1. Refactor files so that all implementations are in the multiarch
directory
- Moved the implementation portion of memcmp sse2 from memcmp.S to
multiarch/memcmp-sse2.S
- The non-multiarch file now only includes one of the
implementations in the multiarch directory based on the compiled
ISA level (only used for non-multiarch builds. Otherwise we go
through the ifunc selector).
2. Add ISA level build guards to different implementations.
- I.e memcmp-avx2-movsb.S which is ISA level 3 will only build if
compiled ISA level <= 3. Otherwise there is no reason to include
it as we will always use one of the ISA level 4
implementations (memcmp-evex-movbe.S).
3. Add new multiarch/rtld-{w}memcmp{eq}.S that just include the
non-multiarch {w}memcmp{eq}.S which will in turn select the best
implementation based on the compiled ISA level.
4. Refactor the ifunc selector and ifunc implementation list to use
the ISA level aware wrapper macros that allow functions below the
compiled ISA level (with a guranteed replacement) to be skipped.
Tested with and without multiarch on x86_64 for ISA levels:
{generic, x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4}
And m32 with and without multiarch.

Remove Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP to enable EVEX strcmp. When comparing 2 32-byte
strings, EVEX strcmp has been improved to require 1 load, 1 VPTESTM, 1
VPCMP, 1 KMOVD and 1 INCL instead of 2 loads, 3 VPCMPs, 2 KORDs, 1 KMOVD
and 1 TESTL while AVX2 strcmp requires 1 load, 2 VPCMPEQs, 1 VPMINU, 1
VPMOVMSKB and 1 TESTL. EVEX strcmp is now faster than AVX2 strcmp by up
to 40% on Tiger Lake and Ice Lake.
1. Set Prefer_No_VZEROUPPER if RTM is usable to avoid RTM abort triggered
by VZEROUPPER inside a transactionally executing RTM region.
2. Since to compare 2 32-byte strings, 256-bit EVEX strcmp requires 2
loads, 3 VPCMPs and 2 KORDs while AVX2 strcmp requires 1 load, 2 VPCMPEQs,
1 VPMINU and 1 VPMOVMSKB, AVX2 strcmp is faster than EVEX strcmp. Add
Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP to prefer AVX2 strcmp family functions.
1. Support GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.cpu.hwcaps=-XSAVE.
2. Disable all features which depend on XSAVE:
a. If OSXSAVE is disabled by glibc tunables. Or
b. If both XSAVE and XSAVEC aren't usable.

Support usable check for all CPU features with the following changes:
1. Change struct cpu_features to
struct cpuid_features
{
struct cpuid_registers cpuid;
struct cpuid_registers usable;
};
struct cpu_features
{
struct cpu_features_basic basic;
struct cpuid_features features[COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX];
unsigned int preferred[PREFERRED_FEATURE_INDEX_MAX];
...
};
so that there is a usable bit for each cpuid bit.
2. After the cpuid bits have been initialized, copy the known bits to the
usable bits. EAX/EBX from INDEX_1 and EAX from INDEX_7 aren't used for
CPU feature detection.
3. Clear the usable bits which require OS support.
4. If the feature is supported by OS, copy its cpuid bit to its usable
bit.
5. Replace HAS_CPU_FEATURE and CPU_FEATURES_CPU_P with CPU_FEATURE_USABLE
and CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P to check if a feature is usable.
6. Add DEPR_FPU_CS_DS for INDEX_7_EBX_13.
7. Unset MPX feature since it has been deprecated.
The results are
1. If the feature is known and doesn't requre OS support, its usable bit
is copied from the cpuid bit.
2. Otherwise, its usable bit is copied from the cpuid bit only if the
feature is known to supported by OS.
3. CPU_FEATURE_USABLE/CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P are used to check if the
feature can be used.
4. HAS_CPU_FEATURE/CPU_FEATURE_CPU_P are used to check if CPU supports
the feature.
1. Divide architecture features into the usable features and the preferred
features. The usable features are for correctness and can be exported in
a stable ABI. The preferred features are for performance and only for
glibc internal use.
2. Change struct cpu_features to
struct cpu_features
{
struct cpu_features_basic basic;
unsigned int *usable_p;
struct cpuid_registers cpuid[COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX];
unsigned int usable[USABLE_FEATURE_INDEX_MAX];
unsigned int preferred[PREFERRED_FEATURE_INDEX_MAX];
...
};
and initialize usable_p to pointer to the usable arary so that
struct cpu_features
{
struct cpu_features_basic basic;
unsigned int *usable_p;
struct cpuid_registers cpuid[COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX];
};
can be exported via a stable ABI. The cpuid and usable arrays can be
expanded with backward binary compatibility for both .o and .so files.
3. Add COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_7_ECX_1 for AVX512_BF16.
4. Detect ENQCMD, PKS, AVX512_VP2INTERSECT, MD_CLEAR, SERIALIZE, HYBRID,
TSXLDTRK, L1D_FLUSH, CORE_CAPABILITIES and AVX512_BF16.
5. Rename CAPABILITIES to ARCH_CAPABILITIES.
6. Check if AVX512_VP2INTERSECT, AVX512_BF16 and PKU are usable.
7. Update CPU feature detection test.
1. Include <dl-procruntime.c> to get architecture specific initializer in
rtld_global.
2. Change _dl_x86_feature_1[2] to _dl_x86_feature_1.
3. Add _dl_x86_feature_control after _dl_x86_feature_1, which is a
struct of 2 bitfields for IBT and SHSTK control
This fixes [BZ #25887].
The glibc.tune namespace is vaguely named since it is a 'tunable', so
give it a more specific name that describes what it refers to. Rename
the tunable namespace to 'cpu' to more accurately reflect what it
encompasses. Also rename glibc.tune.cpu to glibc.cpu.name since
glibc.cpu.cpu is weird.

Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) instructions:
https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/4d/2a/control-flow-en
forcement-technology-preview.pdf
includes Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) and Shadow Stack (SHSTK).
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is added to GNU program property to
indicate that all executable sections are compatible with IBT when
ENDBR instruction starts each valid target where an indirect branch
instruction can land. Linker sets GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT on
output only if it is set on all relocatable inputs.
On an IBT capable processor, the following steps should be taken:
1. When loading an executable without an interpreter, enable IBT and
lock IBT if GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is set on the executable.
2. When loading an executable with an interpreter, enable IBT if
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is set on the interpreter.
a. If GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT isn't set on the executable,
disable IBT.
b. Lock IBT.
3. If IBT is enabled, when loading a shared object without
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT:
a. If legacy interwork is allowed, then mark all pages in executable
PT_LOAD segments in legacy code page bitmap. Failure of legacy code
page bitmap allocation causes an error.
b. If legacy interwork isn't allowed, it causes an error.
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is added to GNU program property to
indicate that all executable sections are compatible with SHSTK where
return address popped from shadow stack always matches return address
popped from normal stack. Linker sets GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK
on output only if it is set on all relocatable inputs.
On a SHSTK capable processor, the following steps should be taken:
1. When loading an executable without an interpreter, enable SHSTK if
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is set on the executable.
2. When loading an executable with an interpreter, enable SHSTK if
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is set on interpreter.
a. If GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK isn't set on the executable
or any shared objects loaded via the DT_NEEDED tag, disable SHSTK.
b. Otherwise lock SHSTK.
3. After SHSTK is enabled, it is an error to load a shared object
without GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK.
To enable CET support in glibc, --enable-cet is required to configure
glibc. When CET is enabled, both compiler and assembler must support
CET. Otherwise, it is a configure-time error.
To support CET run-time control,
1. _dl_x86_feature_1 is added to the writable ld.so namespace to indicate
if IBT or SHSTK are enabled at run-time. It should be initialized by
init_cpu_features.
2. For dynamic executables:
a. A l_cet field is added to struct link_map to indicate if IBT or
SHSTK is enabled in an ELF module. _dl_process_pt_note or
_rtld_process_pt_note is called to process PT_NOTE segment for
GNU program property and set l_cet.
b. _dl_open_check is added to check IBT and SHSTK compatibilty when
dlopening a shared object.
3. Replace i386 _dl_runtime_resolve and _dl_runtime_profile with
_dl_runtime_resolve_shstk and _dl_runtime_profile_shstk, respectively if
SHSTK is enabled.
CET run-time control can be changed via GLIBC_TUNABLES with
$ export GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_shstk=[permissive|on|off]
$ export GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_ibt=[permissive|on|off]
1. permissive: SHSTK is disabled when dlopening a legacy ELF module.
2. on: IBT or SHSTK are always enabled, regardless if there are IBT or
SHSTK bits in GNU program property.
3. off: IBT or SHSTK are always disabled, regardless if there are IBT or
SHSTK bits in GNU program property.
<cet.h> from CET-enabled GCC is automatically included by assembly codes
to add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK
to GNU program property. _CET_ENDBR is added at the entrance of all
assembly functions whose address may be taken. _CET_NOTRACK is used to
insert NOTRACK prefix with indirect jump table to support IBT. It is
defined as notrack when _CET_NOTRACK is defined in <cet.h>.

In _dl_runtime_resolve, use fxsave/xsave/xsavec to preserve all vector,
mask and bound registers. It simplifies _dl_runtime_resolve and supports
different calling conventions. ld.so code size is reduced by more than
1 KB. However, use fxsave/xsave/xsavec takes a little bit more cycles
than saving and restoring vector and bound registers individually.
Latency for _dl_runtime_resolve to lookup the function, foo, from one
shared library plus libc.so:
Before After Change
Westmere (SSE)/fxsave 345 866 151%
IvyBridge (AVX)/xsave 420 643 53%
Haswell (AVX)/xsave 713 1252 75%
Skylake (AVX+MPX)/xsavec 559 719 28%
Skylake (AVX512+MPX)/xsavec 145 272 87%
Ryzen (AVX)/xsavec 280 553 97%
This is the worst case where portion of time spent for saving and
restoring registers is bigger than majority of cases. With smaller
_dl_runtime_resolve code size, overall performance impact is negligible.
On IvyBridge, differences in build and test time of binutils with lazy
binding GCC and binutils are noises. On Westmere, differences in
bootstrap and "makc check" time of GCC 7 with lazy binding GCC and
binutils are also noises.

The current IFUNC selection is based on microbenchmarks in glibc. It
should give the best performance for most workloads. But other choices
may have better performance for a particular workload or on the hardware
which wasn't available at the selection was made. The environment
variable, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.ifunc=-xxx,yyy,-zzz...., can be used
to enable CPU/ARCH feature yyy, disable CPU/ARCH feature yyy and zzz,
where the feature name is case-sensitive and has to match the ones in
cpu-features.h. It can be used by glibc developers to override the
IFUNC selection to tune for a new processor or improve performance for
a particular workload. It isn't intended for normal end users.
NOTE: the IFUNC selection may change over time. Please check all
multiarch implementations when experimenting.
