Some early x86_64 cpus (released before 2006) did not support sahf/lahf
instructions so they should be avoided (intel manual says they are only
supported if CPUID.80000001H:ECX.LAHF-SAHF[bit 0] = 1).
The workaround simplifies exp2l and expm1l because fucomip can be
used instead of the fucomp;fnstsw;sahf sequence copied from i386.
In fmodl and remainderl sahf is replaced by a simple bit test.

this was introduced in commit 2da3ab1382ca8e39eb1e4428103764a81fba73d3
as an oversight while making the variadic argument access conditional.

the idiomatic rounding of x is
n = x + toint - toint;
where toint is either 1/EPSILON (x is non-negative) or 1.5/EPSILON
(x may be negative and nearest rounding mode is assumed) and EPSILON is
according to the evaluation precision (the type of toint is not very
important, because single precision float can represent the 1/EPSILON of
ieee binary128).
in case of FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 this avoids a useless store to double or
float precision, and the long double code became cleaner with
1/LDBL_EPSILON instead of ifdefs for toint.
__rem_pio2f and __rem_pio2 functions slightly changed semantics:
on i386 a double-rounding is avoided so close to half-way cases may
get evaluated differently eg. as sin(pi/4-eps) instead of cos(pi/4+eps)

The old code used the rounding idiom incorrectly:
y = (double)(x + 0x1p52) - 0x1p52;
the cast is useless if FLT_EVAL_METHOD==0 and causes a second rounding
if FLT_EVAL_METHOD==2 which can give incorrect result in nearest rounding
mode, so the correct idiom is to add/sub a power-of-2 according to the
characteristics of double_t.
This did not cause actual bug because only i386 is affected where rint
is implemented in asm.
Other rounding functions use a similar idiom, but they give correct
results because they only rely on getting a neighboring integer result
and the rounding direction is fixed up separately independently of the
current rounding mode. However they should be fixed to use the idiom
correctly too.

the mode argument is only required to be present when the O_CREAT or
O_TMPFILE flag is used.

this change is a workaround for the inability of current compilers to
perform "shrink wrapping" optimizations. in casual testing, it roughly
doubled the performance of pthread_once when called on an
already-finished once control object.

these functions need to be fast when the init routine has already run,
since they may be called very often from code which depends on global
initialization having taken place. as such, a fast path bypassing
atomic cas on the once control object was used to avoid heavy memory
contention. however, on archs with weakly ordered memory, the fast
path failed to ensure that the caller actually observes the side
effects of the init routine.
preliminary performance testing showed that simply removing the fast
path was not practical; a performance drop of roughly 85x was observed
with 20 threads hammering the same once control on a 24-core machine.
so the new explicit barrier operation from atomic.h is used to retain
the fast path while ensuring memory visibility.
performance may be reduced on some archs where the barrier actually
makes a difference, but the previous behavior was unsafe and incorrect
on these archs. future improvements to the implementation of a_barrier
should reduce the impact.

previously, the hours were considered as a signed quantity while
minutes and seconds were always treated as positive offsets. however,
semantically the '-' sign should negate the whole hh:mm:ss offset.
this bug only affected timezones east of GMT with non-whole-hours
offsets, such as those used in India and Nepal.

previously the external definitions of these functions were omitted on
archs where long double is the same as double, since the code paths in
the math.h macros which would call them are unreachable. however, even
if they are unreachable, the definitions are still mandatory. omitting
them is invalid C, and in the case of a non-optimizing compiler, will
result in a link error.

per the text accepted for inclusion in POSIX, behavior is unspecified
when any of the access mode bits are set. since it's impossible to
consistently report this usage error (O_RDONLY could not be detected
since its value happens to be zero), the most consistent way to handle
them is just to ignore them.
previously, if a caller erroneously passed O_WRONLY, the resulting
access mode would be O_WRONLY|O_RDWR, which has the value 3, and this
resulted in a file descriptor which rejects both read and write
attempts when it is subsequently used.

this function is specified to leave the last byte with "unspecified
disposition" when the length is odd, so for the most part correct
programs should not be calling swab with odd lengths. however, doing
so is permitted, and should not write past the end of the destination
buffer.

