The original AVX patch used a function pointer to handle the difference
between machines with and without AVX support. This is insecure. A
well-placed memory exploit could lead to redirection of the execution.
Using a variable and several tests is a bit slower but cannot be
exploited in this way.
Some of the new multi-arch string functions for x86-64 were
not aligned to 16 byte boundarie,s possibly creating unnecessary
cache line misses and delays.
This patch adds SSSE3 strcpy/stpcpy. I got up to 4X speed up on Core 2
and Core i7. I disabled it on Atom since SSSE3 version is slower for
shorter (<64byte) data.
The test to call the indirect function now includes a subtest to
checked whether the symbol is defined. When coming to that point
this is almost always the case. The test for STT_GNU_IFUNC on the
other hand rarely is true. Move it to the front means we don't have
to perform the second test unless really necessary.
SO far Intel and AMD use exactly the same bits meaning the same
things in CPUID index 1. Simplify the code. Should an architecture
come along which doesn't use the same semantics then it must use a
different index value than COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_1.
If longjmp restores the stack frame to an address which is beyond
the stack frame at the time of the longjmp call it would install
an uninitialized stack frame. If compiled with _FORTIFY_SOURCE
defined, longjmp will now bail out in this situation.
