          <pre class="bz_comment_text">AVX-512 support has been disabled on some conditions.

On DPDK v18.11 AVX-512 is disabled for all GCC builds which reported to cause a
performance drop.

On DPDK v19.02 AVX-512 disable scope is reduced to GCC and binutils version
2.30 based on information accrued from the GCC community defect.

Reason:
Generated AVX-512 code cause crash: <a class="bz_bug_link           bz_status_RESOLVED  bz_closed"   title="RESOLVED FIXED - rte_memcpy() moves data incorrectly on Ubuntu 18.04 on Intel Skylake"   href="show_bug.cgi?id=97">https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97</a>
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88096">https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88096</a>

Resolution/Workaround:
Update binutils to newer version than 2.30.

OR