patch by Jens Gustedt. this fixes a bug reported by Nadav Har'El. the
underlying issue was that a left-shift by 16 bits after promotion of
unsigned short to int caused integer overflow. while some compilers
define this overflow case as "shifting into the sign bit", doing so
doesn't help; the sign bit then gets extended through the upper bits
in subsequent arithmetic as unsigned long long. this patch imposes a
promotion to unsigned prior to the shift, so that the result is
well-defined and matches the specified behavior.

commit 5345c9b884e7c4e73eb2c8bb83b8d0df20f95afb added a linked list to
track the FILE streams currently locked (via flockfile) by a thread.
due to a failure to fully link newly added members, removal from the
list could leave behind references which could later result in writes
to already-freed memory and possibly other memory corruption.
implicit stdio locking was unaffected; the list is only used in
conjunction with explicit flockfile locking.
this bug was not present in any releases; it was introduced and fixed
during the same release cycle.
patch by Timo Teräs, who discovered and tracked down the bug.

This was not caught earlier because gcc incorrectly generates quiet
relational operators that never raise exceptions.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
incorrect behavior occurred only in cases where the input overflows
unsigned long long, not just the (possibly lower) range limit for the
result type. in this case, processing of the '-' sign character was
not suppressed, and the function returned a value of 1 despite setting
errno to ERANGE.

The new code is a bit simpler and the generated code is about 1KB
smaller (on i386). The basic design was kept including internal
interfaces, TNFA generation was not touched.
The old tre parser had various issues:
[^aa-z]
negated overlapping ranges in a bracket expression were handled
incorrectly (eg [^aa-z] was handled as [^a] instead of [^a-z])
a{,2}
missing lower bound in a counted repetition should be an error,
but it was accepted with broken semantics: a{,2} was treated as
a{0,3}, the new parser rejects it
a{999,}
large min count was not rejected (a{5000,} failed with REG_ESPACE
due to reaching a stack limit), the new parser enforces the
RE_DUP_MAX limit
\xff
regcomp used to accept a pattern with illegal sequences in it
(treated them as empty expression so p\xffq matched pq) the new
parser rejects such patterns with REG_BADPAT or REG_ERANGE
[^b-fD-H] with REG_ICASE
old parser turned this into [^b-fB-F] because of the negated
overlapping range issue (see above), the new parser treats it
as [^b-hB-H], POSIX seems to require [^d-fD-F], but practical
implementations do case-folding first and negate the character
set later instead of the other way around. (Supporting the posix
way efficiently would require significant changes so it was left
as is, it is unclear if any application actually expects the
posix behaviour, this issue is raised on the austingroup tracker:
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=872 ).
another case-insensitive matching issue is that unicode case
folding rules can group more than two characters together while
towupper and towlower can only work for a pair of upper and
lower case characters, this is a limitation of POSIX so it is
not fixed.
invalid bracket and brace expressions may return different error
codes now (REG_ERANGE instead of REG_EBRACK or REG_BADBR instead
of REG_EBRACE) otherwise the new parser should be compatible with
the old one.
regcomp should be able to handle arbitrary pattern input if the
pattern length is limited, the only exception is the use of large
repetition counts (eg. (a{255}){255}) which require exp amount
of memory and there is no easy workaround.

the previous commit was a no op in exp10l because LDBL_* macros
were implicitly 0 (the preprocessor does not warn about undefined
symbols).
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
__polevll, __p1evll and exp10l were provided on archs when long double
is the same as double. The first two were completely unused and exp10l
can be a wrapper around exp10.

based on patch by Jens Gustedt.
the main difficulty here is handling the difference between start
function signatures and thread return types for C11 threads versus
POSIX threads. pointers to void are assumed to be able to represent
faithfully all values of int. the function pointer for the thread
start function is cast to an incorrect type for passing through
pthread_create, but is cast back to its correct type before calling so
that the behavior of the call is well-defined.
changes to the existing threads implementation were kept minimal to
reduce the risk of regressions, and duplication of code that carries
implementation-specific assumptions was avoided for ease and safety of
future maintenance.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Because of the clear separation for private pthread_cond_t these
interfaces are quite simple and direct.
|
| | |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
These all have POSIX equivalents, but aside from tss_get, they all
have minor changes to the signature or return value and thus need to
exist as separate functions.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The intent of this is to avoid name space pollution of the C threads
implementation.
This has two sides to it. First we have to provide symbols that wouldn't
pollute the name space for the C threads implementation. Second we have
to clean up some internal uses of POSIX functions such that they don't
implicitly drag in such symbols.

