Ahhh, how could I forget that his manuals have data for those cores too. Thanks
for the reminder! This solves the conundrum nicely:
AMD Jaguar ('btver2' in GCC): int/fp division is not pipelined, separate int/fp
dividers;
AMD Bulldozer, Steamroller ('bdver1', 'bdver3'): int division is not pipelined
(one divider), fp division is slightly pipelined (two independent dividers);
Zhaoxin Lujiazui appears to use the same divider as VIA Nano 3000, which is not
pipelined.
So it's already enough to produce a decent patch.
> How do you test it?
For AMD Zen patches I was using measurements by Andreas Abel (
https://uops.info/table_overview.html ) and running a few experiments myself by
coding loops in NASM and timing them with 'perf stat' on a Zen 2 CPU.
