Overview ▾

Package cpu implements processor feature detection used by the Go standard library.

Constants

const CacheLinePadSize = 64
const GOARCH = "amd64"

Variables

The booleans in ARM contain the correspondingly named cpu feature bit. The struct is padded to avoid false sharing.

var ARM struct {
    HasVFPv4 bool
    HasIDIVA bool
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

The booleans in ARM64 contain the correspondingly named cpu feature bit. The struct is padded to avoid false sharing.

var ARM64 struct {
    HasAES       bool
    HasPMULL     bool
    HasSHA1      bool
    HasSHA2      bool
    HasCRC32     bool
    HasATOMICS   bool
    HasCPUID     bool
    IsNeoverseN1 bool
    IsZeus       bool
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CacheLineSize is the CPU's assumed cache line size. There is currently no runtime detection of the real cache line size so we use the constant per GOARCH CacheLinePadSize as an approximation.

var CacheLineSize uintptr = CacheLinePadSize

DebugOptions is set to true by the runtime if the OS supports reading GODEBUG early in runtime startup. This should not be changed after it is initialized.

var DebugOptions bool
var MIPS64X struct {
    HasMSA bool // MIPS SIMD architecture
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

For ppc64(le), it is safe to check only for ISA level starting on ISA v3.00, since there are no optional categories. There are some exceptions that also require kernel support to work (darn, scv), so there are feature bits for those as well. The minimum processor requirement is POWER8 (ISA 2.07). The struct is padded to avoid false sharing.

var PPC64 struct {
    HasDARN  bool // Hardware random number generator (requires kernel enablement)
    HasSCV   bool // Syscall vectored (requires kernel enablement)
    IsPOWER8 bool // ISA v2.07 (POWER8)
    IsPOWER9 bool // ISA v3.00 (POWER9)
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}
var S390X struct {
    HasZARCH  bool // z architecture mode is active [mandatory]
    HasSTFLE  bool // store facility list extended [mandatory]
    HasLDISP  bool // long (20-bit) displacements [mandatory]
    HasEIMM   bool // 32-bit immediates [mandatory]
    HasDFP    bool // decimal floating point
    HasETF3EH bool // ETF-3 enhanced
    HasMSA    bool // message security assist (CPACF)
    HasAES    bool // KM-AES{128,192,256} functions
    HasAESCBC bool // KMC-AES{128,192,256} functions
    HasAESCTR bool // KMCTR-AES{128,192,256} functions
    HasAESGCM bool // KMA-GCM-AES{128,192,256} functions
    HasGHASH  bool // KIMD-GHASH function
    HasSHA1   bool // K{I,L}MD-SHA-1 functions
    HasSHA256 bool // K{I,L}MD-SHA-256 functions
    HasSHA512 bool // K{I,L}MD-SHA-512 functions
    HasSHA3   bool // K{I,L}MD-SHA3-{224,256,384,512} and K{I,L}MD-SHAKE-{128,256} functions
    HasVX     bool // vector facility. Note: the runtime sets this when it processes auxv records.
    HasVXE    bool // vector-enhancements facility 1
    HasKDSA   bool // elliptic curve functions
    HasECDSA  bool // NIST curves
    HasEDDSA  bool // Edwards curves
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

The booleans in X86 contain the correspondingly named cpuid feature bit. HasAVX and HasAVX2 are only set if the OS does support XMM and YMM registers in addition to the cpuid feature bit being set. The struct is padded to avoid false sharing.

var X86 struct {
    HasAES       bool
    HasADX       bool
    HasAVX       bool
    HasAVX2      bool
    HasBMI1      bool
    HasBMI2      bool
    HasERMS      bool
    HasFMA       bool
    HasOSXSAVE   bool
    HasPCLMULQDQ bool
    HasPOPCNT    bool
    HasSSE2      bool
    HasSSE3      bool
    HasSSSE3     bool
    HasSSE41     bool
    HasSSE42     bool
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func Initialize

func Initialize(env string)

Initialize examines the processor and sets the relevant variables above. This is called by the runtime package early in program initialization, before normal init functions are run. env is set by runtime if the OS supports cpu feature options in GODEBUG.

func Name

func Name() string

Name returns the CPU name given by the vendor. If the CPU name can not be determined an empty string is returned.

type CacheLinePad

CacheLinePad is used to pad structs to avoid false sharing.

type CacheLinePad struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}
