Falkor's memcpy and memmove share some implementation details,
therefore, the two routines are moved to a single source file
for code reuse.
The two routines now share code for small and medium copies
(up to and including 128 bytes). Large copies in memcpy do not
handle overlap correctly, consequently, the loops for
moving/copying more than 128 bytes stay separate for memcpy
and memmove.
To increase code reuse a number of small modifications were made:
1. The old implementation of memcpy copied the first 16-bytes as
soon as the size of data was determined to be greater than 32 bytes.
For memcpy code to also work when copying small/medium overlapping
data, the first load and store was moved to the large copy case.
2. Medium memcpy case no longer assumes that 16 bytes were already
copied and uses 8 registers to copy up to 128 bytes.
3. Small case for memmove was enlarged to that of memcpy, which is
less than or equal to 32 bytes.
4. Medium case for memmove was enlarged to that of memcpy, which is
less than or equal to 128 bytes.
Other changes include:
1. Improve alignment of existing loop bodies.
2. 'Delouse' memmove and memcpy input arguments. Make sure that
upper 32-bits of input registers are zeroed if unused.
3. Do one more iteration in memmove loops and reduce the number of
copies made from the start/end of the buffer, depending on
the direction of the memmove loop.
Benchmarking:
Looking at the results from bench-memcpy-random.out, we can see that
now memmove_falkor is about 5% faster than memcpy_falkor_old, while
memmove_falkor_old was more than 15% slower. The memcpy implementation
remained largely unmodified, so there is no significant performance
change.
The reason for such a significant memmove performance gain is the
increase of the upper bound on the small copy case to 32 bytes and
the increase of the upper bound on the medium copy case to 128 bytes.

This patch fixes the optimized implementation of strcpy and strnlen
on a big-endian arm64 machine.
The optimized method uses neon, which can process 128bit with one
instruction. On a big-endian machine, the bit order should be reversed
for the whole 128-bits double word. But with instuction
rev64 datav.16b, datav.16b
it reverses 64bits in the two halves rather than reversing 128bits.
There is no such instruction as rev128 to reverse the 128bits, but we
can fix this by loading the data registers accordingly.

Further optimize integer memcpy. Small cases now include copies up
to 32 bytes. 64-128 byte copies are split into two cases to improve
performance of 64-96 byte copies. Comments have been rewritten.
This supersedes the init_array sysdeps directory. It allows us to
check for ELF_INITFINI in both C and assembler code, and skip DT_INIT
and DT_FINI processing completely on newer architectures.
A new header file is needed because <dl-machine.h> is incompatible
with assembler code. <sysdep.h> is compatible with assembler code,
but it cannot be included in all assembler files because on some
architectures, it redefines register names, and some assembler files
conflict with that.
<elf-initfini.h> is replicated for legacy architectures which need
DT_INIT/DT_FINI support. New architectures follow the generic default
and disable it.
This patch adds a new macro, libm_alias_finite, to define all _finite
symbol. It sets all _finite symbol as compat symbol based on its first
version (obtained from the definition at built generated first-versions.h).
The <fn>f128_finite symbols were introduced in GLIBC 2.26 and so need
special treatment in code that is shared between long double and float128.
It is done by adding a list, similar to internal symbol redifinition,
on sysdeps/ieee754/float128/float128_private.h.
Alpha also needs some tricky changes to ensure we still emit 2 compat
symbols for sqrt(f).

Another change is that DZ_ZVA seems no work when setting zero, so we

This patch adds a new generic __pthread_rwlock_arch_t definition meant
to be used by new ports. Its layout mimics the current usage on some
64 bits ports and it allows some ports to use the generic definition.
The arch __pthread_rwlock_arch_t definition is moved from
pthreadtypes-arch.h to another arch-specific header (struct_rwlock.h).
Also the static intialization macro for pthread_rwlock_t is set to use
an arch defined on (__PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER) which simplifies its
implementation.
The default pthread_rwlock_t layout differs from current ports with:
1. Internal layout is the same for 32 bits and 64 bits.
2. Internal flag is an unsigned short so it should not required
additional padding to align for word boundary (if it is the case
for the ABI).

The current way of defining the common mutex definition for POSIX and
C11 on pthreadtypes-arch.h (added by commit 06be6368da) is
not really the best options for newer ports. It requires define some
misleading flags that should be always defined as 0
(__PTHREAD_COMPAT_PADDING_MID and __PTHREAD_COMPAT_PADDING_END), it
exposes options used solely for linuxthreads compat mode
(__PTHREAD_MUTEX_USE_UNION and __PTHREAD_MUTEX_NUSERS_AFTER_KIND), and
requires newer ports to explicit define them (adding more boilerplate
code).
This patch adds a new default __pthread_mutex_s definition meant to
be used by newer ports. Its layout mimics the current usage on both
32 and 64 bits ports and it allows most ports to use the generic
definition. Only ports that use some arch-specific definition (such
as hardware lock-elision or linuxthreads compat) requires specific
headers.
For 32 bit, the generic definitions mimic the other 32-bit ports
of using an union to define the fields uses on adaptive and robust
mutexes (thus not allowing both usage at same time) and by using a
single linked-list for robust mutexes. Both decisions seemed to
follow what recent ports have done and make the resulting
pthread_mutex_t/mtx_t object smaller.
Also the static intialization macro for pthread_mutex_t is set to use
a macro __PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER where the architecture can redefine
in its struct_mutex.h if it requires additional fields to be
initialized.

