x86: Fix Haswell CPU string flags (BZ#23709)
Th commit 'Disable TSX on some Haswell processors.' (2702856bf4) changed the default flags for Haswell models. Previously, new models were handled by the default switch path, which assumed a Core i3/i5/i7 if AVX is available. After the patch, Haswell models (0x3f, 0x3c, 0x45, 0x46) do not set the flags Fast_Rep_String, Fast_Unaligned_Load, Fast_Unaligned_Copy, and Prefer_PMINUB_for_stringop (only the TSX one). This patch fixes it by disentangle the TSX flag handling from the memory optimization ones. The strstr case cited on patch now selects the __strstr_sse2_unaligned as expected for the Haswell cpu. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. [BZ #23709] * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Set TSX bits independently of other flags. (cherry picked from commit c3d8dc45c9df199b8334599a6cbd98c9950dba62) (cherry picked from commit 65010329f2c596bdd1204c1c9c9baac0193637af) Signed-off-by: Andreas K. Hüttel <dilfridge@gentoo.org>
