x86: Optimize strnlen-evex.S and implement with VMM headers
Optimizations are: 1. Use the fact that bsf(0) leaves the destination unchanged to save a branch in short string case. 2. Restructure code so that small strings are given the hot path. - This is a net-zero on the benchmark suite but in general makes sense as smaller sizes are far more common. 3. Use more code-size efficient instructions. - tzcnt ... -> bsf ... - vpcmpb $0 ... -> vpcmpeq ... 4. Align labels less aggressively, especially if it doesn't save fetch blocks / causes the basic-block to span extra cache-lines. The optimizations (especially for point 2) make the strnlen and strlen code essentially incompatible so split strnlen-evex to a new file. Code Size Changes: strlen-evex.S : -23 bytes strnlen-evex.S : -167 bytes Net perf changes: Reported as geometric mean of all improvements / regressions from N=10 runs of the benchtests. Value as New Time / Old Time so < 1.0 is improvement and 1.0 is regression. strlen-evex.S : 0.992 (No real change) strnlen-evex.S : 0.947 Full results attached in email. Full check passes on x86-64.
