I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
GCC 9 has gained an enhancement to help detect attribute mismatches
between alias declarations and their targets. It consists of a new
warning, -Wattribute-alias, an enhancement to an existing warning,
-Wmissing-attributes, and a new attribute called copy.
The purpose of the warnings is to help identify either possible bugs
(an alias declared with more restrictive attributes than its target
promises) or optimization or diagnostic opportunities (an alias target
missing some attributes that it could be declared with that might
benefit analysis and code generation). The purpose of the new
attribute is to easily apply (almost) the same set of attributes
to one declaration as those already present on another.
As expected (and intended) the enhancement triggers warnings for
many alias declarations in Glibc code. This change, tested on
x86_64-linux, avoids all instances of the new warnings by making
use of the attribute where appropriate. To fully benefit from
the enhancement Glibc will need to be compiled with
-Wattribute-alias=2 and remaining warnings reviewed and dealt with
(there are a couple of thousand but most should be straightforward
to deal with).
ChangeLog:
* include/libc-symbols.h (__attribute_copy__): Define macro unless
it's already defined.
(_strong_alias): Use __attribute_copy__.
(_weak_alias, __hidden_ver1, __hidden_nolink2): Same.
* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__attribute_copy__): New macro.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memchr.c (memchr): Use __attribute_copy__.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcmp.c (memcmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.c (mempcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset.c (memset): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/stpcpy.c (stpcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcat.c (strcat): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strchr.c (strchr): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcmp.c (strcmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcpy.c (strcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcspn.c (strcspn): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen.c (strlen): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strncmp.c (strncmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strncpy.c (strncpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strnlen.c (strnlen): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strpbrk.c (strpbrk): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strrchr.c (strrchr): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strspn.c (strspn): Same.
Optimize strrchr/wcsrchr with AVX2 to check 32 bytes with vector
instructions. It is as fast as SSE2 version for small data sizes
and up to 1X faster for large data sizes on Haswell. Select AVX2
version on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper is preferred and AVX
unaligned load is fast.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
strrchr-sse2, strrchr-avx2, wcsrchr-sse2 and wcsrchr-avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add tests for __strrchr_avx2,
__strrchr_sse2, __wcsrchr_avx2 and __wcsrchr_sse2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strrchr-avx2.S: New file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strrchr-sse2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strrchr.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wcsrchr-avx2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wcsrchr-sse2.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wcsrchr.c: Likewise.
