The TUNABLE_SET_VALUE and family of macros (and my later attempt to
add a TUNABLE_GET) never quite went together very well because the
overall interface was not clearly defined. This patch is an attempt
to do just that.
This patch consolidates the API to two simple sets of macros,
TUNABLE_GET* and TUNABLE_SET*. If TUNABLE_NAMESPACE is defined,
TUNABLE_GET takes just the tunable name, type and a (optionally NULL)
callback function to get the value of the tunable. The callback
function, if non-NULL, is called if the tunable was externally set
(i.e. via GLIBC_TUNABLES or any future mechanism). For example:
val = TUNABLE_GET (check, int32_t, check_callback)
returns the value of the glibc.malloc.check tunable (assuming
TUNABLE_NAMESPACE is set to malloc) as an int32_t into VAL after
calling check_callback.
Likewise, TUNABLE_SET can be used to set the value of the tunable,
although this is currently possible only in the dynamic linker before
it relocates itself. For example:
TUNABLE_SET (check, int32_t, 2)
will set glibc.malloc.check to 2. Of course, this is not possible
since we set (or read) glibc.malloc.check long after it is relocated.
To access or set a tunable outside of TUNABLE_NAMESPACE, use the
TUNABLE_GET_FULL and TUNABLE_SET_FULL macros, which have the following
prototype:
TUNABLE_GET_FULL (glibc, tune, hwcap_mask, uint64_t, NULL)
TUNABLE_SET_FULL (glibc, tune, hwcap_mask, uint64_t, 0xffff)
In future the tunable list may get split into mutable and immutable
tunables where mutable tunables can be modified by the library and
userspace after relocation as well and TUNABLE_SET will be more useful
than it currently is. However whenever we actually do that split, we
will have to ensure that the mutable tunables are protected with
locks.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
