Optimize i386 syscall inlining for GCC 5
Since GCC 5 and above can properly spill %ebx when needed, we can inline
syscalls with 6 arguments if GCC 5 or above is used to compile glibc.
This patch rewrites INTERNAL_SYSCALL macros and skips __libc_do_syscall
for GCC 5.
For sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/brk.c, with -O2 -march=i686
-mtune=generic, GCC 5.2 now generates:
<__brk>:
0: push %ebx
1: mov $0x2d,%eax
6: mov 0x8(%esp),%ebx
a: call b <__brk+0xb> b: R_386_PC32 __x86.get_pc_thunk.dx
f: add $0x2,%edx 11: R_386_GOTPC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
15: call *%gs:0x10
1c: mov 0x0(%edx),%edx 1e: R_386_GOT32 __curbrk
22: cmp %eax,%ebx
24: mov %eax,(%edx)
26: ja 30 <__brk+0x30>
28: xor %eax,%eax
2a: pop %ebx
2b: ret
instead of
<__brk>:
0: push %ebx
1: mov 0x8(%esp),%ecx
5: call 6 <__brk+0x6> 6: R_386_PC32 __x86.get_pc_thunk.bx
a: add $0x2,%ebx c: R_386_GOTPC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
10: xchg %ecx,%ebx
12: mov $0x2d,%eax
17: call *%gs:0x10
1e: xchg %ecx,%ebx
20: mov %eax,%edx
22: mov 0x0(%ebx),%eax 24: R_386_GOT32 __curbrk
28: mov %edx,(%eax)
2a: xor %eax,%eax
2c: cmp %edx,%ecx
2e: ja 38 <__brk+0x38>
30: pop %ebx
31: ret
The new one is shorter by 2 instructions.
