* x86: Use SIZE_MAX instead of (long int)-1 for tunable range valueSiddhesh Poyarekar2021-02-101-5/+5
| | | | | The tunable types are SIZE_T, so set the ranges to the correct maximum value, i.e. SIZE_MAX.
* tunables: Simplify TUNABLE_SET interfaceSiddhesh Poyarekar2021-02-101-9/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TUNABLE_SET interface took a primitive C type argument, which resulted in inconsistent type conversions internally due to incorrect dereferencing of types, especialy on 32-bit architectures. This change simplifies the TUNABLE setting logic along with the interfaces. Now all numeric tunable values are stored as signed numbers in tunable_num_t, which is intmax_t. All calls to set tunables cast the input value to its primitive type and then to tunable_num_t for storage. This relies on gcc-specific (although I suspect other compilers woul also do the same) unsigned to signed integer conversion semantics, i.e. the bit pattern is conserved. The reverse conversion is guaranteed by the standard.
* x86: Adding an upper bound for Enhanced REP MOVSB.Sajan Karumanchi2021-02-021-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the process of optimizing memcpy for AMD machines, we have found the vector move operations are outperforming enhanced REP MOVSB for data transfers above the L2 cache size on Zen3 architectures. To handle this use case, we are adding an upper bound parameter on enhanced REP MOVSB:'__x86_rep_movsb_stop_threshold'. As per large-bench results, we are configuring this parameter to the L2 cache size for AMD machines and applicable from Zen3 architecture supporting the ERMS feature. For architectures other than AMD, it is the computed value of non-temporal threshold parameter. Reviewed-by: Premachandra Mallappa <premachandra.mallappa@amd.com>
* <sys/platform/x86.h>: Remove the C preprocessor magicH.J. Lu2021-01-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In <sys/platform/x86.h>, define CPU features as enum instead of using the C preprocessor magic to make it easier to wrap this functionality in other languages. Move the C preprocessor magic to internal header for better GCC codegen when more than one features are checked in a single expression as in x86-64 dl-hwcaps-subdirs.c. 1. Rename COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_XXX to CPUID_INDEX_XXX. 2. Move CPUID_INDEX_MAX to sysdeps/x86/include/cpu-features.h. 3. Remove struct cpu_features and __x86_get_cpu_features from <sys/platform/x86.h>. 4. Add __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf to <sys/platform/x86.h> and put it in libc. 5. Make __get_cpu_features() private to glibc. 6. Replace __x86_get_cpu_features(N) with __get_cpu_features(). 7. Add _dl_x86_get_cpu_features to GLIBC_PRIVATE. 8. Use a single enum index for each CPU feature detection. 9. Pass the CPUID feature leaf to __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf. 10. Return zero struct cpuid_feature for the older glibc binary with a smaller CPUID_INDEX_MAX [BZ #27104]. 11. Inside glibc, use the C preprocessor magic so that cpu_features data can be loaded just once leading to more compact code for glibc. 256 bits are used for each CPUID leaf. Some leaves only contain a few features. We can add exceptions to such leaves. But it will increase code sizes and it is harder to provide backward/forward compatibilities when new features are added to such leaves in the future. When new leaves are added, _rtld_global_ro offsets will change which leads to race condition during in-place updates. We may avoid in-place updates by 1. Rename the old glibc. 2. Install the new glibc. 3. Remove the old glibc. NB: A function, __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf , is used to avoid the copy relocation issue with IFUNC resolver as shown in IFUNC resolver tests.
* x86: Move x86 processor cache info to cpu_featuresH.J. Lu2021-01-141-0/+460
| | | | | | | | | | | 1. Move x86 processor cache info to _dl_x86_cpu_features in ld.so. 2. Update tunable bounds with TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS. 3. Move x86 cache info initialization to dl-cacheinfo.h and initialize x86 cache info in init_cpu_features (). 4. Put x86 cache info for libc in cacheinfo.h, which is included in libc-start.c in libc.a and is included in cacheinfo.c in libc.so. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
* Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrightsPaul Eggert2021-01-021-1/+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 6694 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this diagnostic from Savannah: remote: *** pre-commit check failed ... remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
* x86: Initialize CPU info via IFUNC relocation [BZ 26203]H.J. Lu2020-10-161-0/+478
X86 CPU features in ld.so are initialized by init_cpu_features, which is invoked by DL_PLATFORM_INIT from _dl_sysdep_start. But when ld.so is loaded by static executable, DL_PLATFORM_INIT is never called. Also x86 cache info in libc.o and libc.a is initialized by a constructor which may be called too late. Since some fields in _rtld_global_ro in ld.so are initialized by dynamic relocation, we can also initialize x86 CPU features in _rtld_global_ro in ld.so and cache info in libc.so by initializing dummy function pointers in ld.so and libc.so via IFUNC relocation. Key points: 1. IFUNC is always supported, independent of --enable-multi-arch or --disable-multi-arch. Linker generates IFUNC relocations from input IFUNC objects and ld.so performs IFUNC relocations. 2. There are no IFUNC dependencies in ld.so before dynamic relocation have been performed, 3. The x86 CPU features in ld.so is initialized by DL_PLATFORM_INIT in dynamic executable and by IFUNC relocation in dlopen in static executable. 4. The x86 cache info in libc.o is initialized by IFUNC relocation. 5. In libc.a, both x86 CPU features and cache info are initialized from ARCH_INIT_CPU_FEATURES, not by IFUNC relocation, before __libc_early_init is called. Note: _dl_x86_init_cpu_features can be called more than once from DL_PLATFORM_INIT and during relocation in ld.so.
