x86-64: memcmp-avx2-movbe.S needs saturating subtraction [BZ #21662]
This code: L(between_2_3): /* Load as big endian with overlapping loads and bswap to avoid branches. */ movzwl -2(%rdi, %rdx), %eax movzwl -2(%rsi, %rdx), %ecx shll $16, %eax shll $16, %ecx movzwl (%rdi), %edi movzwl (%rsi), %esi orl %edi, %eax orl %esi, %ecx bswap %eax bswap %ecx subl %ecx, %eax ret needs a saturating subtract because the full register is used. With this commit, only the lower 24 bits of the register are used, so a regular subtraction suffices. The test case change adds coverage for these kinds of bugs.
