- Override <memcopy.h> so we use full 8-byte word copies on tilegx32
for memmove, then use op_t in memcpy instead of the previous
locally-defined word_t just to avoid proliferating identical types.
- Fix bug in memcpy prefetch that caused us to never prefetch past
the first cache line.
- Optimize misaligned memcpy by inlining _wordcopy_fwd_dest_aligned
instead of just doing a dumb word-at-a-time copy.
- Make memcpy safe for forward copies by doing all the loads from
a given cache line prior to doing a wh64 (cache line zero-fill)
on the destination. Remove now-redundant src == dst check.
- Copy and optimize the generic wordcopy.c routines to use the tile
"double align" instruction instead of the MERGE macro; to avoid
offset addressing mode (which tile doesn't have) by rewriting the
pointer math to load and store with a zero index; and to use
post-increment addresses in the inner loops to improve scheduling.
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.
The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[34567]86-*-gnu. The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 2.6.16 or later.
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:
i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32
powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware floating point required
powerpc64-*-linux-gnu
s390-*-linux-gnu
s390x-*-linux-gnu
sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
sparc*-*-linux-gnu
sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
The code for other CPU configurations supported by volunteers outside of
the core glibc maintenance effort is contained in the separate `ports'
add-on. You can find glibc-ports-VERSION distributed separately in the
same place where you got the main glibc distribution files.
Currently these configurations have code in the `ports' add-on:
alpha*-*-linux-gnu
am33*-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional
arm-*-linux-gnueabi
hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches.
ia64-*-linux-gnu
m68k-*-linux-gnu
mips-*-linux-gnu
mips64-*-linux-gnu
powerpc-*-linux-gnu Software floating point (--without-fp)
tilegx-*-linux-gnu
tilepro-*-linux-gnu
If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.
Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 2000-2011, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
