* Remove cached PID/TID in cloneAdhemerval Zanella2016-11-241-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

* HPPA: Transition to new non-addon NPTL.Carlos O'Donell2014-09-073-1/+262
| | | | | | | | | Merge roland/nptl-hppa to master, update and test for hppa-linux-gnu. This commit squashes and commits the work done by Roland McGrath on roland/nptl-hppa to migrate hppa to the new non-addon NPTL. Some additional tweaks were required for tcb-offsets.sym to work correctly along with clone.S (unique to hppa).
* Move architecture shlib-versions files to Linux-specific directories.Joseph Myers2014-07-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various architectures have files such as sysdeps/<arch>/shlib-versions whose contents are in fact entirely Linux-specific, relating only to the symbol / shared library versions for the port to Linux on that architecture, when any future port to a different OS on that architecture would use the symbol version of the glibc release it goes in, as standard for new ports. This patch moves such files under sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/, merging in the contents of sysdeps/<arch>/nptl/shlib-versions in the process. The only bits not moved are those relating to libgcc_s versions, which don't appear OS-specific in the same way that glibc's symbol versions so. It deliberately does not change the regular expressions given for matching configurations in each file; some match only Linux although not Linux-specific, or match other OSes although Linux-specific. It is with a view to at least the following further cleanups: * Move architecture-specific content from the toplevel shlib-versions and nptl/shlib-versions into sysdeps shlib-versions files, so eliminating another difference between ex-ports and non-ex-ports architectures. * Likewise, for OS-specific content in shlib-versions files. * At that point, the first field in shlib-versions files (the regular expression matching a configuration triplet) should be redundant, so eliminate that field and leave shlib-versions selection working purely on a sysdeps basis (with limited use of %ifdef in shlib-versions files when needed) rather than having its own separate mechanism to select what configuration information is relevant. * Move the build of gnu/lib-names.h to a similar mechanism to that used for gnu/stubs.h (each library build installing a version of the header specifically for that build), so we can eliminate the duplication of soname information in the makefiles and get it purely from shlib-versions files again. There may be other cleanups possible as well (in particular, I'm not sure that all cases where the same "Earliest symbol set" information is repeated for many different libraries actually should need to repeat it rather than specifying it just once for DEFAULT for the given configuration, and separately specifying any non-default choices of soname).
