* powerpc: Fix memchr for powerpc32.Carlos Eduardo Seo2015-08-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | Fix a wrong #undef in memchr.c. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/multiarch/memchr.c: Replace '#undef memcpy' by '#undef memchr'.
* powerpc: make memchr use memchr-power7.Carlos Eduardo Seo2015-08-211-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | In powerpc64, memchr was always pointing to the internal __GI_memchr implementation. This patch fixes that and makes it use the optimized POWER7 version when adequate. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/memchr-ppc64.c: Make memchr not point to the internal __GI_memchr implementation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patches uses the default strcpy/stpcpy implementation for POWER7/PPC64.

* Use libc_hidden_proto / libc_hidden_def with __strnlen.Joseph Myers2015-06-023-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various code in glibc uses __strnlen instead of strnlen for namespace reasons. However, __strnlen does not use libc_hidden_proto / libc_hidden_def (as is normally done for any function defined and called within the same library, whether or not exported from the library and whatever namespace it is in), so the compiler does not know that those calls are to a function within libc. This patch uses libc_hidden_proto / libc_hidden_def with __strnlen. On x86_64, it makes no difference to the installed stripped shared libraries. On 32-bit x86, it causes __strnlen calls to go to the same place as strnlen calls (the fallback strnlen implementation), rather than through a PLT entry for the strnlen IFUNC; I'm not sure of the logic behind when calls from within libc should use IFUNCs versus when they should go direct to a particular function implementation, but clearly it doesn't make sense for strnlen and __strnlen to be handled differently in this regard. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and comparison of installed shared libraries as described above). * string/strnlen.c [!STRNLEN] (__strnlen): Use libc_hidden_def. * include/string.h (__strnlen): Use libc_hidden_proto. * sysdeps/aarch64/strnlen.S (__strnlen): Use libc_hidden_def. * sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/strnlen-c.c [SHARED] (libc_hidden_def): Define __GI___strnlen as well as __GI_strnlen. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/multiarch/strnlen-power7.S (libc_hidden_def): Undefine and redefine. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/multiarch/strnlen-ppc32.c [SHARED] (libc_hidden_def): Define __GI___strnlen as well as __GI_strnlen. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/strnlen.S (__strnlen): Use libc_hidden_def. * sysdeps/tile/tilegx/strnlen.c (__strnlen): Likewise.

* libc-vdso.h place consolidationAdhemerval Zanella2015-04-202-2/+2
| | | | | | This patch moves the libc-vdso.h internal header from bits folder to default architecture one and also corrects the remaning includes in the files.
* powerpc: Fix __wcschr static buildAdhemerval Zanella2015-04-151-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch fix the static build for strftime, which uses __wcschr. Current powerpc32 implementation defines the __wcschr be an alias to __wcschr_ppc32 and current implementation misses the correct alias for static build. It also changes the default wcschr.c logic so a IFUNC implementation should just define WCSCHR and undefine the required alias/internal definitions.
* Harden powerpc64 elf_machine_fixup_pltAlan Modra2015-03-261-5/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IFUNC is difficult to correctly implement on any target needing a GOT to support position independent code, due to the dependency on order of dynamic relocations. ld.so should be changed to apply IFUNC relocations last, globally, because without that it is actually impossible to write an IFUNC resolver in C that works in all situations. Case in point, vfork in libpthread.so is an IFUNC with the resolver returning &__libc_vfork. (system and fork are similar.) If another shared library, libA say, uses vfork then it is quite possible that libpthread.so hasn't been dynamically relocated before the unfortunate libA is dynamically relocated. In that case the GOT entry for &__libc_vfork is still zero, so the IFUNC resolver returns NULL. LD_BIND_NOW=1 results in libA PLT dynamic relocations being applied using this NULL value and ld.so segfaults. This patch hardens ld.so to not segfault on a NULL from an IFUNC resolver. It also fixes a problem with undefined weak. If you leave the plt entry as-is for undefined weak then if the entry is ever called it will loop in ld.so rather than segfaulting. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_fixup_plt): Don't segfault if ifunc resolver returns a NULL. Do set plt to zero for undefined weak. (elf_machine_plt_conflict): Similarly.
* powerpc __tls_get_addr call optimizationAlan Modra2015-03-256-0/+181
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is glibc support for a PowerPC TLS optimization, inspired by Alexandre Oliva's TLS optimization for other processors, http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/writeups/TLS/RFC-TLSDESC-x86.txt In essence, this optimization uses a zero module id in the tls_index GOT entry to indicate that a TLS variable is allocated space in the static TLS area. A special plt call linker stub for __tls_get_addr checks for such a tls_index and if found, returns the offset immediately. The linker communicates the fact that the special __tls_get_addr stub is used by setting a bit in the dynamic tag DT_PPC64_OPT/DT_PPC_OPT. glibc communicates to the linker that this optimization is available by the presence of __tls_get_addr_opt. tst-tlsmod2.so is built with -Wl,--no-tls-get-addr-optimize for tst-tls-dlinfo, which otherwise would fail since it tests that no static tls is allocated. The ld option --no-tls-get-addr-optimize has been available since binutils-2.20 so doesn't need a configure test. * NEWS: Advertise TLS optimization. * elf/elf.h (R_PPC_TLSGD, R_PPC_TLSLD, DT_PPC_OPT, PPC_OPT_TLS): Define.

