As long as a libjpeg instance is only used by one thread at a time, a
program is technically within its rights to call jpeg_start_*compress()
in one thread and jpeg_(read|write)_*(), with the same libjpeg instance,
in a second thread. However, because the various jsimd_can*() functions
are called within the body of jpeg_start_*compress() and simd_support is
now thread-local (due to f579cc11b3), that
led to a situation in which simd_support was initialized in the first
thread but not the second. The uninitialized value of simd_support is
0xFFFFFFFF, which the second thread interpreted to mean that it could
use any instruction set, and when it attempted to use AVX2 instructions
on a CPU that didn't support them, an illegal instruction error
occurred.
This issue was known to affect libvips.
This commit modifies the i386 and x86-64 SIMD dispatchers so that the
various jsimd_*() functions always call init_simd(), if simd_support is
uninitialized, prior to dispatching based on the value of simd_support.
Note that the other SIMD dispatchers don't need this, because only the
x86 SIMD extensions currently support multiple instruction sets.
This patch has been verified to be performance-neutral to within
+/- 0.4% with 32-bit and 64-bit code running on a 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon
W3530 and a 3.6 GHz Intel Xeon W2123.
