[PATCH 0/4] fix issues with using AVX-512 drivers on 32-bit

[PATCH 0/4] fix issues with using AVX-512 drivers on 32-bit

[Bruce Richardson]

The AVX-512 copy code in multiple drivers was incorrect for 32-bit as it
assumed that each pointer was always 8B in size.

[PATCH 1/4] net/i40e: fix AVX-512 pointer copy on 32-bit

[Bruce Richardson]

The size of a pointer on 32-bit is only 4 rather than 8 bytes, so
copying 32 pointers only requires half the number of AVX-512 load store
operations.

Sorry, not directly related to this series, but as I was checking some
AVX512 patch, I suspect some drivers are missing runtime checks for
availability of some AVX512 instructions:

$ for meson in $(git grep -l __AVX512[^_]*__
'drivers/**/meson.build'); do dir=$(dirname $meson); for flag in $(git
grep -ho __AVX512[^_]*__ $dir | sort -u); do flag=${flag%%__};
flag=${flag##__}; git grep -ql
rte_cpu_get_flag_enabled.RTE_CPUFLAG_$flag $dir || echo
RTE_CPUFLAG_$flag check missing in $dir; done; done

RTE_CPUFLAG_AVX512BW check missing in drivers/common/idpf
RTE_CPUFLAG_AVX512DQ check missing in drivers/common/idpf
RTE_CPUFLAG_AVX512F check missing in drivers/common/idpf
RTE_CPUFLAG_AVX512VL check missing in drivers/net/i40e
RTE_CPUFLAG_AVX512VL check missing in drivers/net/ice

Maybe some flags are implictly available... worth a confirmation from
Intel in any case from my pov.

Thanks.

I think it would be good practice to explicitly check for all the AVX-512
extensions actually used. Ideally, as a cleanup, we should probably check
for those listed (f, bw, dq and vl) once early in the config and reuse that
value throughout the build, rather than having each and every PMD
continually check them.

This simplification on the build side looks good.

On the other hand, vectorized handlers in libraries and drivers are
selected based on some AVX512 instructions availability at runtime.
Don't we need to validate *runtime* availability of each of those
instructions in each library/driver?

Yes, each lib and driver should be also checking these at runtime.
Simplification of such checks may be possible, and may be something I look
at in future, time permitting. For now, an example of the checks done can
be seen in [1].
