Use AVX unaligned memcpy only if AVX2 is available
memcpy with unaligned 256-bit AVX register loads/stores are slow on older
processorsl like Sandy Bridge. This patch adds bit_AVX_Fast_Unaligned_Load
and sets it only when AVX2 is available.
[BZ #17801]
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/init-arch.c (__init_cpu_features):
Set the bit_AVX_Fast_Unaligned_Load bit for AVX2.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/init-arch.h (bit_AVX_Fast_Unaligned_Load):
New.
(index_AVX_Fast_Unaligned_Load): Likewise.
(HAS_AVX_FAST_UNALIGNED_LOAD): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.S (__new_memcpy): Check the
bit_AVX_Fast_Unaligned_Load bit instead of the bit_AVX_Usable bit.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy_chk.S (__memcpy_chk): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.S (__mempcpy): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy_chk.S (__mempcpy_chk): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove.c (__libc_memmove): Replace
HAS_AVX with HAS_AVX_FAST_UNALIGNED_LOAD.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove_chk.c (__memmove_chk): Likewise.
