On x86-64, there may be multiple IFUNC implementations for a given
function. But we may be only interested in a subset of them. This
patch adds -f/--functions argument to compare a subset of IFUNC

Having a string comparison report with neither diff numbers nor header
yields a more useful output to be consumed by other tools.

options to avoid diff calculation and omit header, respectively.
(main): process --no-diff and --no-header
This is a minor style change to move the definition of I to its usage

Remove the slow paths from pow. Like several other double precision math
functions, pow is exactly rounded. This is not required from math functions
and causes major overheads as it requires multiple fallbacks using higher
precision arithmetic if a result is close to 0.5ULP. Ridiculous slowdowns
of up to 100000x have been reported when the highest precision path triggers.
All GLIBC math tests pass on AArch64 and x64 (with ULP of pow set to 1).
The worst case error is ~0.506ULP. A simple test over a few hundred million
values shows pow is 10% faster on average. This fixes BZ #13932.

This patch further improves math function benchmarking by adding a latency
test in addition to throughput. This enables more accurate comparisons of the
math functions. The latency test works by creating a dependency on the previous
iteration: func_res = F (func_res * zero + input[i]). The multiply by zero
avoids changing the input.
It reports reciprocal throughput and latency in nanoseconds (depending on the
timing header used) and max/min throughput in iterations per second:

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

Currently strsep calls strpbrk is is now a veneer to strcspn. Calling
strcspn directly is faster. Since it handles a delimiter string of size
1 as a special case, this is not needed in strsep itself. Although this
means there is a slightly higher overhead if the delimiter size is 1,
all other cases are slightly faster. The overall performance gain is 5-10%
on AArch64.
The string/bits/string2.h header contains optimizations for constant
delimiters of size 1-3. Benchmarking these showed similar performance for
size 1 (since in all cases strchr/strchrnul is used), while size 2 and 3
can give up to 2x speedup for small input strings. However if these cases
are common it seems much better to add this optimization to strcspn.
So move these header optimizations to string-inlines.c.
Improve the strsep benchmark so that it actually benchmarks something.
The current version contains a delimiter character at every position in the
input string, so there is very little work to do, and the extremely inefficent
simple_strsep implementation appears fastest in every case. The new version
has either no match in the input for the fail case and a match halfway in the
input for the success case. The input is then restored so that each iteration

