Wilco Dijkstra 5625f666ce This patch cleans up the strsep implementation and improves performance.
Currently strsep calls strpbrk is is now a veneer to strcspn.  Calling
strcspn directly is faster.  Since it handles a delimiter string of size
1 as a special case, this is not needed in strsep itself.  Although this
means there is a slightly higher overhead if the delimiter size is 1,
all other cases are slightly faster.  The overall performance gain is 5-10%
on AArch64.

The string/bits/string2.h header contains optimizations for constant
delimiters of size 1-3.  Benchmarking these showed similar performance for
size 1 (since in all cases strchr/strchrnul is used), while size 2 and 3
can give up to 2x speedup for small input strings.  However if these cases
are common it seems much better to add this optimization to strcspn.
So move these header optimizations to string-inlines.c.

Improve the strsep benchmark so that it actually benchmarks something.
The current version contains a delimiter character at every position in the
input string, so there is very little work to do, and the extremely inefficent
simple_strsep implementation appears fastest in every case.  The new version
has either no match in the input for the fail case and a match halfway in the
input for the success case.  The input is then restored so that each iteration
does exactly the same amount of work.  Reduce the number of testcases since
simple_strsep takes a lot of time now.

	* benchtests/bench-strsep.c (oldstrsep): Add old implementation.
	(do_one_test) Restore original string so iteration works.
	* string/string-inlines.c (do_test): Create better input strings.
	(test_main) Reduce number of testruns.
	* string/string-inlines.c (__old_strsep_1c): New function.
	(__old_strsep_2c): Likewise.
	(__old_strsep_3c): Likewise.
	* string/strsep.c (__strsep): Remove case of small delim string.
	Call strcspn directly rather than strpbrk.
	* string/bits/string2.h (__strsep): Remove define.
	(__strsep_1c): Remove.
	(__strsep_2c): Remove.
	(__strsep_3c): Remove.
	(strsep): Remove.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/internal_statvfs.c
	(__statvfs_getflags): Rename to __strsep.

README

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.  The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later on all architectures except
i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later
suffices.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	hppa-*-linux-gnu	Not currently functional without patches.
	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
	x86_64-*-linux-gnu	Can build either x86_64 or x32
	ia64-*-linux-gnu
	m68k-*-linux-gnu
	microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
	mips-*-linux-gnu
	mips64-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.
	s390-*-linux-gnu
	s390x-*-linux-gnu
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
	sparc*-*-linux-gnu
	sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
	tilegx-*-linux-gnu
	tilepro-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
