* aarch64: Use memcpy_simd as the default memcpyWilco Dijkstra2022-10-265-259/+0
| | | | | | Since __memcpy_simd is the fastest memcpy on almost all cores, replace the generic memcpy with it. If SVE is available, a SVE memcpy will be used by default (including for Neoverse N2).
* aarch64: Cleanup memset ifuncWilco Dijkstra2022-10-262-17/+26
| | | | | Cleanup memset ifunc selectors. The A64FX memset relies on a ZVA size of 256, so add an explicit check.
* elf: Remove -fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns usage on dl-supportAdhemerval Zanella2022-10-101-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Besides the option being gcc specific, this approach is still fragile and not future proof since we do not know if this will be the only optimization option gcc will add that transforms loops to memset (or any libcall). This patch adds a new header, dl-symbol-redir-ifunc.h, that can b used to redirect the compiler generated libcalls to port the generic memset implementation if required.

To avoid unnecessary large diffs, pass the maximum in the argument 'i' to IFUNC_IMPL_ADD - 'max' can be used in new ifunc definitions and existing ones can be updated if desired.

* AArch64: Improve A64FX memcpyWilco Dijkstra2021-12-021-321/+225
| | | | | | | | | | | | | v2 is a complete rewrite of the A64FX memcpy. Performance is improved by streamlining the code, aligning all large copies and using a single unrolled loop for all sizes. The code size for memcpy and memmove goes down from 1796 bytes to 868 bytes. Performance is better in all cases: bench-memcpy-random is 2.3% faster overall, bench-memcpy-large is ~33% faster for large sizes, bench-memcpy-walk is 25% faster for small sizes and 20% for the largest sizes. The geomean of all tests in bench-memcpy is 5.1% faster, and total time is reduced by 4%. Reviewed-by: Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch optimizes the performance of memset for A64FX [1] which implements ARMv8-A SVE and has L1 64KB cache per core and L2 8MB cache per NUMA node.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some IFUNC variants are not compatible with BTI and MTE so don't set them as usable for testing and benchmarking on a BTI or MTE enabled system. As far as IFUNC selectors are concerned a system is BTI enabled if the cpu supports it and glibc was built with BTI branch protection. Most IFUNC variants are BTI compatible, but thunderx2 memcpy and memmove use a jump table with indirect jump, without a BTI j. Fixes bug 26818.

* aarch64: use PTR_ARG and SIZE_ARG instead of DELOUSESzabolcs Nagy2020-12-318-31/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DELOUSE was added to asm code to make them compatible with non-LP64 ABIs, but it is an unfortunate name and the code was not compatible with ABIs where pointer and size_t are different. Glibc currently only supports the LP64 ABI so these macros are not really needed or tested, but for now the name is changed to be more meaningful instead of removing them completely. Some DELOUSE macros were dropped: clone, strlen and strnlen used it unnecessarily. The out of tree ILP32 patches are currently not maintained and will likely need a rework to rebase them on top of the time64 changes.

* AArch64: Improve strlen_asimd performance (bug 25824)Wilco Dijkstra2020-07-175-126/+161
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Optimize strlen using a mix of scalar and SIMD code. On modern micro architectures large strings are 2.6 times faster than existing strlen_asimd and 35% faster than the new MTE version of strlen. On a random strlen benchmark using small sizes the speedup is 7% vs strlen_asimd and 40% vs the MTE strlen. This fixes the main strlen regressions on Cortex-A53 and other cores with a simple Neon unit. Rename __strlen_generic to __strlen_mte, and select strlen_asimd when MTE is not enabled (this is waiting on support for a HWCAP_MTE bit). This fixes big-endian bug 25824.

Large copies align the source rather than the destination. bench-memcpy-random is ~9% faster than memcpy_falkor on Neoverse N1, so make this memcpy the default on N1 (on Centriq it is 15% faster than memcpy_falkor).

* aarch64: Add BTI support to assembly filesSudakshina Das2020-07-084-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To enable building glibc with branch protection, assembly code needs BTI landing pads and ELF object file markings in the form of a GNU property note. The landing pads are unconditionally added to all functions that may be indirectly called. When the code segment is not mapped with PROT_BTI these instructions are nops. They are kept in the code when BTI is not supported so that the layout of performance critical code is unchanged across configurations. The GNU property notes are only added when there is support for BTI in the toolchain, because old binutils does not handle the notes right. (Does not know how to merge them nor to put them in PT_GNU_PROPERTY segment instead of PT_NOTE, and some versions of binutils emit warnings about the unknown GNU property. In such cases the produced libc binaries would not have valid ELF marking so BTI would not be enabled.) Note: functions using ENTRY or ENTRY_ALIGN now start with an additional BTI c, so alignment of the following code changes, but ENTRY_ALIGN_AND_PAD was fixed so there is no change to the existing code layout. Some string functions may need to be tuned for optimal performance after this commit.

