Subject: x86/cpufeatures: Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features

From: Gayatri Kammela <[email protected]>

commit c128dbfa0f879f8ce7b79054037889b0b2240728 upstream.

Add a few new SSE/AVX/AVX512 instruction groups/features for enumeration in /proc/cpuinfo: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG.

 CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 6]  AVX512_VBMI2
 CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 8]  GFNI
 CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 9]  VAES

CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 10] VPCLMULQDQ
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 11] AVX512_VNNI
CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 12] AVX512_BITALG

Detailed information of CPUID bits for these features can be found in the Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features Programming Interface document (refer to Table 1-1. and Table 1-2.). A copy of this document is available at
