From: Sunil Pandey <skpgkp2@sourceware.org> To: glibc-cvs@sourceware.org Subject: [glibc/release/2.34/master] x86-64: Remove Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2022 02:00:57 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview] Message-ID: <20220427020057.1C6623857370@sourceware.org> (raw) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=a182bb7a3922404f79def09d79ef89678b4049f0 commit a182bb7a3922404f79def09d79ef89678b4049f0 Author: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Date: Fri Oct 29 12:56:53 2021 -0700 x86-64: Remove Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP Remove Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP to enable EVEX strcmp. When comparing 2 32-byte strings, EVEX strcmp has been improved to require 1 load, 1 VPTESTM, 1 VPCMP, 1 KMOVD and 1 INCL instead of 2 loads, 3 VPCMPs, 2 KORDs, 1 KMOVD and 1 TESTL while AVX2 strcmp requires 1 load, 2 VPCMPEQs, 1 VPMINU, 1 VPMOVMSKB and 1 TESTL. EVEX strcmp is now faster than AVX2 strcmp by up to 40% on Tiger Lake and Ice Lake.
