<content type='text'>
Information about whether the ABI of long double is the same as that
of double is split between bits/mathdef.h and bits/wordsize.h.

When the ABIs are the same, bits/mathdef.h defines
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH.  In addition, in the case where the same glibc
binary supports both -mlong-double-64 and -mlong-double-128,
bits/wordsize.h defines __LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_OPTIONAL, along with
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH if this particular compilation is with
-mlong-double-64.

As part of the refactoring I proposed in
&lt;https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html&gt;, this
patch puts all that information in a single header,
bits/long-double.h.  It is included from sys/cdefs.h alongside the
include of bits/wordsize.h, so other headers generally do not need to
include bits/long-double.h directly.

Previously, various bits/mathdef.h headers and bits/wordsize.h headers
had this long double information (including implicitly in some
bits/mathdef.h headers through not having the defines present in the
default version).  After the patch, it's all in six bits/long-double.h
headers.  Furthermore, most of those new headers are not
architecture-specific.  Architectures with optional long double all
use the ldbl-opt sysdeps directory, either in the order (ldbl-64-128,
ldbl-opt, ldbl-128) or (ldbl-128ibm, ldbl-opt).  Thus a generic header
for the case where long double = double, and headers in ldbl-128,
ldbl-96 and ldbl-opt, suffices to cover every architecture except for
cases where long double properties vary between different ABIs sharing
a set of installed headers; fortunately all the ldbl-opt cases share a
single compiler-predefined macro __LONG_DOUBLE_128__ that can be used
to tell whether this compilation is -mlong-double-64 or
-mlong-double-128.

The two cases where a set of headers is shared between ABIs with
different long double properties, MIPS (o32 has long double = double,
other ABIs use ldbl-128) and SPARC (32-bit has optional long double,
64-bit has required long double), need their own bits/long-double.h
headers.

As with bits/wordsize.h, multiple-include protection for this header
is generally implicit through the include guards on sys/cdefs.h, and
multiple inclusion is harmless in any case.  There is one subtlety:
the header must not define __LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_OPTIONAL if
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH was defined before its inclusion, because doing
so breaks how sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-opt/nldbl-compat.h defines
__NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH itself before including system headers.  Subject
to keeping that working, it would be reasonable to move these macros
from defined/undefined #ifdef to always-defined 1/0 #if semantics, but
this patch does not attempt to do so, just rearranges where the macros
are defined.

After this patch, the only use of bits/mathdef.h is the alpha one for
modifying complex function ABIs for old GCC.  Thus, all versions of
the header other than the default and alpha versions are removed, as
is the include from math.h.

Tested for x86_64 and x86.  Also did compilation-only testing with
build-many-glibcs.py.

<title>Refactor FP_ILOGB* out of bits/mathdef.h.</title>

<id>b2491db6c814d614acdef9d7a4e44a8c3b3ae9dc</id>
<content type='text'>
Continuing the refactoring of bits/mathdef.h, this patch stops it
defining FP_ILOGB0 and FP_ILOGBNAN, moving the required information to
a new header bits/fp-logb.h.

There are only two possible values of each of those macros permitted
by ISO C.  TS 18661-1 adds corresponding macros for llogb, and their
values are required to correspond to those of the ilogb macros in the
obvious way.  Thus two boolean values - for which the same choices are
correct for most architectures - suffice to determine the value of all
these macros, and by defining macros for those boolean values in
bits/fp-logb.h we can then define the public FP_* macros in math.h and
avoid the present duplication of the associated feature test macro
logic.

This patch duly moves to bits/fp-logb.h defining __FP_LOGB0_IS_MIN and
__FP_LOGBNAN_IS_MIN.  Default definitions of those to 0 are correct
for both architectures, while ia64, m68k and x86 get their own
versions of bits/fp-logb.h to reflect their use of values different
from the defaults.

The patch renders many copies of bits/mathdef.h trivial (needed only
to avoid the default __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH).  I'll revise
&lt;https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00865.html&gt;
accordingly so that it removes all bits/mathdef.h headers except the
default one and the alpha one, and arranges for the header to be
included only by complex.h as the only remaining use at that point
will be for the alpha ABI issues there.

