these are based on the ARM optimized-routines repository v20.05
(ef907c7a799a), with macro dependencies flattened out and memmove code
removed from memcpy. this change is somewhat unfortunate since having
the branch for memmove support in the large n case of memcpy is the
performance-optimal and size-optimal way to do both, but it makes
memcpy alone (static-linked) about 40% larger and suggests a policy
that use of memcpy as memmove is supported.
tabs used for alignment have also been replaced with spaces.
|
|
Allow the existing ARM assembler memcpy implementation to be used for
both big and little endian targets.
|
|
presently all archs define SIGSTKFLT but this is not correct. change
strsignal as a prerequisite for fixing that.

unsigned char promotes to int, which can overflow when shifted left by
24 bits or more. this has been reported multiple times but then
forgotten. it's expected to be benign UB, but can trap when built with
explicit overflow catching (ubsan or similar). fix it now.
note that promotion to uint32_t is safe and portable even outside of
the assumptions usually made in musl, since either uint32_t has rank
at least unsigned int, so that no further default promotions happen,
or int is wide enough that the shift can't overflow. this is a
desirable property to have in case someone wants to reuse the code
elsewhere.

Commit d9bdfd164 ("fix memccpy to not access buffer past given size")
correctly added a check for 'n' nonzero, but made the pre-existing test
'*s==c' redundant: n!=0 implies *s==c. Remove the unnecessary check.
Reported by Alexey Izbyshev.

For Thumb2 compatibility, replace two instances of a single
instruction "orr with a variable shift" with the two instruction
equivalent. Neither of the replacements are in a performance critical
loop.
|
|
memccpy would return a pointer over the given size when c is not
found in the source buffer and n reaches 0.
|

first, the condition (mem && k < p) is redundant, because mem being
nonzero implies the needle is periodic with period exactly p, in which
case any byte that appears in the needle must appear in the last p
bytes of the needle, bounding the shift (k) by p.
second, the whole point of replacing the shift k by mem (=l-p) is to
prevent shifting by less than mem when discarding the memory on shift,
in which case linear time could not be guaranteed. but as written, the
check also replaced shifts greater than mem by mem, reducing the
benefit of the shift. there is no possible benefit to this reduction of
the shift; since mem is being cleared, the full shift is valid and
more optimal. so only replace the shift by mem when it would be less
than mem.
|
|
this was leftover from before the initial commit.
|
|
mem0 && mem && ... is redundant since mem can only be nonzero when
mem0 is nonzero.

use the GNU C may_alias attribute if available, and fallback to naive
byte-by-byte loops if __GNUC__ is not defined.
this patch has been written to minimize changes so that history
remains reviewable; it does not attempt to bring the affected code
into a more consistent or elegant form.

the comparison must take place in the address space model as an
integer type, since comparing pointers that are not pointing into the
same array is undefined.
the subsequent d<s comparison however is valid, because it's only
reached in the case where the source and dest overlap, in which case
they are necessarily pointing to parts of the same array.
to make the comparison, use an unsigned range check for dist(s,d)>=n,
algebraically !(-n<s-d<n). subtracting n yields !(-2*n<s-d-n<0), which
mapped into unsigned modular arithmetic is !(-2*n<s-d-n) or rather
-2*n>=s-d-n.

libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and
related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because
it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions
removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were
recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when
libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented)
cancellation points had to include it.
remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros
and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases.
in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several
internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h.
declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to
stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in
libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are
needed to use them correctly anyway.
|

commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of
libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers,
allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their
visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly
namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which
exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX
functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that
are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are
"internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc.
rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these
functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to
every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of
wrapping the corresponding public headers.
parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have
wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include
path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add
declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces
and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they
correspond to.
along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for
the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means
source files will no longer need to include any special headers to
access these features.
over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally
public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to
include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually
implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.

