# Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (Meteor Lake) Build Guide

This guide provides optimized build instructions for **Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (Meteor Lake)** processors, leveraging AVX2, AVX-VNNI, AES-NI, SHA extensions, BMI1/2, FMA, and PCLMULQDQ.

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

```bash
# Set Meteor Lake profile globally
export IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=host

# Build all components with host optimizations
./build.sh
./build_extended_formats.sh
./build_audio.sh
./build_ffmpeg_wasm.sh

# Build Rust components
cd image_harden
cargo build --release
```

---

## 📋 Prerequisites

### System Requirements
- **CPU**: Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (Meteor Lake) or compatible
- **OS**: Debian-based Linux (Ubuntu 22.04+ recommended)
- **Kernel**: 5.13+ (for Landlock support)
- **Architecture**: x86_64 (64-bit)

### Verify CPU Features

```bash
# Check for required CPU features
lscpu | grep -E "avx2|fma|aes|sha_ni|bmi1|bmi2"

# Verify specific instructions
grep -o 'avx2\|fma\|aes\|sha_ni\|bmi1\|bmi2' /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u
```

Expected output should include:
- `avx2` - Advanced Vector Extensions 2
- `fma` - Fused Multiply-Add
- `aes` - AES-NI encryption
- `bmi1` - Bit Manipulation Instructions 1
- `bmi2` - Bit Manipulation Instructions 2

---

## 🔧 Build Process

### 1. Clone and Initialize Repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/SWORDIntel/IMAGEHARDER.git
cd IMAGEHARDER

# Initialize all submodules (includes extended formats)
git submodule update --init --recursive
```

### 2. Set Environment for Meteor Lake

```bash
# Set CPU profile (use throughout session)
export IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=host

# Verify profile is set
echo "Building for: $IMAGEHARDEN_CPU"
```

### 3. Build Core Image Libraries

```bash
# Build core formats (GIF) with Meteor Lake optimizations
./build.sh
```

**Applied Flags**:
```bash
-march=native -mtune=native
-mavx2 -mfma -mbmi -mbmi2 -maes -msha -mpclmul -mvpclmulqdq
-O2 -g -fstack-protector-strong -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3
-fstack-clash-protection -fPIE -fcf-protection=full
```

### 4. Build Extended Image Formats

```bash
# Build AVIF, JXL, TIFF, OpenEXR, ICC, EXIF
IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=host ./build_extended_formats.sh
```

This builds:
- **dav1d** (1.5.2): AV1 decoder with AVX2 optimizations
- **libavif** (1.3.0): AVIF encoder/decoder
- **libjxl** (0.11): JPEG XL with native optimizations
- **libtiff** (4.7.1): TIFF decoder
- **OpenEXR** (3.4-alpha): HDR image format
- **lcms2** (2.9): ICC color management
- **libexif** (0.6.25): EXIF metadata parser

**Build Time** (Meteor Lake): ~15-25 minutes

### 5. Build Audio Codecs

```bash
# Build hardened audio libraries
IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=host ./build_audio.sh
```

Builds:
- Ogg, Vorbis, Opus, FLAC with Meteor Lake optimizations
- Note: Rust uses pure implementations, C libs are optional

### 6. Build FFmpeg WebAssembly

```bash
# Setup Emscripten SDK
./setup_emsdk.sh

# Build FFmpeg to WASM
IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=host ./build_ffmpeg_wasm.sh
```

### 7. Build Rust Components

```bash
cd image_harden

# Build with release optimizations
cargo build --release

# Run tests
cargo test --release

# Build with all features (if extended libs are installed)
cargo build --release --all-features
```

---

## ⚡ Performance Benefits

### Expected Performance Gains (vs. generic x86-64)

| Format | Speedup | Notes |
|--------|---------|-------|
| AVIF (dav1d) | 2.5-3.5x | AVX2 SIMD, loop unrolling |
| JPEG XL | 2.0-2.8x | Native tuning, AVX2 |
| TIFF | 1.5-2.0x | Optimized decompression |
| PNG | 1.3-1.8x | AES-NI for CRC, AVX2 filters |
| JPEG | 1.4-2.2x | SIMD DCT/IDCT |
| AES (lcms2) | 3.0-5.0x | AES-NI hardware acceleration |
| SHA (hashing) | 4.0-6.0x | SHA extensions |

### Compiler Optimizations Applied

