Optimize x86-64 strcmp/wcscmp and strncmp/wcsncmp with AVX2. It uses vector
comparison as much as possible. Peak performance observed on a SkyLake
machine: 9x, 3x, 2.5x and 5.5x for strcmp, strncmp, wcscmp and wcsncmp,
respectively. The larger the comparison length, the more benefit using
avx2 functions, except on the strcmp, where peak is observed at length
== 32 bytes. Select AVX2 strcmp/wcscmp on AVX2 machines where vzeroupper
is preferred and AVX unaligned load is fast.
NB: It uses TZCNT instead of BSF since TZCNT produces the same result
as BSF for non-zero input. TZCNT is faster than BSF and is executed
as BSF if machine doesn't support TZCNT.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
strcmp-avx2, strncmp-avx2, wcscmp-avx2, wcscmp-sse2, wcsncmp-avx2 and
wcsncmp-sse2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add tests for __strcmp_avx2,
__strncmp_avx2, __wcscmp_avx2, __wcsncmp_avx2, __wcscmp_sse2
and __wcsncmp_sse2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcmp.c (OPTIMIZE (avx2)):
(IFUNC_SELECTOR): Return OPTIMIZE (avx2) on AVX 2 machines if
AVX unaligned load is fast and vzeroupper is preferred.
