x86-64: Improve branch predication in _dl_runtime_resolve_avx512_opt [BZ #21258]
On Skylake server, _dl_runtime_resolve_avx512_opt is used to preserve the first 8 vector registers. The code layout is if only %xmm0 - %xmm7 registers are used preserve %xmm0 - %xmm7 registers if only %ymm0 - %ymm7 registers are used preserve %ymm0 - %ymm7 registers preserve %zmm0 - %zmm7 registers Branch predication always executes the fallthrough code path to preserve %zmm0 - %zmm7 registers speculatively, even though only %xmm0 - %xmm7 registers are used. This leads to lower CPU frequency on Skylake server. This patch changes the fallthrough code path to preserve %xmm0 - %xmm7 registers instead: if whole %zmm0 - %zmm7 registers are used preserve %zmm0 - %zmm7 registers if only %ymm0 - %ymm7 registers are used preserve %ymm0 - %ymm7 registers preserve %xmm0 - %xmm7 registers Tested on Skylake server. [BZ #21258] * sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.S (_dl_runtime_resolve_opt): Define only if _dl_runtime_resolve is defined to _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex. * sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.h (_dl_runtime_resolve_opt): Fallthrough to _dl_runtime_resolve_sse_vex.
