Commit Message

Will Newton April 23, 2014, 12:32 p.m. UTC
Add an optimized implementation of strcmp for ARMv7-A cores. This
implementation is significantly faster than the current generic C
implementation, particularly for strings of 16 bytes and longer.

The code was written by ARM, who have agreed to assign the copyright
to the FSF for integration into glibc.

ChangeLog:

2014-04-23  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>

	* sysdeps/arm/armv7/strcmp.S: New file.

I confirm that ARM is happy to contribute this code to GLIBC under its
FSF assignment agreement.

Will, can you add "Contributed by ARM Ltd." to the banner part please?

R.

You can minimize the size of the unwind info (avoiding DW_CFA_advance opcodes)
by delaying restores until the previous storage may be clobbered, or until some
other adjustment must be made.  The storage is clobbered, obviously, by the
post-increment of SP deallocating the storage.

Also, it would appear that you're remembering two different states between the
big and little endian versions of this code.  The LE version remembers before
restoring r6/r7; the BE version remembers afterward.

I suspect you want

	ldrd	r4, r5, [sp], #16
	cfi_remember_state
	cfi_def_cfa_offset(0)
	cfi_restore (r4)
	cfi_restore (r5)
	cfi_restore (r6)
	cfi_restore (r7)

which has a single advance within this code sequence, and r6/r7 remembered as
saved, and actually describes the stack adjustment.

FWIW, I find using cfi_rel_offset much easier to reason with, since you get to
match up numbers in the cfi data with numbers in the assembly.  E.g.

	cfi_rel_offset(r6, 8)
	cfi_rel_offset(r7, 12)

but perhaps not that helpful in this case.

Even though only r4 was modified and reloaded, r5-r7 are still described as
saved.  After popping all of the storage, that's not correct -- you need to
restore all 4 registers.  Again, you're not describing the stack adjustment.
Again, no point in doing the remember 2 insns before the restores.

Alternately, since this unwind info isn't for correctness of exception
handling, you could simply drop all this restore business and let the unwind
info be incorrect for the 1-2 insns before the return.

Please let's keep all CFI exactly correct.

Could you please describe the testing (at least the string/ tests should 
have been run for both endiannesses) and be more specific about 
"significantly faster" (benchmark results - on specific identified 
hardware - using glibc's benchtests are desirable for such string function 
tests, in addition to any other benchmarks you may have used if glibc's 
benchtests aren't useful for the cases of interest)?

In general I think it's clearer to have such macros in the positive sense, 
i.e. STRCMP_PRECHECK (value 1) instead of STRCMP_NO_PRECHECK (value 0).

glibc no longer uses "Contributed by" lines in source files.  (They can go 
in the NEWS file entries, which are appropriate for such contributions of 
optimized functions.)

Ok, I have attempted to fix this in all cases.

Yes, I tend to find that simpler too but the code came to me using the
absolute offsets and as you suggest in this case there's not much in
it.

Hopefully the CFI is all correct now, I will post a v2.

These are the improvements for a production board with cortex-a15.  For
very short strings there's a fair amount of noise in the measurements,
but the regressions are generally very small, while the improvements can
be significant. Yes, there are cases where the new code is more than
three times faster.

While for these cases it's clear from the surrounding context what
these numbers mean, I recommend not using percentages to describe
performance improvements. I'd be nice for glibc to adopt this policy
for sake of consistency and clarity.

If I saw in isolation

> Length  16      alignment       0/0:     105.97%

I wouldn't know whether this was measured relative to the original
performance (and was 5% faster) or as a speed up over the original
performance (and was a bit more than twice as fast).

This could be unambiguously written as

> Length  16      alignment       0/0:     2.0597x

Yes, I pondered this before posting the numbers.  I concluded that the
presence of a few small negative numbers (for the regressions) made the
whole table unambiguous.

If there's a need to re-submit, I'll do that.
