In my powerpc32 testing I've observed misc/test-gettimebasefreq
failing.
This is a glibc build (soft-float, though that's not relevant here)
without any --with-cpu and without any special configuration of the
default CPU for GCC either. In particular, it's one not using
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/hp-timing.h (although in fact the
processor I'm using for testing is POWER4-based), so hp_timing_t is
32-bit not 64-bit. But the VDSO call being used by
INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_NO_SYSCALL_FALLBACK is generating a 64-bit result
(high part in r3, low part in r4). The code extracting that result,
however, expects a result of the type hp_timing_t as passed to
INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_NO_SYSCALL_FALLBACK, meaning that only r3 (= 0) is
used and the value in r4 is ignored. This patch fixes this by always
using uint64_t as the type in INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_NO_SYSCALL_FALLBACK -
reflecting the actual ABI (unconditional in the kernel) of that VDSO
call. This is the minimal change for this issue - no check for
overflow, no change of the type of the timebase_freq variable or the
return type of __get_clockfreq to something other than hp_timing_t
(such a change would simply move the implicit conversions to the over
callers of that function), no change to hp_timing_t itself.
Tested for powerpc32 soft float.
[BZ #17263]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/get_clockfreq.c: Include
<stdint.h>.
(__get_clockfreq): Use uint64_t instead of hp_timing_t in
INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_NO_SYSCALL_FALLBACK call.

Disable x87 inline functions for SSE2 math
When i386 and x86-64 mathinline.h was merged into a single mathinline.h,
"gcc -m32" enables x87 inline functions on x86-64 even when -mfpmath=sse
and SSE2 is enabled. It is a regression on x86-64. We should check
__SSE2_MATH__ instead of __x86_64__ when disabling x87 inline functions.
gcc-3.2 is unable to correctly compile x86_64 routines for llrint
since it gets redefined. This is because gcc 3.2 does not set
__SSE2_MATH__ for x86_64, thus exposing the duplicate definition.
The correct fix ought to be to check for both __SSE2_MATH__ and
__x86_64__ and enable those bits only when neither are defined.
Tested fix with the reproducer for
409e00bd69 as well as with gcc-3.2.
The compiler doesn't know that the cpuid asm statement in intel_check_word
will trash RBX. We are lucky that it doesn't cause any problems since
RBX is also used by compiler for other purposes so that RBX is saved and
restored. This patch replaces it with __cpuid_count.
[BZ #17259]
* sysdeps/x86_64/cacheinfo.c (intel_check_word): Replace cpuid
asm statement with __cpuid_count.
Older versions of ld on ia64 support __ehdr_start, but generate relocs
when they shouldn't. This causes the ld.so to not run because it tries
to resolve the __ehdr_start symbol (but it's not exported).
On powerpc, floating-point environment macros are defined as pointers
to constants in the library that contain the bit-patterns of the
desired environment, instead of being magic constants cast to pointer
type.
For soft-float, the bit-patterns used for fenv_t are not laid out the
same as for hard-float. (e500 has a third layout used; that's not an
ABI issue because these values are only meaningful within a single
process, all of whose glibc libraries must come from the same build of
glibc.) While the __fe_dfl_env value for soft-float was appropriate
for the soft-float fenv_t representation, the other two constants had
the same bit-patterns as for hard-float. Those bit patterns had the
effect of having exceptions already raised, causing
math/test-fenv-return to fail; this patch fixes the patterns used.
(__fe_nonieee_env also had exceptions unmasked, though they should be
masked to match hard-float semantics. Since there is no separate
non-IEEE mode for soft-float, it's most appropriate for
__fe_nonieee_env to be the same as __fe_dfl_env; this patch makes it
an alias.)
Tested for powerpc-nofpu.
[BZ #17261]
* sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/fenv_const.c (__fe_enabled_env): Change
value to 0.
(__fe_nonieee_env): Define as an alias for __fe_dfl_env.

[BZ #16892]
* sysdeps/nptl/lowlevellock.h (__lll_timedlock): Use
atomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_acq rather than atomic_exchange_acq.
This test should be more robust about setting up its lang dirs.
I had two completely different systems (ia64 & x86_64) get wedged
in a way where the test just kept FAILing on me due to some of the
files missing. This probably wasn't a big deal until the recent
commit which made checking of the locale dirs more robust (for
security reasons).
further optimization. libc_feholdsetround_aarch64_ctx now only needs to
read the FPCR in the typical case, avoiding a redundant FPSR read.
Performance results show a good improvement (5-10% on sin()) on cores with
expensive FPCR/FPSR instructions.
This patch fixes the incorrect guard by __USE_MISC of struct winsize and
struct termio in powerpc termios header. Current states leads to build
failures if the program defines _XOPEN_SOURCE, but not _DEFAULT_SOURCE
or either _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE. Without any definition,
__USE_MISC will not be defined and neither the struct definitions.
This patch copies the default Linux ioctl-types.h by adjusting only the
character control field (c_cc) size in struct termio.
Use the SSI_IEEE_RAISE_EXCEPTION function as from feraiseexcept,
instead of __ieee_get+set_fp_status. Always raise the FP exceptions
from float-to-integer conversion.
Remove lowlevellock.h in favour of the generic implementation. The
generic implementation was tested natively and introduces no
regressions.
ChangeLog:
2014-08-04 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/lowlevellock.h: Remove
file.
The previous set of not-cancel.h headers (prior to the commit
2fbdf5339a) did not require the
arch to define nocancel entry points, so ia64 never did.
However, after the various files were merged, it became a hard
requirement for arches which mean ia64 failed to build.
Here we add dedicated entry points. It'd be nice to merge
with the existing stubs like other arches do, but the ia64
asm does not lend itself to interleaving of functions. If
someone has a suggestion on merging these, that'd be great,
but at least now we build & pass tests again.
The DEBUG macro is checked for its value in one place and if it is
defined in another. Make this consistent across the two cases and use
the same style that we did in mktime.c, which is to check if the macro
is defined and it is set.
Fixes -Wundef warnings for MBSTATE_T and HAVE_STRING_H. The
HAVE_STRING_H bit is a merge from the gnulib fnmatch.c and the
MBSTATE_T fix has been posted to gnulib for inclusion.
This patch fixes the remaining ONE_DIRECTION warnings for s390 specific conversions.
It defines ONE_DIRECTION to 0 like the patch from Steve Ellcey:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-05/msg00039.html
Changelog:
* sysdeps/s390/s390-64/utf16-utf32-z9.c
(ONE_DIRECTION): Define.
* sysdeps/s390/s390-64/utf8-utf16-z9.c
(ONE_DIRECTION): Define.
* sysdeps/s390/s390-64/utf8-utf32-z9.c
(ONE_DIRECTION): Define.
In this patch we take advantage of HSW memory bandwidth, manage to
reduce miss branch prediction by avoiding using branch instructions and
force destination to be aligned with avx instruction.
The CPU2006 403.gcc benchmark indicates this patch improves performance
from 2% to 10%.
Open file description locks have been merged into the Linux kernel for
v3.15. Add the appropriate command-value definitions and an update to
the manual that describes their usage.
