ARM: Add optimized ARMv7 strcmp implementation
Add an optimized implementation of strcmp for ARMv7-A cores. This implementation is significantly faster than the current generic C implementation, particularly for strings of 16 bytes and longer. Tested with the glibc string tests for arm-linux-gnueabihf and armeb-linux-gnueabihf. The code was written by ARM, who have agreed to assign the copyright to the FSF for integration into glibc. ChangeLog: 2014-05-09 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * sysdeps/arm/armv7/strcmp.S: New file. * NEWS: Mention addition of ARMv7 optimized strcmp.
