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.
32bit memset-sse2.S assumes cache size is multiple of 128 bytes. If
it isn't true, memset-sse2.S will fail. For example, a processor can
have 24576 KB L3 cache and 20 cores. That is 2516582 byte per core. Half
of it is 1258291, which isn't helpful for vector instructions. This
patch rounds cache sizes to multiple of 256 bytes and adds "raw" cache
sizes.
The meaning of the 25-14 bits in EAX returned from cpuid with EAX = 4
has been changed from "the maximum number of threads sharing the cache"
to "the maximum number of addressable IDs for logical processors sharing
the cache" if cpuid takes EAX = 11. We need to use results from both
EAX = 4 and EAX = 11 to get the number of threads sharing the cache.
The 25-14 bits in EAX on Core i7 is 15 although the number of logical
processors is 8. Here is a white paper on this:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-64-architecture-processor-topology-enumeration/
This patch correctly counts number of logical processors on Intel CPUs
with EAX = 11 support on cpuid. Tested on Dinnington, Core i7 and
Nehalem EX/EP.
It also fixed Pentium Ds workaround since EBX may not have the right
value returned from cpuid with EAX = 1.
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.
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.
