Commit Message

Wilco Dijkstra March 13, 2018, 6:27 p.m. UTC
This patch series cleans up the many uses of  __ieee754_sqrt(f/l) in GLIBC.
The goal is to enable GCC to do the inlining, and if this fails call the
__ieee754_sqrt function.  This is done by internally declaring sqrt with asm
redirects.  The compat symbols and sqrt wrappers need to disable the redirect.
The redirect is also disabled if there are already redirects defined when
using -ffinite-math-only.  The benchtests still use the libc internal headers
(which is incorrect), so update sqrt-inputs to use the external math.h so there
is no redirection.

All math functions (but not math tests, non-library code and libnldbl) are
built with -fno-math-errno which means GCC will typically inline sqrt as a
single instruction.  This means targets are no longer forced to add a special
inline for sqrt.

Tested using buildmanyglibc (13 most relevant variants since it keeps running
out of diskspace...)

ChangeLog:
2018-03-13  Wilco Dijkstra  <wdijkstr@arm.com>

        * include/math.h (sqrt): Declare with asm redirect.
        (sqrtf): Likewise.
        (sqrtl): Likewise.
        * benchtests/sqrt-inputs: Use correct math/math.h include.
        * Makeconfig: Add -fno-math-errno for libc/libm, but build testsuite,
        nonlib and libnldbl with -fmath-errno.
        * math/w_sqrt_compat.c: Define NO_MATH_REDIRECT.
        * math/w_sqrt_template.c: Likewise.
        * math/w_sqrtf_compat.c: Likewise.
        * math/w_sqrtl_compat.c: Likewise.
        * sysdeps/generic/math-type-macros-float128.h: Remove math.h and complex.h.
        * sysdeps/i386/fpu/w_sqrt.c: Likewise.

What variants exactly?

What execution testing have you done?  It would be a good idea for that to 
include at least one configuration where sqrt is not inlined by the 
compiler, and also to include 32-bit x86 to make sure the special-case 
wrappers there (to avoid double rounding) continue to work as expected.

Why is the benchtests/sqrt-inputs change needed?  I think it's correct for 
benchmark inputs to refer to the include name as in user code, not to the 
path within the glibc source tree, and certainly this test should not be 
doing things differently from all the others.

Please repost this patch series with ChangeLog entries updated to reflect 
the current patch contents so they don't confuse the review.  The 
ChangeLog entry for this patch fails to mention the sqrtf128 declaration 
in include/math.h.  The one for patch 2 includes changes to 
math/w_sqrt*_compat.c and sysdeps/aaarch64 files that aren't actually 
included in the patch.  The one for patch 3 suggests that only some parts 
of sysdeps/s390/fpu/bits/mathinline.h are removed, when actually that 
patch (correctly) removes the whole file.

Maybe we can agree on a useful subset in the script - the number of variants for
some ISAs is ridiculous, do we really need 24 variants for MIPS? I suppose we
can also remove tile and a few others like sh given the recent discussions of
obsoleting those ports?

I run on AArch64 and x64 when it is relevant. Finding a config that doesn't inline
sqrt may be difficult, since pretty much all ISAs have a sqrt instruction.

We build the testsuite explicitly with -fmath-errno so there will be calls to sqrt.
Given the include path is incorrect when running the testsuite (it uses internal
paths rather than external ones), we get redirection to __ieee754_sqrt which is
not exported outside of GLIBC. Since the include path issue is a separate bug
I just ensure the sqrt benchmark gets the right include - when it is fixed we can
easily change it back.

Btw we'll also need to create some real inputs and decide what we want to test:
the inlined sqrt instruction or the sqrt call in GLIBC (which will usually be the sqrt
instruction), or the sqrt emulation...

I'll fix the ChangeLogs shortly.

The point is to cover all ABIs supported by glibc (of which there are 24 
for MIPS), and then useful non-ABI variants that significantly affect the 
code that gets built.

If an architecture port is removed from glibc, the same commit removing it 
from glibc should of course remove it from build-many-glibcs.py.  If tile 
does get removed from the Linux kernel I think at that point we should 
remove it from glibc.  I'm not aware of any evidence that sh is going to 
be removed from the Linux kernel or any proposals to remove it from glibc 
(although it does need a maintainer in glibc).

Soft-float configurations (e.g. soft-float ARM) don't inline sqrt.

_ISOMAC should be defined for building the testsuite except for a few 
tests listed in tests-internal.  The include/ headers should, when _ISOMAC 
is defined, do nothing except include the corresponding public header 
(which is required so it gets found at all, since directories such as 
math/ contain the public headers but aren't in the include search path 
when building source files from other glibc subdirectories).

If the benchmarks are compiled without _ISOMAC being defined, that's the 
bug that should be fixed.  Changing them to use math/math.h is definitely 
wrong.

The benchmarks are supposed to test the function call in glibc (and thus 
use -fno-builtin).

Unfortunately it's not possible to define _ISOMAC since many tests actually require
internal headers, for example the string benchmarks often need inhibit_loop_to_libcall
which is defined only if _ISOMAC is not defined.

Defining _ISOMAC just for the math tests seems to work though, that looks like a
reasonable workaround for now.

At least some string tests do (string/test-string.h):

/* We are compiled under _ISOMAC, so libc-symbols.h does not do this
   for us.  */
#include "config.h"
#ifdef HAVE_CC_INHIBIT_LOOP_TO_LIBCALL
# define inhibit_loop_to_libcall \
    __attribute__ ((__optimize__ ("-fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns")))
#else
# define inhibit_loop_to_libcall
#endif

I'd expect string benchmarks to do similarly (possibly factoring this out 
to a separate header).  That's much better than building them without 
_ISOMAC and so getting *all* the internal header pieces.
