From 2bce01ebbaf8db52ba4a5635eb5744f989cdbf69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siddhesh Poyarekar Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2017 18:50:27 +0530 Subject: aarch64: Improve strcmp unaligned performance Replace the simple byte-wise compare in the misaligned case with a dword compare with page boundary checks in place. For simplicity I've chosen a 4K page boundary so that we don't have to query the actual page size on the system. This results in up to 3x improvement in performance in the unaligned case on falkor and about 2.5x improvement on mustang as measured using bench-strcmp. * sysdeps/aarch64/strcmp.S (misaligned8): Compare dword at a time whenever possible. --- sysdeps/aarch64/strcmp.S | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'sysdeps/aarch64') diff --git a/sysdeps/aarch64/strcmp.S b/sysdeps/aarch64/strcmp.S index e99d6625b7..c260e1d8ac 100644 --- a/sysdeps/aarch64/strcmp.S +++ b/sysdeps/aarch64/strcmp.S @@ -72,6 +72,7 @@ L(start_realigned): cbz syndrome, L(loop_aligned) /* End of performance-critical section -- one 64B cache line. */ +L(end): #ifndef __AARCH64EB__ rev syndrome, syndrome rev data1, data1 @@ -145,12 +146,38 @@ L(mutual_align): b L(start_realigned) L(misaligned8): - /* We can do better than this. */ + /* Align SRC1 to 8 bytes and then compare 8 bytes at a time, always + checking to make sure that we don't access beyond page boundary in + SRC2. */ + tst src1, #7 + b.eq L(loop_misaligned) +L(do_misaligned): ldrb data1w, [src1], #1 ldrb data2w, [src2], #1 cmp data1w, #1 ccmp data1w, data2w, #0, cs /* NZCV = 0b0000. */ - b.eq L(misaligned8) + b.ne L(done) + tst src1, #7 + b.ne L(misaligned8) + +L(loop_misaligned): + /* Test if we are within the last dword of the end of a 4K page.
