Commit Message

Richard Henderson April 8, 2024, 5:49 p.m. UTC 
From: Alexander Monakov <amonakov@ispras.ru>

Increase unroll factor in SIMD loops from 4x to 8x in order to move
their bottlenecks from ALU port contention to load issue rate (two loads
per cycle on popular x86 implementations).

Avoid using out-of-bounds pointers in loop boundary conditions.

Follow SSE2 implementation strategy in the AVX2 variant. Avoid use of
PTEST, which is not profitable there (like in the removed SSE4 variant).
