[PATCH] powerpc: Fix incorrect cache line size load in memset (bug 26332)

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix incorrect cache line size load in memset (bug 26332)

[Florian Weimer]

__GLRO loaded the word after the requested variable on big-endian
PowerPC, where LOWORD is 4.  This can cause the memset implement
go wrong because the masking with the cache line size produces
wrong results, particularly if the loaded value happens to be 1.

The __GLRO macro is not used in any place where loading the lower
32-bit word of a 64-bit value is desired, so the +4 offset is always
wrong.

Fixes commit 18363b4f010da9ba459b13310b113ac0647c2fcc
("powerpc: Move cache line size to rtld_global_ro") and bug 26332.

Agreed.

I reviewed sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/sysdep.h, and:
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/multiarch/init-arch.h
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/sysdep.h
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/memset.S
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/a2/memcpy.S

I see only 32-bit word accesses and so the +4 offset is wrong. This
was likely just a copy-and-paste that came from similar code which
accesses the 64-bit HWCAP/HWCAP2 e.g. uint64_t _dl_hwcap.

The 64-bit sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/sysdep.h is different and doesn't
have this problem for obvious reasons (it can load a 64-bit value).

OK.
