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.

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.

The macros in lowlevellock.h are returning positive errors, but the
users of the macros expect negative. This causes e.g. sem_wait to
sometimes return an error with errno set to -EWOULDBLOCK.

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.

This turns out to be helpful when doing a from-scratch cross-compile of
gcc and glibc, since you can then do "make install-headers" in glibc
even before you have a functioning tile gcc.

[BZ#15431]
* locales/sv_FI: Add LC_MEASUREMENT, use copy in LC_TELEPHONE,
update LC_ADDRESS with using postal_fmt from Finnish Post Office
recommendations at

Resolves #12515.
Use CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID instead of times to get better precision
in the value returned by clock.

GCC 4.8 enables -ftree-loop-distribute-patterns at -O3 by default and
this optimization may transform loops into memset/memmove calls. Without
proper handling this may generate unexpected PLT calls on GLIBC.
This patch fixes by create memset/memmove alias to internal GLIBC
__GI_memset/__GI_memmove symbols.

The most common use case of math functions is with default rounding
mode, i.e. rounding to nearest. Setting and restoring rounding mode
is an unnecessary overhead for this, so I've added support for a
context, which does the set/restore only if the FP status needs a
change. The code is written such that only x86 uses these. Other
architectures should be unaffected by it, but would definitely benefit
if the set/restore has as much overhead relative to the rest of the
code, as the x86 bits do.
Here's a summary of the performance improvement due to these
improvements; I've only mentioned functions that use the set/restore
and have benchmark inputs for x86_64:
Before:
cos(): ITERS:4.69335e+08: TOTAL:28884.6Mcy, MAX:4080.28cy, MIN:57.562cy, 16248.6 calls/Mcy
exp(): ITERS:4.47604e+08: TOTAL:28796.2Mcy, MAX:207.721cy, MIN:62.385cy, 15543.9 calls/Mcy
pow(): ITERS:1.63485e+08: TOTAL:28879.9Mcy, MAX:362.255cy, MIN:172.469cy, 5660.86 calls/Mcy
sin(): ITERS:3.89578e+08: TOTAL:28900Mcy, MAX:704.859cy, MIN:47.583cy, 13480.2 calls/Mcy
tan(): ITERS:7.0971e+07: TOTAL:28902.2Mcy, MAX:1357.79cy, MIN:388.58cy, 2455.55 calls/Mcy
After:
cos(): ITERS:6.0014e+08: TOTAL:28875.9Mcy, MAX:364.283cy, MIN:45.716cy, 20783.4 calls/Mcy
exp(): ITERS:5.48578e+08: TOTAL:28764.9Mcy, MAX:191.617cy, MIN:51.011cy, 19071.1 calls/Mcy
pow(): ITERS:1.70013e+08: TOTAL:28873.6Mcy, MAX:689.522cy, MIN:163.989cy, 5888.18 calls/Mcy
sin(): ITERS:4.64079e+08: TOTAL:28891.5Mcy, MAX:6959.3cy, MIN:36.189cy, 16062.8 calls/Mcy
tan(): ITERS:7.2354e+07: TOTAL:28898.9Mcy, MAX:1295.57cy, MIN:380.698cy, 2503.7 calls/Mcy
So the improvements are:
cos: 27.9089%
exp: 22.6919%
pow: 4.01564%
sin: 19.1585%
tan: 1.96086%
The downside of the change is that it will have an adverse performance
impact on non-default rounding modes, but I think the tradeoff is
justified.

There were a few more string benchmarks (strcpy_chk and stpcpy_check)
in the debug directory that needed to be ported over.

Copy over already existing string performance tests into benchtests.
Bits not related to performance measurements have been omitted.

This is the initial support for string function performance tests,
along with copying tests for memcpy and memcpy-ifunc as proof of
concept. The string function benchmarks perform operations at
different alignments and for different sizes and compare performance
between plain operations and the optimized string operations. Due to
this their output is incompatible with the function benchmarks where
we're interested in fastest time, throughput, etc.
In future, the correctness checks in the benchmark tests can be
removed. Same goes for the performance measurements in the
string/test-*.

__clock_gettime and other __clock_* functions could result in an extra
PLT reference within libc.so if it actually gets used. None of the
code currently uses them, which is why this probably went unnoticed.

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.
