Since memset-vec-unaligned-erms.S has VDUP_TO_VEC0_AND_SET_RETURN at
function entry, memset optimized for AVX2 and AVX512 will always use
ymm/zmm register. VZEROUPPER should be placed before ret in
L(stosb):
movq %rdx, %rcx
movzbl %sil, %eax
movq %rdi, %rdx
rep stosb
movq %rdx, %rax
ret
since it can be reached from
L(stosb_more_2x_vec):
cmpq $REP_STOSB_THRESHOLD, %rdx
ja L(stosb)
[BZ #21081]
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset-vec-unaligned-erms.S
(L(stosb)): Add VZEROUPPER before ret.
Since the new SSE2/AVX2 memsets are faster than the previous ones, we
can remove the previous SSE2/AVX2 memsets and replace them with the
new ones. This reduces the size of libc.so by about 900 bytes.
No change in IFUNC selection if SSE2 and AVX2 memsets weren't used
before. If SSE2 or AVX2 memset was used, the new SSE2 or AVX2 memset
optimized with Enhanced REP STOSB will be used for processors with
ERMS. The new AVX512 memset will be used for processors with AVX512
which prefer vzeroupper.

X86-64 memset-vec-unaligned-erms.S aligns many jump targets, which
increases code sizes, but not necessarily improve performance. As
memset benchtest data of align vs no align on various Intel and AMD
processors
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=9277
shows that aligning jump targets isn't necessary.
[BZ #20115]
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset-vec-unaligned-erms.S (__memset):
Remove alignments on jump targets.
Prepare memset-vec-unaligned-erms.S to make the SSE2 version as the
default memset.

Disabled fro now.
Replace MEMSET_SYMBOL with MEMSET_CHK_SYMBOL on __memset_chk
symbols. Properly check USE_MULTIARCH on __memset symbols.
Implement x86-64 memset with unaligned store and rep movsb. Support
16-byte, 32-byte and 64-byte vector register sizes. A single file
provides 2 implementations of memset, one with rep stosb and the other
without rep stosb. They share the same codes when size is between 2
times of vector register size and REP_STOSB_THRESHOLD which defaults
to 2KB.
Key features:
1. Use overlapping store to avoid branch.
2. For size <= 4 times of vector register size, fully unroll the loop.
3. For size > 4 times of vector register size, store 4 times of vector
register size at a time.
