These extensions are denoted by individual bits in capability vector returned by processor in \s-1EDX:ECX\s0 register pair after executing \s-1CPUID\s0 instruction with EAX=1 input value (see Intel Application Note #241618). This vector is copied to memory upon toolkit initialization and used to choose between different code paths to provide optimal performance across wide range of processors. For the moment of this writing following bits are significant: .IP "bit #4 denoting presence of Time-Stamp Counter." 4 .IX Item "bit #4 denoting presence of Time-Stamp Counter." .PD 0 .IP "bit #19 denoting availability of \s-1CLFLUSH\s0 instruction;" 4 .IX Item "bit #19 denoting availability of CLFLUSH instruction;" .IP "bit #20, reserved by Intel, is used to choose among \s-1RC4\s0 code paths;" 4 .IX Item "bit #20, reserved by Intel, is used to choose among RC4 code paths;" .IP "bit #23 denoting \s-1MMX\s0 support;" 4 .IX Item "bit #23 denoting MMX support;" .IP "bit #24, \s-1FXSR\s0 bit, denoting availability of \s-1XMM\s0 registers;" 4 .IX Item "bit #24, FXSR bit, denoting availability of XMM registers;" .IP "bit #25 denoting \s-1SSE\s0 support;" 4 .IX Item "bit #25 denoting SSE support;" .IP "bit #26 denoting \s-1SSE2\s0 support;" 4 .IX Item "bit #26 denoting SSE2 support;" .IP "bit #28 denoting Hyperthreading, which is used to distinguish cores with shared cache;" 4 .IX Item "bit #28 denoting Hyperthreading, which is used to distinguish cores with shared cache;" .IP "bit #30, reserved by Intel, denotes specifically Intel CPUs;" 4 .IX Item "bit #30, reserved by Intel, denotes specifically Intel CPUs;" .IP "bit #33 denoting availability of \s-1PCLMULQDQ\s0 instruction;" 4 .IX Item "bit #33 denoting availability of PCLMULQDQ instruction;" .IP "bit #41 denoting \s-1SSSE3,\s0 Supplemental \s-1SSE3,\s0 support;" 4 .IX Item "bit #41 denoting SSSE3, Supplemental SSE3, support;" .IP "bit #43 denoting \s-1AMD XOP\s0 support (forced to zero on non-AMD CPUs);" 4 .IX Item "bit #43 denoting AMD XOP support (forced to zero on non-AMD CPUs);" .IP "bit #54 denoting availability of \s-1MOVBE\s0 instruction;" 4 .IX Item "bit #54 denoting availability of MOVBE instruction;" .IP "bit #57 denoting AES-NI instruction set extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #57 denoting AES-NI instruction set extension;" .IP "bit #58, \s-1XSAVE\s0 bit, lack of which in combination with \s-1MOVBE\s0 is used to identify Atom Silvermont core;" 4 .IX Item "bit #58, XSAVE bit, lack of which in combination with MOVBE is used to identify Atom Silvermont core;" .IP "bit #59, \s-1OSXSAVE\s0 bit, denoting availability of \s-1YMM\s0 registers;" 4 .IX Item "bit #59, OSXSAVE bit, denoting availability of YMM registers;" .IP "bit #60 denoting \s-1AVX\s0 extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #60 denoting AVX extension;" .IP "bit #62 denoting availability of \s-1RDRAND\s0 instruction;" 4 .IX Item "bit #62 denoting availability of RDRAND instruction;" .PD .PP For example, in 32\-bit application context clearing bit #26 at run-time disables high-performance \s-1SSE2\s0 code present in the crypto library, while clearing bit #24 disables \s-1SSE2\s0 code operating on 128\-bit \s-1XMM\s0 register bank. You might have to do the latter if target OpenSSL application is executed on \s-1SSE2\s0 capable \s-1CPU,\s0 but under control of \s-1OS\s0 that does not enable \s-1XMM\s0 registers. Historically address of the capability vector copy was exposed to application through \fIOPENSSL_ia32cap_loc()\fR, but not anymore. Now the only way to affect the capability detection is to set OPENSSL_ia32cap environment variable prior target application start. To give a specific example, on Intel P4 processor 'env OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x16980010 apps/openssl', or better yet 'env OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x1000000 apps/openssl' would achieve the desired effect. Alternatively you can reconfigure the toolkit with no\-sse2 option and recompile. .PP Less intuitive is clearing bit #28, or ~0x10000000 in the \*(L"environment variable\*(R" terms. The truth is that it's not copied from \s-1CPUID\s0 output verbatim, but is adjusted to reflect whether or not the data cache