commit c435989f52204703d524f467c830dc363439e532
Author: Wilco Dijkstra <wdijkstr@arm.com>
Date:   Mon Jul 13 12:38:12 2015 +0100

    Optimize the strlen implementation by using a page cross check and a fast check
    for nul bytes which reverts to separate loop when a non-ASCII char is encountered.
    Speedup on test-strlen is ~10%, long ASCII strings are processed ~60% faster,
    and on random tests it is ~80% better.

+	   of the string for a NUL character.  In order to do an unaligned ldp
+	   safely we have to do a page cross check first.  If there is a NUL
+	   byte we calculate the length from the 2 8-byte words using
+	   conditional select to reduce branch mispredictions (it is unlikely
+	   strlen will be repeatedly called on strings with the same length).
+
+	   If the string is longer than 16 bytes, we align src so don't need
+	   further page cross checks, and process 32 bytes per iteration
+	   using the fast NUL check.  If we encounter non-ASCII characters,
+	   fallback to a second loop using the full NUL check.
+
+	   If the page cross check fails, we read 16 bytes from an aligned
+	   address, remove any characters before the string, and continue
+	   in the main loop using aligned loads.  Since strings crossing a
+	   page in the first 16 bytes are rare (probability of
+	   16/MIN_PAGE_SIZE ~= 0.4%), this case does not need to be optimized.
+
+	   AArch64 systems have a minimum page size of 4k.  We don't bother
+	   checking for larger page sizes - the cost of setting up the correct
+	   page size is just not worth the extra gain from a small reduction in
+	   the cases taking the slow path.  Note that we only care about
+	   whether the first fetch, which may be misaligned, crosses a page
+	   boundary.  */
