This commit adds a new implementation for EVEX memchr that is not safe
for RTM because it uses vzeroupper. The benefit is that by using
ymm0-ymm15 it can use vpcmpeq and vpternlogd in the 4x loop which is
faster than the RTM safe version which cannot use vpcmpeq because
there is no EVEX encoding for the instruction. All parts of the
implementation aside from the 4x loop are the same for the two
versions and the optimization is only relevant for large sizes.

Since all feature checks are done through macros, programs compiled with
a newer <sys/platform/x86.h> are compatible with the older glibc binaries
as long as the layout of struct cpu_features is identical. The features
array can be expanded with backward binary compatibility for both .o and
.so files. When COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX is increased to support new
processor features, __x86_get_cpu_features in the older glibc binaries
returns NULL and HAS_CPU_FEATURE/CPU_FEATURE_USABLE return false on the
new processor feature. No new symbol version is neeeded.
Both CPU_FEATURE_USABLE and HAS_CPU_FEATURE are provided. HAS_CPU_FEATURE
can be used to identify processor features.
Note: Although GCC has __builtin_cpu_supports, it only supports a subset
of <sys/platform/x86.h> and it is equivalent to CPU_FEATURE_USABLE. It
doesn't support HAS_CPU_FEATURE.

Optimize strlen/strnlen/wcslen/wcsnlen with AVX2 to check 32 bytes with
a single vector compare instruction. It is as fast as SSE2 versions for
size <= 16 bytes and up to 1X faster for or size > 16 bytes on Haswell.
Select AVX2 version on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper is preferred and

Optimize x86-64 memcmp/wmemcmp with AVX2. It uses vector compare as
much as possible. It is as fast as SSE4 memcmp for size <= 16 bytes
and up to 2X faster for size > 16 bytes on Haswell and Skylake. Select
AVX2 memcmp/wmemcmp on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper is preferred and
AVX unaligned load is fast.
NB: It uses TZCNT instead of BSF since TZCNT produces the same result
as BSF for non-zero input. TZCNT is faster than BSF and is executed
as BSF if machine doesn't support TZCNT.
Key features:
1. For size from 2 to 7 bytes, load as big endian with movbe and bswap
to avoid branches.
2. Use overlapping compare to avoid branch.
3. Use vector compare when size >= 4 bytes for memcmp or size >= 8
bytes for wmemcmp.
4. If size is 8 * VEC_SIZE or less, unroll the loop.
5. Compare 4 * VEC_SIZE at a time with the aligned first memory area.
6. Use 2 vector compares when size is 2 * VEC_SIZE or less.
7. Use 4 vector compares when size is 4 * VEC_SIZE or less.
8. Use 8 vector compares when size is 8 * VEC_SIZE or less.

preferred.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/wmemcmp.S: Use __wmemcmp_avx2 on AVX
2 machines if AVX unaligned load is fast and vzeroupper is
preferred.
Since the new SSE2/AVX2 memcpy/memmove are faster than the previous ones,
we can remove the previous SSE2/AVX2 memcpy/memmove and replace them with
the new ones.
No change in IFUNC selection if SSE2 and AVX2 memcpy/memmove weren't used
before. If SSE2 or AVX2 memcpy/memmove were used, the new SSE2 or AVX2
memcpy/memmove optimized with Enhanced REP MOVSB will be used for
processors with ERMS. The new AVX512 memcpy/memmove will be used for
processors with AVX512 which prefer vzeroupper.
Since the new SSE2 memcpy/memmove are faster than the previous default
memcpy/memmove used in libc.a and ld.so, we also remove the previous
default memcpy/memmove and make them the default memcpy/memmove, except
that non-temporal store isn't used in ld.so.
Together, it reduces the size of libc.so by about 6 KB and the size of
ld.so by about 2 KB.

Implement x86-64 memset with unaligned store and rep movsb. Support

times of vector register size and REP_STOSB_THRESHOLD which defaults

Implement x86-64 memmove with unaligned load/store and rep movsb.
Support 16-byte, 32-byte and 64-byte vector register sizes. When
size <= 8 times of vector register size, there is no check for
address overlap bewteen source and destination. Since overhead for
overlap check is small when size > 8 times of vector register size,
memcpy is an alias of memmove.
A single file provides 2 implementations of memmove, one with rep movsb
and the other without rep movsb. They share the same codes when size is
between 2 times of vector register size and REP_MOVSB_THRESHOLD which
is 2KB for 16-byte vector register size and scaled up by large vector
register size.
Key features:
1. Use overlapping load and store to avoid branch.
2. For size <= 8 times of vector register size, load all sources into
registers and store them together.
3. If there is no address overlap bewteen source and destination, copy
from both ends with 4 times of vector register size at a time.
4. If address of destination > address of source, backward copy 8 times
of vector register size at a time.
5. Otherwise, forward copy 8 times of vector register size at a time.
6. Use rep movsb only for forward copy. Avoid slow backward rep movsb
by fallbacking to backward copy 8 times of vector register size at a
time.
7. Skip when address of destination == address of source.

In this patch we take advantage of HSW memory bandwidth, manage to
reduce miss branch prediction by avoiding using branch instructions and
force destination to be aligned with avx instruction.

from 2% to 10%.
* config.h.in (HAVE_AVX2_SUPPORT): New #undef.
* sysdeps/i386/configure.ac: Set HAVE_AVX2_SUPPORT and
config-cflags-avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/configure.ac: Likewise.
* sysdeps/i386/configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/x86_64/configure: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
memset-avx2 only if config-cflags-avx2 is yes.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c (__libc_ifunc_impl_list):
Tests for memset_chk and memset only if HAVE_AVX2_SUPPORT is
defined.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset.S: Define multiple versions
only if HAVE_AVX2_SUPPORT is defined.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset_chk.S: Likewise.
In this patch we take advantage of HSW memory bandwidth, manage to
reduce miss branch prediction by avoiding using branch instructions and
force destination to be aligned with avx & avx2 instruction.
The CPU2006 403.gcc benchmark indicates this patch improves performance
from 26% to 59%.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile: Add memset-avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset-avx2.S: New file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset_chk.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/rtld-memset.S: Likewise.
A sse42 version of strstr used pcmpistr instruction which is quite
ineffective. A faster way is look for pairs of characters which is uses
sse2, is faster than pcmpistr and for real strings a pairs we look for
are relatively rare.
For linear time complexity we use buy or rent technique which switches
to two-way algorithm when superlinear behaviour is detected.
We add new memcpy version that uses unaligned loads which are fast
on modern processors. This allows second improvement which is avoiding
computed jump which is relatively expensive operation.
