<title>Remove support for lock elision.</title>

<id>b9579342c68baf0beacfb4e93b9a6a325d3f9527</id>
<content type='text'>
The support for lock elision was already deprecated with glibc 2.42:
commit 77438db8cfa6ee66b3906230156bdae11c49a195
"Mark support for lock elision as deprecated."
See also discussions:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2025-July/168492.html

This patch removes the architecture specific support for lock elision
for x86, powerpc and s390 by removing the elision-conf.h, elision-conf.c,
elision-lock.c, elision-timed.c, elision-unlock.c, elide.h, htm.h/hle.h files.
Those generic files are also removed.

The architecture specific structures are adjusted and the elision fields are
marked as unused.  See struct_mutex.h files.
Furthermore in struct_rwlock.h, the leftover __rwelision was also removed.
Those were originally removed with commit 0377a7fde6dfcc078dda29a1225d7720a0931357
"nptl: Remove rwlock elision definitions"
and by chance reintroduced with commit 7df8af43ad1cd8ce527444de50bee6f35eebe071
"nptl: Add struct_rwlock.h"

The common code (e.g. the pthread_mutex-files) are changed back to the time
before lock elision was introduced with the x86-support:
- commit 1cdbe579482c07e9f4bb3baa4864da2d3e7eb837
"Add the low level infrastructure for pthreads lock elision with TSX"
- commit b023e4ca99f5e81f90d87d23cd267ef2abd2388c
"Add new internal mutex type flags for elision."
- commit 68cc29355f3334c7ad18f648ff9a6383a0916d23
"Add minimal test suite changes for elision enabled kernels"
- commit e8c659d74e011346785355eeef03b7fb6f533c61
"Add elision to pthread_mutex_{try,timed,un}lock"
- commit 49186d21ef2d87986bccaf0a7c45c48c91b265f3
"Disable elision for any pthread_mutexattr_settype call"
- commit 1717da59aed9612becd56aaa1249aac695af4c8a
"Add a configure option to enable lock elision and disable by default"

Elision is removed also from the tunables, the initialization part, the
pretty-printers and the manual.

Some extra handling in the testsuite is removed as well as the full tst-mutex10
testcase, which tested a race while enabling lock elision.

I've also searched the code for "elision", "elide", "transaction" and e.g.
cleaned some comments.

I've run the testsuite on x86_64 and s390x and run the build-many-glibcs.py
script.
Thanks to Sachin Monga, this patch is also tested on powerpc.

A NEWS entry also mentions the removal.

<title>linux/termios: clear k_termios.c_cflag &amp; CIBAUD for non-split speed [BZ 33340]</title>

<id>8d999a6993611d375adc9efc5369c7bb7963b716</id>
<content type='text'>
After getting more experience with the various broken direct-to-ioctl
termios2 hacks using Fedora 43 beta, I have found a fair number of
cases where the software would fail to set, or clear CIBAUD for
non-split-speed operation.

Thus it seems will help improve compatibility to clear the kernel-side
version of c_cflag &amp; CIBAUD (having the same meaning to the Linux
kernel as the speed 0 has for cfsetibaud(), i.e. force the input speed
to equal the output speed) for non-split-speed operation, rather than
having it explicitly equal the output speed in CBAUD.

When writing the code that went into glibc 2.42 I had considered this
issue, and had to make an educated guess which way would be more
likely to break fewer things.  Unfortunately, it appears I guessed
wrong.

A third option would be to *always* set CIBAUD to __BOTHER, even for
the standard baud rates.  However, that is an even bigger departure
from legacy behavior, whereas this variant mostly preserves current
behavior in terms of under what conditions buggy utilities will
continue to work.

This change is in tcsetattr() rather than
___termios2_canonicalize_speeds(), as it should not be run for
tcgetattr(); that would break split speed support for the legacy
interface versions of cfgetispeed() and cfsetispeed().

<title>math: Don't redirect inlined builtin math functions</title>

<content type='text'>
When we want to inline builtin math functions, like truncf, for

  extern float truncf (float __x) __attribute__ ((__nothrow__ )) __attribute__ ((__const__));
  extern float __truncf (float __x) __attribute__ ((__nothrow__ )) __attribute__ ((__const__));

  float (truncf) (float) asm ("__truncf");

compiler may redirect truncf calls to __truncf, instead of inlining it
(for instance, clang).  The USE_TRUNCF_BUILTIN is 1 to indicate that
truncf should be inlined.  In this case, we don't want the truncf
redirection:

  1. For each math function which may be inlined, we define

  #if USE_TRUNCF_BUILTIN
   # define NO_truncf_BUILTIN inline_truncf
   #else
   # define NO_truncf_BUILTIN truncf
   #endif

in &lt;math-use-builtins.h&gt;.

  2. Include &lt;math-use-builtins.h&gt; in include/math.h.

  3. Change MATH_REDIRECT to

   #define MATH_REDIRECT(FUNC, PREFIX, ARGS)		\
    float (NO_ ## FUNC ## f ## _BUILTIN) (ARGS (float))	\
      asm (PREFIX #FUNC "f");

With this change If USE_TRUNCF_BUILTIN is 0, we get

  float (truncf) (float) asm ("__truncf");
  truncf will be redirected to __truncf.

And for USE_TRUNCF_BUILTIN 1, we get:

  float (inline_truncf) (float) asm ("__truncf");

In both cases either truncf will be inlined or the internal alias
(__truncf) will be called.

It is not required for all math-use-builtin symbol, only the one
defined in math.h.  It also allows to remove all the math-use-builtin
inclusion, since it is now implicitly included by math.h.

For MIPS, some math-use-builtin headers include sysdep.h and this
in turn includes a lot of extra headers that do not allow ldbl-128
code to override alias definition (math.h will include
some stdlib.h definition).  The math-use-builtin only requires
the __mips_isa_rev, so move the defintion to sgidefs.h.
