+OpenSSL supports a range of x86[_64] instruction set extensions and
+features. These extensions are denoted by individual bits or groups of bits
+stored internally as ten 32\-bit capability vectors and for simplicity
+represented logically below as five 64\-bit vectors. This logical
+vector (LV) representation is used to streamline the definition of the
+OPENSSL_ia32cap environment variable.
.PP
-For example, in 32\-bit application context clearing bit #26 at run-time
-disables high-performance \s-1SSE2\s0 code present in the crypto library, while
-clearing bit #24 disables \s-1SSE2\s0 code operating on 128\-bit \s-1XMM\s0 register
-bank. You might have to do the latter if target OpenSSL application is
-executed on \s-1SSE2\s0 capable \s-1CPU,\s0 but under control of \s-1OS\s0 that does not
-enable \s-1XMM\s0 registers. Historically address of the capability vector copy
-was exposed to application through \fBOPENSSL_ia32cap_loc()\fR, but not
-anymore. Now the only way to affect the capability detection is to set
-\&\fBOPENSSL_ia32cap\fR environment variable prior target application start. To
-give a specific example, on Intel P4 processor
-\&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x16980010 apps/openssl\*(C'\fR, or better yet
-\&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x1000000 apps/openssl\*(C'\fR would achieve the desired
-effect. Alternatively you can reconfigure the toolkit with no\-sse2
-option and recompile.
+Upon toolkit initialization, the capability vectors are populated through
+successive executions of the CPUID instruction, after which any OPENSSL_ia32cap
+environment variable capability bit modifications are applied. After toolkit
+initialization is complete, populated vectors are then used to choose
+between different code paths to provide optimal performance across a wide
+range of x86[_64] based processors.
.PP
-Less intuitive is clearing bit #28, or ~0x10000000 in the \*(L"environment
-variable\*(R" terms. The truth is that it's not copied from \s-1CPUID\s0 output
-verbatim, but is adjusted to reflect whether or not the data cache is
-actually shared between logical cores. This in turn affects the decision
-on whether or not expensive countermeasures against cache-timing attacks
-are applied, most notably in \s-1AES\s0 assembler module.
-.PP
-The capability vector is further extended with \s-1EBX\s0 value returned by
-\&\s-1CPUID\s0 with EAX=7 and ECX=0 as input. Following bits are significant:
-.IP "bit #64+3 denoting availability of \s-1BMI1\s0 instructions, e.g. \s-1ANDN\s0;" 4
+Further CPUID information can be found in the Intel(R) Architecture
+Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference, and the AMD64 Architecture
+Programmer's Manual (Volume 3).

+.SS "OPENSSL_ia32cap environment variable"
+.IX Subsection "OPENSSL_ia32cap environment variable"
+The \fBOPENSSL_ia32cap\fR environment variable provides a mechanism to override
+the default capability vector values at library initialization time.
+The variable consists of a series of 64\-bit numbers representing each
+of the logical vectors (LV) described above. Each value is delimited by a '\fB:\fR'.
+Decimal/Octal/Hexadecimal values representations are supported.
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=LV0:LV1:LV2:LV3:LV4\*(C'\fR
+.PP
+Used in this form, each non-null logical vector will *overwrite* the entire corresponding
+capability vector pair with the provided value. To keep compatibility with the
+behaviour of the original OPENSSL_ia32cap environment variable
+<env OPENSSL_ia32cap=LV0:LV1>, the next capability vector pairs will be set to zero.
+.PP
+To illustrate, the following will zero all capability bits in logical vectors 1 and further
+(disable all post-AVX extensions):
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=:0\*(C'\fR
+.PP
+The following will zero all capability bits in logical vectors 2 and further:
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=::0\*(C'\fR
+.PP
+The following will zero all capability bits only in logical vector 1:
+\&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=:0::::\*(C'\fR
+.PP
+A more likely usage scenario would be to disable specific instruction set extensions.
+The '\fB~\fR' character is used to specify a bit mask of the extensions to be disabled for
+a particular logical vector.
+.PP
+To illustrate, the following will disable AVX2 code paths and further extensions:
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000000\*(C'\fR
+.PP
+The following will disable AESNI (LV0 bit 57) and VAES (LV1 bit 41)
+extensions and therefore any code paths using those extensions but leave
+the rest of the logical vectors unchanged:
.PP
-To control this extended capability word use \f(CW\*(C`:\*(C'\fR as delimiter when
-setting up \fBOPENSSL_ia32cap\fR environment variable. For example assigning
-\&\f(CW\*(C`:~0x20\*(C'\fR would disable \s-1AVX2\s0 code paths, and \f(CW\*(C`:0\*(C'\fR \- all post-AVX
-extensions.
+\&\f(CW\*(C`env OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x200000000000000:~0x20000000000:~0x0:~0x0:~0x0\*(C'\fR
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+Not all capability bits are copied from CPUID output verbatim. An example
+of this is the somewhat less intuitive clearing of LV0 bit #28, or ~0x10000000
+in the "environment variable" terms. It has been adjusted to reflect whether or
+not the data cache is actually shared between logical cores. This in turn affects
+the decision on whether or not expensive countermeasures against cache-timing attacks
+are applied, most notably in AES assembler module.
