In _dl_runtime_resolve, use fxsave/xsave/xsavec to preserve all vector,
mask and bound registers. It simplifies _dl_runtime_resolve and supports
different calling conventions. ld.so code size is reduced by more than
1 KB. However, use fxsave/xsave/xsavec takes a little bit more cycles
than saving and restoring vector and bound registers individually.
Latency for _dl_runtime_resolve to lookup the function, foo, from one
shared library plus libc.so:
Before After Change
Westmere (SSE)/fxsave 345 866 151%
IvyBridge (AVX)/xsave 420 643 53%
Haswell (AVX)/xsave 713 1252 75%
Skylake (AVX+MPX)/xsavec 559 719 28%
Skylake (AVX512+MPX)/xsavec 145 272 87%
Ryzen (AVX)/xsavec 280 553 97%
This is the worst case where portion of time spent for saving and
restoring registers is bigger than majority of cases. With smaller
_dl_runtime_resolve code size, overall performance impact is negligible.
On IvyBridge, differences in build and test time of binutils with lazy
binding GCC and binutils are noises. On Westmere, differences in
bootstrap and "makc check" time of GCC 7 with lazy binding GCC and
binutils are also noises.

The current IFUNC selection is based on microbenchmarks in glibc. It
should give the best performance for most workloads. But other choices
may have better performance for a particular workload or on the hardware
which wasn't available at the selection was made. The environment
variable, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.ifunc=-xxx,yyy,-zzz...., can be used
to enable CPU/ARCH feature yyy, disable CPU/ARCH feature yyy and zzz,
where the feature name is case-sensitive and has to match the ones in
cpu-features.h. It can be used by glibc developers to override the
IFUNC selection to tune for a new processor or improve performance for
a particular workload. It isn't intended for normal end users.
NOTE: the IFUNC selection may change over time. Please check all
multiarch implementations when experimenting.
Also, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold=NUMBER is

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.

dl_platform and dl_hwcap are set from AT_PLATFORM and AT_HWCAP very
early during startup. They are used by dynamic linker to determine
platform and build an array of hardware capability names, which are
added to search path when loading shared object. dl_platform and
dl_hwcap are unused on x86-64. On i386, i386, i486, i586 and i686
platforms were supported and only SSE2 capability was used.
On x86, usage of AT_PLATFORM and AT_HWCAP to determine platform and
processor capabilities is obsolete since all information is available
in dl_x86_cpu_features. This patch sets dl_platform and dl_hwcap from
dl_x86_cpu_features in dynamic linker. On i386, the available plaforms
are changed to i586 and i686 since i386 has been deprecated. On x86-64,
the available plaforms are haswell, which is for Haswell class processors
with BMI1, BMI2, LZCNT, MOVBE, POPCNT, AVX2 and FMA, and xeon_phi, which
is for Xeon Phi class processors with AVX512F, AVX512CD, AVX512ER and
AVX512PF. A capability, avx512_1, is also added to x86-64 for AVX512
ISAs: AVX512F, AVX512CD, AVX512BW, AVX512DQ and AVX512VL.

On Skylake server, AVX512 load/store instructions in memcpy/memset may
lead to lower CPU turbo frequency in certain situations. Use of AVX2
in memcpy/memset has been observed to have improved overall performance
in many workloads due to the higher frequency.
Since AVX512ER is unique to Xeon Phi, this patch sets Prefer_No_AVX512
if AVX512ER isn't available so that AVX2 versions of memcpy/memset are
used on Skylake server.

There is transition penalty when SSE instructions are mixed with 256-bit
AVX or 512-bit AVX512 load instructions. Since _dl_runtime_resolve_avx
and _dl_runtime_profile_avx512 save/restore 256-bit YMM/512-bit ZMM
registers, there is transition penalty when SSE instructions are used
with lazy binding on AVX and AVX512 processors.
To avoid SSE transition penalty, if only the lower 128 bits of the first
8 vector registers are non-zero, we can preserve %xmm0 - %xmm7 registers
with the zero upper bits.
For AVX and AVX512 processors which support XGETBV with ECX == 1, we can
use XGETBV with ECX == 1 to check if the upper 128 bits of YMM registers
or the upper 256 bits of ZMM registers are zero. We can restore only the
non-zero portion of vector registers with AVX/AVX512 load instructions
which will zero-extend upper bits of vector registers.
This patch adds _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex which saves and restores
XMM registers with 128-bit AVX store/load instructions. It is used to
preserve YMM/ZMM registers when only the lower 128 bits are non-zero.
_dl_runtime_resolve_avx_opt and _dl_runtime_resolve_avx512_opt are added
and used on AVX/AVX512 processors supporting XGETBV with ECX == 1 so
that we store and load only the non-zero portion of vector registers.
This avoids SSE transition penalty caused by _dl_runtime_resolve_avx and
_dl_runtime_profile_avx512 when only the lower 128 bits of vector
registers are used.
_dl_runtime_resolve_avx_slow is added and used for AVX processors which
don't support XGETBV with ECX == 1. Since there is no SSE transition
penalty on AVX512 processors which don't support XGETBV with ECX == 1,
_dl_runtime_resolve_avx512_slow isn't provided.

According to Silvermont software optimization guide, for 64-bit
applications, branch prediction performance can be negatively impacted
when the target of a branch is more than 4GB away from the branch. Add
the Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC bit so that mmap will try to map executable
pages with MAP_32BIT first. NB: MAP_32BIT will map to lower 2GB, not
lower 4GB, address. Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC reduces bits available for
address space layout randomization (ASLR), which is always disabled for
SUID programs and can only be enabled by setting environment variable,
LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC.
On Fedora 23, this patch speeds up GCC 5 testsuite by 3% on Silvermont.

We detect i586 and i686 features at run-time by checking CX8 and CMOV
CPUID features bits. We can use these information to select the best
implementation in ix86 multiarch. HAS_I586/HAS_I686 is true if i586/i686
instructions are available on the processor.
Due to the reordering and the other nifty extensions in i686, it is not
really good to use heavily i586 optimized code on an i686. It's better
to use i486 code if it isn't an i586. USE_I586/USE_I686 is true if
i586/i686 implementation should be used for the processor. USE_I586
is true only if i686 instructions aren't available. If i686 instructions
are available, we always choose i686 or i486 implementation, in that order,
and we never choose i586 implementation for i686-class processors.
