Subject: [PATCH] Add GLIBC_IFUNC to control IFUNC selection
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_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.
Since all CPU/ARCH features are hardware optimizations without security
implication, except for Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC, which can only be disabled,
we check GLIBC_IFUNC for programs, including set*id ones.
NOTE: the IFUNC selection may change over time. Please check all
multiarch implementations when experimenting.
* sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h (dl_platform_init): Pass the
array of environment strings to init_cpu_features.
* sysdeps/x86/libc-start.c (__libc_start_main): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (equal): New function.
(CHECK_GLIBC_IFUNC_CPU_OFF): New macro.
(CHECK_GLIBC_IFUNC_ARCH_OFF): Likewise.
(CHECK_GLIBC_IFUNC_ARCH_NEED_ARCH_BOTH): Likewise.
(CHECK_GLIBC_IFUNC_ARCH_NEED_CPU_BOTH): Likewise.
(init_cpu_features): Updated to take the array of environment
strings. Process GLIBC_IFUNC environment variable.
