http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00097.html This is the first of nine patches adding little-endian support to the existing optimised string and memory functions. I did spend some time with a power7 simulator looking at cycle by cycle behaviour for memchr, but most of these patches have not been run on cpu simulators to check that we are going as fast as possible. I'm sure PowerPC can do better. However, the little-endian support mostly leaves main loops unchanged, so I'm banking on previous authors having done a good job on big-endian.. As with most code you stare at long enough, I found some improvements for big-endian too. Little-endian support for strlen. Like most of the string functions, I leave the main word or multiple-word loops substantially unchanged, just needing to modify the tail. Removing the branch in the power7 functions is just a tidy. .align produces a branch anyway. Modifying regs in the non-power7 functions is to suit the new little-endian tail. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/strlen.S (strlen): Add little-endian support. Don't branch over align. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/strlen.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/strlen.S (strlen): Add little-endian support. Rearrange tmp reg use to suit. Comment. * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/strlen.S: Likewise. |
