Subject: [PATCH v7 00/17] Improve generic string routines
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2023 17:45:41 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230111204558.2402155-1-adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org> (raw)

It is done by:

  1. parametrizing the internal routines (for instance the find zero
     in a word) so each architecture can reimplement without the need
     to reimplement the whole routine.

  2. vectorizing more string implementations (for instance strcpy
     and strcmp).

  3. Change some implementations to use already possible optimized
     ones (strnlen and strchr).  It makes new ports to focus on
     only provide optimized implementation of a hardful symbols
     (for instance memchr) and make its improvement to be used in
     a larger set of routines.

I checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu,
and powerpc64-linux-gnu by removing the arch-specific assembly
implementation and disabling multiarch (it covers both LE and BE
for 64 and 32 bits). I also checked the string routines on alpha, hppa,
and sh.

Changes since v6:
  * Add find_t to handle alpha way of comapring bytes (which returns
    a bit-mask instead of byte-mask).
  * Fixed alpha string-fzi.h and added string-fza.h.
  * Renamed check_mask to shift_find.

Changes since v5:
  * Replace 'inline' with '__always_inline' macros.
  * Replace strchr implementation with a simpler one that call
    strchrnul.
  * Add strchrnul suggested changes.
  * Add memchr suggested changes.
  * Added check_mask on string-maskoff.h.
  * Rebase and update Copyright years.

Changes since v4:
  * Removed __clz and __ctz in favor of count_leading_zero and
    count_trailing_zeros from longlong.h.
  * Use repeat_bytes more often.
  * Added a comment on strcmp final_cmp on why index_first_zero_ne can
    not be used.

Changes since v3:
  * Rebased against master.
  * Dropped strcpy optimization.
  * Refactor strcmp implementation.
  * Some minor changes in comments.

Changes since v2:
  * Move string-fz{a,b,i} to its own patch.
  * Add a inline implementation for __builtin_c{l,t}z to avoid using
    compiler provided symbols.
  * Add a new header, string-maskoff.h, to handle unaligned accesses
    on some implementation.
  * Fixed strcmp on LE machines.
  * Added a unaligned strcpy variant for architecture that define
    _STRING_ARCH_unaligned.
  * Add SH string-fzb.h (which uses cmp/str instruction to find
    a zero in word).

Changes since v1:
  * Marked ChangeLog entries with [BZ #5806], as appropriate.
  * Reorganized the headers, so that armv6t2 and power6 need override
    as little as possible to use their (integer) zero detection insns.
  * Hopefully fixed all of the coding style issues.
  * Adjusted the memrchr algorithm as discussed.
  * Replaced the #ifdef STRRCHR etc that are used by the multiarch
  * files.
  * Tested on i386, i686, x86_64 (verified this is unused), ppc64,
    ppc64le --with-cpu=power8 (to use power6 in multiarch), armv7,
    aarch64, alpha (qemu) and hppa (qemu).
