due to the interface requirement of having the full state contained in a single object of type unsigned int, it is difficult to provide a reasonable-quality implementation; most good PRNGs are immediately ruled out because they need larger state. the old rand_r gave very poor output (very short period) in its lower bits; normally, it's desirable to throw away the low bits (as in rand()) when using a LCG, but this is not possible since the state is only 32 bits and we need 31 bits of output. glibc's rand_r uses the same LCG as musl's, but runs it for 3 iterations and only takes 10-11 bits from each iteration to construct the output value. this partially fixes the period issue, but introduces bias: not all outputs have the same frequency, and many do not appear at all. with such a low period, the bias is likely to be observable. I tried many approaches to "fix" rand_r, and the simplest I found which made it pass the "dieharder" tests was applying this transformation to the output. the "temper" function is taken from mersenne twister, where it seems to have been chosen for some rigorous properties; here, the only formal property I'm using is that it's one-to-one and thus avoids introducing bias. should further deficiencies in rand_r be reported, the obvious "best" solution is applying a 32-bit cryptographic block cipher in CTR mode. I identified several possible ciphers that could be used directly or adapted, but as they would be a lot slower and larger, I do not see a justification for using them unless the current rand_r proves deficient for some real-world use.

arguably CLOCK_MONOTONIC should be redirected to CLOCK_BOOTTIME with a fallback for old kernels that don't support it, since Linux's CLOCK_BOOTTIME semantics seem to match the spirit of the POSIX requirements for CLOCK_MONOTONIC better than Linux's version of CLOCK_MONOTONIC does. however, this is a change that would require further discussion and research, so for now, I'm simply making them all available.

originally it was right on 32-bit archs and wrong on 64-bit, but after recent changes it was wrong everywhere. with this commit, it's now right everywhere.

apparently these features have been in Linux for a while now, so it makes sense to support them. the bit twiddling seems utterly illogical and wasteful, especially the negation, but that's how the kernel folks chose to encode pids/tids into the clock id.

this is a minor fix to increase the period of the obsolete rand_r a bit. an include header in __rand48_step.c is fixed as well.

some applications rely on the low bits of rand() to be reasonably good quality prng, so now it fixed by using the top bits of a 64 bit LCG, this is simple, has small state and passes statistical tests. D.E. Knuth attributes the multiplier to C.E. Haynes in TAOCP Vol2 3.3.4

they are intentionally listed after the libc include directory so that the gcc float.h, etc. don't get used in place of the libc ones.

this commit only covers the byte-based scanf-family functions. the wide functions still lack support for the 'm' modifier.
-
由 Rich Felker 提交于
this brings the wide version of the code into alignment with the byte-based version, in preparation for adding support for the m (malloc) modifier.

the concept here is that %s and %c are essentially special-cases of %[, with some minimal additional special-casing. aside from simplifying the code and reducing the number of complex code-paths that would need changing to make optimizations later, the main purpose of this change is to simplify addition of the 'm' modifier which causes scanf to allocate storage for the string being read.

failure to do so was causing crashes on x86_64 when ctors used SSE, which was first observed when ctors called variadic functions due to the SSE prologue code inserted into every variadic function.

previously we were using an unsigned type on 32-bit systems so that subtraction would be well-defined when it wrapped, but since wrapping is non-conforming anyway (when clock() overflows, it has to return -1) the only use of unsigned would be to buy a little bit more time before overflow. this does not seem worth having the type vary per-arch (which leads to more arch-specific bugs) or disagree with the ABI musl (mostly) follows.
-
由 Rich Felker 提交于
per Austin Group interpretation for issue #686, which cites the requirements of ISO C, clock() cannot wrap. if the result is not representable, it must return (clock_t)-1. in addition, the old code was performing wrapping via signed overflow and thus invoking undefined behavior. since it seems impossible to accurately check for overflow with the old times()-based fallback code, I have simply dropped the fallback code for now, thus always returning -1 on ancient systems. if there's a demand for making it work and somebody comes up with a way, it could be reinstated, but the clock() function is essentially useless on 32-bit system anyway (it overflows in less than an hour). it should be noted that I used LONG_MAX rather than ULONG_MAX, despite 32-bit archs using an unsigned type for clock_t. this discrepency with the glibc/LSB type definitions will be fixed now; since wrapping of clock_t is no longer supported, there's no use in it being unsigned.

