* arch, passt: Use executable link to form AVX2 binary pathStefano Brivio2022-07-141-10/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ...instead of argv[0], which might or might not contain a valid path to the executable itself. Instead of mangling argv[0], use the same link to find out if we're already running the AVX2 build where supported. Alternatively, we could use execvpe(), but that might result in running a different installed version, in case e.g. the set of binaries is present in both /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, with both being in $PATH.

* arch: Pointer to local outside scope, CWE-562Stefano Brivio2022-04-071-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | Reported by Coverity: if we fail to run the AVX2 version, once execve() fails, we had already replaced argv[0] with the new stack-allocated path string, and that's then passed back to main(). Use a static variable instead. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com>
* passt, pasta: Run-time selection of AVX2 buildStefano Brivio2022-02-281-0/+42
Build-time selection of AVX2 flags and routines is not practical for distributions, but limiting AVX2 usage to checksum routines with specific run-time detection doesn't allow for easy performance gains from auto-vectorisation of batched packet handling routines. For x86_64, build non-AVX2 and AVX2 binaries, and implement a simple wrapper replacing the current executable with the AVX2 build if it's available, and if AVX2 is supported by the current CPU.
