The PAGE_COPY_THRESHOLD macro is meant to be overridden by
architecture-specific pagecopy.h, but it is currently done only by
mach; all other architectures use the default. Check to see if the
macro is defined in addition to whether it is set to a non-zero value.
This patch adds an ifunc power7 strcat symbol that uses the logic on
sysdeps/powerpc/strcat.c but call power7 strlen/strcpy symbols instead
of default ones.
shlib-versions files can contain ABI lines that map triplets to a
canonical ABI name. This name was once used for various purposes
where test baseline files for different ABIs went in a single
directory; now these purposes use sysdeps files, generation of headers
which have per-ABI variants uses abi-variants and related Makefile
variables and the shlib-versions ABI names are unused. This patch
duly removes those lines and associated build system support for them.
Tested for x86_64 (both a full testsuite run and confirming the
installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* Makeconfig ($(common-objpfx)soversions.mk): Do not generate
abi-name definition.
* scripts/soversions.awk: Do not handle or generate ABI lines.
* shlib-versions: Remove ABI entries.
* sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/shlib-versions: Remove file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/x32/shlib-versions: Remove ABI entry.
This patch defines ELF_MACHINE_NO_RELA on all architectures. Tested
only on x86_64 to verify that the sources before and after are
identical except for two instructions that pass the current line
number in dl-machine.h to assert_fail.
This patch makes non-ex-ports architectures set base_machine and
machine based on the original configured machine value in preconfigure
fragments, like ex-ports architectures, rather than in the toplevel
configure.ac.
Tested x86 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is
unchanged by the patch.
* configure.ac (base_machine): Do not set specially for particular
machines here.
* configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/powerpc/preconfigure: Move machine and base_machine
settings from configure.ac.
* sysdeps/i386/preconfigure: New file.
* sysdeps/s390/preconfigure: Likewise.
* sysdeps/sh/preconfigure: Likewise.
* sysdeps/sparc/preconfigure: Likewise.
Linux commit dd58a092c4202f2bd490adab7285b3ff77f8e467 added the
PPC_FEATURE2_VEC_CRYPTO auvx capability to indicate whether to
hardware supports vector crypto hardware instructions. This patch
adds its definition to powerpc hwcap bits.
This patch makes files using __ASSUME_* macros include
<kernel-features.h> explicitly, rather than relying on some other
header (such as tls.h, lowlevellock.h or pthreadP.h) to include it
implicitly. (I omitted cases where I've already posted or am testing
the patch that stops the file from needing __ASSUME_* at all.) This
accords with the general principle of making source files include the
headers for anything they use, and also helps make it safe to remove
<kernel-features.h> includes from any file that doesn't use
__ASSUME_* (some of those may be stray includes left behind after
increasing the minimum kernel version, others may never have been
needed or may have become obsolete after some other change).
Tested x86_64 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is
unchanged by this patch.
* nptl/pthread_cond_wait.c: Include <kernel-features.h>.
* nptl/pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock.c: Likewise.
* nptl/pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock.c: Likewise.
* nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/lowlevelrobustlock.c: Likewise.
* nscd/nscd.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/i386/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise.
* sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise.

* sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/tcb-offsets.sym: Likewise.
Optimization is achieved on 8 byte aligned strings with double word
comparison using cmpb instruction. On unaligned strings loop unrolling
is applied for Power7 gain.
This patch fixes the optimized ppc64/power7 strncat strlen call for
static build without ifunc enabled. The strlen symbol to call in such
situation is just strlen, instead of __GI_strlen (since the __GI_
alias is just created for shared objects).
This patch fixes a similar issue to
736c304a1a, where for PPC32 if the symbol
is defined as hidden (memchr) then compiler will create a local branc
(symbol@local) and the linker will not create a required PLT call to
make the ifunc work. It changes the default hidden symbol (__GI_memchr)
to default memchr symbol for powerpc32 (__memchr_ppc32).
This patch fixes the __copysignf optimized macro meant to internal libm
usage when used with constant value. Without the explicit cast to
float, if it is used with const double value (for instance, on
s_casinhf.c) double constants will be used and it may lead to precision
issues in some algorithms.
It fixes the following failures on PPC64/POWER7:

