*	x86: Optimize memchr-evex.S and implement with VMM headers	Noah Goldstein	2022-10-19	1	-3/+6
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Optimizations are: 1. Use the fact that tzcnt(0) -> VEC_SIZE for memchr to save a branch in short string case. 2. Restructure code so that small strings are given the hot path. - This is a net-zero on the benchmark suite but in general makes sense as smaller sizes are far more common. 3. Use more code-size efficient instructions. - tzcnt ... -> bsf ... - vpcmpb $0 ... -> vpcmpeq ... 4. Align labels less aggressively, especially if it doesn't save fetch blocks / causes the basic-block to span extra cache-lines. The optimizations (especially for point 2) make the memchr and rawmemchr code essentially incompatible so split rawmemchr-evex to a new file. Code Size Changes: memchr-evex.S : -107 bytes rawmemchr-evex.S : -53 bytes Net perf changes: Reported as geometric mean of all improvements / regressions from N=10 runs of the benchtests. Value as New Time / Old Time so < 1.0 is improvement and 1.0 is regression. memchr-evex.S : 0.928 rawmemchr-evex.S : 0.986 (Less targets cross cache lines) Full results attached in email. Full check passes on x86-64.
*	x86: Add EVEX optimized memchr family not safe for RTM	Noah Goldstein	2021-05-08	1	-0/+3
	No bug. This commit adds a new implementation for EVEX memchr that is not safe for RTM because it uses vzeroupper. The benefit is that by using ymm0-ymm15 it can use vpcmpeq and vpternlogd in the 4x loop which is faster than the RTM safe version which cannot use vpcmpeq because there is no EVEX encoding for the instruction. All parts of the implementation aside from the 4x loop are the same for the two versions and the optimization is only relevant for large sizes.