this error resulted in an out-of-bounds read, as opposed to a reported
error, when calling the function with an argument one greater than the
max valid index.

if the loop stopped due to reaching the end of the string, the
subsequent increment could possibly move the position one past the end
of the buffer. no further writes happen, the reads cannot fault anyway
unless the stack completely lacks any zero bytes, and reading junk
should not yield an incorrect result from the function either.
nonetheless the code was wrong and needs to be fixed.
|
| |
|
|

the condition was probably intended to be !*p rather than !p, but
neither is needed here. the subsequent code naturally handles the case
where it's already at end of string.

U+00DF ('ß') has had an uppercase form (U+1E9E) available since
Unicode 5.1, but Unicode lacks the case mappings for it due to
stability policy. when I added support for the new character in commit
1a63a9fc30e7a1f1239e3cedcb5041e5ec1c5351, I omitted the mapping in the
lowercase-to-uppercase direction. this choice was not based on any
actual information, only assumptions.
this commit adds bidirectional case mappings between U+00DF and
U+1E9E, and removes the special-case hack that allowed U+00DF to be
identified as lowecase despite lacking a mapping. aside from strong
evidence that this is the "right" behavior for real-world usage of
these characters, several factors informed this decision:
- the other "potentially correct" mapping, to "SS", is not
representable in the C case-mapping system anyway.
- leaving one letter in lowercase form when transforming a string to
uppercase is obviously wrong.
- having a character which is nominally lowercase but which is fixed
under case mapping violates reasonable invariants.

per POSIX these functions are both cancellation points, so they must
act on any cancellation request which is pending prior to the call.
previously, only the code path where actual waiting took place could
act on cancellation.

the outer getnameinfo function already has a properly-sized temporary
buffer for storing the reverse dns (ptr) result. there is no reason
for the callback to use a secondary buffer and copy it on success, and
doing so potentially expanded the impact of the dn_expand bug that was
fixed in commit 49d2c8c6bcf8c926e52c7f510033b6adc31355f5.
this change reduces the code size by a small amount, and also reduces
the run-time stack space requirements by about 256 bytes.

previously, fgets, fputs, fread, and fwrite completely omitted locking
and access to the FILE object when their arguments yielded a zero
length read or write operation independent of the FILE state. this
optimization was invalid; it wrongly skipped marking the stream as
byte-oriented (a C conformance bug) and exposed observably missing
synchronization (a POSIX conformance bug) where one of these functions
could wrongly complete despite another thread provably holding the
lock.

the C standard requires that "the contents of the array remain
unchanged" in this case.
this patch also changes the behavior on read errors, but in that case
"the array contents are indeterminate", so the application cannot
inspect them anyway.

Empty name was rejected in dn_expand since commit
56b57f37a46dab432247bf29d96fcb11fbd02a6d
which is a regression as reported by Natanael Copa.
Furthermore if an offset pointer in a compressed name
pointed to a terminating 0 byte (instead of a label)
the returned name was not null terminated.

this function is needed for some important practical applications of
ABI compatibility, and may be useful for supporting some non-portable
software at the source level too.
I was hesitant to add a function which imposes any constraints on
malloc internals; however, it turns out that any malloc implementation
which has realloc must already have an efficient way to determine the
size of existing allocations, so no additional constraint is imposed.
for now, some internal malloc definitions are duplicated in the new
source file. if/when malloc is refactored to put them in a shared
internal header file, these could be removed.
since malloc_usable_size is conventionally declared in malloc.h, the
empty stub version of this file was no longer suitable. it's updated
to provide the standard allocator functions, nonstandard ones (even if
stdlib.h would not expose them based on the feature test macros in
effect), and any malloc-extension functions provided (currently, only
malloc_usable_size).

