Different systems prefer a different divisors.
From benchmarks[1] so far the following divisors have been found:
ICX : 2
SKX : 2
BWD : 8
For Intel, we are generalizing that BWD and older prefers 8 as a
divisor, and SKL and newer prefers 2. This number can be further tuned
as benchmarks are run.

The SSBD feature is implemented in 2 different ways on AMD processors:
newer systems (Zen3) provides AMD_SSBD (function 8000_0008, EBX[24]),
while older system provides AMD_VIRT_SSBD (function 8000_0008, EBX[25]).
However for AMD_VIRT_SSBD, kernel shows both 'ssdb' and 'virt_ssdb' on
/proc/cpuinfo; while for AMD_SSBD only 'ssdb' is provided.
This now check is AMD_SSBD is set to check for 'ssbd', otherwise check
if AMD_VIRT_SSDB is set to check for 'virt_ssbd'.

* Intel TSX will be disabled by default.

transactions by default.
* A new CPUID bit CPUID.07H.0H.EDX[11](RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT) will be enumerated,
which is set to indicate to updated software that the loaded microcode is

AMD define different flags for IRPB, IBRS, and STIPBP [1], so new
x86_64_cpu are added and IBRS_IBPB is only tested for Intel.
The SSDB is also defined and implemented different on AMD [2],
and also a new AMD_SSDB flag is added. It should map to the
cpuinfo 'ssdb' on recent AMD cpus.
It fixes tst-cpu-features-cpuinfo and tst-cpu-features-cpuinfo-static

In the process of optimizing memcpy for AMD machines, we have found the
vector move operations are outperforming enhanced REP MOVSB for data
transfers above the L2 cache size on Zen3 architectures.
To handle this use case, we are adding an upper bound parameter on
enhanced REP MOVSB:'__x86_rep_movsb_stop_threshold'.
As per large-bench results, we are configuring this parameter to the
L2 cache size for AMD machines and applicable from Zen3 architecture
supporting the ERMS feature.
For architectures other than AMD, it is the computed value of
non-temporal threshold parameter.

In <sys/platform/x86.h>, define CPU features as enum instead of using
the C preprocessor magic to make it easier to wrap this functionality
in other languages. Move the C preprocessor magic to internal header
for better GCC codegen when more than one features are checked in a
single expression as in x86-64 dl-hwcaps-subdirs.c.
1. Rename COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_XXX to CPUID_INDEX_XXX.
2. Move CPUID_INDEX_MAX to sysdeps/x86/include/cpu-features.h.
3. Remove struct cpu_features and __x86_get_cpu_features from
<sys/platform/x86.h>.
4. Add __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf to <sys/platform/x86.h> and put it
in libc.
5. Make __get_cpu_features() private to glibc.
6. Replace __x86_get_cpu_features(N) with __get_cpu_features().
7. Add _dl_x86_get_cpu_features to GLIBC_PRIVATE.
8. Use a single enum index for each CPU feature detection.
9. Pass the CPUID feature leaf to __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf.
10. Return zero struct cpuid_feature for the older glibc binary with a
smaller CPUID_INDEX_MAX [BZ #27104].
11. Inside glibc, use the C preprocessor magic so that cpu_features data
can be loaded just once leading to more compact code for glibc.
256 bits are used for each CPUID leaf. Some leaves only contain a few
features. We can add exceptions to such leaves. But it will increase
code sizes and it is harder to provide backward/forward compatibilities
when new features are added to such leaves in the future.
When new leaves are added, _rtld_global_ro offsets will change which
leads to race condition during in-place updates. We may avoid in-place
updates by
1. Rename the old glibc.
2. Install the new glibc.
3. Remove the old glibc.
NB: A function, __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf , is used to avoid the copy
relocation issue with IFUNC resolver as shown in IFUNC resolver tests.
1. Move x86 processor cache info to _dl_x86_cpu_features in ld.so.
2. Update tunable bounds with TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS.
3. Move x86 cache info initialization to dl-cacheinfo.h and initialize
x86 cache info in init_cpu_features ().
4. Put x86 cache info for libc in cacheinfo.h, which is included in

x86: Support GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234] marker
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_NEEDED property in x86 ELF binaries indicate the
micro-architecture ISA level required to execute the binary. The marker
must be added by programmers explicitly in one of 3 ways:
1. Pass -mneeded to GCC.
2. Add the marker in the linker inputs as this patch does.
3. Pass -z x86-64-v[234] to the linker.
Add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_BASELINE and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234]
marker support to ld.so if binutils 2.32 or newer is used to build glibc:
1. Add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_BASELINE and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234]
markers to elf.h.
2. Add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_BASELINE and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234]
marker to abi-note.o based on the ISA level used to compile abi-note.o,
assuming that the same ISA level is used to compile the whole glibc.
3. Add isa_1 to cpu_features to record the supported x86 ISA level.
4. Rename _dl_process_cet_property_note to _dl_process_property_note and
add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234] marker detection.
5. Update _rtld_main_check and _dl_open_check to check loaded objects
with the incompatible ISA level.
6. Add a testcase to verify that dlopen an x86-64-v4 shared object fails
on lesser platforms.
7. Use <get-isa-level.h> in dl-hwcaps-subdirs.c and tst-glibc-hwcaps.c.

I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c

X86 CPU features in ld.so are initialized by init_cpu_features, which is
invoked by DL_PLATFORM_INIT from _dl_sysdep_start. But when ld.so is
loaded by static executable, DL_PLATFORM_INIT is never called. Also
x86 cache info in libc.o and libc.a is initialized by a constructor
which may be called too late. Since some fields in _rtld_global_ro
in ld.so are initialized by dynamic relocation, we can also initialize
x86 CPU features in _rtld_global_ro in ld.so and cache info in libc.so
by initializing dummy function pointers in ld.so and libc.so via IFUNC
relocation.
Key points:
1. IFUNC is always supported, independent of --enable-multi-arch or
--disable-multi-arch. Linker generates IFUNC relocations from input
IFUNC objects and ld.so performs IFUNC relocations.
2. There are no IFUNC dependencies in ld.so before dynamic relocation
have been performed,
3. The x86 CPU features in ld.so is initialized by DL_PLATFORM_INIT
in dynamic executable and by IFUNC relocation in dlopen in static
executable.
4. The x86 cache info in libc.o is initialized by IFUNC relocation.
5. In libc.a, both x86 CPU features and cache info are initialized from
ARCH_INIT_CPU_FEATURES, not by IFUNC relocation, before __libc_early_init
is called.
Note: _dl_x86_init_cpu_features can be called more than once from
DL_PLATFORM_INIT and during relocation in ld.so.

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.
