arm: Use _dl_find_object on __gnu_Unwind_Find_exidx (BZ 31405)
Instead of __dl_iterate_phdr. On ARM dlfo_eh_frame/dlfo_eh_count
maps to PT_ARM_EXIDX vaddr start / length.
On a Neoverse N1 machine with 160 cores, the following program:
$ cat test.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <assert.h>
enum {
niter = 1024,
ntimes = 128,
};
static void *
tf (void *arg)
{
int a = (int) arg;
for (int i = 0; i < niter; i++)
{
void *p[ntimes];
for (int j = 0; j < ntimes; j++)
p[j] = malloc (a * 128);
for (int j = 0; j < ntimes; j++)
free (p[j]);
}
return NULL;
}
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
enum { nthreads = 16 };
pthread_t t[nthreads];
for (int i = 0; i < nthreads; i ++)
assert (pthread_create (&t[i], NULL, tf, (void *) i) == 0);
for (int i = 0; i < nthreads; i++)
{
void *r;
assert (pthread_join (t[i], &r) == 0);
assert (r == NULL);
}
return 0;
}
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -fsanitize=address test.c -o test
Improves from ~15s to 0.5s.
Checked on arm-linux-gnueabihf.