if there is already a waiter for a lock, spinning on the lock is
essentially an attempt to steal it from whichever waiter would obtain
it via any priority rules in place, and is therefore undesirable. in
the current implementation, there is always an inherent race window at
unlock during which a newly-arriving thread may steal the lock from
the existing waiters, but we should aim to keep this window minimal
rather than enlarging it.

empirically, this increases the maximum rate of wait/post operations
between two threads by 20-150 times on machines I tested, including
x86 and arm. conceptually, it makes sense to do some spinning because
semaphores are intended to be usable as a notification mechanism
between threads, not just as locks, and low-latency notification is a
valuable property to have.

the previous spin limit of 10000 was utterly unreasonable.
empirically, it could consume up to 200000 cycles, whereas a failed
futex wait (EAGAIN) typically takes 1000 cycles or less, and even a
true wait/wake round seems much less expensive.
the new counts (100 for general wait, 200 in barrier) were simply
chosen to be in the range of what's reasonable without having adverse
effects on casual micro-benchmark tests I have been running. they may
still be too high, from a standpoint of not wasting cpu cycles, but at
least they're a lot better than before. rigorous testing across
different archs and cpu models should be performed at some point to
determine whether further adjustments should be made.

this is analogous commit fffc5cda10e0c5c910b40f7be0d4fa4e15bb3f48
which fixed the corresponding issue for mutexes.
the robust list can't be used here because the locks do not share a
common layout with mutexes. at some point it may make sense to simply
incorporate a mutex object into the FILE structure and use it, but
that would be a much more invasive change, and it doesn't mesh well
with the current design that uses a simpler code path for internal
locking and pulls in the recursive-mutex-like code when the flockfile
API is used explicitly.

the subsequent code in pthread_create and the code which copies TLS
initialization images to the new thread's TLS space assume that the
memory provided to them is zero-initialized, which is true when it's
obtained by pthread_create using mmap. however, when the caller
provides a stack using pthread_attr_setstack, pthread_create cannot
make any assumptions about the contents. simply zero-filling the
relevant memory in this case is the simplest and safest fix.

the main idea of the changes made is to have waiters wait directly on
the "barrier" lock that was used to prevent them from making forward
progress too early rather than first waiting on the atomic state value
and then attempting to lock the barrier.
in addition, adjustments to the mutex waiter count are optimized.
previously, each waking waiter decremented the count (unless it was
the first) then immediately incremented it again for the next waiter
(unless it was the last). this was a roundabout was of achieving the
equivalent of incrementing it once for the first waiter and
decrementing it once for the last.

previously, wake order could be unpredictable: if a waiter happened to
leave its futex wait on the state early, e.g. due to EAGAIN while
restarting after a signal handler, it could acquire the mutex out of
turn. handling this required ugly O(n) list walking in the unwait
function and accounting to remove waiters that already woke from the
list.
with the new changes, the "barrier" locks in each waiter node are only
unlocked in turn. in addition to simplifying the code, this seems to
improve performance slightly, probably by reducing the number of
accesses threads make to each other's stacks.
as an additional benefit, unrecoverable mutex re-locking errors
(mainly ENOTRECOVERABLE for robust mutexes) no longer need to be
handled with deadlock; they can be reported to the caller, since the
unlocking sequence makes it unnecessary to rely on the mutex to
synchronize access to the waiter list.

the immediate issue that was reported by Jens Gustedt and needed to be
fixed was corruption of the cv/mutex waiter states when switching to
using a new mutex with the cv after all waiters were unblocked but
before they finished returning from the wait function.
self-synchronized destruction was also handled poorly and may have had
race conditions. and the use of sequence numbers for waking waiters
admitted a theoretical missed-wakeup if the sequence number wrapped
through the full 32-bit space.
the new implementation is largely documented in the comments in the
source. the basic principle is to use linked lists initially attached
to the cv object, but detachable on signal/broadcast, made up of nodes
residing in automatic storage (stack) on the threads that are waiting.
this eliminates the need for waiters to access the cv object after
they are signaled, and allows us to limit wakeup to one waiter at a
time during broadcasts even when futex requeue cannot be used.
performance is also greatly improved, roughly double some tests.
basically nothing is changed in the process-shared cond var case,
where this implementation does not work, since processes do not have
access to one another's local storage.
