This is a different feature flag than regular AES as the default AES+AVX
only operates on 128-bit wide vectors.
With the newer `VAES` extension this is expanded to 256-bit.
The Oryon is the first CPU we know of that implemented support for the
RNG extension. It also has an errata where reading the RNDRRS register
never returns success. X86's RDSEED guarantees forward progress with
enough retries.
When an x86 processor messed this up at one point, some Linux systems
would infinite loop (presumably when something in boot was filling an
entropy pool). This required a microcode change to fix that processor.
The rdseed unittest infinite loops on this platform if RNG was exposed.
In quite a few locations we are mixing the case that SVE256 == AVX or
that AVX means the guest register size is 256-bit.
While this is true today, this is entanglement is going to change very
quickly and cause confusion in follow-up PRs.
Now we have SVE128, SVE256, and SVE2 HostFeatures to disambiguate the
different features which mean different things.
This PR keeps the alias that `SupportsAVX` = `SupportsSVE256 && SupportsSVE2`
but that alias is going to very quickly change its definition.
alternative to #3638. this is theoretically better for side-by-side diffs. in
practice it may make other diffs worse since all the \'s change when part of the
macro change.

This is used for instcountci to ensure instruction counts don't change
when a compiler supports this feature or not. Always runtime disable
when running in instcountci.
CMake option from #3394 can still be useful so leaving that in place.
Need #3348 merged first.
As I was casually thinking, this code made me realize that it was quite
branch heavy and could likely be optimized to logic.
The previous code generated some fairly nasty branch heavy code. This
can be optimized to be branchless and take roughly five instructions
per flag. Using a bitfield for each feature would turn each calculation
in to 3-4 instructions but that seems overkill.
Very minor thing.
While auditing our JIT to see if we have any AFP issues I noticed this.
RPRES has a hard dependency that AFP exists in order to be used, we were
hitting a case where RPRES would be enabled, but AFP is disabled by
default.
RPRES only changes behaviour when FPCR.AH is set which requires AFP.
While this doesn't affect any hardware today, it likely will in the
future.
This allows us to use reciprocal instructions which matches precision of
what x86 expects rather than converting everything to float divides.
Currently no hardware supports this, and even the upcoming X4/A720/A520
won't support it, but it was trivial to implement so wire it up.
Enables in InstCountCI so Pi users can run InstCountCI can run the tests
without breaking on crypto operations.
When crypto is enabled or disabled just wholesale change AES, CRC32, and
PMULL 128-bit in one step. We don't really care about partial support
here.
This is blocking performance improvements. This backend is almost
unilaterally unused except for when I'm testing if games run on Radeon
video drivers.
Hopefully AmpereOne and Orin/Grace can fulfill this role when they
launch next year.
It is not an external component, and it makes paths needlessly long.
Ryan seemed amenable to this when we discussed on IRC earlier.
