Unimplemented x86 llvm intrinsic pcmpestrm128

[pothos]

When compiling hard-xml I noticed two warnings for a missing x86 llvm intrinsic pcmpestrm128:

warning: unsupported x86 llvm intrinsic llvm.x86.sse42.pcmpestri128; replacing with trap

Edit: And of course a huge thank you for your work and congratulations for getting it into rustup!

That is quite a complex intrinsic: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/intrinsics-guide/index.html#text=_mm_cmpestri&ig_expand=939 I don't think I will get around implementing it in the next couple of days.

And of course a huge thank you for your work and congratulations for getting it into rustup!

Implemented this using inline asm to directly call the original instruction over at https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_cranelift/tree/more_simd_intrinsics

Thanks a lot, tested it and it works :)

A fix is available on the latest nightly.

Great that you managed to merge it!

With new instruction set extensions getting published almost every year this topic never is really done, but rather a nice goal post would be to cover all instructions set extensions older than X years.
The panic unwinding is probably more generous topic in this regard and when it's done it will mostly be done (except for occasional bug reports), or?

So far I have been implementing new vendor intrinsics as people report them actually being used. There are a lot of them that basically nobody uses. Unless I know of a user to test it with, it is hard for me to be confident that I correctly implemented a intrinsic. If you find other unimplemented intrinsics that some program or library needs, please do let me know.