* AArch64: Merge Falkor memcpy and memmove implementationsKrzysztof Koch2020-06-083-245/+144
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Falkor's memcpy and memmove share some implementation details, therefore, the two routines are moved to a single source file for code reuse. The two routines now share code for small and medium copies (up to and including 128 bytes). Large copies in memcpy do not handle overlap correctly, consequently, the loops for moving/copying more than 128 bytes stay separate for memcpy and memmove. To increase code reuse a number of small modifications were made: 1. The old implementation of memcpy copied the first 16-bytes as soon as the size of data was determined to be greater than 32 bytes. For memcpy code to also work when copying small/medium overlapping data, the first load and store was moved to the large copy case. 2. Medium memcpy case no longer assumes that 16 bytes were already copied and uses 8 registers to copy up to 128 bytes. 3. Small case for memmove was enlarged to that of memcpy, which is less than or equal to 32 bytes. 4. Medium case for memmove was enlarged to that of memcpy, which is less than or equal to 128 bytes. Other changes include: 1. Improve alignment of existing loop bodies. 2. 'Delouse' memmove and memcpy input arguments. Make sure that upper 32-bits of input registers are zeroed if unused. 3. Do one more iteration in memmove loops and reduce the number of copies made from the start/end of the buffer, depending on the direction of the memmove loop. Benchmarking: Looking at the results from bench-memcpy-random.out, we can see that now memmove_falkor is about 5% faster than memcpy_falkor_old, while memmove_falkor_old was more than 15% slower. The memcpy implementation remained largely unmodified, so there is no significant performance change. The reason for such a significant memmove performance gain is the increase of the upper bound on the small copy case to 32 bytes and the increase of the upper bound on the medium copy case to 128 bytes.

* aarch64: Optimized memset specific to AmpereComputing emagFeng Xue2019-02-015-2/+217
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This version uses general register based memory store instead of vector register based, for the former is faster than the latter in emag. The fact that DC ZVA size in emag is 64-byte, is used by IFUNC dispatch to select this memset, so that cost of runtime-check on DC ZVA size can be saved. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add memset_emag. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c (__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add __memset_emag to memset ifunc. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memset.c (libc_ifunc): Add IS_EMAG check for ifunc dispatch. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memset_base64.S: New file. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memset_emag.S: New file.
* [AArch64] Add ifunc support for AresWilco Dijkstra2019-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add Ares to the midr_el0 list and support ifunc dispatch. Since Ares supports 2 128-bit loads/stores, use Neon registers for memcpy by selecting __memcpy_falkor by default (we should rename this to __memcpy_simd or similar). * manual/tunables.texi (glibc.cpu.name): Add ares tunable. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memcpy.c (__libc_memcpy): Use __memcpy_falkor for ares. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.h (IS_ARES): Add new define. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c (cpu_list): Add ares cpu.

* aarch64: optimized memcpy implementation for thunderx2Anton Youdkevitch2018-10-162-18/+603
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since aligned loads and stores are huge performance advantage the implementation always tries to do aligned access. Among the cases when src and dst addresses are aligned or unaligned evenly there are cases of not evenly unaligned src and dst. For such cases (if the length is big enough) ext instruction is used to merge-and-shift two memory chunks loaded from two adjacent aligned locations and then the adjusted chunk gets stored to aligned address. Performance gain against the current T2 implementation: memcpy-large: 65K-32M: +40% - +10% memcpy-walk: 128-32M: +20% - +2%
* [aarch64] Add an ASIMD variant of strlen for falkorSiddhesh Poyarekar2018-08-155-1/+254
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This variant of strlen uses vector loads and operations to reduce the size of the code and also eliminate the non-ascii fallback. This works very well for falkor because of its two vector units and efficient vector ops. In the best case it reduces latency of cases in bench-strlen by 48%, with gains throughout the benchmark. strlen-walk also sees uniform gains in the 5%-15% range. Overall the routine appears to work better than the stock one for falkor regardless of the benchmark, length of string or cache state. The same cannot be said of a53 and a72 though. a53 performance was greatly reduced and for a72 it was a bit of a mixed bag, slightly on the negative side but I reckon it might be fast in some situations. * sysdeps/aarch64/strlen.S (__strlen): Rename to STRLEN. [!STRLEN](STRLEN): Set to __strlen. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/strlen.c: New file. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/strlen_generic.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/strlen_asimd.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c (__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add strlen. * sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add strlen_generic and strlen_asimd.
