2013-12-12Add test case for pthread_[sg]etname_np.Carlos O'Donell
This commit adds a testcase for pthread_setname_np and pthread_getname_np. The testcase itself has four tests to validate that these functions work as expected. The test is only enabled for Linux since it requires access to an alternate method for validating the functions work.

2013-12-04PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI 4/6: Stack frame layout changesUlrich Weigand
This updates glibc for the changes in the ELFv2 relating to the stack frame layout. These are described in more detail here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01149.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01146.html Specifically, the "compiler and linker doublewords" were removed, which has the effect that the save slot for the TOC register is now at offset 24 rather than 40 to the stack pointer. In addition, a function may now no longer necessarily assume that its caller has set up a 64-byte register save area its use. To address the first change, the patch goes through all assembler files and replaces immediate offsets in instructions accessing the ABI-defined stack slots by symbolic offsets. Those already were defined in ucontext_i.sym and used in some of the context routines, but that doesn't really seem like the right place for those defines. The patch instead defines those symbolic offsets in sysdeps.h, in two variants for the old and new ABI, and uses them systematically in all assembler files, not just the context routines. The second change only affected a few assembler files that used the save area to temporarily store some registers. In those cases where this happens within a leaf function, this patch changes the code to store those registers to the "red zone" below the stack pointer. Otherwise, the functions already allocate a stack frame, and the patch changes them to add extra space in these frames as temporary space for the ELFv2 ABI.
2013-12-04PowerPC64: Add __private_ss field to TCB headerUlrich Weigand
The TCB header on Intel contains a field __private_ss that is used to efficiently implement the -fsplit-stack GCC feature. In order to prepare for a possible future implementation of that feature on powerpc64, we'd like to reserve a similar field in the TCB header as well. (It would be good if this went in with or before the ELFv2 patches to ensure that this field will be available always in the ELFv2 environment.) The field needs to be added at the front of tcbhead_t structure to avoid changing the ABI; see the recent discussion when adding the EBB fields.

2013-10-04PowerPC ugly symbol versioningAlan Modra
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00090.html This patch fixes symbol versioning in setjmp/longjmp. The existing code uses raw versions, which results in wrong symbol versioning when you want to build glibc with a base version of 2.19 for LE. Note that the merging the 64-bit and 32-bit versions in novmx-lonjmp.c and pt-longjmp.c doesn't result in GLIBC_2.0 versions for 64-bit, due to the base in shlib_versions. * sysdeps/powerpc/longjmp.c: Use proper symbol versioning macros. * sysdeps/powerpc/novmx-longjmp.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/bsd-_setjmp.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/bsd-setjmp.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu/__longjmp.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu/setjmp.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/mcount.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/setjmp.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/setjmp.S: Likewise. * nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/pt-longjmp.c: Likewise.
2013-10-01Fix PI mutex check in pthread_cond_broadcast and pthread_cond_signalSiddhesh Poyarekar
Fixes BZ #15988. The check had a typo - it checked for PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP instead of PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NORMAL_NP. It has now been replaced by the already existing convenience macro USE_REQUEUE_PI.

