Add TEST opcode to Group3-2 reg=001b as same as Group3-1 does.

Commit

  12a78d43de76 ("x86/decoder: Add new TEST instruction pattern")

added a TEST opcode assignment to f6 XX/001/XXX (Group 3-1), but did
not add f7 XX/001/XXX (Group 3-2).

Actually, this TEST opcode variant (ModRM.reg /1) is not described in
the Intel SDM Vol2 but in AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Vol.3,
Appendix A.2 Table A-6. ModRM.reg Extensions for the Primary Opcode Map.

Without this fix, Randy found a warning by insn_decoder_test related
to this issue as below.

    HOSTCC  arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test
    HOSTCC  arch/x86/tools/insn_sanity

    TEST    posttest
  arch/x86/tools/insn_sanity: Success: decoded and checked 1000000 random instructions with 0 errors (seed:0x871ce29c)

To fix this error, add the TEST opcode according to AMD64 APM Vol.3.

<title>x86/cpufeatures: Add support for fast short REP; MOVSB</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f444a5ff95dce07cf4353cbb85fc3e785019d430</id>
<content type='text'>
&gt;From the Intel Optimization Reference Manual:

3.7.6.1 Fast Short REP MOVSB
Beginning with processors based on Ice Lake Client microarchitecture,
REP MOVSB performance of short operations is enhanced. The enhancement
applies to string lengths between 1 and 128 bytes long.  Support for
fast-short REP MOVSB is enumerated by the CPUID feature flag: CPUID
[EAX=7H, ECX=0H).EDX.FAST_SHORT_REP_MOVSB[bit 4] = 1. There is no change
in the REP STOS performance.

Add an X86_FEATURE_FSRM flag for this.

memmove() avoids REP MOVSB for short (&lt; 32 byte) copies. Check FSRM and
use REP MOVSB for short copies on systems that support it.

<content type='text'>
To support evaluating 64-bit kernel mode instructions:

* Replace existing checks for user_64bit_mode() with a new helper that
checks whether code is being executed in either 64-bit kernel mode or
64-bit user mode.

* Select the GS base depending on whether the instruction is being
evaluated in kernel mode.

 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cross-arch changes to move the linker sections for NOTES and
     EXCEPTION_TABLE into the RO_DATA area, where they belong on most
     architectures. (Kees Cook)

   - Switch the x86 linker fill byte from x90 (NOP) to 0xcc (INT3), to
     trap jumps into the middle of those padding areas instead of
     sliding execution. (Kees Cook)

   - A thorough cleanup of symbol definitions within x86 assembler code.
     The rather randomly named macros got streamlined around a
     (hopefully) straightforward naming scheme:

        SYM_START(name, linkage, align...)
        SYM_END(name, sym_type)

        SYM_FUNC_START(name)

        SYM_DATA_END(name)

     etc - with about three times of these basic primitives with some
     label, local symbol or attribute variant, expressed via postfixes.

     No change in functionality intended. (Jiri Slaby)
