The current IFUNC selection is based on microbenchmarks in glibc. It should give the best performance for most workloads. But other choices may have better performance for a particular workload or on the hardware which wasn't available at the selection was made. The environment variable, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.ifunc=-xxx,yyy,-zzz...., can be used to enable CPU/ARCH feature yyy, disable CPU/ARCH feature yyy and zzz, where the feature name is case-sensitive and has to match the ones in cpu-features.h. It can be used by glibc developers to override the IFUNC selection to tune for a new processor or improve performance for a particular workload. It isn't intended for normal end users. NOTE: the IFUNC selection may change over time. Please check all multiarch implementations when experimenting. Also, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold=NUMBER is provided to set threshold to use non temporal store to NUMBER, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_data_cache_size=NUMBER to set data cache size, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_shared_cache_size=NUMBER to set shared cache size. * elf/dl-tunables.list (tune): Add ifunc, x86_non_temporal_threshold, x86_data_cache_size and x86_shared_cache_size. * manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.ifunc, glibc.tune.x86_data_cache_size, glibc.tune.x86_shared_cache_size and glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/dl-sysdep.c: New file. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-tunables.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86/cacheinfo.c (init_cacheinfo): Check and get data cache size, shared cache size and non temporal threshold from cpu_features. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c [HAVE_TUNABLES] (TUNABLE_NAMESPACE): New. [HAVE_TUNABLES] Include <unistd.h>. [HAVE_TUNABLES] Include <elf/dl-tunables.h>. [HAVE_TUNABLES] (TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_ifunc)): Likewise. [HAVE_TUNABLES] (init_cpu_features): Use TUNABLE_GET to set IFUNC selection, data cache size, shared cache size and non temporal threshold. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (cpu_features): Add data_cache_size, shared_cache_size and non_temporal_threshold. |

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