With only two exceptions (sys/types.h and sys/param.h, both of which
historically might have defined BYTE_ORDER) the public headers that
include <endian.h> only want to be able to test __BYTE_ORDER against
__*_ENDIAN.
This patch creates a new bits/endian.h that can be included by any
header that wants to be able to test __BYTE_ORDER and/or
__FLOAT_WORD_ORDER against the __*_ENDIAN constants, or needs
__LONG_LONG_PAIR. It only defines macros in the implementation
namespace.
The existing bits/endian.h (which could not be included independently
of endian.h, and only defines __BYTE_ORDER and maybe __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER)
is renamed to bits/endianness.h. I also took the opportunity to
canonicalize the form of this header, which we are stuck with having
one copy of per architecture. Since they are so short, this means git
doesn’t understand that they were renamed from existing headers, sigh.
endian.h itself is a nonstandard header and its only remaining use
from a standard header is guarded by __USE_MISC, so I dropped the
__USE_MISC conditionals from around all of the public-namespace things
it defines. (This means, an application that requests strict library
conformance but includes endian.h will still see the definition of
BYTE_ORDER.)
A few changes to specific bits/endian(ness).h variants deserve
mention:
- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/bits/endian.h is moved to
sysdeps/ia64/bits/endianness.h. If I remember correctly, ia64 did
have selectable endianness, but we have assembly code in
sysdeps/ia64 that assumes it’s little-endian, so there is no reason
to treat the ia64 endianness.h as linux-specific.
- The C-SKY port does not fully support big-endian mode, the compile
will error out if __CSKYBE__ is defined.
- The PowerPC port had extra logic in its bits/endian.h to detect a
broken compiler, which strikes me as unnecessary, so I removed it.
- The only files that defined __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER always defined it to
the same value as __BYTE_ORDER, so I removed those definitions.
The SH bits/endian(ness).h had comments inconsistent with the
actual setting of __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER, which I also removed.
- I *removed* copyright boilerplate from the few bits/endian(ness).h
headers that had it; these files record a single fact in a fashion
dictated by an external spec, so I do not think they are copyrightable.
As long as I was changing every copy of ieee754.h in the tree, I
noticed that only the MIPS variant includes float.h, because it uses
LDBL_MANT_DIG to decide among three different versions of
ieee854_long_double. This patch makes it not include float.h when
GCC’s intrinsic __LDBL_MANT_DIG__ is available.

Passing a second argument to the ifunc resolver allows accessing
AT_HWCAP2 values from the resolver. AArch64 will start using AT_HWCAP2
on linux because for ilp32 to remain compatible with lp64 ABI no more
than 32bit hwcap flags can be in AT_HWCAP which is already used up.
Currently the relocation ordering logic does not guarantee that ifunc
resolvers can call libc apis or access libc objects, so only the
resolver arguments and runtime environment dependent instructions can
be used to do the dispatch (this affects ifunc resolvers outside of
the libc).
Since ifunc resolver is target specific and only supposed to be
called by the dynamic linker, the call ABI can be changed in a
backward compatible way:
Old call ABI passed hwcap as uint64_t, new abi sets the
_IFUNC_ARG_HWCAP flag in the hwcap and passes a second argument
that's a pointer to an extendible struct. A resolver has to check
the _IFUNC_ARG_HWCAP flag before accessing the second argument.
The new sys/ifunc.h installed header has the definitions for the
new ABI, everything is in the implementation reserved namespace.
An alternative approach is to try to support extern calls from ifunc
resolvers such as getauxval, but that seems non-trivial

Avoid lazy binding of symbols that may follow a variant PCS with different
register usage convention from the base PCS.
Currently the lazy binding entry code does not preserve all the registers
required for AdvSIMD and SVE vector calls. Saving and restoring all
registers unconditionally may break existing binaries, even if they never
use vector calls, because of the larger stack requirement for lazy
resolution, which can be significant on an SVE system.
The solution is to mark all symbols in the symbol table that may follow
a variant PCS so the dynamic linker can handle them specially. In this
patch such symbols are always resolved at load time, not lazily.
So currently LD_AUDIT for variant PCS symbols are not supported, for that
the _dl_runtime_profile entry needs to be changed e.g. to unconditionally
save/restore all registers (but pass down arg and retval registers to
pltentry/exit callbacks according to the base PCS).
This patch also removes a __builtin_expect from the modified code because
the branch prediction hint did not seem useful.

5. Invariant code of the loop epilogue was hoisted out.
6. As the current size of the ext chunk is exactly 16
instructions long "nop" was added at the beginning
of the code sequence so that the loop entry for all the
chunks be aligned.
* sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memcpy_thunderx2.S: Cleanup branching
and remove redundant code.
This version uses general register based memory instruction to load
data, because vector register based is slightly slower in emag.
Character-matching is performed on 16-byte (both size and alignment)
memory block in parallel each iteration.
* sysdeps/aarch64/memchr.S (__memchr): Rename to MEMCHR.
[!MEMCHR](MEMCHR): Set to __memchr.
* sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines):
Add memchr_generic and memchr_nosimd.
* sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add memchr ifuncs.
* sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memchr.c: New file.
* sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memchr_generic.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memchr_nosimd.S: Likewise.
