x86-64: Improve EVEX strcmp with masked load
In strcmp-evex.S, to compare 2 32-byte strings, replace
VMOVU (%rdi, %rdx), %YMM0
VMOVU (%rsi, %rdx), %YMM1
/* Each bit in K0 represents a mismatch in YMM0 and YMM1. */
VPCMP $4, %YMM0, %YMM1, %k0
VPCMP $0, %YMMZERO, %YMM0, %k1
VPCMP $0, %YMMZERO, %YMM1, %k2
/* Each bit in K1 represents a NULL in YMM0 or YMM1. */
kord %k1, %k2, %k1
/* Each bit in K1 represents a NULL or a mismatch. */
kord %k0, %k1, %k1
kmovd %k1, %ecx
testl %ecx, %ecx
jne L(last_vector)
with
VMOVU (%rdi, %rdx), %YMM0
VPTESTM %YMM0, %YMM0, %k2
/* Each bit cleared in K1 represents a mismatch or a null CHAR
in YMM0 and 32 bytes at (%rsi, %rdx). */
VPCMP $0, (%rsi, %rdx), %YMM0, %k1{%k2}
kmovd %k1, %ecx
incl %ecx
jne L(last_vector)
It makes EVEX strcmp faster than AVX2 strcmp by up to 40% on Tiger Lake
and Ice Lake.
