The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte. This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do. On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings. strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values: Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c): len 256 : time = 1.195055 len 016 : time = 0.083745 len 008 : time = 0.046828 len 004 : time = 0.028390 After the patch: len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==> 78% improvment len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==> 51% improvment len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==> 29% improvment len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==> 2% degradation On a 832x: Before the patch: len 256 : time = 0.236125 len 016 : time = 0.018136 len 008 : time = 0.011000 len 004 : time = 0.007229 After the patch: len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==> 60% improvment len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==> 26% improvment len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==> 4% improvment len 004 : time = 0.008784 Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

/*
|
|
* Algorithm:
|
|
*
|
|
* 1) Given a word 'x', we can test to see if it contains any 0 bytes
|
|
* by subtracting 0x01010101, and seeing if any of the high bits of each
|
|
* byte changed from 0 to 1. This works because the least significant
|
|
* 0 byte must have had no incoming carry (otherwise it's not the least
|
|
* significant), so it is 0x00 - 0x01 == 0xff. For all other
|
|
* byte values, either they have the high bit set initially, or when
|
|
* 1 is subtracted you get a value in the range 0x00-0x7f, none of which
|
|
* have their high bit set. The expression here is
|
|
* (x - 0x01010101) & ~x & 0x80808080), which gives 0x00000000 when
|
|
* there were no 0x00 bytes in the word. You get 0x80 in bytes that
|
|
* match, but possibly false 0x80 matches in the next more significant
|
|
* byte to a true match due to carries. For little-endian this is
|
|
* of no consequence since the least significant match is the one
|
|
* we're interested in, but big-endian needs method 2 to find which
|
|
* byte matches.
|
|
* 2) Given a word 'x', we can test to see _which_ byte was zero by
|
|
* calculating ~(((x & ~0x80808080) - 0x80808080 - 1) | x | ~0x80808080).
|
|
* This produces 0x80 in each byte that was zero, and 0x00 in all
|
|
* the other bytes. The '| ~0x80808080' clears the low 7 bits in each
|
|
* byte, and the '| x' part ensures that bytes with the high bit set
|
|
* produce 0x00. The addition will carry into the high bit of each byte
|
|
* iff that byte had one of its low 7 bits set. We can then just see
|
|
* which was the most significant bit set and divide by 8 to find how
|
|
* many to add to the index.
|
|
* This is from the book 'The PowerPC Compiler Writer's Guide',
|
|
* by Steve Hoxey, Faraydon Karim, Bill Hay and Hank Warren.
