2012-08-22Add versions of wcscpy, wcschr, wcsrchr for power6/power7.Will Schmidt
Initially based on the versions found in wcsmbs/* ; these files have been changed by hand unrolling, and adding some additional variables to allow some read-ahead to occur, which then relieves some of the wait-for-increment/wait-for-load/wait-for-compare-results pressure that was slowing down every iteration through the while-loop. For 64-bit Power7, These changes give an approx 20% throughput boost for the wcschr and wcsrchr functions; and approx 40% boost for the wcscpy function. 32-bit improvements appear to be slightly better with ~ %30 and ~ %45 respectively. Results for Power6 closely match those for power7.

[BZ #13579] Do not free l_initfini and allow it to be reused on subsequent dl_open calls for the same library. This fixes the invalid memory access in do_lookup_x when the previously free'd l_initfini was accessed through l_searchlist when a library had been opened for the second time.

[BZ #14134] When converting IBM930 code with iconv(), if IBM930 code which includes invalid multibyte character "0xffff" is specified, then iconv() segfaults. This is easy to see using the following command: echo '0x0e 0x43 0x8c 0xff 0xff 0x43 0xbd 0x43 0xbd' | xxd -r | iconv -f IBM930 -t UTF-8
