This patch enables SSE2 memset for AMD's upcoming Orochi processor.
This patch also fixes the following bug:
For misaligned blocks larger than > 144 Bytes, memset branches into
the integer code path depending on the value of misalignment even if
the startup code chooses the SSE2 code path upfront, when multiarch
is enabled.
This patch includes optimized 64bit memcpy/memmove for Atom, Core 2 and
Core i7. It improves memcpy by up to 3X on Atom, up to 4X on Core 2 and
up to 1X on Core i7. It also improves memmove by up to 3X on Atom, up to
4X on Core 2 and up to 2X on Core i7.
This patch adds multiarch support when configured for i686. I modified
some x86-64 functions to support 32bit. I will contribute 32bit SSE string
and memory functions later.
We use a callback function into libc.so to get access to the data
structure with the information and have special versions of the test
macros which automatically use this function.
There will be more than one function which, in multiarch mode, wants
to use SSSE3. We should not test in each of them for Atoms with
slow SSSE3. Instead, disable the SSSE3 bit in the startup code for
such machines.
SO far Intel and AMD use exactly the same bits meaning the same
things in CPUID index 1. Simplify the code. Should an architecture
come along which doesn't use the same semantics then it must use a
different index value than COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_1.
