Commit Message

Adhemerval Zanella March 29, 2019, 1:35 p.m. UTC
This patch removes the POWER4 optimized mpa optimization used for power4+
build.  For newer chips, GCC generates *worse* code than generic
implementation as benchmaks result below.  One possibilty would to add
IFUNC variants for the mpa routines (as x86_64), but it will add complexity
only for older chips (and one would need to check if power5, power5+, and
power6 do benefict from this optimization), and only for specific
implementation (since most used ones such as sin, cos, exp, pow already
avoid calling the slow multiprecision path).

I don't think I have access to POWER4 hardware, but when running
power4-targeted builds on newer processors, I saw no performance
degradation even in that scenario.

I don't think it's worth the effort.

Thanks for the thorough checking.

Looks good to me.

My guess is the optimization was trying to overcome some compiler
missed optimization (POWER4 was released at same time as GCC 3.2.3
and mostly likely distributions were using even older releases to
build system libc).

Agreed.
