2011-12-12	x86/i386: Use less assembly in strlen(), speed things up a bit	Alexey Dobriyan	1	-5/+3
	Current i386 strlen() hardcodes NOT/DEC sequence. DEC is mentioned to be suboptimal on Core2. So, put only REPNE SCASB sequence in assembly, compiler can do the rest. The difference in generated code is like below (MCORE2=y): <strlen>: push %edi mov $0xffffffff,%ecx mov %eax,%edi xor %eax,%eax repnz scas %es:(%edi),%al not %ecx - dec %ecx - mov %ecx,%eax + lea -0x1(%ecx),%eax pop %edi ret Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111211181319.GA17097@p183.telecom.by Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-10-17	i386: Remove strrchr assembler implementation	Andi Kleen	1	-20/+0
	The constraints in the inline assembler implementation of i386 strrchr() were incorrect and break the build with recent gcc 4.3. Since there are only very few callers of strrchr() and none of them are performance relevant just remove the assembler implementation and use the C fallback instead.
