2012-11-06tile: support very large shared objectsChris Metcalf
With gcc 4.8 tilegx has support for -mcmodel=large, to tolerate very large shared objects. This option changes the compiler output to not include direct jump instructions, which have a range of only 2^30, i.e +/- 512MB. Instead the compiler marshalls the target PCs into registers and then uses jump- or call-to-register instructions. For glibc, the upshot is that we need to arrange for a few functions to tolerate the possibility of a large range between the PC and the target. In particular, the crti.S and start.S code needs to be able to reach from .init to the PLT, as does gmon-start.c. The elf-init.c code has the reverse problem, needing to call from libc_nonshared.a (linked at the end of shared objects) back to the _init section at the beginning. No other functions in *_nonshared.a need to be built this way, as they only call the PLT (or potentially each other), but all of that code is linked at the very end of the shared object. We don't build the standard -static archives with this option as the performance cost is high enough and the use case is rare enough that it doesn't seem worthwhile. Instead, we would encourage developers who need the -static model with huge executables to build a private copy of glibc and configure it with -mcmodel=large. Note that libc.so et al don't need any changes; the only changes are for code that is statically linked into user code built with -mcmodel=large. For the assembly code, I just rewrote it so that it unconditionally uses the large model. To be able to pass -mcmodel=large to csu/elf-init.c and csu/gmon-start.c, I need to check to see if the compiler supports that flag, since gcc 4.7 doesn't; I added the support by creating a small Makefile fragment that just runs the compiler to check.
2012-11-06tile: improve simulator notification for relative paths in dlopenChris Metcalf
Normally, the simulator is notified of absolute pathnames by the _dl_load_hook hook. However, when a relative pathname is used, the simulator may not know that the relative path matches a path that it could figure out in the file system that it has access to. Instead we provide a simplified version of the realpath function so we can pass a plausible absolute pathname to the simulator. Since we're now doing more work at object load time, we also add a guard so we do no work at all if we're not running on the simulator.
2012-11-06Optimize tile (mostly tilegx) memcpy and memmove performance.Chris Metcalf
- Override <memcopy.h> so we use full 8-byte word copies on tilegx32 for memmove, then use op_t in memcpy instead of the previous locally-defined word_t just to avoid proliferating identical types. - Fix bug in memcpy prefetch that caused us to never prefetch past the first cache line. - Optimize misaligned memcpy by inlining _wordcopy_fwd_dest_aligned instead of just doing a dumb word-at-a-time copy. - Make memcpy safe for forward copies by doing all the loads from a given cache line prior to doing a wh64 (cache line zero-fill) on the destination. Remove now-redundant src == dst check. - Copy and optimize the generic wordcopy.c routines to use the tile "double align" instruction instead of the MERGE macro; to avoid offset addressing mode (which tile doesn't have) by rewriting the pointer math to load and store with a zero index; and to use post-increment addresses in the inner loops to improve scheduling.

2012-11-05[S390,PPC] Implement FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET for timedwait functionsSiddhesh Poyarekar
Since the FUTEX_WAIT operation takes a relative timeout, the pthread_cond_timedwait and other timed function implementations have to get a relative timeout from the absolute timeout parameter it gets before it makes the futex syscall. This value is then converted back into an absolute timeout within the kernel. This is a waste and has hence been improved upon by a FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET operation (OR'd with FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME to make the kernel use the realtime clock instead of the default monotonic clock). This was implemented only in the x86 and sh assembly code and not in the C code. This patch implements support for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET whenever available (since linux-2.6.29) for s390 and powerpc.