* powerpc64 configure messageAlan Modra2015-03-252-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | This feature doesn't depend on the linker, as can be seen from the actual test. It's a compiler feature. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/configure.ac: Correct "linker support for overlapping .opd entries" to "support...". * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/configure: Regenerate
* Remove HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 referencesAlan Modra2015-03-231-41/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In bc0cdc498 the configure check for HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 was removed on the grounds that the minimum binutils supports rel16 relocs. This is true, but not all references to HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 in the sources were removed. * config.h.in: Remove HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/tls-macros.h: Remove HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 and false branch of conditional. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/swapcontext-common.S: Likewise.
* soft-fp: Define and use _FP_STATIC_ASSERT.Joseph Myers2015-03-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes soft-fp use static assertions in place of conditional calls to abort, in places where there are checks for conditions (on the types for which a macro is used) that the code is not prepared to handle. The fallback definition of _FP_STATIC_ASSERT (for kernel use only, as only relevant to compilers not supported for building glibc) is as in misc/sys/cdefs.h. This means that soft-fp only ever calls abort for _FP_UNREACHABLE calls in builds with GCC versions before 4.5. Thus, there is no need for an abort declaration or <stdlib.h> include, since the kernel code handles defining abort as a macro itself - and so this avoids any need for an __KERNEL__ condition on the abort declaration to avoid it breaking with the kernel's macro definition. That is, this patch is intended to make glibc's soft-fp code suitable for kernel use with no kernel-local changes to the soft-fp code needed at all. Tested for powerpc-nofpu that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch. One explicit <stdlib.h> include had to be added to a file that was relying on the include from soft-fp.h. * soft-fp/soft-fp.h (_FP_STATIC_ASSERT): New macro. [_LIBC]: Do not include <stdlib.h>. [!_LIBC] (abort): Remove declaration. * soft-fp/op-2.h (_FP_MUL_MEAT_2_120_240_double): Use _FP_STATIC_ASSERT instead of conditionally calling abort. * soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_FROM_INT): Likewise. (_FP_EXTEND_CNAN): Likewise. (FP_TRUNC): Likewise. (__FP_CLZ): Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/flt-rounds.c: Include <stdlib.h>.
* powerpc: Remove HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME defineAdhemerval Zanella2015-03-114-85/+11
| | | | | | | | | With AIX port deprecated there is no need to check/define HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME anymore since the current minimum binutils supported (2.22) does not emit global symbol with dot. This patch removes all the HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME definition and checks for powerpc64 port.