Tested for x86_64 and x86.  Also did compile-only testing with
build-many-glibcs.py (using glibc sources from before the commit that
introduced many build failures with undefined __GI___sigsetjmp).

This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code.  Current
usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall,
however it adds some issues:

  - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new
    thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions.  This cause
    a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and
    [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms
    (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957).

  - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and
    requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for
    both clone and vfork implementation).

  - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific
    code paths.  The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4],
    either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid
    implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a
    vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution).

    Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread
    cancellation signal and handling.

For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact
adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache
and invalidate each element pid.

Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as
cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at
create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue).
However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is
justifiable.

It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation.
And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that
this patch also solves:

  - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field
  - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork.
    Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it.

The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for
such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program
issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID
and pthread tid member).  However, as stated before in multiple discussions
threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this
semantics.

I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le.
For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from
posix/ folder (on a qemu system).  So it would require further testing
on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze
because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

At present, definitions of float_t and double_t are split among many
bits/mathdef.h headers.

For all but three architectures, these types are float and double.
Furthermore, if you assume __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to be defined, that
provides a more generic way of determining the correct values of these
typedefs.  Defining these typedefs more generally based on
__FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ was previously proposed by Paul Eggert in
&lt;https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00002.html&gt;.

This patch refactors things in the way I proposed in
&lt;https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00745.html&gt;.  A new
header bits/flt-eval-method.h defines a single macro,
__GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD, which is then used by math.h to define
float_t and double_t.  The default is based on __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__
(although actually a default to 0 would have the same effect for
current ports, because ports where values other than 0 or 16 are
possible all have their own headers).

To avoid changing the existing semantics in any case, including for
compilers not defining __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__, architecture-specific
files are then added for m68k, s390, x86 which replicate the existing
semantics.  At least with __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ values possible with
GCC, there should be no change to the choices of float_t and double_t
for any supported configuration.

Architecture maintainer notes:

* m68k: sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
  __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 2 to replicate the existing logic.  But
  actually GCC defines __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ to 0 if TARGET_68040.  It
  might make sense to make the header prefer to base things on
  __FLT_EVAL_METHOD__ if defined, like the x86 version, and so make
  the choices of these types more accurate (with a NEWS entry as for
  the other changes to these types on particular architectures).

* s390: sysdeps/s390/bits/flt-eval-method.h always defines
  __GLIBC_FLT_EVAL_METHOD to 1 to replicate the existing logic.  As
  previously discussed, it might make sense in coordination with GCC
  to eliminate the historic mistake, avoid excess precision in the
  -fexcess-precision=standard case and make the typedefs match (with a
  NEWS entry, again).

Tested for x86-64 and x86.  Also did compilation-only testing with

<title>Fix alpha sqrt fegetenv namespace (bug 20768).</title>

<id>860aacdad2d52af48bc549650726b29510feaba6</id>
<content type='text'>
On alpha, sqrt (a C90 function) brings in references to fegetenv
(C99), resulting in linknamespace test failures:

[initial] __sqrt -&gt; [libm.a(w_sqrt.o)] __ieee754_sqrt -&gt;
[libm.a(e_sqrt.o)] __feholdexcept -&gt; [libm.a(feholdexcpt.o)] fegetenv

This patch fixes this by making __feholdexcept call __fegetenv instead
of fegetenv.

Tested for Alpha (compilation only).

	[BZ #20768]
	* sysdeps/alpha/fpu/feholdexcpt.c (__feholdexcept): Call
	__fegetenv instead of fegetenv.

<title>Do not hardcode platform names in manual/libm-err-tab.pl (bug 14139).</title>

manual/libm-err-tab.pl hardcodes a list of names for particular
platforms (mapping from sysdeps directory name to friendly name for
the manual).  This goes against the principle of keeping information
about individual platforms in their corresponding sysdeps directory,
and the list is also very out-of-date regarding supported platforms
and their corresponding sysdeps directories.

This patch fixes this by adding a libm-test-ulps-name file alongside
each libm-test-ulps file.  The script then gets the friendly name from
that file, which is required to exist, so it no longer needs to allow
for the mapping being missing.

Tested for x86_64.
