The loop should be aligned to 32-bytes so that it can ideally run out
the DSB. This is particularly important on Skylake-Server where
deficiencies in it's DSB implementation make it prone to not being
able to run loops out of the DSB.
For example running strcmp-evex on 200Mb string:
32-byte aligned loop:
- 43,399,578,766 idq.dsb_uops
not 32-byte aligned loop:
- 6,060,139,704 idq.dsb_uops
This results in a 25% performance degradation for the non-aligned
version.
The fix is to just ensure the code layout is such that the loop is
aligned. (Which was previously the case but was accidentally dropped
