Summary:
**Background** - runtime detection of certain x86 CPU features was added for optimizing CRC32c checksums, where performance is dramatically affected by the availability of certain CPU instructions and code using intrinsics for those instructions. And Java builds with native library try to be broadly compatible but performant.
What has changed is that CRC32c is no longer the most efficient cheecksum on contemporary x86_64 hardware, nor the default checksum. XXH3 is generally faster and not as dramatically impacted by the availability of certain CPU instructions. For example, on my Skylake system using db_bench (similar on an older Skylake system without AVX512):
PORTABLE=1 empty USE_SSE : xxh3->8 GB/s crc32c->0.8 GB/s (no SSE4.2 nor AVX2 instructions)
PORTABLE=1 USE_SSE=1 : xxh3->19 GB/s crc32c->16 GB/s (with SSE4.2 and AVX2)
PORTABLE=0 USE_SSE ignored: xxh3->28 GB/s crc32c->16 GB/s (also some AVX512)
Testing a ~10 year old system, with SSE4.2 but without AVX2, crc32c is a similar speed to the new systems but xxh3 is only about half that speed, also 8GB/s like the non-AVX2 compile above. Given that xxh3 has specific optimization for AVX2, I think we can infer that that crc32c is only fastest for that ~2008-2013 period when SSE4.2 was included but not AVX2. And given that xxh3 is only about 2x slower on these systems (not like >10x slower for unoptimized crc32c), I don't think we need to invest too much in optimally adapting to these old cases.
x86 hardware that doesn't support fast CRC32c is now extremely rare, so requiring a custom build to support such hardware is fine IMHO.
**This change** does two related things:
* Remove runtime CPU detection for optimizing CRC32c on x86. Maintaining this code is non-zero work, and compiling special code that doesn't work on the configured target instruction set for code generation is always dubious. (On the one hand we have to ensure the CRC32c code uses SSE4.2 but on the other hand we have to ensure nothing else does.)
* Detect CPU features in source code, not in build scripts. Although there are some hypothetical advantages to detectiong in build scripts (compiler generality), RocksDB supports at least three build systems: make, cmake, and buck. It's not practical to support feature detection on all three, and we have suffered from missed optimization opportunities by relying on missing or incomplete detection in cmake and buck. We also depend on some components like xxhash that do source code detection anyway.
**In more detail:**
* `HAVE_SSE42`, `HAVE_AVX2`, and `HAVE_PCLMUL` replaced by standard macros `__SSE4_2__`, `__AVX2__`, and `__PCLMUL__`.
* MSVC does not provide high fidelity defines for SSE, PCLMUL, or POPCNT, but we can infer those from `__AVX__` or `__AVX2__` in a compatibility header. In rare cases of false negative or false positive feature detection, a build engineer should be able to set defines to work around the issue.
* `__POPCNT__` is another standard define, but we happen to only need it on MSVC, where it is set by that compatibility header, or can be set by the build engineer.
* `PORTABLE` can be set to a CPU type, e.g. "haswell", to compile for that CPU type.
* `USE_SSE` is deprecated, now equivalent to PORTABLE=haswell, which roughly approximates its old behavior.
Notably, this change should enable more builds to use the AVX2-optimized Bloom filter implementation.

Test Plan:
existing tests, CI
Manual performance tests after the change match the before above (none expected with make build).
We also see AVX2 optimized Bloom filter code enabled when expected, by injecting a compiler error. (Performance difference is not big on my current CPU.)

Summary:
In PR https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7523 , checksum handoff is introduced in RocksDB for WAL, Manifest, and SST files. When user enable checksum handoff for a certain type of file, before the data is written to the lower layer storage system, we calculate the checksum (crc32c) of each piece of data and pass the checksum down with the data, such that data verification can be down by the lower layer storage system if it has the capability. However, it cannot cover the whole lifetime of the data in the memory and also it potentially introduces extra checksum calculation overhead.
In this PR, we introduce a new interface in WritableFileWriter::Append, which allows the caller be able to pass the data and the checksum (crc32c) together. In this way, WritableFileWriter can directly use the pass-in checksum (crc32c) to generate the checksum of data being passed down to the storage system. It saves the calculation overhead and achieves higher protection coverage. When a new checksum is added with the data, we use Crc32cCombine https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/8305 to combine the existing checksum and the new checksum. To avoid the segmenting of data by rate-limiter before it is stored, rate-limiter is called enough times to accumulate enough credits for a certain write. This design only support Manifest and WAL which use log_writer in the current stage.

To build on FreeBSD, arch_ppc_probe needs to be adapted to FreeBSD.
Since FreeBSD uses elf_aux_info as an getauxval equivalent, use it and include necessary headers:
- machine/cpu.h for PPC_FEATURE2_HAS_VEC_CRYPTO,
- sys/auxv.h for elf_aux_info,
- sys/elf_common.h for AT_HWCAP2.
elf_aux_info isn't checked for being available, because it's available since FreeBSD 12.0. rocksdb assumes using Clang on FreeBSD, but powerpc* platforms switch to Clang only since 13.0.
This patch makes rocksdb build on FreeBSD on powerpc64 and powerpc64le platforms.

