[PATCH] ARM: Fix performance issue in strcpy

[Wilco Dijkstra]

Hi,

This patch fixes a performance bug in strcp. The code dealing with unaligned copies uses mvns to
detect whether a register is 0. This is incorrect - the zero flag is only set if the value is -1. As
a result the code always does a byte-by-byte copy for the full string rather than doing the
word-based copy for the misaligned cases. Fixing this more than doubles performance.

OK for commit?

ChangeLog:

	* sysdeps/arm/armv6/strcpy.S (strcpy):
	Fix performance issue in misaligned cases.
