* Enhance --enable-tunables to select tunables frontend at build timeSiddhesh Poyarekar2016-12-311-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the GNU Tools Cauldron 2016, the state of the current tunables patchset was considered OK with the addition of a way to select the frontend to be used for the tunables. That is, to avoid being locked in to one type of frontend initially, it should be possible to build tunables with a different frontend with something as simple as a configure switch. To that effect, this patch enhances the --enable-tunables option to accept more values than just 'yes' or 'no'. The current frontend (and default when enable-tunables is 'yes') is called 'valstring', to select the frontend where a single environment variable is set to a colon-separated value string. More such frontends can be added in future. * Makeconfig (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. * configure.ac: Add 'valstring' as a valid value for --enable-tunables. * configure: Regenerate. * elf/Makefile (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. (CPPFLAGS-dl-tunables.c): Define TUNABLES_FRONTEND for dl-tunables.c. * elf/dl-tunables.c (GLIBC_TUNABLES): Define only when TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring. (tunables_strdup): Likewise. (disable_tunables): Likewise. (parse_tunables): Likewise. (__tunables_init): Process GLIBC_TUNABLES envvar only when. TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring. * elf/dl-tunables.h (TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring): New macro. (TUNABLES_FRONTEND_yes): New macro, define as TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring by default. * manual/install.texi: Document new acceptable values for --enable-tunables. * INSTALL: Regenerate.
* Initialize tunable list with the GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variableSiddhesh Poyarekar2016-12-311-1/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Read tunables values from the users using the GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable. The value of this variable is a colon-separated list of name=value pairs. So a typical string would look like this: GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.malloc.mmap_threshold=2048:glibc.malloc.trim_threshold=1024 * config.make.in (have-loop-to-function): Define. * elf/Makefile (CFLAGS-dl-tunables.c): Add -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns. * elf/dl-tunables.c: Include libc-internals.h. (GLIBC_TUNABLES): New macro. (tunables_strdup): New function. (parse_tunables): New function. (min_strlen): New function. (__tunables_init): Use the new functions and macro. (disable_tunable): Disable tunable from GLIBC_TUNABLES. * malloc/tst-malloc-usable-tunables.c: New test case. * malloc/tst-malloc-usable-static-tunables.c: New test case. * malloc/Makefile (tests, tests-static): Add tests.
* Add framework for tunablesSiddhesh Poyarekar2016-12-311-0/+320
The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables. Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the compatibility interface. * manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option. * INSTALL: Regenerate. * README.tunables: New file. * Makeconfig (CPPFLAGS): Define TOP_NAMESPACE. (before-compile): Generate dl-tunable-list.h early. * config.h.in: Add HAVE_TUNABLES. * config.make.in: Add have-tunables. * configure.ac: Add --enable-tunables option. * configure: Regenerate. * csu/init-first.c (__libc_init_first): Move __libc_init_secure earlier... * csu/init-first.c (LIBC_START_MAIN):... to here. Include dl-tunables.h, libc-internal.h. (LIBC_START_MAIN) [!SHARED]: Initialize tunables for static binaries. * elf/Makefile (dl-routines): Add dl-tunables. * elf/Versions (ld): Add __tunable_set_val to GLIBC_PRIVATE namespace. * elf/dl-support (_dl_nondynamic_init): Unset MALLOC_CHECK_ only when !HAVE_TUNABLES. * elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Likewise. * elf/dl-sysdep.c [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Include dl-tunables.h (_dl_sysdep_start): Call __tunables_init. * elf/dl-tunable-types.h: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.c: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.h: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.list: New file. * malloc/tst-malloc-usable-static.c: New test case. * malloc/Makefile (tests-static): Add it. * malloc/arena.c [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Include dl-tunables.h. Define TUNABLE_NAMESPACE. (DL_TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_mallopt_check)): New function. (DL_TUNABLE_CALLBACK_FNDECL): New macro. Use it to define callback functions. (ptmalloc_init): Set tunable values. * scripts/gen-tunables.awk: New file. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c: Include dl-tunables.h. (_dl_sysdep_start): Call __tunables_init.
