This patch adds some more directives to the benchmark inputs file,
moving functionality from the Makefile and making the code generation
script a bit cleaner. The function argument and return types that
were earlier added as variables in the makefile and passed to the
script via command line arguments are now the 'args' and 'ret'
directive respectively. 'args' should be a colon separated list of
argument types (skipped if the function doesn't accept any arguments)
and 'ret' should be the return type.
Additionally, an 'includes' directive may have a comma separated list
of headers to include in the source. For example, the pow input file
now looks like this:
42.0, 42.0
1.0000000000000020, 1.5
I did this to unclutter the benchtests Makefile a bit and eventually
eliminate dependency of the tests on the Makefile and have tests
depend on their respective include files only.

Like strnlen, memchr and memrchr had a number of defects fixed by this
patch as well as adding little-endian support. The first one I
noticed was that the entry to the main loop needlessly checked for
"are we done yet?" when we know the size is large enough that we can't
be done. The second defect I noticed was that the main loop count was
wrong, which in turn meant that the small loop needed to handle an
extra word. Thirdly, there is nothing to say that the string can't
wrap around zero, except of course that we'd normally hit a segfault
on trying to read from address zero. Fixing that simplified a number
of places:
- /* Are we done already? */
- addi r9,r8,8
- cmpld r9,r7
- bge L(null)
becomes
+ cmpld r8,r7
+ beqlr
However, the exit gets an extra test because I test for being on the
last word then if so whether the byte offset is less than the end.
Overall, the change is a win.
Lastly, memrchr used the wrong cache hint.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memchr.S: Replace rlwimi with
insrdi. Make better use of reg selection to speed exit slightly.
Schedule entry path a little better. Remove useless "are we done"
checks on entry to main loop. Handle wrapping around zero address.
Correct main loop count. Handle single left-over word from main
loop inline rather than by using loop_small. Remove extra word
case in loop_small caused by wrong loop count. Add little-endian
support.

One of the things I noticed when looking at power7 timing is that rlwimi
is cracked and the two resulting insns have a register dependency.
That makes it a little slower than the equivalent rldimi.

LIttle-endian support for memcpy. I spent some time cleaning up the
64-bit power7 memcpy, in order to avoid the extra alignment traps
power7 takes for little-endian. It probably would have been better
to copy the linux kernel version of memcpy.

This is a rather large patch due to formatting and renaming. The
formatting changes were to make it possible to compare power7 and
power4 versions of memcmp. Using different register defines came
about while I was wrestling with the code, trying to find spare
registers at one stage. I found it much simpler if we refer to a reg
by the same name throughout a function, so it's better if short-term
multiple use regs like rTMP are referred to using their register
number. I made the cr field usage changes when attempting to reload
rWORDn regs in the exit path to byte swap before comparing when
little-endian. That proved a bad idea due to the pipelining involved
in the main loop; Offsets to reload the regs were different first
time around the loop.. Anyway, I left the cr field usage changes in
place for consistency.
Aside from these more-or-less cosmetic changes, I fixed a number of
places where an early exit path restores regs unnecessarily, removed
some dead code, and optimised one or two exits.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memcmp.S: Add little-endian support.
Formatting. Consistently use rXXX register defines or rN defines.
Use early exit labels that avoid restoring unused non-volatile regs.
Make cr field use more consistent with rWORDn compares. Rename
regs used as shift registers for unaligned loop, using rN defines
for short lifetime/multiple use regs.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power4/memcmp.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/memcmp.S: Likewise. Exit with
addi 1,1,64 to pop stack frame. Simplify return value code.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power4/memcmp.S: Likewise.

Adds little-endian support to optimised strchr assembly. I've also
tweaked the big-endian code a little. In power7/strchr.S there's a
check in the tail of the function that we didn't match 0 before
finding a c match, done by comparing leading zero counts. It's just
as valid, and quicker, to compare the raw output from cmpb.
Another little tweak is to use rldimi/insrdi in place of rlwimi for
the power7 strchr functions. Since rlwimi is cracked, it is a few
cycles slower. rldimi can be used on the 32-bit power7 functions
too.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/strchr.S (strchr): Add little-endian
support. Correct typos, formatting. Optimize tail. Use insrdi
rather than rlwimi.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/strchr.S: Likewise.

in loop and entry code to keep "and." results.

earlier in tail.

The strcpy changes for little-endian are quite straight-forward, just
a matter of rotating the last word differently.
I'll note that the powerpc64 version of stpcpy is just begging to be
converted to use 64-bit loads and stores..
