This is the initial split to decouple AVX256 composed operations from
their MMX/SSE counterparts. This is to work around the subtle
differences with AVX/SSE zext/insert behaviour.
For all the 32-bit rotates (except for RORX) we were failing to zero
extend the 32-bit result to the destination register when the rotate was
masked to zero.
Ensure we do this.
The canonical way to generate a zero register vector in x86 is to xor
itself. Capture this can convert it to canonical zero register instead.
Can get zero-cycle renamed on latest CPUs.
We can support a few combinations of guest and host vector sizes
Host: 128-bit or 256-bit
Guest: 128-bit or 256-bit
The typical case is Host = 128-bit and Guest = 256-bit now that AVX is
implemented.
On 32-bit this changes to Host=128-bit and Guest=128-bit because we
disable AVX.
In the vixl simulator 32-bit turns in to Host=256-bit and Guest=128-bit.
And then in the vixl sim 64-bit turns in to Host=256-bit and
Guest=256-bit.
We cover all four combinations of guest and host vector register sizes!
Fixes a few assumptions that SVE256 = AVX256 basically.
When the source or destination is a register, the address size override
doesn't apply. We were accidentally applying it on all sources
regardless of type which was causing us to zero extend on operations
that aren't affected by address size override.
This fixes the OpenSSL cert error in every application, but most
importantly Steam.
Only installs the tables if SVE256 isn't supported yet AVX is explicitly
enabled with HostFeatures, to protect accidental enablement early.
- Only implements 85 instructions starting out
- Basic vector moves
- Basic vector unary operations
- Basic vector binary operations
- VZeroUpper/VZeroAll
The bulk of the implementation is currently the handling for loading and
storing the halves of the registers from the context or from memory.
This means the load/store helpers must always return a pair unless only
requesting the bottom half of the register, which occurs with 128-bit
AVX operations. The store side then needing to consume the named zero
register if it occurs since those cases will zero the upper bits.
This implementation approach has a few benefits.
- I can pound this out extremely quickly
- SSE implementations are unaffected and don't need to deal with the
insert behaviour of SVE256.
- We still keep the SVE256 implementation for the inevitable future when
hardware vendors actually do implement it (Give it 8 years or
something).
- We can actually unit test this path in CI once it is complete.
- We can partially optimize some paths with SVE128 (Gathers) and support
a full ASIMD path if necessary.
One downside is that I can't enable this in CI yet because it can't pass
all unittests. but that's a non-issue since it is going to be in heavy
flux as I'm hammering out the implementation. It'll get switched on at
the end when it's passing all 1265 AVX unittests. Currently at 1001 on
this.