The underflow exception is not raised correctly in some cornercases (see previous fma commit), added comments with examples for fmaf, fmal and non-x86 fma. In fmaf store the result before returning so it has the correct precision when FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0

1) in downward rounding fma(1,1,-1) should be -0 but it was 0 with gcc, the code was correct but gcc does not support FENV_ACCESS ON so it used common subexpression elimination where it shouldn't have. now volatile memory access is used as a barrier after fesetround. 2) in directed rounding modes there is no double rounding issue so the complicated adjustments done for nearest rounding mode are not needed. the only exception to this rule is raising the underflow flag: assume "small" is an exactly representible subnormal value in double precision and "verysmall" is a much smaller value so that (long double)(small plus verysmall) == small then (double)(small plus verysmall) raises underflow because the result is an inexact subnormal, but (double)(long double)(small plus verysmall) does not because small is not a subnormal in long double precision and it is exact in double precision. now this problem is fixed by checking inexact using fenv when the result is subnormal

* use unsigned arithmetics * use unsigned to store arg reduction quotient (so n&3 is understood) * remove z=0.0 variables, use literal 0 * raise underflow and inexact exceptions properly when x is small * fix spurious underflow in tanl

patch by Strake. previously is was not feasible to duplicate this functionality of the functions these were modeled on, since argv[0] was not saved at program startup, but now that it's available it's easy to use.

由 Szabolcs Nagy 提交于
* use unsigned arithmetics on the representation * store arg reduction quotient in unsigned (so n%2 would work like n&1) * use different convention to pass the arg reduction bit to __tan (this argument used to be 1 for even and -1 for odd reduction which meant obscure bithacks, the new n&1 is cleaner) * raise inexact and underflow flags correctly for small x (tanl(x) may still raise spurious underflow for small but normal x) (this exception raising code increases codesize a bit, similar fixes are needed in many other places, it may worth investigating at some point if the inexact and underflow flags are worth raising correctly as this is not strictly required by the standard) * tanf manual reduction optimization is kept for now * tanl code path is cleaned up to follow similar logic to tan and tanf

there was some question as to how many decimal places to use, since one decimal place is always sufficient to identify the smallest denormal uniquely. for now, I'm following the example in the C standard which is consistent with the other min/max macros we already had in place.

somehow I missed this when removing the corresponding __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS and __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS nonsense from stdint.h. these were all attempts by the C committee to guess what the C++ committee would want, and the guesses turned out to be wrong.

support for these was recently added to sysmacros.h. note that the syscall argument is a long, despite dev_t being 64-bit, so on 32-bit archs the high bits will be lost. it appears the high bits are just glibc silliness and not part of the kernel api, anyway, but it's nice that we have them there for future expansion if needed.

When FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 (only i386 with x87 fp) the excess precision of an expression must be removed in an assignment. (gcc needs -fexcess-precision=standard or -std=c99 for this) This is done by extra load/store instructions which adds code bloat when lot of temporaries are used and it makes the result less precise in many cases. Using double_t and float_t avoids these issues on i386 and it makes no difference on other archs. For now only a few functions are modified where the excess precision is clearly beneficial (mostly polynomial evaluations with temporaries). object size differences on i386, gcc-4.8: old new __cosdf.o 123 95 __cos.o 199 169 __sindf.o 131 95 __sin.o 225 203 __tandf.o 207 151 __tan.o 605 499 erff.o 1470 1416 erf.o 1703 1649 j0f.o 1779 1745 j0.o 2308 2274 j1f.o 1602 1568 j1.o 2286 2252 tgamma.o 1431 1424 math/*.o 64164 63635

__FLOAT_BITS and __DOUBLE_BITS macros used union compound literals, now they are changed into static inline functions. A good C compiler generates the same code for both and the later is C++ conformant.

since CLOCKS_PER_SEC is 1000000 (required by XSI) and the times syscall reports values in 1/100 second units (Linux), the correct scaling factor is 10000, not 100. note that only ancient kernels which lack clock_gettime are affected.

all return values are valid, and on 32-bit systems, values that look like errors can and will occur. since the only actual error this function could return is EFAULT, and it is only returnable when the application has invoked undefined behavior, simply ignore the possibility that the return value is actually an error code.

there are several reasons for this change. one is getting rid of the repetition of the syscall signature all over the place. another is sharing the constant masks without costly GOT accesses in PIC. the main motivation, however, is accurately representing whether we want to block signals that might be handled by the application, or all signals.

use __syscall rather than syscall when failure is not possible or not to be considered.
