The pointer guard used for pointer mangling was not initialized for
static applications resulting in the security feature being disabled.
The pointer guard is now correctly initialized to a random value for
static applications. Existing static applications need to be
recompiled to take advantage of the fix.
The test tst-ptrguard1-static and tst-ptrguard1 add regression
coverage to ensure the pointer guards are sufficiently random
and initialized to a default value.

SSE2/SSSE3 versions are faster than SSE4.2 versions on Intel Silvermont.
|
|
|
|
I have small patch for new Intel Silvermont machines.
http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2013/05/06/intel-launches-low-power-high-performance-silvermont-microarchitecture
I checked this on my machine and see that strcpy, ... unaligned
versions are faster than ssse3 versions.

Resolves: BZ #15627
Add an assembler version of rtld-memset to avoid using SSE registers.

|
Resolves: #15465
The program name may be unavailable if the user application tampers
with argc and argv[]. Some parts of the dynamic linker caters for
this while others don't, so this patch consolidates the check and
fallback into a single macro and updates all users.

This implementation speed up memset in several ways. First is avoiding
expensive computed jump. Second is using fact that arguments of memset
are most of time aligned to 8 bytes.
Benchmark results on:

We add new memcpy version that uses unaligned loads which are fast
on modern processors. This allows second improvement which is avoiding
computed jump which is relatively expensive operation.

The EXTRACT_WORDS64 and INSERT_WORDS64 macros use movd for a 64-bit
operation. Somehow gcc manages to turn this into movq, but LLVM won't.

* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/math_private.h (MOVQ): New macro.
(EXTRACT_WORDS64) Use where appropriate.
(INSERT_WORDS64) Likewise.

While these instructions accept memory operands, only one operand
may be a memory operand. Giving two operands xm constraints gives
the compiler the option of using memory for both operands, which
would result in invalid assembly code. Using x for all operands is
more appropriate, as most x86_64 calling conventions will pass the
arguments in registers anyway.

* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/multiarch/s_fma.c (__fma_fma4): Replace xm
constraints with x constraints.
* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/multiarch/s_fmaf.c (__fmaf_fma4): Likewise.

The value of PI is never exactly PI in any floating point representation,
and the value of PI/2 is never PI/2. It is wrong to expect cos(M_PI_2l)
to return 0, instead it will return an answer that is non-zero because
M_PI_2l doesn't round to exactly PI/2 in the type used.
That is to say that the correct answer is to do the following:
* Take PI or PI/2.
* Round to the floating point representation.
* Take the rounded value and compute an infinite precision cos or sin.
* Use the rounded result of the infinite precision cos or sin as the
answer to the test.
I used printf to do the type rounding, and Wolfram's Alpha to do the
infinite precision cos calculations.
The following changes bring x86-64 and x86 to 1/2 ulp for two tests.
It shows that the x86 cos implementation is quite good, and that
our test are flawed.
Unfortunately given that the rounding errors are type dependent we
need to fix this for each type. No regressions on x86-64 or x86.

Due to a typo repeated several times, this bug hasn't been fixed yet,
despite being marked as resolved in glibc 2.12.
* sysdeps/x86_64/strcmp.S: Replace all occurrences of NOT_IN_lib
with NOT_IN_libc.
