This patch cleans up for __ASSUME_ATFCTS now always being true for the
supported Linux kernel versions by removing conditional code in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux. Several fchownat.c files that were only
present because of differences in the fallback syscalls used
(depending on the architecture-specific names of chown-related
syscalls for 32-bit uids) are removed. Files that looks like they
could be replaced by syscalls.list entries have the standard "Consider
moving to syscalls.list." comment (see bug 14138) added. Conditionals
on the relevant __NR_* syscall numbers being defined are also removed,
since my analysis indicated that the relevant syscalls are always
defined for all relevant kernel versions using any affected file.
Much of the removed fallback code had unbounded stack allocations, so
this reduces the number of cases to consider for anyone reviewing uses
of alloca and VLAs in glibc.
There remain tests of __ASSUME_ATFCTS in io/openat.c (to determine
whether to define __have_atfcts) and sysdeps/posix/getcwd.c (which
also uses __have_atfcts); thus, the definition of __ASSUME_ATFCTS
remains in kernel-features.h. The logical condition relevant there is
whether openat64_not_cancel_3 is known to work. Hurd doesn't use this
version of getcwd at all, so the conditionals in getcwd.c are always
true in glibc. However, this code is also used in gnulib. So the
best way to deal with the conditionals there may be for gnulib people
to deal with merging all relevant changes in both directions between
the glibc and gnulib versions of this file, at the end of which the
openat conditionals should be in whatever form is best for gnulib, and
hardcoded in the _LIBC case to having openat supported.
Tested by comparing before-and-after disassembly of installed
(stripped) shared libraries, on x86_64 and x86. On x86 the patch made
no change to the disassembly; on x86_64, the only changes were in
readlinkat, where formerly the return value from the readlinkat
syscall was stored in an int variable before being converted to
ssize_t for the return, and now the return value is returned directly
without truncation to int. I think it's clearly correct not to
truncate the return value (although I also think the truncation would
not have been a user-visible bug because the kernel would never have
returned a value it could have affected).

With the recent tuning the C version of rwlocks is basically the same
performance as the x86 assembler version for uncontended locks (with a
a few cycles near the run-to-run variability). For others it should not
matter anyways.
So remove the assembler code and use the C version like other
architectures.
This patch relies on the C version of the rwlocks posted earlier.
With C rwlocks it is very straight forward to do adaptive elision
using TSX. It is based on the infrastructure added earlier
for mutexes, but uses its own elision macros. The macros
are fairly general purpose and could be used for other
elision purposes too.
This version is much cleaner than the earlier assembler based
version, and in particular implements adaptation which makes
it safer.
I changed the behavior slightly to not require any changes
in the test suite and fully conform to all expected
behaviors (generally at the cost of not eliding in
various situations). In particular this means the timedlock
variants are not elided. Nested trylock aborts.
The implementation of __get_nprocs uses a stactic variable to cache
the value of the current number of processors. The caching breaks when
'time (NULL) == 0':
$ cat nproc.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
time_t t;
struct timeval tv = {0, 0};
printf("settimeofday({0, 0}, NULL) = %d\n", settimeofday(&tv, NULL));
t = time(NULL);
printf("Time: %d, CPUs: %d\n", (unsigned int)t, get_nprocs());
return 0;
}
$ gcc -O3 nproc.c
$ ./a.out
settimeofday({0, 0}, NULL) = -1
Time: 1401311578, CPUs: 4
$ sudo ./a.out
settimeofday({0, 0}, NULL) = 0
Time: 0, CPUs: 0
The problem is with the condition used to check whether a cached
value should be returned or not:
static int cached_result;
static time_t timestamp;
time_t now = time (NULL);
time_t prev = timestamp;
atomic_read_barrier ();
if (now == prev)
return cached_result;
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that 'cached_result' has
been set at least once before returning it.
The hppa port has no need of a custom lowlevellock.c, it should
use the generic version which is updated and correct. This
similarly fixes bug 15119 for hppa.
In several cases we've had asm routines rely on syscalls not clobbering
call-clobbered registers, and that's now deemed ABI. So take advantage
of this in the INLINE_SYSCALL path as well.
Shrinks libc.so by about 1k.
