* Use correct includes in benchtestsWilco Dijkstra2018-03-156-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the benchtests are run with internal GLIBC headers, which is incorrect. Defining _ISOMAC in the makefile ensures the internal headers are bypassed. Fix all tests which were relying on internal defines or includes. * benchtests/Makefile: Define _ISOMAC. * benchtests/bench-strcoll.c: Add missing sys/stat.h include. * benchtests/bench-string.h: Define inhibit_loop_to_libcall macro. * benchtests/bench-strstr.c: Define empty libc_hidden_builtin_def. * benchtests/bench-strtok.c (oldstrtok): Use rawmemchr. * benchtests/bench-timing.h: Define attribute_hidden.
* benchtests: Don't benchmark 0 length calls for strncmpSiddhesh Poyarekar2018-03-061-24/+0

* benchtests: Reallocate buffers for every strncmp implementationSiddhesh Poyarekar2018-03-061-44/+53
| | | | | | | | | | Don't reuse buffers for different strncmp implementations since the earlier implementation will end up warming the cache for the later one. Eventually there should be a more elegant way to do this. * benchtests/bench-strncmp.c (do_test_limit): Reallocate buffers for every implementation. (do_test): Likewise.

* Remove slow paths from powWilco Dijkstra2018-02-121-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* benchtests: Memory walking benchmark for memmoveSiddhesh Poyarekar2017-10-052-1/+144
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This benchmark is an attempt to eliminate cache effects from string benchmarks. The benchmark walks both ways through a large memory area and copies different sizes of memory and alignments one at a time instead of looping around in the same memory area. This is a good metric to have alongside the simple memmove benchmark (which is only really useful for smaller sizes) especially for larger sizes where the likelihood of the call being done only once is pretty high. This benchmark is different from memcpy in that it also tests overlapping copies. * benchtests/bench-memmove-walk.c: New file. * benchtests/Makefile (string-benchset): Add it.

* Add math benchmark latency testWilco Dijkstra2017-08-172-10/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: "workload-spec2006.wrf": { "reciprocal-throughput": 100, "latency": 200, "max-throughput": 1.0e+07, "min-throughput": 5.0e+06 } * benchtests/bench-skeleton.c (main): Add support for latency benchmarking. * benchtests/scripts/bench.py: Add support for latency benchmarking.

* nptl: Invert the mmap/mprotect logic on allocated stacks (BZ#18988)Adhemerval Zanella2017-06-143-1/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 process) however a more straighfoward testcase shows that pthread_create could be faster using this patch: -- static const int inner_count = 256; static const int outer_count = 128; static void *thread1(void *arg) { return NULL; } static void *sleeper(void *arg) { pthread_t ts[inner_count]; for (int i = 0; i < inner_count; i++) pthread_create (&ts[i], &a, thread1, NULL); for (int i = 0; i < inner_count; i++) pthread_join (ts[i], NULL); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_attr_init(&a); pthread_attr_setguardsize(&a, 1<<20); pthread_attr_setstacksize(&a, 1134592); pthread_t ts[outer_count]; for (int i = 0; i < outer_count; i++) pthread_create(&ts[i], &a, sleeper, NULL); for (int i = 0; i < outer_count; i++) pthread_join(ts[i], NULL); assert(r == 0); } return 0; } -- On x86_64 (4.4.0-45-generic, gcc 5.4.0) running the small benchtests I see: $ time ./test real 0m3.647s user 0m0.080s sys 0m11.836s While with the patch I see: $ time ./test real 0m0.696s user 0m0.040s sys 0m1.152s So I added a pthread_create benchtest (thread_create) which check the thread creation latency.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cppflags-iterator.mk no longer has anything to do with CPPFLAGS; all it does is set libof-$(foo) for a list of files. extra-modules.mk does the same thing, but with a different input variable, and doesn't let the caller control the module. Therefore, this patch gives cppflags-iterator.mk a better name, removes extra-modules.mk, and updates all uses of both. * extra-modules.mk: Delete file. * cppflags-iterator.mk: Rename to ... * libof-iterator.mk: ...this. Adjust comments. * Makerules, extra-lib.mk, benchtests/Makefile, elf/Makefile * elf/rtld-Rules, iconv/Makefile, locale/Makefile, malloc/Makefile * nscd/Makefile, sunrpc/Makefile, sysdeps/s390/Makefile: Use libof-iterator.mk instead of cppflags-iterator.mk or extra-modules.mk. * benchtests/strcoll-inputs/filelist#en_US.UTF-8: Remove extra-modules.mk and cppflags-iterator.mk, add libof-iterator.mk.

* Add configure check for python programSiddhesh Poyarekar2016-12-221-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a configure check that looks for python3 and python in that order since we had agreed in the past to prefer python3 over python in all our code. The patch also adjusts invocations through the various Makefiles to use the set variable. * configure.ac: Check for python3 or python. * configure: Regenerated. * config.make.in (PYTHON): New variable. * benchtests/Makefile: Don't define PYTHON. (bench): Define target only if PYTHON was defined. * Rules: Don't define PYTHON. Define pretty printer targets only if PYTHON was defined. (tests-printers): Add to tests-unsupported if PYTHON is not found. (python-flags, python-invoke): Remove. (tests-printers-out): Use PYTHON instead of python-invoke.
* This patch cleans up the strsep implementation and improves performance.Wilco Dijkstra2016-12-211-21/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 does exactly the same amount of work. Reduce the number of testcases since simple_strsep takes a lot of time now. * benchtests/bench-strsep.c (oldstrsep): Add old implementation. (do_one_test) Restore original string so iteration works. * string/string-inlines.c (do_test): Create better input strings. (test_main) Reduce number of testruns. * string/string-inlines.c (__old_strsep_1c): New function. (__old_strsep_2c): Likewise. (__old_strsep_3c): Likewise. * string/strsep.c (__strsep): Remove case of small delim string. Call strcspn directly rather than strpbrk. * string/bits/string2.h (__strsep): Remove define. (__strsep_1c): Remove. (__strsep_2c): Remove. (__strsep_3c): Remove. (strsep): Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/internal_statvfs.c (__statvfs_getflags): Rename to __strsep.
