Rename glibc.tune.ifunc to glibc.tune.hwcaps and move it to
sysdeps/x86/dl-tunables.list since it is x86 specicifc. Also
change type of data_cache_size, data_cache_size and
non_temporal_threshold to unsigned long int to match size_t.
Remove usage DEFAULT_STRLEN from cpu-tunables.c.
* elf/dl-tunables.list (glibc.tune.ifunc): Removed.
* sysdeps/x86/dl-tunables.list (glibc.tune.hwcaps): New.
Remove security_level on all fields.
* manual/tunables.texi: Replace ifunc with hwcaps.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_ifunc)):
Renamed to ..
(TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_hwcaps)): This.
(init_cpu_features): Updated.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (cpu_features): Change type of
data_cache_size, data_cache_size and non_temporal_threshold to
unsigned long int.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-tunables.c (DEFAULT_STRLEN): Removed.
(TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_ifunc)): Renamed to ...
(TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_hwcaps)): This. Update comments. Don't
use DEFAULT_STRLEN.
The current IFUNC selection is based on microbenchmarks in glibc. It
should give the best performance for most workloads. But other choices
may have better performance for a particular workload or on the hardware
which wasn't available at the selection was made. The environment
variable, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.ifunc=-xxx,yyy,-zzz...., can be used
to enable CPU/ARCH feature yyy, disable CPU/ARCH feature yyy and zzz,
where the feature name is case-sensitive and has to match the ones in
cpu-features.h. It can be used by glibc developers to override the
IFUNC selection to tune for a new processor or improve performance for
a particular workload. It isn't intended for normal end users.
NOTE: the IFUNC selection may change over time. Please check all
multiarch implementations when experimenting.
Also, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold=NUMBER is
provided to set threshold to use non temporal store to NUMBER,
GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_data_cache_size=NUMBER to set data cache
size, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_shared_cache_size=NUMBER to set
shared cache size.
* elf/dl-tunables.list (tune): Add ifunc,
x86_non_temporal_threshold,
x86_data_cache_size and x86_shared_cache_size.
* manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.ifunc,
glibc.tune.x86_data_cache_size, glibc.tune.x86_shared_cache_size
and glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/dl-sysdep.c: New file.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-tunables.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86/cacheinfo.c
(init_cacheinfo): Check and get data cache size, shared cache
size and non temporal threshold from cpu_features.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c [HAVE_TUNABLES] (TUNABLE_NAMESPACE):
New.
[HAVE_TUNABLES] Include <unistd.h>.
[HAVE_TUNABLES] Include <elf/dl-tunables.h>.
[HAVE_TUNABLES] (TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_ifunc)): Likewise.
[HAVE_TUNABLES] (init_cpu_features): Use TUNABLE_GET to set
IFUNC selection, data cache size, shared cache size and non
temporal threshold.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (cpu_features): Add data_cache_size,
shared_cache_size and non_temporal_threshold.
