As documented here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/682969 and
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/523346. cpu_dispatch multiversioning
is an ICC feature that provides for function multiversioning.
This feature is implemented with two attributes: First, cpu_specific,
which specifies the individual function versions. Second, cpu_dispatch,
which specifies the location of the resolver function and the list of
resolvable functions.
This is valuable since it provides a mechanism where the resolver's TU
can be specified in one location, and the individual implementions
each in their own translation units.
The goal of this patch is to be source-compatible with ICC, so this
implementation diverges from the ICC implementation in a few ways:
1- Linux x86/64 only: This implementation uses ifuncs in order to
properly dispatch functions. This is is a valuable performance benefit
over the ICC implementation. A future patch will be provided to enable
this feature on Windows, but it will obviously more closely fit ICC's
implementation.
2- CPU Identification functions: ICC uses a set of custom functions to identify
the feature list of the host processor. This patch uses the cpu_supports
functionality in order to better align with 'target' multiversioning.
1- cpu_dispatch function def/decl: ICC's cpu_dispatch requires that the function
marked cpu_dispatch be an empty definition. This patch supports that as well,
however declarations are also permitted, since the linker will solve the
issue of multiple emissions.
