x86: Shrink memcmp-sse4.S code size
No bug. This implementation refactors memcmp-sse4.S primarily with minimizing code size in mind. It does this by removing the lookup table logic and removing the unrolled check from (256, 512] bytes. memcmp-sse4 code size reduction : -3487 bytes wmemcmp-sse4 code size reduction: -1472 bytes The current memcmp-sse4.S implementation has a large code size cost. This has serious adverse affects on the ICache / ITLB. While in micro-benchmarks the implementations appears fast, traces of real-world code have shown that the speed in micro benchmarks does not translate when the ICache/ITLB are not primed, and that the cost of the code size has measurable negative affects on overall application performance. See https://research.google/pubs/pub48320/ for more details. Signed-off-by: Noah Goldstein <goldstein.w.n@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com>