is actually shared between logical cores. This in turn affects the decision on whether or not expensive countermeasures against cache-timing attacks are applied, most notably in \s-1AES\s0 assembler module. .PP The capability vector is further extended with \s-1EBX\s0 value returned by \&\s-1CPUID\s0 with EAX=7 and ECX=0 as input. Following bits are significant: .IP "bit #64+3 denoting availability of \s-1BMI1\s0 instructions, e.g. \s-1ANDN\s0;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+3 denoting availability of BMI1 instructions, e.g. ANDN;" .PD 0 .IP "bit #64+5 denoting availability of \s-1AVX2\s0 instructions;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+5 denoting availability of AVX2 instructions;" .IP "bit #64+8 denoting availability of \s-1BMI2\s0 instructions, e.g. \s-1MULX\s0 and \s-1RORX\s0;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+8 denoting availability of BMI2 instructions, e.g. MULX and RORX;" .IP "bit #64+16 denoting availability of \s-1AVX512F\s0 extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+16 denoting availability of AVX512F extension;" .IP "bit #64+18 denoting availability of \s-1RDSEED\s0 instruction;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+18 denoting availability of RDSEED instruction;" .IP "bit #64+19 denoting availability of \s-1ADCX\s0 and \s-1ADOX\s0 instructions;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+19 denoting availability of ADCX and ADOX instructions;" .IP "bit #64+21 denoting availability of VPMADD52[\s-1LH\s0]UQ instructions, aka \s-1AVX512IFMA\s0 extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+21 denoting availability of VPMADD52[LH]UQ instructions, aka AVX512IFMA extension;" .IP "bit #64+29 denoting availability of \s-1SHA\s0 extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+29 denoting availability of SHA extension;" .IP "bit #64+30 denoting availability of \s-1AVX512BW\s0 extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+30 denoting availability of AVX512BW extension;" .IP "bit #64+31 denoting availability of \s-1AVX512VL\s0 extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+31 denoting availability of AVX512VL extension;" .IP "bit #64+41 denoting availability of \s-1VAES\s0 extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+41 denoting availability of VAES extension;" .IP "bit #64+42 denoting availability of \s-1VPCLMULQDQ\s0 extension;" 4 .IX Item "bit #64+42 denoting availability of VPCLMULQDQ extension;" .PD .PP To control this extended capability word use ':' as delimiter when setting up OPENSSL_ia32cap environment variable. For example assigning \&':~0x20' would disable \s-1AVX2\s0 code paths, and ':0' \- all post-AVX extensions. .PP It should be noted that whether or not some of the most \*(L"fancy\*(R" extension code paths are actually assembled depends on current assembler version. Base minimum of \s-1AES\-NI/PCLMULQDQ, SSSE3\s0 and \s-1SHA\s0 extension code paths are always assembled. Apart from that, minimum assembler version requirements are summarized in below table: .PP .Vb 8 \& Extension | GNU as | nasm | llvm \& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \& AVX | 2.19 | 2.09 | 3.0 \& AVX2 | 2.22 | 2.10 | 3.1 \& ADCX/ADOX | 2.23 | 2.10 | 3.3 \& AVX512 | 2.25 | 2.11.8 | see NOTES \& AVX512IFMA | 2.26 | 2.11.8 | see NOTES \& VAES | 2.30 | 2.13.3 | .Ve .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" Even though \s-1AVX512\s0 support was implemented in llvm 3.6, compilation of assembly modules apparently requires explicit \-march flag. But then compiler generates processor-specific code, which in turn contradicts the mere idea of run-time switch execution facilitated by the variable in question. Till the limitation is lifted, it's possible to work around the problem by making build procedure use following script: .PP .Vb 2 \& #!/bin/sh \& exec clang \-no\-integrated\-as "$@" .Ve .PP instead of real clang. In which case it doesn't matter which clang version is used, as it is \s-1GNU\s0 assembler version that will be checked. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" Not available. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2004\-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