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.
* benchtests/Makefile (bench-math): Add fminf and fmaxf.
(CFLAGS-bench-fmaxf.c): New rule.
(CFLAGS-bench-fminf.c): Likewise.
* benchtests/fmaxf-inputs: New file.
* benchtests/fminf-inputs: Likewise.
This patch adds fmax and fmin benchtests. It is based math/s_fmax_template.c
implementation which checks for basically four 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.
* benchtests/Makefile (bench-math): Add fmin and fmax.
(CFLAGS-bench-fmax.c): New rule.
(CFLAGS-bench-fmin.c): New rule.
* benchtests/fmax-inputs: New file.
* benchtests/fmin-inputs: Likewise.
Benchsets in benchtests use test-skeleton, so they too need to be
linked against the new libsupport DSO.
* benchtests/Makefile (binaries-benchset): Depend on libsupport
DSO.
calls strcspn, call strcspn directly so we get the end of the token without
an extra call to rawmemchr. Also avoid an unnecessary call to strcspn after
the last token by adding an early exit for an empty string. Change strtok
to tailcall strtok_r to avoid unnecessary code duplication.
Remove the special header optimization for strtok_r of a 1-character
constant string - both strspn and strcspn contain optimizations for this
case. Benchmarking this showed similar performance in the worst case,
but up to 5.5x better performance in the "found" case for large inputs.
* benchtests/bench-strtok.c (oldstrtok): Add old implementation.
* string/strtok.c (strtok): Change to tailcall __strtok_r.
* string/strtok_r.c (__strtok_r): Optimize for performance.
* string/string-inlines.c (__old_strtok_r_1c): New function.
* string/bits/string2.h (__strtok_r): Move to string-inlines.c.
This patch makes the sqrt benchmark use -fno-builtin, as already done
for benchmarks of ffs and ffsll, so that it actually benchmarks the
glibc function as (presumably) intended even in the presence of the
compiler inlining sqrt.
Tested for x86_64 and also used for benchmarking my ARM sqrt patch.
* benchtests/Makefile (CFLAGS-bench-sqrt.c): New variable.
Clear the destination buffer updated by the previous run in bench-memcpy.c
and test-memcpy.c to catch the error when the following implementations do
not copy anything.
[BZ #19907]
* benchtests/bench-memcpy.c (do_one_test): Clear the destination
buffer updated by the previous run.
* string/test-memcpy.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
* benchtests/bench-memmove.c (do_one_test): Add a comment.
* string/test-memmove.c (do_one_test): Likewise.
This patch adds full support for cross-building benchmarks. Some
benchmarks like those that need locales to be generated cannot be
built and are hence skipped for cross builds.
Tested by cross building for aarch64 on x86_64 and then running the
generated benchmark on aarch64.
* benchtests/Makefile (wcsmbs-benchset): Include only for
native builds and runs.
(LOCALES): Likewise.
(bench-build): Build timing-type here instead of the bench
target. Generate locale only for native builds.
* benchtests/README: Add note for cross-building.
For situations where we are cross-building or where we want to avoid
building on the target system, we want a way to only build benchmarks
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.
Tested on arm.
Makefile.in (bench-build): New target.
Rules (PHONY): Add bench-build target.
benchtests/Makefile (bench): Depend on bench-build.
(bench-build): New target.
From the bug:
Obsolete locale. The ISO-639 code for Hebrew was changed from 'iw'
to 'he' in 1989, according to Bruno Haible on libc-alpha 2003-09-01.

benchtests should use $(test-via-rtld-prefix) and $(+link-tests) like
other glibc tests.
[BZ #19783]
* benchtests/Makefile (run-bench): Replace $(rtld-prefix) with
$(test-via-rtld-prefix).
($(binaries-bench)): Replace $(+link) with $(+link-tests).
The ffs and ffsll functions were listed as math functions when they
are actually defined in strings.h and string.h respectively. Shuffle
around the Makefile variables a bit and make a separate space for ffs
and ffsll.
The sincos benchmark has only about a dozen inputs that don't measure
the impact of changes to various passes. Since much of the code
properties are inherited from sin and cos, copy those inputs in to get
more comprehensive coverage.
Prevent function calls that don't return anything from being optimized
out by the compiler by marking its input variables as used.
This prevents the sincos function call from being optimized out in the
benchmark.

This patch provides optimized versions of strcmp and wcscmp with the z13
vector instructions.
The architecture specific string.h had a typo, which leads to ommiting the
inline version in this file if __USE_STRING_INLINES is defined.
Tested this inline version by tweaking test-strcmp.c.

This script is a sample implementation that uses import_bench to
construct two benchmark objects and compare them. If detailed timing
information is available (when one does `make DETAILED=1 bench`), it
writes out graphs for all functions it benchmarks and prints
significant differences in timings of the two benchmark runs. If
detailed timing information is not available, it points out
significant differences in aggregate times.
Call this script as follows:
compare_bench.py schema_file.json bench1.out bench2.out
Alternatively, if one wants to set a different threshold for warnings
(default is a 10% difference):
compare_bench.py schema_file.json bench1.out bench2.out 25
The threshold in the example above is 25%. schema_file.json is the
JSON schema (which is $srcdir/benchtests/scripts/benchout.schema.json
for the benchmark output file) and bench1.out and bench2.out are the
two benchmark output files to compare.
The key functionality here is the compress_timings function which
groups together points that are close together into a single point
that is the mean of all its representative points. Any point in such
a group is at most 1.5x the smallest point in that group. The
detailed derivation is a comment in the function.
