A new build flag, _TIME_BITS, enables the usage of the newer 64-bit time symbols for legacy ABI (where 32-bit time_t is default). The 64 bit time support is only enabled if LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) is also used. Different than LFS support, the y2038 symbols are added only for the required ABIs (armhf, csky, hppa, i386, m68k, microblaze, mips32, mips64-n32, nios2, powerpc32, sparc32, s390-32, and sh). The ABIs with 64-bit time support are unchanged, both for symbol and types redirection. On Linux the full 64-bit time support requires a minimum of kernel version v5.1. Otherwise, the 32-bit fallbacks are used and might results in error with overflow return code (EOVERFLOW). The i686-gnu does not yet support 64-bit time. This patch exports following rediretions to support 64-bit time: * libc: adjtime adjtimex clock_adjtime clock_getres clock_gettime clock_nanosleep clock_settime cnd_timedwait ctime ctime_r difftime fstat fstatat futimens futimes futimesat getitimer getrusage gettimeofday gmtime gmtime_r localtime localtime_r lstat_time lutimes mktime msgctl mtx_timedlock nanosleep nanosleep ntp_gettime ntp_gettimex ppoll pselec pselect pthread_clockjoin_np pthread_cond_clockwait pthread_cond_timedwait pthread_mutex_clocklock pthread_mutex_timedlock pthread_rwlock_clockrdlock pthread_rwlock_clockwrlock pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock pthread_timedjoin_np recvmmsg sched_rr_get_interval select sem_clockwait semctl semtimedop sem_timedwait setitimer settimeofday shmctl sigtimedwait stat thrd_sleep time timegm timerfd_gettime timerfd_settime timespec_get utime utimensat utimes utimes wait3 wait4 * librt: aio_suspend mq_timedreceive mq_timedsend timer_gettime timer_settime * libanl: gai_suspend Reviewed-by: Lukasz Majewski <lukma@denx.de> Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Tested-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> |

TUNABLE FRAMEWORK ================= Tunables is a feature in the GNU C Library that allows application authors and distribution maintainers to alter the runtime library behaviour to match their workload. The tunable framework allows modules within glibc to register variables that may be tweaked through an environment variable. It aims to enforce a strict namespace rule to bring consistency to naming of these tunable environment variables across the project. This document is a guide for glibc developers to add tunables to the framework. ADDING A NEW TUNABLE -------------------- The TOP_NAMESPACE macro is defined by default as 'glibc'. If distributions intend to add their own tunables, they should do so in a different top namespace by overriding the TOP_NAMESPACE macro for that tunable. Downstream implementations are discouraged from using the 'glibc' top namespace for tunables they don't already have consensus to push upstream. There are three steps to adding a tunable: 1. Add a tunable to the list and fully specify its properties: For each tunable you want to add, make an entry in elf/dl-tunables.list. The format of the file is as follows: TOP_NAMESPACE { NAMESPACE1 { TUNABLE1 { # tunable attributes, one per line } # A tunable with default attributes, i.e. string variable. TUNABLE2 TUNABLE3 { # its attributes } } NAMESPACE2 { ... } } The list of allowed attributes are: - type: Data type. Defaults to STRING. Allowed types are: INT_32, UINT_64, SIZE_T and STRING. Numeric types may be in octal or hexadecimal format too. - minval: Optional minimum acceptable value. For a string type this is the minimum length of the value. - maxval: Optional maximum acceptable value. For a string type this is the maximum length of the value. - default: Specify an optional default value for the tunable. - env_alias: An alias environment variable - security_level: Specify security level of the tunable for AT_SECURE binaries. Valid values are: SXID_ERASE: (default) Do not read and do not pass on to child processes. SXID_IGNORE: Do not read, but retain for non-AT_SECURE child processes. NONE: Read all the time. 2. Use TUNABLE_GET/TUNABLE_SET/TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS to get and set tunables. 3. OPTIONAL: If tunables in a namespace are being used multiple times within a specific module, set the TUNABLE_NAMESPACE macro to reduce the amount of typing. GETTING AND SETTING TUNABLES ---------------------------- When the TUNABLE_NAMESPACE macro is defined, one may get tunables in that module using the TUNABLE_GET macro as follows: val = TUNABLE_GET (check, int32_t, TUNABLE_CALLBACK (check_callback)) where 'check' is the tunable name, 'int32_t' is the C type of the tunable and 'check_callback' is the function to call if the tunable got initialized to a non-default value. The macro returns the value as type 'int32_t'. The callback function should be defined as follows: void TUNABLE_CALLBACK (check_callback) (int32_t *valp) { ... } where it can expect the tunable value to be passed in VALP. Tunables in the module can be updated using: TUNABLE_SET (check, val) where 'check' is the tunable name and 'val' is a value of same type. To get and set tunables in a different namespace from that module, use the full form of the macros as follows: val = TUNABLE_GET_FULL (glibc, cpu, hwcap_mask, uint64_t, NULL) TUNABLE_SET_FULL (glibc, cpu, hwcap_mask, val) where 'glibc' is the top namespace, 'cpu' is the tunable namespace and the remaining arguments are the same as the short form macros. The minimum and maximum values can updated together with the tunable value using: TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS (check, val, min, max) where 'check' is the tunable name, 'val' is a value of same type, 'min' and 'max' are the minimum and maximum values of the tunable. To set the minimum and maximum values of tunables in a different namespace from that module, use the full form of the macros as follows: val = TUNABLE_GET_FULL (glibc, cpu, hwcap_mask, uint64_t, NULL) TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS_FULL (glibc, cpu, hwcap_mask, val, min, max) where 'glibc' is the top namespace, 'cpu' is the tunable namespace and the remaining arguments are the same as the short form macros. When TUNABLE_NAMESPACE is not defined in a module, TUNABLE_GET is equivalent to TUNABLE_GET_FULL, so you will need to provide full namespace information for both macros. Likewise for TUNABLE_SET, TUNABLE_SET_FULL, TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS and TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS_FULL. ** IMPORTANT NOTE ** The tunable list is set as read-only after the dynamic linker relocates itself, so setting tunable values must be limited only to tunables within the dynamic linker, that too before relocation. FUTURE WORK ----------- The framework currently only allows a one-time initialization of variables through environment variables and in some cases, modification of variables via an API call. A future goals for this project include: - Setting system-wide and user-wide defaults for tunables through some mechanism like a configuration file. - Allow tweaking of some tunables at runtime
