- OpenSSL supports a range of x86[_64] instruction set extensions. These
- extensions are denoted by individual bits in capability vector returned
- by processor in \s-1EDX:ECX\s0 register pair after executing \s-1CPUID\s0 instruction
- with EAX=1 input value (see Intel Application Note #241618). This vector
- is copied to memory upon toolkit initialization and used to choose
- between different code paths to provide optimal performance across wide
- range of processors. For the moment of this writing following bits are
- significant:

- For example, in 32\-bit application context clearing bit #26 at run-time
- disables high-performance \s-1SSE2\s0 code present in the crypto library, while
- clearing bit #24 disables \s-1SSE2\s0 code operating on 128\-bit \s-1XMM\s0 register
- bank. You might have to do the latter if target OpenSSL application is
- executed on \s-1SSE2\s0 capable \s-1CPU,\s0 but under control of \s-1OS\s0 that does not
- enable \s-1XMM\s0 registers. Historically address of the capability vector copy
- was exposed to application through \fBOPENSSL_ia32cap_loc()\fR, but not
- anymore. Now the only way to affect the capability detection is to set
- \&\fBOPENSSL_ia32cap\fR environment variable prior target application start. To
- give a specific example, on Intel P4 processor
- \&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x16980010 apps/openssl\*(C'\fR, or better yet
- \&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x1000000 apps/openssl\*(C'\fR would achieve the desired
- effect. Alternatively you can reconfigure the toolkit with no\-sse2
- option and recompile.
- .PP
- Less intuitive is clearing bit #28, or ~0x10000000 in the \*(L"environment
- variable\*(R" terms. The truth is that it's not copied from \s-1CPUID\s0 output
- verbatim, but is adjusted to reflect whether or not the data cache is
- actually shared between logical cores. This in turn affects the decision
- on whether or not expensive countermeasures against cache-timing attacks
- are applied, most notably in \s-1AES\s0 assembler module.
- .PP
- The capability vector is further extended with \s-1EBX\s0 value returned by
- \&\s-1CPUID\s0 with EAX=7 and ECX=0 as input. Following bits are significant:

- To control this extended capability word use \f(CW\*(C`:\*(C'\fR as delimiter when
- setting up \fBOPENSSL_ia32cap\fR environment variable. For example assigning
- \&\f(CW\*(C`:~0x20\*(C'\fR would disable \s-1AVX2\s0 code paths, and \f(CW\*(C`:0\*(C'\fR \- all post-AVX
- extensions.