2013-07-03Add x86 init-arch to nptlH.J. Lu
2013-07-02Add a configure option to enable lock elision and disable by defaultAndi Kleen
Can be enabled with --enable-lock-elision=yes at configure time.
2013-07-02Disable elision for any pthread_mutexattr_settype callAndi Kleen
PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL requires deadlock for nesting, DEFAULT does not. Since glibc uses the same value (0) disable elision for any call to pthread_mutexattr_settype() with a 0 value. This implies that a program can disable elision by doing pthread_mutexattr_settype(&attr, PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL) Based on a original proposal by Rich Felker.
2013-07-02Add elision to pthread_mutex_{try,timed,un}lockAndi Kleen
Add elision paths to the basic mutex locks. The normal path has a check for RTM and upgrades the lock to RTM when available. Trylocks cannot automatically upgrade, so they check for elision every time. We use a 4 byte value in the mutex to store the lock elision adaptation state. This is separate from the adaptive spin state and uses a separate field. Condition variables currently do not support elision. Recursive mutexes and condition variables may be supported at some point, but are not in the current implementation. Also "trylock" will not automatically enable elision unless some other lock call has been already called on the lock. This version does not use IFUNC, so it means every lock has one additional check for elision. Benchmarking showed the overhead to be negligible.
2013-07-02Add minimal test suite changes for elision enabled kernelsAndi Kleen
tst-mutex5 and 8 test some behaviour not required by POSIX, that elision changes. This changes these tests to not check this when elision is enabled at configure time.
2013-07-02Add new internal mutex type flags for elision.Andi Kleen
Add Enable/disable flags used internally Extend the mutex initializers to have the fields needed for elision. The layout stays the same, and this is not visible to programs. These changes are not exposed outside pthread
2013-07-02Add the low level infrastructure for pthreads lock elision with TSXAndi Kleen
Lock elision using TSX is a technique to optimize lock scaling It allows to run locks in parallel using hardware support for a transactional execution mode in 4th generation Intel Core CPUs. See http://www.intel.com/software/tsx for more Information. This patch implements a simple adaptive lock elision algorithm based on RTM. It enables elision for the pthread mutexes and rwlocks. The algorithm keeps track whether a mutex successfully elides or not, and stops eliding for some time when it is not. When the CPU supports RTM the elision path is automatically tried, otherwise any elision is disabled. The adaptation algorithm and its tuning is currently preliminary. The code adds some checks to the lock fast paths. Micro-benchmarks show little to no difference without RTM. This patch implements the low level "lll_" code for lock elision. Followon patches hook this into the pthread implementation Changes with the RTM mutexes: ----------------------------- Lock elision in pthreads is generally compatible with existing programs. There are some obscure exceptions, which are expected to be uncommon. See the manual for more details. - A broken program that unlocks a free lock will crash. There are ways around this with some tradeoffs (more code in hot paths) I'm still undecided on what approach to take here; have to wait for testing reports. - pthread_mutex_destroy of a lock mutex will not return EBUSY but 0. - There's also a similar situation with trylock outside the mutex, "knowing" that the mutex must be held due to some other condition. In this case an assert failure cannot be recovered. This situation is usually an existing bug in the program. - Same applies to the rwlocks. Some of the return values changes (for example there is no EDEADLK for an elided lock, unless it aborts. However when elided it will also never deadlock of course) - Timing changes, so broken programs that make assumptions about specific timing may expose already existing latent problems. Note that these broken programs will break in other situations too (loaded system, new faster hardware, compiler optimizations etc.) - Programs with non recursive mutexes that take them recursively in a thread and which would always deadlock without elision may not always see a deadlock. The deadlock will only happen on an early or delayed abort (which typically happens at some point) This only happens for mutexes not explicitely set to PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL or PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP. PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL mutexes do not elide. The elision default can be set at configure time. This patch implements the basic infrastructure for elision.
2013-06-24BZ #12310: pthread_exit in static app. segfaultsVladimir Nikulichev
Static applications that call pthread_exit on the main thread segfault. This is because after a thread terminates __libc_start_main decrements __nptl_nthreads which is only defined in pthread_create. Therefore the right solution is to add a requirement to pthread_create from pthread_exit. ~~~ nptl/ 2013-06-24 Vladimir Nikulichev <v.nikulichev@gmail.com> [BZ #12310] * pthread_exit.c: Add reference to pthread_create.

2013-06-15New API to set default thread attributesSiddhesh Poyarekar
This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then run pthread_create without additional attributes.
2013-06-14Avoid access beyond memory bounds in pthread_attr_getaffinity_npSiddhesh Poyarekar
Resolves BZ #15618. pthread_attr_getaffinity_np may write beyond bounds of the input cpuset buffer if the size of the input buffer is smaller than the buffer present in the input pthread attributes. Fix is to copy to the extent of the minimum of the source and the destination.
2013-06-10x86*: Return syscall error for lll_futex_wake.Carlos O'Donell
It is very very possible that the futex syscall returns an error and that the caller of lll_futex_wake may want to look at that error and propagate the failure. This patch allows a caller to see the syscall error. There are no users of the syscall error at present, but future cleanups are now be able to check for the error. -- nplt/ 2013-06-10 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/lowlevellock.h (lll_futex_wake): Return syscall error. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.h (lll_futex_wake): Return syscall error.
