[PATCH V1] powerpc: Optimized strncmp for power10

Amrita H S amritahs@linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon Dec 18 08:31:16 GMT 2023


This patch is based on __strcmp_power10.

Improvements from __strncmp_power9:

    1. Uses new POWER10 instructions
       - This code uses lxvp to decrease contention on load
         by loading 32 bytes per instruction.

    2. Performance implication
       - This version has around 38% better performance on average.
       - Minor performance regression is seen for few small sizes
	 and specific combination of alignments.
