Subject: [PATCH] x86: Replace sse2 instructions with avx in
memcmp-evex-movbe.S
Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
This commit replaces two usages of SSE2 'movups' with AVX 'vmovdqu'.
it could potentially be dangerous to use SSE2 if this function is ever
called without using 'vzeroupper' beforehand. While compilers appear
to use 'vzeroupper' before function calls if AVX2 has been used, using
SSE2 here is more brittle. Since it is not absolutely necessary it
should be avoided.
It costs 2-extra bytes but the extra bytes should only eat into
alignment padding.
