             Bug #: 13583
           Summary: AVX check not done correctly for strcasecmp
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: delroth@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


According to Intel manuals, checking for AVX has to be done by checking AVX and
OS XSAVE support in CPUID + XFEATURE_ENABLED_MASK via xgetbv. However, for
strcasecmp, AVX is checked by testing the AVX bit in the cpuid.

This makes systems using glibc-2.15 unbootable under current versions of Xen
when the CPU supports AVX because Xen does not have XSAVE support. On these
systems, strcasecmp fails with a SIGILL when executing vmovdqa.

Bad check is here:

Example of a good check:
