Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: Remove Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP
190885
190885
Remove Prefer_AVX2_STRCMP to enable EVEX strcmp.  When comparing 2 32-byte
190885
strings, EVEX strcmp has been improved to require 1 load, 1 VPTESTM, 1
190885
VPCMP, 1 KMOVD and 1 INCL instead of 2 loads, 3 VPCMPs, 2 KORDs, 1 KMOVD
190885
and 1 TESTL while AVX2 strcmp requires 1 load, 2 VPCMPEQs, 1 VPMINU, 1
190885
VPMOVMSKB and 1 TESTL.  EVEX strcmp is now faster than AVX2 strcmp by up
190885
to 40% on Tiger Lake and Ice Lake.
190885
190885
(cherry picked from commit 14dbbf46a007ae5df36646b51ad0c9e5f5259f30)