Closes https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/7691
The optimised CRC code for PPC64le which was originally imported in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/2353 is not compatible with Clang 11. It looks like the code most likely originated from https://github.com/antonblanchard/crc32-vpmsum.
The code relied on a GCC header file `ppc-asm.h` which is not available in Clang.
To solve this, I have taken the same approach as the the upstream project from which the CRC code came ffc8018efc (diff-ec3e62c56fbcddeb07230f2a4673c1abd7f0f1cc8e48a2aa560056cfc1b25d60) and simply imported a copy of the GCC header file into our code-base which will be used when Clang is the compiler on pcc64le.
**NOTE**: The new file `util/ppc-asm.h` may have licensing implications which I guess need to be approved by RocksDB/Facebook before this is merged

Summary:
**# Summary**
RocksDB uses SSE crc32 intrinsics to calculate the crc32 values but it does it in single way fashion (not pipelined on single CPU core). Intel's whitepaper () published an algorithm that uses 3-way pipelining for the crc32 intrinsics, then use pclmulqdq intrinsic to combine the values. Because pclmulqdq has overhead on its own, this algorithm will show perf gains on buffers larger than 216 bytes, which makes RocksDB a perfect user, since most of the buffers RocksDB call crc32c on is over 4KB. Initial db_bench show tremendous CPU gain.
This change uses the 3-way SSE algorithm by default. The old SSE algorithm is now behind a compiler tag NO_THREEWAY_CRC32C. If user compiles the code with NO_THREEWAY_CRC32C=1 then the old SSE Crc32c algorithm would be used. If the server does not have SSE4.2 at the run time the slow way (Non SSE) will be used.
**# Performance Test Results**
We ran the FillRandom and ReadRandom benchmarks in db_bench. ReadRandom is the point of interest here since it calculates the CRC32 for the in-mem buffers. We did 3 runs for each algorithm.
Before this change the CRC32 value computation takes about 11.5% of total CPU cost, and with the new 3-way algorithm it reduced to around 4.5%. The overall throughput also improved from 25.53MB/s to 27.63MB/s.

Summary:
if we enable SSE42 globally when compiling the tree for preparing a
portable binary, which could be running on CPU w/o SSE42 instructions
even the GCC on the building host is able to emit SSE42 code, this leads
to illegal instruction errors on machines not supporting SSE42. to solve
this problem, crc32 detects the supported instruction at runtime, and
selects the supported CRC32 implementation according to the result of
`cpuid`. but intrinics like "_mm_crc32_u64()" will not be available
unless the "target" machine is appropriately specified in the command
line, like "-msse42", or using the "target" attribute.
we could pass "-msse42" only when compiling crc32c.cc, and allow the
compiler to generate the SSE42 instructions, but we are still at the
risk of executing illegal instructions on machines does not support
SSE42 if the compiler emits code that is not guarded by our runtime
detection. and we need to do the change in both Makefile and CMakefile.
or, we can use GCC's "target" attribute to enable the machine specific
instructions on certain function. in this way, we have finer grained
control of the used "target". and no need to change the makefiles. so
we don't need to duplicate the changes on both makefile and cmake as
the previous approach.
this problem surfaces when preparing a package for GNU/Linux distribution,
and we only applies to optimization for SSE42, so using a feature
only available on GCC/Clang is not that formidable.

Summary:
We've had a couple CockroachDB users fail to build RocksDB on exotic platforms, so I figured I'd try my hand at solving these issues upstream. The problems stem from a) `USE_SSE=1` being too aggressive about turning on SSE4.2, even on toolchains that don't support SSE4.2 and b) RocksDB attempting to detect support for thread-local storage based on OS, even though it can vary by compiler on the same OS.
See the individual commit messages for details. Regarding SSE support, this PR should change virtually nothing for non-CMake based builds. `make`, `PORTABLE=1 make`, `USE_SSE=1 make`, and `PORTABLE=1 USE_SSE=1 make` function exactly as before, except that SSE support will be automatically disabled when a simple SSE4.2-using test program fails to compile, as it does on OpenBSD. (OpenBSD's ports GCC supports SSE4.2, but its binutils do not, so `__SSE_4_2__` is defined but an SSE4.2-using program will fail to assemble.) A warning is emitted in this case. The CMake build is modified to support the same set of options, except that `USE_SSE` is spelled `FORCE_SSE42` because `USE_SSE` is rather useless now that we can automatically detect SSE support, and I figure changing options in the CMake build is less disruptive than changing the non-CMake build.
I've tested these changes on all the platforms I can get my hands on (macOS, Windows MSVC, Windows MinGW, and OpenBSD) and it all works splendidly. Let me know if there's anything you object to—I obviously don't mean to break any of your build pipelines in the process of fixing ours downstream.
