Subject: [PATCH 1/3] zstd: use ZSTD_cpuSupportsBmi2() in ZSTD_initStaticCCtx()
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 05:25:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826122558.2662013-2-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826122558.2662013-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
ZSTD_initStaticCCtx() open-codes its BMI2 probe as
ZSTD_cpuid_bmi2(ZSTD_cpuid()). Every other context setup -
ZSTD_initCCtx() and ZSTD_initDCtx_internal() - goes through
ZSTD_cpuSupportsBmi2(), which requires BMI1 as well as BMI2.
Requiring both is the correct test. The alternate function bodies the
flag selects are tagged BMI2_TARGET_ATTRIBUTE, which is
TARGET_ATTRIBUTE("lzcnt,bmi,bmi2"), so the compiler may emit BMI1 and
LZCNT instructions in them; BMI2 alone does not make that safe. No
shipping x86 CPU implements BMI2 without BMI1, so this is a latent
inconsistency rather than an observed failure.
Route the static path through the same helper. That also leaves a
single place where the probe is issued, which the following patches
build on.
No functional change on any CPU in the field.
