.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Value returned by \fBOPENSSL_ia32cap_loc()\fR is address of a variable
containing \s-1IA\-32\s0 processor capabilities bit vector as it appears in
\&\s-1EDX:ECX\s0 register pair after executing \s-1CPUID\s0 instruction with EAX=1
input value (see Intel Application Note #241618). Naturally it's
meaningful on x86 and x86_64 platforms only. The variable is normally
set up automatically upon toolkit initialization, but can be
manipulated afterwards to modify crypto library behaviour. For the
moment of this writing following bits are significant:

For example, 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. Even though you can manipulate the value programmatically,
you most likely will find it more appropriate to set up an environment
variable with the same name prior starting target application, e.g. on
Intel P4 processor 'env OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x16980010 apps/openssl', or
better yet 'env OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x1000000 apps/openssl' to achieve same
effect without modifying the application source code. Alternatively you
can reconfigure the toolkit with no\-sse2 option and recompile.
.PP
Less intuitive is clearing bit #28. 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 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:
.IP "bit #64+3 denoting availability of \s-1BMI1\s0 instructions, e.g. \s-1ANDN\s0;" 4

.IX Item "bit #64+8 denoting availability of BMI2 instructions, e.g. MUXL and RORX;"