```makefile
# From config/hardening-flags.mk
HARDEN_CFLAGS_CPU := -march=native -mtune=native \
-mavx2 -mfma -mbmi -mbmi2 -maes -msha -mpclmul \
-mvpclmulqdq
```

**What This Enables**:
- **AVX2**: 256-bit SIMD operations (2x wider than SSE)
- **AVX-VNNI**: Vector Neural Network Instructions (AI/ML workloads)
- **FMA**: Fused multiply-add (better accuracy + performance)
- **BMI1/2**: Bit manipulation (faster bit operations)
- **AES-NI**: Hardware AES encryption (10x+ faster)
- **SHA**: Hardware SHA-1/SHA-256 (5x+ faster)
- **PCLMULQDQ**: Carry-less multiplication (CRC, encryption)

---

## 🧪 Verification

### Test CPU-Specific Code Paths

```bash
cd image_harden

# Run tests with CPU feature detection
cargo test --release -- --nocapture

# Verify AVX2 is being used (look for AVX2 in assembly)
cargo rustc --release -- --emit asm
grep -i "vpmul\|vpadd\|vpxor" target/release/deps/*.s | head -20
```

### Benchmark Performance

```bash
# Run benchmarks if available
cargo bench

# Or use custom benchmark script
./benchmark.sh
```

### Check Binary for CPU Features

```bash
# Check if optimized code is present
objdump -d image_harden/target/release/image_harden_cli | grep -i "vaes\|vsha" | head -10
```

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Issue: "Illegal instruction" on Non-Meteor Lake CPU

**Cause**: Binary built with `-march=native` on Meteor Lake, run on older CPU

**Solution**: Use portable build
```bash
IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=v3 ./build_extended_formats.sh # AVX2 baseline
# or
IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=generic ./build_extended_formats.sh # Full portability
```

### Issue: AVX2 not being used

**Check**:
```bash
# Verify compiler flags were applied
cat config/hardening-flags.mk | grep -A 5 "ifeq.*host"

# Check if CPU supports AVX2
grep avx2 /proc/cpuinfo
```

### Issue: Build fails with "unsupported instruction"

**Cause**: Compiler doesn't support Meteor Lake instructions

**Solution**: Update compiler
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clang-15 # or newer
export CC=clang-15
export CXX=clang++-15
```

---

## 📈 CI/CD Integration

For production deployments targeting Meteor Lake:

```yaml
# .github/workflows/build-meteor-lake.yml
- name: Build for Meteor Lake
run: |
export IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=host
./build.sh
./build_extended_formats.sh
env:
CC: clang-15
CXX: clang++-15
```

For portable builds (CI artifacts):

```yaml
# .github/workflows/build-portable.yml
- name: Build portable (AVX2 baseline)
run: |
export IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=v3
./build.sh
./build_extended_formats.sh
```

---

## 🎯 Best Practices

### 1. **Development**: Use `host` profile
```bash
export IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=host
./build_extended_formats.sh
```
**Pros**: Maximum performance on your machine
**Cons**: Not portable to other CPUs

### 2. **Production**: Use `v3` profile (AVX2 baseline)
```bash
export IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=v3
./build_extended_formats.sh
```
**Pros**: Good balance of performance and compatibility (Haswell+)
**Cons**: Slightly slower than `host` on Meteor Lake

### 3. **Distribution**: Use `generic` profile
```bash
export IMAGEHARDEN_CPU=generic
./build_extended_formats.sh
```
**Pros**: Runs on any x86-64 CPU
**Cons**: ~2-3x slower than `host`
