While testing the exp function we noticed some errors at the specified
magnitude. Within this range the exp function returns the input value +1
as an output. We chose to run a test of 1m exponentially spaced values
in the ranges [-2^-27,-2^-32] and [2^-32,2^-27] which showed 7603 and
3912 results with an error of >=0.5 ULP (compared with MPFR in 128 bit)
with the highest being 0.56 ULP and 0.53 ULP.
It's easy to fix by changing the magnitude at which the input value +1
is returned from <2^-28 to <2^-32 and using the polynomial instead. This
reduces the number of results with an error of >=0.5 ULP to 485 and 479
in above tests, all of which are exactly 0.5 ULP.
As we were already checking on exp we also took a look at expf. For expf
the magnitude where the input value +1 is returned can be increased from
<2^-28 to <2^-23 without accuracy loss for a slight performance
improvement. To ensure this was the correct value we tested all values
in the ranges [-2^-17,-2^-28] and [2^-28,2^-17] (~92.3m values each).
Passing a pointer to a local variable to WriteConsoleA is
not actually needed if we're not going to do anything with
what WriteConsoleA would put in there.
For the wpbuf class the pointer argument was made optional,
so it can be just left out; other call places now pass a
NULL pointer instead. The local variables `wn' and `n'
are no unused, so they go away.
Replace direct access to a pair of co-dependent variables
by calls to methods of a class that encapsulates their relation.
Also replace C #define by C++ class constant.
The single-precision trigonometric functions show rather high errors in
specific ranges starting at about 30000 radians. For example the sinf
procedure produces an error of 7626.55 ULP with the input
5.195880078125e+04 (0x474AF6CD) (compared with MPFR in 128bit
precision). For the test we used 100k values evenly spaced in the range
of [30k, 70k]. The issues are periodic at higher ranges.
This error was introduced when the double precision range reduction was
first converted to float. The shift by 8 bits always returns 0 as iq is
never higher than 255.
The fix reduces the error of the example above to 0.45 ULP, highest
error within the test set fell to 1.31 ULP, which is not perfect, but
still a significant improvement. Testing other previously erroneous
ranges no longer show particularly large accuracy errors.
- In xterm compatible mode, "ESC 7" and "ESC 8" do not work properly
in the senario:
1) Execute /bin/ls /bin to fill screen.
2) Sned CSI?1049h to alternate screen.
3) Reduce window size.
4) Send CSI?1049l to resume screen.
5) Send "ESC 7" and "ESC 8".
After sending "ESC 8", the cursor goes to incorrect position. This
patch adds a workaround for this issue.
- This patch fixes the issue that xterm compatible mode for input
is not correctly set/unset in some situation such as:
1) cat is stopped by ctrl-c.
2) The window size is changed in less.
In case 1), request_xterm_mode_input(true) is called in read(),
however, cat is stopped without request_xterm_mode_input(false).
In case 2), less uses longjmp in signal handler, therefore,
corresponding request_xterm_mode_input(false) is not called if
the SIGWINCH signal is sent within read(). With this patch,
InterlockedExchange() is used instead of InterlockedIncrement/
Decrement().
So far ioctl(TIOCINQ) could end up returning -1 with errno set to EINVAL
if a non-zero device error mask has been returned by ClearCommError.
This doesn't reflect Linux behaviour, which always returns the number of
chars in the inbound queue, independent of any I/O error condition.
EINVAL was a pretty weird error code to use in this scenario, too.
Fix this by dropping all checking for device errors in the TIOCINQ
case. Just return the number of chars in the inbound queue.

fhandler_socket_unix::fixup_after_exec incorrectly calls
fhandler_socket_unix::fixup_after_fork with a NULL parent process
handle. Not only that calling DuplicateHandle with a NULL parent
handle fails, but it's utterly wrong trying to duplicate the handles
at all here.
Rather just set some important values to NULL and reopen the shared
memory region. Create a fixup_helper method to call common code from
fixup_after_fork and fixup_after_exec.
Add comments to other invocations of fixup_after_fork with NULL
handle to mark them as correct this way.

