The current IFUNC selection is based on microbenchmarks in glibc. It
should give the best performance for most workloads. But other choices
may have better performance for a particular workload or on the hardware
which wasn't available at the selection was made. The environment
variable, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.ifunc=-xxx,yyy,-zzz...., can be used
to enable CPU/ARCH feature yyy, disable CPU/ARCH feature yyy and zzz,
where the feature name is case-sensitive and has to match the ones in
cpu-features.h. It can be used by glibc developers to override the
IFUNC selection to tune for a new processor or improve performance for
a particular workload. It isn't intended for normal end users.
NOTE: the IFUNC selection may change over time. Please check all
multiarch implementations when experimenting.
Also, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold=NUMBER is
provided to set threshold to use non temporal store to NUMBER,

The LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable was ignored in static binaries,
which is inconsistent with the behaviour of dynamically linked
binaries. This seems to have been because of the inability of
ld_hwcap_mask being read early enough to influence anything but now
that it is in tunables, the mask is usable in static binaries as well.

being masked out to disable multiarch. A sanity test on x86_64 shows

dl_platform and dl_hwcap are set from AT_PLATFORM and AT_HWCAP very
early during startup. They are used by dynamic linker to determine
platform and build an array of hardware capability names, which are
added to search path when loading shared object. dl_platform and
dl_hwcap are unused on x86-64. On i386, i386, i486, i586 and i686
platforms were supported and only SSE2 capability was used.
On x86, usage of AT_PLATFORM and AT_HWCAP to determine platform and
processor capabilities is obsolete since all information is available
in dl_x86_cpu_features. This patch sets dl_platform and dl_hwcap from
dl_x86_cpu_features in dynamic linker. On i386, the available plaforms
are changed to i586 and i686 since i386 has been deprecated. On x86-64,
the available plaforms are haswell, which is for Haswell class processors
with BMI1, BMI2, LZCNT, MOVBE, POPCNT, AVX2 and FMA, and xeon_phi, which
is for Xeon Phi class processors with AVX512F, AVX512CD, AVX512ER and
AVX512PF. A capability, avx512_1, is also added to x86-64 for AVX512

On Skylake server, AVX512 load/store instructions in memcpy/memset may
lead to lower CPU turbo frequency in certain situations. Use of AVX2
in memcpy/memset has been observed to have improved overall performance
in many workloads due to the higher frequency.
Since AVX512ER is unique to Xeon Phi, this patch sets Prefer_No_AVX512
if AVX512ER isn't available so that AVX2 versions of memcpy/memset are

In the Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming
reference the recommended way to test for FMA in section
'2.2.1 Detection of FMA' is:
"Application Software must identify that hardware supports AVX as
explained in ... after that it must also detect support for FMA..."
We don't do that in glibc. We use osxsave to detect the use of xgetbv,
and after that we check for AVX and FMA orthogonally. It is conceivable
that you could have the AVX bit clear and the FMA bit in an undefined
state.
This commit fixes FMA and AVX2 detection to depend on usable AVX
as required by the recommended Intel sequences.

There is transition penalty when SSE instructions are mixed with 256-bit
AVX or 512-bit AVX512 load instructions. Since _dl_runtime_resolve_avx
and _dl_runtime_profile_avx512 save/restore 256-bit YMM/512-bit ZMM
registers, there is transition penalty when SSE instructions are used
with lazy binding on AVX and AVX512 processors.
To avoid SSE transition penalty, if only the lower 128 bits of the first
8 vector registers are non-zero, we can preserve %xmm0 - %xmm7 registers
with the zero upper bits.
For AVX and AVX512 processors which support XGETBV with ECX == 1, we can
use XGETBV with ECX == 1 to check if the upper 128 bits of YMM registers
or the upper 256 bits of ZMM registers are zero. We can restore only the
non-zero portion of vector registers with AVX/AVX512 load instructions
which will zero-extend upper bits of vector registers.
This patch adds _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex which saves and restores
XMM registers with 128-bit AVX store/load instructions. It is used to
preserve YMM/ZMM registers when only the lower 128 bits are non-zero.
_dl_runtime_resolve_avx_opt and _dl_runtime_resolve_avx512_opt are added
and used on AVX/AVX512 processors supporting XGETBV with ECX == 1 so
that we store and load only the non-zero portion of vector registers.
This avoids SSE transition penalty caused by _dl_runtime_resolve_avx and
_dl_runtime_profile_avx512 when only the lower 128 bits of vector
registers are used.
_dl_runtime_resolve_avx_slow is added and used for AVX processors which
don't support XGETBV with ECX == 1. Since there is no SSE transition
penalty on AVX512 processors which don't support XGETBV with ECX == 1,
_dl_runtime_resolve_avx512_slow isn't provided.

We detect i586 and i686 features at run-time by checking CX8 and CMOV
CPUID features bits. We can use these information to select the best
implementation in ix86 multiarch. HAS_I586/HAS_I686 is true if i586/i686
instructions are available on the processor.
Due to the reordering and the other nifty extensions in i686, it is not
really good to use heavily i586 optimized code on an i686. It's better
to use i486 code if it isn't an i586. USE_I586/USE_I686 is true if
i586/i686 implementation should be used for the processor. USE_I586
is true only if i686 instructions aren't available. If i686 instructions

(HAS_I586): Defined as HAS_ARCH_FEATURE (I586) if i586 isn't
available at compile-time.

available at compile-time.

(USE_I686): Likewise.
cpuid, i586 and i686 instructions are available if the processor
specified by -march= supports them. We can use this information
to determine whether those instructions can be used safely.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Check
whether cpuid is available only if HAS_CPUID is 0.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (HAS_CPUID): New.
(HAS_I586): Likewise.
(HAS_I686): Likewise.
Since not all i486 processors support cpuid, we call __get_cpuid_max to
check if cpuid is available before using it if not compiling for i586,
i686 nor x86-64.
* sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Call
__get_cpuid_max if not compiling for i586, i686 nor x86-64.
