x86: Use AVX2 memcpy/memset on Skylake server [BZ #21396]
On Skylake server, AVX512 load/store instructions in memcpy/memset may lead to lower CPU turbo frequency in certain situations. Use of AVX2 in memcpy/memset has been observed to have improved overall performance in many workloads due to the higher frequency. Since AVX512ER is unique to Xeon Phi, this patch sets Prefer_No_AVX512 if AVX512ER isn't available so that AVX2 versions of memcpy/memset are used on Skylake server. [BZ #21396] * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Set Prefer_No_AVX512 if AVX512ER isn't available. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.h (bit_arch_Prefer_No_AVX512): New. (index_arch_Prefer_No_AVX512): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.S (__new_memcpy): Don't use AVX512 version if Prefer_No_AVX512 is set. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy_chk.S (__memcpy_chk): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove.S (__libc_memmove): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove_chk.S (__memmove_chk): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.S (__mempcpy): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy_chk.S (__mempcpy_chk): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset.S (memset): Likewise. * sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset_chk.S (__memset_chk): Likewise.
