Perhaps I was too optimistic about adding support for newer instructions... I'm tempted to propose that we move forward with this patch as-is after adding a buildfarm machine that compiles with -mavx2 or -march=x86-64-v3. There is likely still follow-up work to make these improvements more accessible, but I'm not sure that is a strict prerequisite here. (In case it isn't clear, I'm volunteering to set up such a buildfarm machine.) -- Nathan Bossart Amazon Web Services: https://aws.amazon.com
