* nptl: Add backoff mechanism to spinlock loopWangyang Guo2022-05-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When mutiple threads waiting for lock at the same time, once lock owner releases the lock, waiters will see lock available and all try to lock, which may cause an expensive CAS storm. Binary exponential backoff with random jitter is introduced. As try-lock attempt increases, there is more likely that a larger number threads compete for adaptive mutex lock, so increase wait time in exponential. A random jitter is also added to avoid synchronous try-lock from other threads. v2: Remove read-check before try-lock for performance. v3: 1. Restore read-check since it works well in some platform. 2. Make backoff arch dependent, and enable it for x86_64. 3. Limit max backoff to reduce latency in large critical section. v4: Fix strict-prototypes error in sysdeps/nptl/pthread_mutex_backoff.h v5: Commit log updated for regression in large critical section.

But adaptive mutex is aimed for "quick" locks. Small critical section is more common when users choose to use adaptive pthread_mutex.

* nptl: Handle spurious EINTR when thread cancellation is disabled (BZ#29029)Adhemerval Zanella2022-04-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some Linux interfaces never restart after being interrupted by a signal handler, regardless of the use of SA_RESTART [1]. It means that for pthread cancellation, if the target thread disables cancellation with pthread_setcancelstate and calls such interfaces (like poll or select), it should not see spurious EINTR failures due the internal SIGCANCEL. However recent changes made pthread_cancel to always sent the internal signal, regardless of the target thread cancellation status or type. To fix it, the previous semantic is restored, where the cancel signal is only sent if the target thread has cancelation enabled in asynchronous mode. The cancel state and cancel type is moved back to cancelhandling and atomic operation are used to synchronize between threads. The patch essentially revert the following commits: 8c1c0aae20 nptl: Move cancel type out of cancelhandling 2b51742531 nptl: Move cancel state out of cancelhandling 26cfbb7162 nptl: Remove CANCELING_BITMASK However I changed the atomic operation to follow the internal C11 semantic and removed the MACRO usage, it simplifies a bit the resulting code (and removes another usage of the old atomic macros). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, and powerpc64-linux-gnu.

* Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrightsPaul Eggert2022-01-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I used these shell commands: ../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright (cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]") and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning: copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h, support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not. remote: *** 912-#endif remote: *** 913: remote: *** 914- remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found ... remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines
* Remove "Contributed by" linesSiddhesh Poyarekar2021-09-031-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012 in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect reality in those cases. Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by, etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a courtesy to the earlier developers. The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be of any use in future given that this is a one time task: https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/b5ecac94eabfd72ed2916d6d8157e7dc https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/15ea1f5e435ace9774f485030695ee02 Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>

* nptl: Move pthreadP.h into sysdeps directoryFlorian Weimer2021-06-221-0/+739
This mirrors the situation on Hurd. These directories are on the include search part, so #include <pthreadP.h> works after this change on both Hurd and nptl. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
