X86-64: Add _dl_runtime_resolve_avx[512]_{opt|slow} [BZ #20508]
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. [BZ #20495] [BZ #20508] * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): For Intel processors, set Use_dl_runtime_resolve_slow and set Use_dl_runtime_resolve_opt if XGETBV suports ECX == 1. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (bit_Use_dl_runtime_resolve_opt): New. (bit_Use_dl_runtime_resolve_slow): Likewise. (index_Use_dl_runtime_resolve_opt): Likewise. (index_Use_dl_runtime_resolve_slow): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_runtime_setup): Use _dl_runtime_resolve_avx512_opt and _dl_runtime_resolve_avx_opt if Use_dl_runtime_resolve_opt is set. Use _dl_runtime_resolve_slow if Use_dl_runtime_resolve_slow is set. * sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.S: Include <cpu-features.h>. (_dl_runtime_resolve_opt): New. Defined for AVX and AVX512. (_dl_runtime_resolve): Add one for _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex. * sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.h (_dl_runtime_resolve_avx_slow): New. (_dl_runtime_resolve_opt): Likewise. (_dl_runtime_profile): Define only if _dl_runtime_profile is defined. (cherry picked from commit fb0f7a6755c1bfaec38f490fbfcaa39a66ee3604)
