On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register with the non-zero upper 32 bits. The string/memory
functions written in assembly can only use the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register as length or must clear the upper 32 bits before using
the full 64-bit register for length.
This pach fixes strncpy for x32. Tested on x86-64 and x32. On x86-64,
libc.so is the same with and without the fix.

Optimizations are:
1. Use more overlapping stores to avoid branches.
2. Reduce how unrolled the aligning copies are (this is more of a
code-size save, its a negative for some sizes in terms of
perf).
3. For st{r|p}n{cat|cpy} re-order the branches to minimize the
number that are taken.
Performance Changes:
Times are from N = 10 runs of the benchmark suite and are
reported as geometric mean of all ratios of
New Implementation / Old Implementation.
strcat-avx2 -> 0.998
strcpy-avx2 -> 0.937
stpcpy-avx2 -> 0.971
strncpy-avx2 -> 0.793
stpncpy-avx2 -> 0.775
strncat-avx2 -> 0.962
Code Size Changes:
function -> Bytes New / Bytes Old -> Ratio
strcat-avx2 -> 685 / 1639 -> 0.418
strcpy-avx2 -> 560 / 903 -> 0.620
stpcpy-avx2 -> 592 / 939 -> 0.630
strncpy-avx2 -> 1176 / 2390 -> 0.492
stpncpy-avx2 -> 1268 / 2438 -> 0.520
strncat-avx2 -> 1042 / 2563 -> 0.407
Notes:
1. Because of the significant difference between the
implementations they are split into three files.
strcpy-avx2.S -> strcpy, stpcpy, strcat
strncpy-avx2.S -> strncpy
strncat-avx2.S > strncat
I couldn't find a way to merge them without making the
ifdefs incredibly difficult to follow.
Full check passes on x86-64 and build succeeds for all ISA levels w/
and w/o multiarch.
1. Add default ISA level selection in non-multiarch/rtld
implementations.
2. Add ISA level build guards to different implementations.
- I.e strcpy-avx2.S which is ISA level 3 will only build if
compiled ISA level <= 3. Otherwise there is no reason to
include it as we will always use one of the ISA level 4
implementations (strcpy-evex.S).
3. Refactor the ifunc selector and ifunc implementation list to use
the ISA level aware wrapper macros that allow functions below the
compiled ISA level (with a guranteed replacement) to be skipped.
Tested with and without multiarch on x86_64 for ISA levels:
{generic, x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4}
And m32 with and without multiarch.
Optimize x86-64 strcat/strncat, strcpy/strncpy and stpcpy/stpncpy with AVX2.
It uses vector comparison as much as possible. In general, the larger the
source string, the greater performance gain observed, reaching speedups of
1.6x compared to SSE2 unaligned routines. Select AVX2 strcat/strncat,
strcpy/strncpy and stpcpy/stpncpy on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper is
preferred and AVX unaligned load is fast.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
strcat-avx2, strncat-avx2, strcpy-avx2, strncpy-avx2,
stpcpy-avx2 and stpncpy-avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c:
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add tests for __strcat_avx2,
__strncat_avx2, __strcpy_avx2, __strncpy_avx2, __stpcpy_avx2
and __stpncpy_avx2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/{ifunc-unaligned-ssse3.h =>
ifunc-strcpy.h}: rename header for a more generic name.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-strcpy.h:
(IFUNC_SELECTOR): Return OPTIMIZE (avx2) on AVX 2 machines if
AVX unaligned load is fast and vzeroupper is preferred.