Avoid saving/restoring the incoming argument by reusing memset return
value.

maintainer's note: past sentiment was that, despite being imperfect
and unable to force clearing of all possible copies of sensitive data
(e.g. in registers, register spills, signal contexts left on the
stack, etc.) this function would be added if major implementations
agreed on it, which has happened -- several BSDs and glibc all include
it.

patch by Pascal Cuoq.

in arm rtabi these __aeabi_* functions have special abi (they are
only allowed to clobber r0,r1,r2,r3,ip,lr,cpsr), so they cannot
be simple wrappers around normal string functions (which may
clobber other registers), the safest solution is to write them in
asm, a minimalistic implementation works because these are not
supposed to be emitted by compilers or used in general.
|
|
the thumb incompatibilities in the asm are probably only minor and
should be fixable, but for now just use the C version.

the two/three/four byte memmem specializations are not prepared to
handle haystacks shorter than the needle; they unconditionally read at
least up to the needle length and subtract from the haystack length.
if the haystack is shorter, the remaining haystack length underflows
and produces an unbounded search which will eventually either crash or
find a spurious match.
the top-level memmem function attempted to avoid this case already by
checking for haystack shorter than needle, but it failed to re-check
after using memchr to remove the maximal prefix not containing the
first byte of the needle.
|
|
this is possible with the new build system that allows src/*/$(ARCH)/*
files which do not shadow a file in the parent directory, and yields a
more logical organization. eventually it will be possible to remove
arch/*/src from the build system.
|
|
this depends on commit 9f5eb77992b42d484d69e879d24ef86466f20f21, which
made it possible to use a .c file for arch-specific replacements, and on
commit 2f853dd6b9a95d5b13ee8f9df762125e0588df5d, the out-of-tree build
support, which made it so that src/*/$(ARCH)/* 'replacement' files get
used even if they don't match the base name of a .c file in the parent
directory.

the idea of the three-instruction sequence being removed was to be
able to return to thumb code when used on armv4t+ from a thumb caller,
but also to be able to run on armv4 without the bx instruction
available (in which case the low bit of lr would always be 0).
however, without compiler support for generating such a sequence from
C code, which does not exist and which there is unlikely to be
interest in implementing, there is little point in having it in the
asm, and it would likely be easier to add pre-armv4t support via
enhanced linker handling of R_ARM_V4BX than at the compiler level.
removing this code simplifies adding support for building libc in
thumb2-only form (for cortex-m).

contrary to commit 9367fe926196f407705bb07cd29c6e40eb1774dd, all
relevant gas versions actually do support .syntax unified.
|
|
this interface is non-standardized and is a GNU invention, and as
such, our implementation should match the behavior of the GNU
function. one peculiarity the old implementation got wrong was the
handling of all-zero digit sequences: they are supposed to compare
greater than digit sequences of which they are a proper prefix, as in
009 < 00.
in addition, high bytes were treated with char signedness rather than
as unsigned. this was wrong regardless of what the GNU function does
since the resulting order relation varied by arch.
the new strverscmp implementation makes explicit the cases where the
order differs from what strcmp would produce, of which there are only
two.

analogous to commit 8ed66ecbcba1dd0f899f22b534aac92a282f42d5 for i386.

none of these are actual textrels because of ld-time binding performed
by -Bsymbolic-functions, but I'm changing them with the goal of making
ld-time binding purely an optimization rather than relying on it for
semantic purposes.
in the case of memmove's call to memcpy, making it explicit that the
memmove asm is assuming the forward-copying behavior of the memcpy asm
is desirable anyway; in case memcpy is ever changed, the semantic
mismatch would be apparent while editing memmcpy.s.

on most cpu models, "rep stosq" has high overhead that makes it
undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the
minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size
126, and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosq" is
sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu
model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 times slower when the
destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus ensures
alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional
alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial.
this version is based in part on changes proposed by Denys Vlasenko.

on most cpu models, "rep stosl" has high overhead that makes it
undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the
minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size 62,
and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosl" is very
sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu
model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 to 4 times slower when
the destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus
ensures alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional
alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial.
this version is based in part on changes to the x86_64 memset asm
proposed by Denys Vlasenko.

The code does a potentially misaligned 8-byte store to fill the tail
of the buffer. Then it fills the initial part of the buffer
which is a multiple of 8 bytes.
Therefore, if size is divisible by 8, we were storing last word twice.
This patch decrements byte count before dividing it by 8,
making one less store in "size is divisible by 8" case,
and not changing anything in all other cases.
All at the cost of replacing one MOV insn with LEA insn.

