The large memcpy micro benchmark in glibc shows that there is a
regression with large data on Haswell machine. non-temporal store in
memcpy on large data can improve performance significantly. This
patch adds a threshold to use non temporal store which is 6 times of
shared cache size. When size is above the threshold, non temporal
store will be used, but avoid non-temporal store if there is overlap
between destination and source since destination may be in cache when
source is loaded.
For size below 8 vector register width, we load all data into registers
and store them together. Only forward and backward loops, which move 4
vector registers at a time, are used to support overlapping addresses.
For forward loop, we load the last 4 vector register width of data and
the first vector register width of data into vector registers before the
loop and store them after the loop. For backward loop, we load the first
4 vector register width of data and the last vector register width of
data into vector registers before the loop and store them after the loop.
[BZ #19928]
* sysdeps/x86_64/cacheinfo.c (__x86_shared_non_temporal_threshold):
New.
(init_cacheinfo): Set __x86_shared_non_temporal_threshold to 6
times of shared cache size.

(VMOVNT): New.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-avx512-unaligned-erms.S
(VMOVNT): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-sse2-unaligned-erms.S
(VMOVNT): Likewise.
(VMOVU): Changed to movups for smaller code sizes.
(VMOVA): Changed to movaps for smaller code sizes.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-vec-unaligned-erms.S: Update
comments.
(PREFETCH): New.
(PREFETCH_SIZE): Likewise.

Rewrite to use forward and backward loops, which move 4 vector
registers at a time, to support overlapping addresses and use
non temporal store if size is above the threshold and there is
no overlap between destination and source.