* powerpc: Fix inline feraiseexcept, feclearexcept macrosAdhemerval Zanella2015-03-031-20/+32
| | | | | | | This patch fixes the inline feraiseexcept and feclearexcept macros for powerpc by casting the input argument to integer before operation on it. It fixes BZ#17776.
* powerpc: Fix memmove static buildAdhemerval Zanella2015-02-251-1/+3
| | | | | | | This patch fixes the missing "__memcpy_ppc" symbol for memmove-ppc64 object in static builds. Since memcpy ifunc is not enabled in static mode, the specialized symbols are not provided. The patch changed the it to just "__memcpy" instead.
* Fix powerpc software sqrtf (bug 17967).Joseph Myers2015-02-131-11/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similarly to sqrt in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00353.html>, the powerpc sqrtf implementation for when _ARCH_PPCSQ is not defined also relies on a * b + c being contracted into a fused multiply-add. Although this contraction is not explicitly disabled for e_sqrtf.c, it still seems appropriate to make the file explicit about its requirements by using __builtin_fmaf; this patch does so. Furthermore, it turns out that doing so fixes the observed inaccuracy and missing exceptions (that is, that without explicit __builtin_fmaf usage, it was not being compiled as intended). Tested for powerpc32 (hard float). [BZ #17967] * sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/e_sqrtf.c (__slow_ieee754_sqrtf): Use __builtin_fmaf instead of relying on contraction of a * b + c.
* Fix powerpc software sqrt (bug 17964).Joseph Myers2015-02-121-15/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Adhemerval noted in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-01/msg00451.html>, the powerpc sqrt implementation for when _ARCH_PPCSQ is not defined is inaccurate in some cases. The problem is that this code relies on fused multiply-add, and relies on the compiler contracting a * b + c to get a fused operation. But sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/Makefile disables contraction for e_sqrt.c, because the implementation in that directory relies on *not* having contracted operations. While it would be possible to arrange makefiles so that an earlier sysdeps directory can disable the setting in sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/Makefile, it seems a lot cleaner to make the dependence on fused operations explicit in the .c file. GCC 4.6 introduced support for __builtin_fma on powerpc and other architectures with such instructions, so we can rely on that; this patch duly makes the code use __builtin_fma for all such fused operations. Tested for powerpc32 (hard float). 2015-02-12 Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com> [BZ #17964] * sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/e_sqrt.c (__slow_ieee754_sqrt): Use __builtin_fma instead of relying on contraction of a * b + c.
* powerpc: POWER7 strncpy optimization for unaligned stringRajalakshmi Srinivasaraghavan2015-02-121-2/+378
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch optimizes strncpy for power7 for unaligned source or destination address. The source or destination address is aligned to doubleword and data is shifted based on the alignment and added with the previous loaded data to be written as a doubleword. For each load, cmpb instruction is used for faster null check. The new optimization shows 10 to 70% of performance improvement for longer string though it does not show big difference on string size less than 16 due to additional checks.Hence this new algorithm is restricted to string greater than 16.
* powerpc: drop R_PPC_REL16 checkAdhemerval Zanella2015-02-102-44/+0
| | | | | Current minimum support binutils (2.22) supports R_PPC_REL16 as default, so no need to extra configure checks.
* powerpc: sysdeps/powerpc configure cleanupAdhemerval Zanella2015-02-102-54/+0
| | | | | | Current minimum binutils supported (2.22) has ".machine altivec" support as default, so there is no need to add a configure check for such functionality. This patches removes the configure checks for it.
* powerpc: wordcopy/memmove cleanup for ppc32Adhemerval Zanella2015-02-097-119/+32
| | | | | | | | This patch cleanup some multiarch code related to memmmove optimization. Initial IFUNC support added specialized wordcopy symbols which turned in local IFUNC calls used by memmove default implementation. The patch removes the internal IFUNC for wordcopy symbols and uses local branches in the memmmove optimization instead.

| | | | | | | | | | This patch cleanup some multiarch code related to memmmove optimization. Initial IFUNC support added specialized wordcopy symbols which turned in local IFUNC calls used by memmove default implementation. This change by removing then and used the optimized memmove instead for supported chips.
* powerpc: Remove POWER7 wordcopy ifuncAdhemerval Zanella2015-02-093-45/+9

* powerpc: Simplify bcopy default implementationAdhemerval Zanella2015-02-091-4/+6
| | | | | | This patch simplify the default bcopy symbol for powerpc64 by just using memmove instead of implementing using the default bcopy. Since the symbol is deprecated, it trades speed by code size.

| | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug introduced by 18f2945ae9216cfc, where it optimizes the FPSCR set by just issuing a mtfs instruction if new flag is different from older one. The issue is a typo, where the new flag should the the new value, instead of the old one. It fixes BZ#17885.
* powerpc: Fix fsqrt build in libm [BZ#16576]Adhemerval Zanella2015-01-285-102/+24
| | | | | | | | | | Some powerpc64 processors (e5500 core for instance) does not provide the fsqrt instruction, however current check to use in math_private.h is __WORDSIZE and _ARCH_PWR4 (ISA 2.02). This is patch change it to use the compiler flag _ARCH_PPCSQ (which is the same condition GCC uses to decide whether to generate fsqrt instruction). It fixes BZ#16576.
* powerpc: Fix powerpc64 build failure with binutils 2.22Adhemerval Zanella2015-01-241-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | GLIBC memset optimization for POWER8 uses the '.machine power8' directive, which is only supported officially on binutils 2.24+. This causes a build failure on older binutils. Since the requirement of .machine power8 is to correctly assembly the 'mtvsrd' instruction and it is already handled by the MTVSRD_V1_R4 macro, there is no really needed of using it. The patch replaces the power8 with power7 for .machine directive. It fixes BZ#17869.

