[PATCH] Multiarch optimization for strncat on PowerPC64



>From 464f5b0d19f0bd8873151627cd1449288f80e9fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Vidya Ranganathan <vidya@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 11:32:09 -0500
Subject: [PATCH] Multiarch optimization for strncat() on ppc64 and ppc64le. I
 have attached the benchtest output to show the performance improvement.

The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
1.Word and doubleWord aligned memory access using Power7 cmpb instruction
2.loop unrolling Power7 gain
3.CPU pre-fetch to avoid cache miss

ChangeLog:
2014-02-28  Vidya Ranganathan  <vidya@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/strncat.S: New file: Optimization.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strncat.c: New file:
	multiarch strncat for PPC64.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strncat-ppc64.c: New file
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strncat-power7.S: New file
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c:
	(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/Makefile: Add strncat
	multiarch optimizations
