As for strcspn, this patch improves strspn performance using a much
faster algorithm. It first constructs a 256-entry table based on
the accept string and then uses it as a lookup table for the
input string. As for strcspn optimization, it is generally at least
10 times faster than the existing implementation on bench-strspn
on a few AArch64 implementations.
Also the string/bits/string2.h inlines make no longer sense, as current
implementation will already implement most of the optimizations.
Tested on x86_64, i686, and aarch64.
* string/strspn.c (strcspn): Rewrite function.
* string/bits/string2.h (strspn): Use __builtin_strcspn.
(__strspn_c1): Remove inline function.
(__strspn_c2): Likewise.
(__strspn_c3): Likewise.
* string/string-inlines.c
[SHLIB_COMPAT(libc, GLIBC_2_1_1, GLIBC_2_24)] (__strspn_c1): Add
compatibility symbol.
[SHLIB_COMPAT(libc, GLIBC_2_1_1, GLIBC_2_24)] (__strspn_c2):
Likewise.
[SHLIB_COMPAT(libc, GLIBC_2_1_1, GLIBC_2_24)] (__strspn_c3):
Likewise.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> hashing of needle.
> hashing avoids scanning of duplicate entries in needle across the string.
> initializing the hash table with Vector instructions (VSX) by quadword access.
> unrolling when scanning for character in string across hash table.