The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> data alignment [gain from aligned memory access on read/write]
> POWER7 gains performance with loop unrolling/unwinding
[gain by reduction of branch penalty].
> zero padding done by calling optimized memset
This patch changes de default symbol redirection for internal call of
memcpy, memset, memchr, and strlen to the IFUNC resolved ones. The
performance improvement is noticeable in algorithms that uses these
symbols extensible, like the regex functions.
This patch optimizes the FPSCR update on exception and rounding change
functions by just updating its value if new value if different from
current one. It also optimizes fedisableexcept and feenableexcept by
removing an unecessary FPSCR read.
This patch fixes some powerpc32 and powerpc64 builds with
--disable-multi-arch option along with different --with-cpu=powerN.
It cleanups the Implies directories by removing the multiarch
folder for non multiarch config and also fixing two assembly
implementations: powerpc64/power7/strncat.S that is calling the
wrong strlen; and power8/fpu/s_isnan.S that misses the hidden_def and
weak_alias directives.
This patch fixes the powerpc32 optimized nearbyint/nearbyintf bogus
results for FE_DOWNWARD rounding mode. This is due wrong instructions
sequence used in the rounding calculation (two subtractions instead of
adition and a subtraction).
Fixes BZ#16815.
This patch add an optimized strpbrk for POWER7 by using a different
algorithm than default implementation: it constructs a table based on
the 'accept' argument and use this table to check for any occurance on
the input string. The idea is similar as x86_64 uses.
For PowerPC some tunings were added, such as unroll loops and memory
clear using VSX instructions.
This patch add a optimized strcspn for POWER7 by using a different
algorithm than default implementation: it constructs a table based on
the 'accept' argument and use this table to check for any occurance
on the input string. The idea is similar as x86_64 uses.
For PowerPC some tunings were added, such as unroll loops and align
stack memory to table to 16 bytes (so VSX clean can ran without
alignment issues).
The roundl assembly implementation
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_roundl.S)
returns wrong results for some inputs where first double is a exact
integer and the precision is determined by second long double.
Checking on implementation comments and history, I am very confident the
assembly implementation was based on a version before commit
5c68d40169 that fixes BZ#2423 (Errors in
long double (ldbl-128ibm) rounding functions in glibc-2.4).
By just removing the implementation and make the build select
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_roundl.c instead fixes the failing math.
This fixes 16707.
The nearbyintl assembly implementation
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_nearbyintl.S)
returns wrong results for some inputs where first double is a exact
integer and the precision is determined by second long double.
Checking on implementation comments and history, I am very confident the
assembly implementation was based on a version before commit
5c68d40169 that fixes BZ#2423 (Errors in
long double (ldbl-128ibm) rounding functions in glibc-2.4).
By just removing the implementation and make the build select
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_nearbyintl.c instead fixes the failing
math.
Fixes BZ#16706.
The ceill assembly implementation (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_ceill.S)
returns wrong results for some inputs where first double is a exact
integer and the precision is determined by second long double.
Checking on implementation comments and history, I am very confident the
assembly implementation was based on a version before commit
5c68d40169 that fixes BZ#2423 (Errors in
long double (ldbl-128ibm) rounding functions in glibc-2.4).
By just removing the implementation and make the build select

Fixes BZ#16701.
This patch fixes an issue for powerpc32-fpu static build which fails
with an 'bzero' undefined reference. This patch adds bzero ifunc selector
for static builds and fixes the '__bzero_ppc' reference to default
memset symbol (since static memset build does not provide ifunc
selector).
Fixes BZ#16689.
This patch fixes an issue for powerpc64[le] static build where __bzero
is definied in multiple places (memset-ppc64.o and bzero.o). It is now
defined only in bzero.o and memset-ppc64.o only defined __bzero_ppc for
both dynamic and static library.
Fixes BZ#16683.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> hashing of needle.
> hashing avoids scanning of duplicate entries in needle across the string.
> initializing the hash table with Vector instructions (VSX) by quadword access.
> unrolling when scanning for character in string across hash table.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
1. Doubleword aligned memory access and compares using
cmpb instruction.
2. Loop unrolling for byte load/store.
3. CPU pre-fetch to avoid cache miss.
This patch fix the optimized powerpc-fpu modf/modff implementation
when using in non-default rounding mode where the zero sign is not
as expected. It fixes the libm testsuite tests
modf_downward (0) == 0.00000000000000000000e+00
modf_downward (20) == 0.00000000000000000000e+00
modf_downward (21) == 0.00000000000000000000e+00
Where the sign returned was negative.
