In some cases (e.g QEMU, non-Intel/AMD CPU) the cache information can
not be retrieved and the corresponding values are set to 0.
Commit 2d651eb9265d ("x86: Move x86 processor cache info to
cpu_features") changed the behaviour in such case by defining the
__x86_shared_cache_size and __x86_data_cache_size variables to 0 instead
of using the default values. This cause an issue with the i686 SSE2
optimized bzero/routine which assumes that the cache size is at least
128 bytes, and otherwise tries to zero/set the whole address space minus
128 bytes.
Fix that by restoring the original code to only update
__x86_shared_cache_size and __x86_data_cache_size variables if the
corresponding cache sizes are not zero.
Fixes bug 28784
Fixes commit 2d651eb9265d

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

x86-64: Avoid rep movsb with short distance [BZ #27130]
introduced some regressions on Intel processors without Fast Short REP
MOV (FSRM). Add Avoid_Short_Distance_REP_MOVSB to avoid rep movsb with
short distance only on Intel processors with FSRM. bench-memmove-large
on Skylake server shows that cycles of __memmove_evex_unaligned_erms
improves for the following data size:

In the process of optimizing memcpy for AMD machines, we have found the
vector move operations are outperforming enhanced REP MOVSB for data
transfers above the L2 cache size on Zen3 architectures.
To handle this use case, we are adding an upper bound parameter on
enhanced REP MOVSB:'__x86_rep_movsb_stop_threshold'.
As per large-bench results, we are configuring this parameter to the
L2 cache size for AMD machines and applicable from Zen3 architecture
supporting the ERMS feature.
For architectures other than AMD, it is the computed value of
non-temporal threshold parameter.

1. Move x86 processor cache info to _dl_x86_cpu_features in ld.so.
2. Update tunable bounds with TUNABLE_SET_WITH_BOUNDS.
3. Move x86 cache info initialization to dl-cacheinfo.h and initialize
x86 cache info in init_cpu_features ().
4. Put x86 cache info for libc in cacheinfo.h, which is included in
libc-start.c in libc.a and is included in cacheinfo.c in libc.so.

Modifying the shareable cache '__x86_shared_cache_size', which is a
factor in computing the non-temporal threshold parameter
'__x86_shared_non_temporal_threshold' to optimize memcpy for AMD Zen
architectures.
In the existing implementation, the shareable cache is computed as 'L3
per thread, L2 per core'. Recomputing this shareable cache as 'L3 per
CCX(Core-Complex)' has brought in performance gains.
As per the large bench variant results, this patch also addresses the
regression problem on AMD Zen architectures.

X86 CPU features in ld.so are initialized by init_cpu_features, which is
invoked by DL_PLATFORM_INIT from _dl_sysdep_start. But when ld.so is
loaded by static executable, DL_PLATFORM_INIT is never called. Also
x86 cache info in libc.o and libc.a is initialized by a constructor
which may be called too late. Since some fields in _rtld_global_ro
in ld.so are initialized by dynamic relocation, we can also initialize
x86 CPU features in _rtld_global_ro in ld.so and cache info in libc.so
by initializing dummy function pointers in ld.so and libc.so via IFUNC
relocation.
Key points:
1. IFUNC is always supported, independent of --enable-multi-arch or
--disable-multi-arch. Linker generates IFUNC relocations from input
IFUNC objects and ld.so performs IFUNC relocations.
2. There are no IFUNC dependencies in ld.so before dynamic relocation
have been performed,
3. The x86 CPU features in ld.so is initialized by DL_PLATFORM_INIT
in dynamic executable and by IFUNC relocation in dlopen in static
executable.
4. The x86 cache info in libc.o is initialized by IFUNC relocation.
5. In libc.a, both x86 CPU features and cache info are initialized from
ARCH_INIT_CPU_FEATURES, not by IFUNC relocation, before __libc_early_init
is called.
Note: _dl_x86_init_cpu_features can be called more than once from
DL_PLATFORM_INIT and during relocation in ld.so.