"and $0xff,%esi" is a six-byte insn (81 e6 ff 00 00 00), can use
4-byte "movzbl %sil,%esi" (40 0f b6 f6) instead.
64-bit imul is slow, move it as far up as possible so that the result
(rax) has more time to be ready by the time we start using it
in mem stores.
There is no need to shuffle registers in preparation to "rep movs"
if we are not going to take that code path. Thus, patch moves
"jump if len < 16" instructions up, and changes alternate code path
to use rdx and rdi instead of rcx and r8.

this file had been a mess that went unnoticed ever since it was
imported. some lines used spaces for indention while others used tabs,
and tabs were used for alignment.

commit 27828f7e9adb6b4f93ca56f6f98ef4c44bb5ed4e fixed compatibility
with clang's internal assembler, but broke compatibility with gas and
the traditional arm asm syntax by switching to the arm "unified
assembler language" (UAL). recent versions of gas also support UAL,
but require the .syntax directive to be used to switch to it. clang on
the other hand defaults to UAL. and old versions of gas (still
relevant) don't support UAL at all.
for the conditional ldm/stm instructions, "ia" is default and can just
be omitted, resulting in a mnemonic that's compatible with both
traditional and UAL syntax. but for byte/halfword loads and stores,
there seems to be no mnemonic compatible with both, and thus .word is
used to produce the desired opcode explicitly. the .inst directive is
not used because it is not compatible with older assemblers.

this function is specified to leave the last byte with "unspecified
disposition" when the length is odd, so for the most part correct
programs should not be calling swab with odd lengths. however, doing
so is permitted, and should not write past the end of the destination
buffer.

for LC_MESSAGES, translation of strerror and similar literal message
functions is supported. for messages in other places (particularly the
dynamic linker) that use format strings, translation is not yet
supported. in order to make it possible and safe, such messages will
need to be refactored to separate the textual content from the format.
for LC_TIME, the day and month names and strftime-style format strings
provided by nl_langinfo are supported for translation. however there
may be limitations, as some of the original C-locale nl_langinfo
strings are non-unique and thus perhaps non-suitable as keys.
overall, the locale support activated by this commit should not be
seen as complete and polished but as a basis for beginning to test
locale functionality and implement locales.
|
|
this is mainly done for consistency with the ctype functions and to
declutter the src/locale directory.
|
|
the logic for this loop was copied from null-terminated-string logic
in strstr without properly adapting it to work with explicit lengths.
presumably this error could result in false negatives (wrongly
comparing past the end of the needle/haystack), false positives
(stopping comparison early when the needle contains null bytes), and
crashes (from runaway reads past the end of mapped memory).
|
|
in cases where the memorized match range from the right factor
exceeded the length of the left factor, it was wrongly treated as a
mismatch rather than a match.
issue reported by Yves Bastide.
|
|
to optimize the search, memchr is used to find the first occurrence of
the first character of the needle in the haystack before switching to
a search for the full needle. however, the number of characters
skipped by this first step were not subtracted from the haystack
length, causing memmem to search past the end of the haystack.

unlike the old C memcpy, this version handles word-at-a-time reads and
writes even for misaligned copies. it does not require that the cpu
support misaligned accesses; instead, it performs bit shifts to
realign the bytes for the destination.
essentially, this is the C version of the ARM assembly language
memcpy. the ideas are all the same, and it should perform well on any
arch with a decent number of general-purpose registers that has a
barrel shift operation. since the barrel shifter is an optional cpu
feature on microblaze, it may be desirable to provide an alternate asm
implementation on microblaze, but otherwise the C code provides a
competitive implementation for "generic risc-y" cpu archs that should
alleviate the urgent need for arch-specific memcpy asm.
|
|
this version of memset is optimized both for small and large values of
n, and makes no misaligned writes, so it is usable (and near-optimal)
on all archs. it is capable of filling up to 52 or 56 bytes without
entering a loop and with at most 7 branches, all of which can be fully
predicted if memset is called multiple times with the same size.
it also uses the attribute extension to inform the compiler that it is
violating the aliasing rules, unlike the previous code which simply
assumed it was safe to violate the aliasing rules since translation
unit boundaries hide the violations from the compiler. for non-GNUC
compilers, 100% portable fallback code in the form of a naive loop is
provided. I intend to eventually apply this approach to all of the
string/memory functions which are doing word-at-a-time accesses.
|
|
the approach of this implementation was heavily investigated prior to
adopting it. attempts to obtain similar performance with pure C code
were capping out at about 75% of the performance of the asm, with
considerably larger code size, and were fragile in that the compiler
would sometimes compile part of memcpy into a call to itself.
therefore, just using the asm seems to be the best option.
this commit is the first to make use of the new subarch-specific asm
framework. the new armel directory is the location for arm asm that
should not be used for all arm subarchs, only the default one. armhf
is the name of the little-endian hardfloat-ABI subarch, which can use
the exact same asm. in both cases, the build system finds the asm by
following a memcpy.sub file.
the other two subarchs, armeb and armebhf, would need a big-endian
variant of this code. it would not be hard to adapt the code to big
endian, but I will hold off on doing so until there is demand for it.
