This re-spins #3869 with some additional copy unrolling which helps maintain SYRK performance.
After #3868, the SVE kernels represent a pretty good boost.
This re-uses ARMV8SVE as a base and I'm going to incrementally move everything to use ARMV8SVE in additional patches (as well as fix up anything that's not already in ARMV8SVE).
Previously dynamic builds were either using the default SWITCH_RATIO
or one from the higher level architecture; this patch ensures the
dynamic builds can use this parameter as well.
This is a precursor to enabling the SVE kernels for Arm(R) Neoverse(TM)
V1 which has 256-bit SVE. Testing revealed that the SVE kernel was
actually worse in some cases than the existing kernel which seemed odd -
removing these prefetches the underlying architecture seems to do a better job
😸
Unlike [dcz]scal, sscal still used the original GotoBLAS SSE code from scal_sse.S.
This code follows dscal as closely as possible, except for the inc_x > 1 code
for which a plain C loop is used much like the one in cscal.c, instead of an
adaptation of the SSE2 asm code of dscal.c (I tried but the performance wasn't
better than the plain C loop).
Using 256-bit registers in dscal makes this microkernel consistent with
cscal and zscal, and generally doubles performance if the vector fits in
L1 cache.
This adds an SVE implementation to sdot/ddot when available, falling back to the previous Advanced SIMD kernel where there's no SVE implementation for the kernel.
All the targets were essentially treating `dot_thunderx2t99.c` as the Advanced SIMD implementation so I've renamed it to better fit with the feature detection.
The existing kernel was issuing extra instructions to organise the arguments into the same registers they would usually be in and similarly to put the result into the appropriate register.
This has an impact on smaller sized dots and seemed like a quick fix
