Subject: [PATCH 2/3] zstd: skip the BMI2 probe when dynamic BMI2 dispatch is disabled
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 05:25:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826122558.2662013-3-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826122558.2662013-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
When DYNAMIC_BMI2 is 0 - GCC older than 11, a non-x86 target, or a build
that already has BMI2 on globally - nothing reads the flag.
HUF_compress1X_usingCTable_internal(), FSE_decompress_wksp_bmi2(),
HUF_readStats_body() and the rest all resolve to the default body
without consulting it. ZSTD_cpuSupportsBmi2() nevertheless issues
CPUID, which on x86 is two serializing instructions, and throws the
answer away.
ZSTD_initDCtx_internal() already wraps its assignment in
#if DYNAMIC_BMI2 - it has to, because the dctx->bmi2 field is itself
declared under that #if. The two compress-side callers have no such
guard, and ZSTD_CCtx_s::bmi2 is unconditional, so they probe
unconditionally.
Put the test inside ZSTD_cpuSupportsBmi2() so every caller gets it
without having to remember.
