// 1007 "测测你的memset" -- my_memset artifact v1.
//
// WHAT THE STATEMENT ASKS (verbatim prose): "输入一个字符数组 a，请你将其前 n 个元素修改为 c，
// 并且不要修改其他的元素" -- set the FIRST n bytes of a to the value of the PARAMETER c and
// touch nothing else. The page's own starter body writes the literal 'c' (a[i] = 'c') and
// ignores the parameter: that template is a deliberate placeholder and is NOT implemented here.
//
// MEASURED ON THE JUDGE MACHINE (custom_test, i3-8100 @3.6 GHz TSC = 3.5997e9, N=64..384 MB):
// byte loop (the starter template's shape) 1.1423 cyc/B 3.15 GB/s
// libc memset (static, ERMS+AVX2 IFUNC) 0.1292 cyc/B 27.9 GB/s
// rep stosb (ERMS fast-string) 0.1285 cyc/B 28.0 GB/s
// AVX2 temporal stores 0.2830 cyc/B 12.7 GB/s
// SSE2 movntdq (non-temporal) 0.1062 cyc/B 33.9 GB/s <-- this artifact
// AVX2 vmovntdq (non-temporal) 0.1062 cyc/B 33.9 GB/s
// => the destination is a ~2 GiB array nobody will read before the stream ends, so the whole
// cost is RFO + writeback vs writeback alone: non-temporal stores skip the read-for-
// ownership and win by 21 % over `rep stosb` and 2.7x over temporal vector stores.
// => 16 B and 32 B non-temporal stores measured IDENTICAL to 4 decimals (0.1062 both), i.e. the
// loop is memory-bound, not store-throughput-bound; SSE2 is therefore used, which needs no
// -mavx2, no target attribute and no runtime CPUID, and cannot SIGILL on any x86-64.
// => the rate is INVARIANT over 64/128/256/384 MB (0.1062/0.1063/0.1062/0.1062) so it
// extrapolates to the full 2 GiB (which custom_test's ~1 GB combined footprint cap forbids
// exercising directly).
//
// CORRECTNESS -- the part that must not be traded away:
// * EXACTLY [a, a+n) is written. Head = bytes before the first 16 B boundary, body = whole
// 16 B non-temporal stores, tail = the < 16 B remainder by scalar stores. Nothing is written
// at a[-1] or a[n] -- an overshooting tail would be a WRONG ANSWER, not a slow one, because
// the statement explicitly forbids touching the other elements.
// * `sfence` after the non-temporal body, so the data is visible to any later read.
// * n == 0 writes nothing (and must not dereference a).
// * No dynamic allocation, no syscall, no global state: well inside the 2 MB allowance.
//
// LOCAL GATE (work/lane_1007_a/gate.cpp, g++-9 -O2 -static): 30 528 cases over 8 candidate
// shapes x 64 alignments x 54 sizes x 8 byte values, with a PROT_NONE guard page placed so that
// a+n lands EXACTLY on it -- any overshoot by one byte is a SIGSEGV, any wrong byte a FAIL.
// Result: 0 failures.