Replace the asm expression with the gcc function attribute
`force_align_arg_pointer'. This aligns the stack exactly as

Update dumper for bfd API changes in binutils 2.34

- In Win10 upto 1809, xterm compatible mode does not have REP
escape sequence which terminfo declares. This patch adds support
for "CSI Ps b" (REP). With this patch, bvi (binary editor) works
normally in Win10 1809. Also, xterm compatible mode does not have
"CSI Pm `" (HPA), "CSI Pm a" (HPR) and "CSI Ps e" (VPR). However,
they do not appear to be declared by terminfo. Therefore, these
have been pending.
- Cygwin console with xterm compatible mode causes problem reported
in https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2020-q1/msg00212.html
if background/foreground colors are set to gray/black respectively
in Win10 1903/1909. This is caused by "CSI Ps L" (IL), "CSI Ps M"
(DL) and "ESC M" (RI) control sequences which are broken. This
patch adds a workaround for the issue.
The helper function ttynam creates a tty name by using sprintf wrongly
on a pretty short buffer. The foramt string only specifies a minimum
field length, not a maximum field length, so gcc-9.2.0 complains:
ps.cc:101:23: warning: 'sprintf' may write a terminating nul past the
end of the destination [-Wformat-overflow=]
Fix this thoroughly by specifying a maximum field width as well as by
using snprintf with a fixed buffer length. Also, drop using a static
buffer in favor of using a buffer in the caller.

The variable returning the overrun count from the tracker object after
disarming the overrun counter was not correctly initialized. For some
reason this has only been noticed by gcc-9.2.0, not by the formerly used
gcc-7.4.0.
This problem should not have had any runtime impact. The method
timer_tracker::disarm_overrun_event is supposed to be called in
lock-step with timer_tracker::arm_overrun_event, which in turn
results in the variable getting a valid value.

linux 4.6 x86/cpu: Add advanced power management bits
Bit 11 of CPUID 8000_0007 edx is processor feedback interface.
Bit 12 of CPUID 8000_0007 edx is accumulated power.
Print proper names in /proc/cpuinfo
[missed enabling this 2016 change during previous major cpuinfo update
as no power related changes were made to the Linux files since then]
Having symlinks for these files led to an issue reported to the RTEMS
Project that showed up using some tar for native Windows to unpack the
newlib sources. It creates symlinks in the tar file as copies of the
files the symlinks point to. If the links appear in the tar file before
the source exists, it cannot copy the file.
The solution in this patch is to convert the files that are symbolic
links into simple files which include the file they were linked to.
This should be more portable and avoids the symbolinc link problem.
- Accessing shared_console_info before initialization causes access
violation because it is a NULL pointer. The cause of the problem
reported in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-02/msg00197.html is
this NULL pointer access in request_xterm_mode_output() when it is
called from close(). This patch makes sure that shared_console_info
is not NULL before calling request_xterm_mode_output().
Added in Linux 5.6:
Check FSRM and use REP MOVSB for short copies on systems that have it.
>From the Intel Optimization Reference Manual:
3.7.6.1 Fast Short REP MOVSB
Beginning with processors based on Ice Lake Client microarchitecture,
REP MOVSB performance is enhanced with string lengths up to 128 bytes.
Support for fast-short REP MOVSB is indicated by the CPUID feature flag:
CPUID [EAX=7H, ECX=0H).EDX.FAST_SHORT_REP_MOVSB[bit 4] = 1.
There is no change in the REP STOS performance.
A NUL byte in the output stream got accidentally not handled as IGN char
in xterm console mode. The internal mbtowc conversion doesn't handle
embedded NUL values gracefully, it always stops converting at NUL bytes.
This broke the output of strings with embedded NUL bytes.
Fix this by always skipping IGN chars in the "normal char output loop"
and make sure not to move the cursor one position to the right, as in
legacy console mode.

- If two cygwin programs are executed simultaneousley with pipes
in cmd.exe, xterm compatible mode is accidentally disabled by
the process which ends first. After that, escape sequences are
not handled correctly in the other app. This is the problem 2
reported in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-02/msg00116.html.
This patch fixes the issue. This patch also fixes the problem 3.
For these issues, the timing of setting and unsetting xterm
compatible mode is changed. For read, xterm compatible mode is
enabled only within read() or select() functions. For write, it
is enabled every time write() is called, and restored on close().
I think I may have encountered a bug in the implementation of pow:
pow(-1.0, NaN) returns 1.0 when it should return NaN.
Because ix is used to check input vs 1.0 rather than hx, -1.0 is
mistaken for 1.0
Previously, __internal_syscall() compiled into asm-code that unconditionally
sets the syscall argument registers a0 to a5.
For example, the instruction sequence for a exit syscall looked like
this:
li a0, 1 # in ther caller of exit()
# ... # in newlib:
li a1, 0 # unused arguments
li a2, 0
li a3, 0
li a4, 0
li a5, 0
li a7, 93 # exit syscall number
(i.e. the binary contains then 5 superfluous instructions for this
one argument syscall)
This commit changes the RISC-V syscall code such that only the required
syscall argument registers are set.
GCC detects that argc is known at compile time and thus evaluates all the
if-statements where argc is used at compile time (tested with -O2 and -Os).
