* Linux: Remove rseq supportFlorian Weimer2020-07-161-64/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals to change the size of struct rseq, which would make the glibc ABI dependent on the version of the kernels used for building glibc. This is of course not acceptable. This reverts commit 48699da1c468543ade14777819bd1b4d652709de ("elf: Support at least 32-byte alignment in static dlopen"), commit 8f4632deb3545b2949cec5454afc3cb21a0024ea ("Linux: rseq registration tests"), commit 6e29cb3f61ff5432c78a1c84b0d9b123a350ab36 ("Linux: Use rseq in sched_getcpu if available"), and commit 0c76fc3c2b346dc5401dc055d97d4279632b0fb3 ("Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creation"), resolving the conflicts introduced by the ARC port and the TLS static surplus changes.

* Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creationMathieu Desnoyers2020-07-061-0/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for each thread (excluding main). "rseq" stands for Restartable Sequences. See the rseq(2) man page proposed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/19/647 Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec5c. The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18. The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working. The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been increased in quite a while. The cost in terms of additional TLS storage is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related dlopen failures.

* nptl: Add pthread_clockjoin_npMike Crowe2019-11-011-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | Introduce pthread_clockjoin_np as a version of pthread_timedjoin_np that accepts a clockid_t parameter to indicate which clock the timeout should be measured against. This mirrors the recently-added POSIX-proposed "clock" wait functions. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>

* Revise the documentation of simple calendar time.Zack Weinberg2019-10-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a thorough revision of all the material relating to the functions time, stime, gettimeofday, settimeofday, clock_gettime, clock_getres, clock_settime, and difftime, spilling over into the discussion of time-related data types (which now get their own section) and touching the adjtime family as well (which deserves its own thorough revision, but I'd have to do a bunch of research first). Substantive changes are: * Document clock_gettime, clock_getres, and clock_settime. (Only CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC are documented; the others are either a bit too Linux-specific, or have more to do with measuring CPU/processor time. That section _also_ deserves its own thorough revision but again I'd have to do a bunch of research first.) * Present gettimeofday, settimeofday, and struct timeval as obsolete relative to clock_*. * Remove the documentation of struct timezone. Matching POSIX, say that the type of the second argument to gettimeofday and settimeofday is [const] void *. * Clarify ISO C and POSIX's requirements on time_t. Clarify the circumstances under which difftime is equivalent to simple subtraction. * Consolidate documentation of most of the time-related data types into a new section "Time Types," right after "Time Basics." (The exceptions are struct tm, which stays in "Broken-down Time," and struct times, which stays in "Processor And CPU Time." * The "Elapsed Time" section is now called "Calculating Elapsed Time" and includes only difftime and the discussion of how to compute timeval differences by hand. * Fold the "Simple Calendar Time," "High Resolution Calendar," and "High Accuracy Clock" sections together into two new sections titled "Getting the Time" and "Setting and Adjusting the Time."

* Remove CPU set size checking from affinity functions [BZ #19143]Florian Weimer2015-11-241-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With current kernel versions, the check does not reliably detect that unavailable CPUs are requested, for these reasons: (1) The kernel will silently ignore non-allowed CPUs, that is, CPUs which are physically present but disallowed for the thread based on system configuration. (2) Similarly, CPU bits which lack an online CPU (possible CPUs) are ignored. (3) The existing probing code assumes that the CPU mask size is a power of two and at least 1024. Neither has it to be a power of two, nor is the minimum possible value 1024, so the value determined is often too large. This means that the CPU set size check in glibc accepts CPU bits beyond the actual hard system limit. (4) Future kernel versions may not even have a fixed CPU set size. After the removal of the probing code, the kernel still returns EINVAL if no CPU in the requested set remains which can run the thread after the affinity change. Applications which care about the exact affinity mask will have to query it using sched_getaffinity after setting it. Due to the effects described above, this commit does not change this. The new tests supersede tst-getcpu, which is removed. This addresses bug 19164 because the new tests allocate CPU sets dynamically. * nptl/check-cpuset.h: Remove. * nptl/pthread_attr_setaffinity.c (__pthread_attr_setaffinity_new): Remove CPU set size check. * nptl/pthread_setattr_default_np.c (pthread_setattr_default_np): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check-cpuset.h: Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pthread_setaffinity.c (__kernel_cpumask_size, __determine_cpumask_size): Remove. (__pthread_setaffinity_new): Remove CPU set size check. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sched_setaffinity.c (__kernel_cpumask_size): Remove. (__sched_setaffinity_new): Remove CPU set size check. * manual/threads.texi (Default Thread Attributes): Remove stale reference to check_cpuset_attr, determine_cpumask_size in comment. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile [$(subdir) == posix] (tests): Remove tst-getcpu. Add tst-affinity, tst-affinity-pid. [$(subdir) == nptl] (tests): Add tst-thread-affinity-pthread, tst-thread-affinity-pthread2, tst-thread-affinity-sched. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-affinity.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-affinity-pid.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-skeleton-affinity.c: New skeleton test file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-thread-affinity-sched.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-thread-affinity-pthread.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-thread-affinity-pthread2.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-thread-skeleton-affinity.c: New skeleton test file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-getcpu.c: Remove. Superseded by tst-affinity-pid.
* Add header and standard information to threads.texi.Carlos O'Donell2014-02-281-0/+12
| | | | | | | The glibc manual uses special annotations to include functions in the summary chapter. These annotations were missing from the functions in the threads chapter. This patch adds those special markers and in turn adds these functions to the summary chapter.
* * manual/threads.texi (pthread_key_create, pthread_key_delete,Alexandre Oliva2014-02-031-8/+28
| | | | | | | pthread_getspecific, pthread_setspecific): Format with @deftypefun, and add @safety note. * manual/signal.texi: Move comments that analyze the above functions to their home place.

The manual and its file names are about interfaces and not the implementation details.
