This commit add support for the new AVX10 cpu features:
https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/784267/355989-intel-avx10-spec.pdf
We add checks for:
- `AVX10`: Check if AVX10 is present.
- `AVX10_{X,Y,Z}MM`: Check if a given vec class has AVX10 support.
`make check` passes and cpuid output was checked against GNR/DMR on an
emulator.
The old Intel software developer manual specified that the low byte of
EAX of CPUID leaf 2 returned 1 which indicated the number of rounds of
CPUDID leaf 2 was needed to retrieve the complete cache information. The
newer Intel manual has been changed to that it should always return 1
and be ignored. If the lower byte isn't 1, CPUID leaf 2 can't be used.
In this case, we ignore CPUID leaf 2 and use CPUID leaf 4 instead. If
CPUID leaf 4 doesn't contain the cache information, cache information
isn't available at all. This addresses BZ #30643.
The:
```
if (shared_per_thread > 0 && threads > 0)
shared_per_thread /= threads;
```
Code was accidentally moved to inside the else scope. This doesn't
match how it was previously (before af992e7abd).
This patch fixes that by putting the division after the `else` block.
Some legacy AMD CPUs and hypervisors have the _cpuid_ '0x8000_001D'
set to Zero, thus resulting in zeroed-out computed cache values.
This patch reintroduces the old way of cache computation as a
fail-safe option to handle these exceptions.
Fixed 'level4_cache_size' value through handle_amd().

On some machines we end up with incomplete cache information. This can
make the new calculation of `sizeof(total-L3)/custom-divisor` end up
lower than intended (and lower than the prior value). So reintroduce
the old bound as a lower bound to avoid potentially regressing code
where we don't have complete information to make the decision.

x86: Increase `non_temporal_threshold` to roughly `sizeof_L3 / 4`
```
Split `shared` (cumulative cache size) from `shared_per_thread` (cache
size per socket), the `shared_per_thread` *can* be slightly off from
the previous calculation.
Previously we added `core` even if `threads_l2` was invalid, and only
used `threads_l2` to divide `core` if it was present. The changed
version only included `core` if `threads_l2` was valid.
This change restores the old behavior if `threads_l2` is invalid by
adding the entire value of `core`.

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.

This patch should have no affect on existing functionality.
The current code, which has a single switch for model detection and
setting prefered features, is difficult to follow/extend. The cases
use magic numbers and many microarchitectures are missing. This makes
it difficult to reason about what is implemented so far and/or
how/where to add support for new features.
This patch splits the model detection and preference setting stages so
that CPU preferences can be set based on a complete list of available
microarchitectures, rather than based on model magic numbers.

Current `non_temporal_threshold` set to roughly '3/4 * sizeof_L3 /
ncores_per_socket'. This patch updates that value to roughly
'sizeof_L3 / 4`
The original value (specifically dividing the `ncores_per_socket`) was
done to limit the amount of other threads' data a `memcpy`/`memset`
could evict.
Dividing by 'ncores_per_socket', however leads to exceedingly low
non-temporal thresholds and leads to using non-temporal stores in
cases where REP MOVSB is multiple times faster.
Furthermore, non-temporal stores are written directly to main memory
so using it at a size much smaller than L3 can place soon to be
accessed data much further away than it otherwise could be. As well,
modern machines are able to detect streaming patterns (especially if
REP MOVSB is used) and provide LRU hints to the memory subsystem. This
in affect caps the total amount of eviction at 1/cache_associativity,
far below meaningfully thrashing the entire cache.
As best I can tell, the benchmarks that lead this small threshold
where done comparing non-temporal stores versus standard cacheable
stores. A better comparison (linked below) is to be REP MOVSB which,
on the measure systems, is nearly 2x faster than non-temporal stores
at the low-end of the previous threshold, and within 10% for over
100MB copies (well past even the current threshold). In cases with a
low number of threads competing for bandwidth, REP MOVSB is ~2x faster
up to `sizeof_L3`.
The divisor of `4` is a somewhat arbitrary value. From benchmarks it
seems Skylake and Icelake both prefer a divisor of `2`, but older CPUs
such as Broadwell prefer something closer to `8`. This patch is meant
to be followed up by another one to make the divisor cpu-specific, but
in the meantime (and for easier backporting), this patch settles on
`4` as a middle-ground.
Benchmarks comparing non-temporal stores, REP MOVSB, and cacheable
stores where done using:

If `non_temporal_threshold` is below `minimum_non_temporal_threshold`,
it almost certainly means we failed to read the systems cache info.
In this case, rather than defaulting the minimum correct value, we
should default to a value that gets at least reasonable
performance. 64MB is chosen conservatively to be at the very high
end. This should never cause non-temporal stores when, if we had read
cache info, we wouldn't have otherwise.

sysdeps/x86/cpu-tunables.c
3. compiled and run ./testrun.sh /usr/bin/ls

p -- LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8

Crossing 2GB boundaries with indirect calls and jumps can use more
branch prediction resources on Intel Golden Cove CPU (see the
"Misprediction for Branches >2GB" section in Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures Optimization Reference Manual.) There is visible
performance improvement on workloads with many PLT calls when executable
and shared libraries are mmapped below 2GB. Add the Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC
bit so that mmap will try to map executable or denywrite pages in shared
libraries with MAP_32BIT first.
NB: 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 the tunable, glibc.cpu.prefer_map_32bit_exec,
or the environment variable, LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC. This works only
between shared libraries or between shared libraries and executables with
addresses below 2GB. PIEs are usually loaded at a random address above
4GB by the kernel.
All AMD architectures cache details will be computed based on
__cpuid__ `0x8000_001D` and the reference to __cpuid__ `0x8000_0006` will be
zeroed out for future architectures.
