aarch64: Optimized implementation of memmove for Qualcomm Falkor This is an optimized memmove implementation for the Qualcomm Falkor processor core. Due to the way the falkor memcpy needs to be written, code cannot be easily shared between memmove and memcpy like in case of other aarch64 memcpy implementations due to which this routine is separate. The underlying principle is the same as that of memcpy where it tries to use registers with the same lower 4 bits for fetching the same stream, thus optimizing hardware prefetcher performance. The memcpy copy loop copies 64 bytes at a time using the same register pair since that's the way to train the hardware prefetcher on the falkor core. memmove cannot quite do that since it needs to avoid overlaps, so it does the next best thing, i.e. has a 32 byte loop with a 32 byte end (prefetch a loop ahead to account for overlapping locations) with register pairs that alias so that they hit the same prefetcher. Due to this difference in loop size, they have to currently be separate implementations but efforts are on to try and get memmove to fall back into memcpy whenever it can without simply duplicating all of the code. Performance: The routine fares around 20-25% better than the generic memmove for most medium to large sizes (i.e. > 128 bytes) for the new walking memmove benchmark (memmove-walk) with an unexplained regression between 1K and 2K. The minor regression is something worth looking into for us, but the remaining gains are significant enough that we would like this included upstream as we looking into the cause for the regression.
