According to Intel's manual [1], "If a value entered for CPUID.EAX is
higher than the maximum input value for basic or extended function for
that processor then the data for the highest basic information leaf is
returned."
Right now, libjpeg-turbo doesn't first check that leaf 07H is supported
before attempting to use it, so the ostensible AVX2 bit (Bit 05) of the
CPUID result might actually be Bit 05 from a lower leaf. That bit might
be set, even if the CPU doesn't support AVX2.
This commit modifies the x86 and x86-64 SIMD feature detection code so
that it first checks whether CPUID leaf 07H is supported before
attempting to use it to check for AVX2 instruction support.
DRC:
This commit should fix
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520760
However, I have not personally been able to reproduce that issue,
despite using a Nehalem (pre-AVX2) CPU on which the maximum CPUID leaf
has been limited via a BIOS setting.

Apparently Windows 7 without SP1 has O/S support for XSAVE but not for
YMM registers, and this exposed a bug in our usage of xgetbv. The test
instruction will set ZF only if none of the bits match between the two
operarands, so in effect, we were enabling AVX2 instructions if the O/S
supported XSAVE and the CPU supported AVX2 but the O/S only supported
XMM registers. This bug was not exposed on, for instance, Windows XP or
RHEL 5 because those O/S's do not support XSAVE.
Fixes#288
With rare exceptions ...
- Always separate line continuation characters by one space from
preceding code.
- Always use two-space indentation. Never use tabs.
- Always use K&R-style conditional blocks.
- Always surround operators with spaces, except in raw assembly code.
- Always put a space after, but not before, a comma.
- Never put a space between type casts and variables/function calls.
- Never put a space between the function name and the argument list in
function declarations and prototypes.
- Always surround braces ('{' and '}') with spaces.
- Always surround statements (if, for, else, catch, while, do, switch)
with spaces.
- Always attach pointer symbols ('*' and '**') to the variable or
function name.
- Always precede pointer symbols ('*' and '**') by a space in type
casts.
- Use the MIN() macro from jpegint.h within the libjpeg and TurboJPEG
API libraries (using min() from tjutil.h is still necessary for
TJBench.)
- Where it makes sense (particularly in the TurboJPEG code), put a blank
line after variable declaration blocks.
- Always separate statements in one-liners by two spaces.
The purpose of this was to ease maintenance on my part and also to make
it easier for contributors to figure out how to format patch
submissions. This was admittedly confusing (even to me sometimes) when
we had 3 or 4 different style conventions in the same source tree. The
new convention is more consistent with the formatting of other OSS code
bases.
This commit corrects deviations from the chosen formatting style in the
libjpeg API code and reformats the TurboJPEG API code such that it
conforms to the same standard.
NOTES:
- Although it is no longer necessary for the function name in function
declarations to begin in Column 1 (this was historically necessary
because of the ansi2knr utility, which allowed libjpeg to be built
with non-ANSI compilers), we retain that formatting for the libjpeg
code because it improves readability when using libjpeg's function
attribute macros (GLOBAL(), etc.)
- This reformatting project was accomplished with the help of AStyle and
Uncrustify, although neither was completely up to the task, and thus
a great deal of manual tweaking was required. Note to developers of
code formatting utilities: the libjpeg-turbo code base is an
excellent test bed, because AFAICT, it breaks every single one of the
utilities that are currently available.
- The legacy (MMX, SSE, 3DNow!) assembly code for i386 has been
formatted to match the SSE2 code (refer to
ff5685d5344273df321eb63a005eaae19d2496e3.) I hadn't intended to
bother with this, but the Loongson MMI implementation demonstrated
that there is still academic value to the MMX implementation, as an
algorithmic model for other 64-bit vector implementations. Thus, it
is desirable to improve its readability in the same manner as that of
the SSE2 implementation.
