptions when
the real or imaginary part of the result becomes tiny in the course of
scaling down (in particular, multiplication by 0.5) and that scaling
is exact although the relevant part of the mathematical result isn't.
This patch forces the exception in a similar way to previous fixes.

This brings hppa inline with all the other arches and main code where we
require TLS support everywhere. That means dropping the defines USE_TLS
and USE___THREAD, and dropping the binutils check (since we already have
a version requirement that is new enough).
Various fma implementations have logic that, when computing fma (x, y,
z) where z is large (so care needs taking to avoid internal overflow)
but x * y is small, scale x * y up instead of down to avoid internal
underflows resulting from scaling down. (In these cases, x * y is
small enough that only its sign actually matters rather than the exact
value.)
The threshold for scaling up instead of down was correct for "if the
unscaled values were multiplied, the low part of the multiplication
could underflow", and the scaling was sufficient to ensure that the
low part of the multiplication did not underflow (given that cases of
very small x * y - less than half the least subnormal - were
previously dealt with). However, the choice in the functions wasn't
between scaling up or no scaling, but between scaling up and scaling
down (scaling down actually being needed when x * y isn't so small
compared to z and so the exact value does matter). Thus a larger
threshold is needed to ensure that scaling down doesn't produce values
the multiplication of whose low parts underflows. This patch
increases the thresholds accordingly.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and mips64 (with the MIPS version of s_fmal.c
removed so that the ldbl-128 version gets tested instead of the
soft-fp one).
[BZ #18824]

The change in 0b5395f052 replaced calls
to __get_cpu_features@plt followed by a mov from rax to rdx, with a
single macro LOAD_RTLD_GLOBAL_RO_RDX. It is pretty clear that there
was a typo in s_floorf and __nearbyint due to which the (now incorrect)
mov was not removed. This patch removes that mov.

unnecessary movq.
* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/multiarch/s_nearbyint.S (__nearbyint):

Similar to various other bugs in this area, some tanh implementations

ldbl-128ibm tanhl uses a too-small threshold to decide when to return

No other arch exports these defines, and having them in the default
namespace causes conformance header tests to fail. Put them behind
the __USE_MISC define as that is what other arches seem to use.
The attached change fixes the miscompilation of sched_setaffinity() on
hppa. This is an old problem that was fixed on other architectures using
a similar approach to the attached change. See:

Build tested on trunk. Patch has been applied to debian glibc for some time.
As noted in the bug, the asm operands need to be copied to register
variables to avoid operand reloads in the principal asm of the macro.
See the arm implementation for reference. Otherwise we get:

It uses the same logic as the ARM version. The common case removes 1 FPSR

case the FPCR does not change.
The flt-32 implementation of powf wrongly uses x-1 instead of |x|-1
when computing log (x) for the case where |x| is close to 1 and y is

The semi-recent SYSCALL_CANCEL inclusion broke hppa due to the sysdep.h
headers not including the unix/sysdep.h headers. Rework the includes so
we match the other ports:
* hppa/sysdep.h:
- Do not include sys/syscall.h as the unix sysdep.h headers do it.
- Do not include config.h as libc-symbols.h does it, and it has no
#ifdef multiple-include protection, and it breaks when some files
do things like #undef __OPTIMIZE__.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/sysdep-cancel.h:
- Drop the generic/sysdep.h as the unix sysdep.h headers include it.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/sysdep.h:
- Change to the unix & core hppa sysdep header stacks.
- Undef a few defines that the core headers already set up for us.
The semi-recent SYSCALL_CANCEL macro imposes a slight nuance on the
implementation of INLINE_SYSCALL: the nr argument cannot be expanded
directly but must be passed on to another macro which may expand it.
Most arches don't notice because INLINE_SYSCALL is defined in terms
of INTERNAL_SYSCALL which has the additional layer of expansion, but
on hppa, it was attempting to expand it directly. That causes build
errors like so:
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigsuspend.c: In function '__sigsuspend':
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigsuspend.c:31:62: error:
implicit declaration of function 'LOAD_ARGS___SYSCALL_NARGS'
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigsuspend.c:31:304: error:
called object 'LOAD_ARGS___SYSCALL_NARGS(set, 8)' is not a function
So rewrite hppa's INLINE_SYSCALL to use INTERNAL_SYSCALL like other
arches do. This is also a nice clean up as the two macros had quite
a bit of duplicated logic.
On x86, linker in binutils 2.26 and newer consolidates R_*_JUMP_SLOT with

Way back in 2005 the atomic_exchange_and_add function was cleaned up to
avoid the explicit size checking and instead let gcc handle things itself.
Unfortunately that change ended up leaving beyond a cast to int, even when
the incoming value was a long. This has flown under the radar for a long
time due to the function not being heavily used in the tree (especially as
a full 64bit field), but a recent change to semaphores made some nptl tests
fail reliably. This is due to the code packing two 32bit values into one
64bit variable (where the high 32bits contained the number of waiters), and
then the whole variable being atomically updated between threads. On ia64,
that meant we never atomically updated the count, so sometimes the sem_post
would not wake up the waiters.
This define made more sense in the pre-sanitized kernel headers days,
but since we require kernel versions that are sanitized, we don't need
this hack anymore.
