Optimizations are:
1. Use more overlapping stores to avoid branches.
2. Reduce how unrolled the aligning copies are (this is more of a
code-size save, its a negative for some sizes in terms of
perf).
3. For st{r|p}n{cat|cpy} re-order the branches to minimize the
number that are taken.
Performance Changes:
Times are from N = 10 runs of the benchmark suite and are
reported as geometric mean of all ratios of
New Implementation / Old Implementation.
strcat-avx2 -> 0.998
strcpy-avx2 -> 0.937
stpcpy-avx2 -> 0.971
strncpy-avx2 -> 0.793
stpncpy-avx2 -> 0.775
strncat-avx2 -> 0.962
Code Size Changes:
function -> Bytes New / Bytes Old -> Ratio
strcat-avx2 -> 685 / 1639 -> 0.418
strcpy-avx2 -> 560 / 903 -> 0.620
stpcpy-avx2 -> 592 / 939 -> 0.630
strncpy-avx2 -> 1176 / 2390 -> 0.492
stpncpy-avx2 -> 1268 / 2438 -> 0.520
strncat-avx2 -> 1042 / 2563 -> 0.407
Notes:
1. Because of the significant difference between the
implementations they are split into three files.
strcpy-avx2.S -> strcpy, stpcpy, strcat
strncpy-avx2.S -> strncpy
strncat-avx2.S > strncat
I couldn't find a way to merge them without making the
ifdefs incredibly difficult to follow.
Full check passes on x86-64 and build succeeds for all ISA levels w/
and w/o multiarch.
