[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] cutils: add the AVX2 optimization

[Liang Li]

For platform that supports AVX2 instructions, use the AVX2 instructions
instead of SSE2 instructions in buffer_find_nonzero_offset() can help to
improve the performance about 30%. Zero page check during live migration
can be faster with this optimization.
