Initially based on the versions found in wcsmbs/* ; these files have
been changed by hand unrolling, and adding some additional variables
to allow some read-ahead to occur, which then relieves some of the
wait-for-increment/wait-for-load/wait-for-compare-results pressure
that was slowing down every iteration through the while-loop.
For 64-bit Power7, These changes give an approx 20% throughput boost
for the wcschr and wcsrchr functions; and approx 40% boost for the
wcscpy function. 32-bit improvements appear to be slightly better
with ~ %30 and ~ %45 respectively. Results for Power6 closely match
those for power7.
Assorted tweaking, twisting and tuning to squeeze a few additional cycles
out of the memchr code. Changes include bypassing the shift pairs
(sld,srd) when they are not required, and unrolling the small_loop that
handles short and trailing strings.
Per scrollpipe data measuring aligned strings for 64-bit, these changes
save between five and eight cycles (9-13% overall) for short strings (<32),
Longer aligned strings see slight improvement of 1-3% due to bypassing the
shifts and the instruction rearranging.
The original runtime linker auditing interface described
by Solaris allows the 5th argument of la_pltenter() to be
modified. This patch cleans up the ldsodefs.h definitions
such that the 5th argument is not constant.
At one point the 5th argument *was* constant but this was
changed with commit 2413fdba7a.
This patch updates alpha, ia64, mips, sh and sparc with similar
changes.

[BZ #14195]
* sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/strcmp-sssse3.S: Fix
segmentation fault for a case of two empty input strings.
* string/test-strncasecmp.c (check1): Renamed to...
(bz12205): ...this.
(bz14195): Add new testcase for two empty input strings and N > 0.
(test_main): Call new testcase, adapt for renamed function.
Pretty sure we require recent enough versions of gcc/binutils to make this
check pointless. I can't any logs in the last few years where this check
didn't return "yes".