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch fix the elf/ifuncmain6pie failure when building with GCC 4.9+. For some reason, the compiler removes the branch taken code at resolve_ifunc (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h) as dead-code and thus the testcase fails because the ifunc resolves branches to an invalid memory location. It fixes by explicit adding a dependency of value based on odp variable to avoid compiler optimization. It fixes BZ#17868.
* Fix powerpc-nofpu fesetenv namespace (bug 17748).Joseph Myers2015-01-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When fixing namespace issues for <fenv.h> functions I missed one call to fesetenv for powerpc-nofpu. This patch changes this to a call to __fesetenv. Tested for powerpc-nofpu; it fixes the previously observed math.h linknamespace test failures. [BZ #17748] * sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/feholdexcpt.c (__feholdexcept): Call __fesetenv instead of fesetenv.
* powerpc: Fix POWER7/PPC64 performance regression on LEAdhemerval Zanella2015-01-131-588/+282
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a performance regression on the POWER7/PPC64 memcmp porting for Little Endian. The LE code uses 'ldbrx' instruction to read the memory on byte reversed form, however ISA 2.06 just provide the indexed form which uses a register value as additional index, instead of a fixed value enconded in the instruction. And the port strategy for LE uses r0 index value and update the address value on each compare loop interation. For large compare size values, it adds 8 more instructions plus some more depending of trailing size. This patch fixes it by adding pre-calculate indexes to remove the address update on loops and tailing sizes. For large sizes it shows a considerable gain, with double performance pairing with BE.
* powerpc: Optimized strncmp for POWER8/PPC64Adhemerval Zanella2015-01-135-5/+374
| | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strncmp. The implementation focus on speeding up unaligned cases follwing the ideas of power8 strcmp. The algorithm first check the initial 16 bytes, then align the first function source and uses unaligned loads on second argument only. Aditional checks for page boundaries are done for unaligned cases (where sources alignment are different).
* powerpc: Optimize POWER7 strcmp trailing checksRajalakshmi Srinivasaraghavan2015-01-131-114/+83
| | | | | | This patch optimized the POWER7 trailing check by avoiding using byte read operations and instead use the doubleword already readed with bitwise operations.
* powerpc: Optimized strcmp for POWER8/PPC64Adhemerval Zanella2015-01-135-3/+306
| | | | | | | This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strcmp using unaligned accesses. The algorithm first check the initial 16 bytes, then align the first function source and uses unaligned loads on second argument only. Aditional checks for page boundaries are done for unaligned cases
* powerpc: Optimized st{r,p}ncpy for POWER8/PPC64Adhemerval Zanella2015-01-138-6/+542
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an optimized POWER8 st{r,p}ncpy using unaligned accesses. It shows 10%-80% improvement over the optimized POWER7 one that uses only aligned accesses, specially on unaligned inputs. The algorithm first read and check 16 bytes (if inputs do not cross a 4K page size). The it realign source to 16-bytes and issue a 16 bytes read and compare loop to speedup null byte checks for large strings. Also, different from POWER7 optimization, the null pad is done inline in the implementation using possible unaligned accesses, instead of realying on a memset call. Special case is added for page cross reads.
* powerpc: Optimized strncat for POWER7/PPC64Adhemerval Zanella2015-01-133-270/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | With 3eb38795dbbbd816 (Simplify strncat) the generic algorithms uses strlen, strnlen, and memcpy. This is faster than POWER7 current implementation, especially for unaligned strings (where POWER7 code uses byte-byte operations). This patch removes the assembly implementation and uses a multiarch specialization based on default algorithm calling optimized POWER7 symbols.
* powerpc: Optimized strcat for POWER8/PPC64Adhemerval Zanella2015-01-134-4/+40
| | | | | With new optimized strcpy for POWER8, this patch adds an optimized strcat which uses it along with default implementation at strings/.
