From 5bcf6265f215326d14dfacdce8532792c2c7f8f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Noah Goldstein Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2024 16:19:17 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Disable non-temporal memset on Skylake Server The original commit enabling non-temporal memset on Skylake Server had erroneous benchmarks (actually done on ICX). Further benchmarks indicate non-temporal stores may in fact by a regression on Skylake Server. This commit may be over-cautious in some cases, but should avoid any regressions for 2.40. Tested using qemu on all x86_64 cpu arch supported by both qemu + GLIBC. Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie Reviewed-by: H.J.
