Depending on architecture and function, an enhanced implementation of a function may either always be used or the .Em libc detects at runtime which SIMD instruction set extensions are supported and picks the most suitable implementation automatically. On .Cm amd64 , the environment variable .Ev ARCHLEVEL can be used to override this mechanism. .Pp -Enhanced functions are present in the following architectures: +Enhanced functions are present for the following architectures: .Bl -column FUNCTION_________ aarch64_ arm_ amd64_ i386_ ppc64_ -offset indent .It Em FUNCTION Ta Em AARCH64 Ta Em ARM Ta Em AMD64 Ta Em I386 Ta Em PPC64 .It bcmp Ta Ta Ta S1 Ta S .It bcopy Ta Ta S Ta S Ta S Ta SV .It bzero Ta Ta S Ta S Ta S .It div Ta Ta Ta S Ta S .It index Ta S Ta Ta S1 .It ldiv Ta Ta Ta S Ta S .It lldiv Ta Ta Ta S .It memchr Ta Ta Ta S1 .It memcmp Ta Ta S Ta S1 Ta S .It memcpy Ta S Ta S Ta S Ta S Ta SV .It memmove Ta S Ta S Ta S Ta S Ta SV .It memset Ta Ta S Ta S Ta S .It rindex Ta S Ta Ta S1 Ta S .It stpcpy Ta Ta Ta S1 .It stpncpy Ta Ta Ta S1 -.It strcat Ta Ta Ta S Ta S +.It strcat Ta Ta Ta S1 Ta S .It strchr Ta S Ta Ta S1 Ta S .It strchrnul Ta Ta Ta S1 .It strcmp Ta Ta S Ta S1 Ta S .It strcpy Ta Ta Ta S1 Ta S Ta S2 .It strcspn Ta Ta Ta S2 .It strlen Ta Ta S Ta S1 .It strncmp Ta Ta S Ta S1 Ta S .It strncpy Ta Ta Ta S1 Ta Ta S2 .It strnlen Ta Ta Ta S1 .It strrchr Ta S Ta Ta S1 Ta S .It strpbrk Ta Ta Ta S2 .It strsep Ta Ta Ta S2 .It strspn Ta Ta Ta S2 .It swab Ta Ta Ta Ta S .It timingsafe_bcmp Ta Ta Ta S1 .It timingsafe_memcmp Ta Ta Ta S .It wcschr Ta Ta Ta Ta S .It wcscmp Ta Ta Ta Ta S .It wcslen Ta Ta Ta Ta S .It wmemchr Ta Ta Ta Ta S .El .Pp .Sy S Ns :\ scalar (non-SIMD), .Sy 1 Ns :\ amd64 baseline, .Sy 2 Ns :\ x86-64-v2 or PowerPC\ 2.05, .Sy 3 Ns :\ x86-64-v3, .Sy 4 Ns :\ x86-64-v4, .Sy V Ns :\ PowerPC\ VSX. . .Sh ENVIRONMENT .Bl -tag .It Ev ARCHLEVEL On .Em amd64 , controls the level of SIMD enhancements used. If this variable is set to an architecture level from the list below and that architecture level is supported by the processor, SIMD enhancements up to .Ev ARCHLEVEL are used. If .Ev ARCHLEVEL is unset, not recognised, or not supported by the processor, the highest level of SIMD enhancements supported by the processor is used. .Pp A suffix beginning with .Sq ":" or .Sq "+" in .Ev ARCHLEVEL is ignored and may be used for future extensions. The architecture level can be prefixed with a .Sq "!" character to force use of the requested architecture level, even if the processor does not advertise that it is supported. This usually causes applications to crash and should only be used for testing purposes or if architecture level detection yields incorrect results. .Pp The architecture levels follow the AMD64 SysV ABI supplement: .Bl -tag -width x86-64-v2 .It Cm scalar scalar enhancements only (no SIMD) .It Cm baseline cmov, cx8, x87 FPU, fxsr, MMX, osfxsr, SSE, SSE2 .It Cm x86-64-v2 cx16, lahf/sahf, popcnt, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2 .It Cm x86-64-v3 AVX, AVX2, BMI1, BMI2, F16C, FMA, lzcnt, movbe, osxsave .It Cm x86-64-v4 AVX-512F/BW/CD/DQ/VL .El .El . .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Bl -diag .It "Illegal Instruction" Printed by .Xr sh 1 if a command is terminated through delivery of a .Dv SIGILL signal, see .Xr signal 3 . .Pp Use of an unsupported architecture level was forced by setting .Ev ARCHLEVEL to a string beginning with a .Sq "!" character, causing a process to crash due to use of an unsupported instruction. Unset .Ev ARCHLEVEL , remove the .Sq "!" prefix or select a supported architecture level. .Pp Message may also appear for unrelated reasons. .El . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr string 3 , .Xr arch 7 .Rs .%A H. J.

SIMD-enhanced functions were first added with .Fx 13.0 for .Cm powerpc64 and with .Fx 14.1 for .Cm amd64 . .Pp A .Nm manual page appeared in -.Fx 14.0 . +.Fx 14.1 . . .Sh AUTHOR .An Robert Clausecker Aq Mt fuz@FreeBSD.org . .Sh CAVEATS Other parts of .Fx such as cryptographic routines in the kernel or in OpenSSL may also use SIMD enhancements. These enhancements are not subject to the .Ev ARCHLEVEL variable and may have their own configuration mechanism. . .Sh BUGS Use of SIMD enhancements cannot be configured on powerpc64.
