Subject: [PATCH] x86: Set Prefer_No_VZEROUPPER and add Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP
Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
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.
