I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

This patch significantly improves performance of strstr using a novel
modified Horspool algorithm. Needles up to size 256 use a bad-character
table indexed by hashed pairs of characters to quickly skip past mismatches.
Long needles use a self-adapting filtering step to avoid comparing the whole
needle repeatedly.
By limiting the needle length to 256, the shift table only requires 8 bits
per entry, lowering preprocessing overhead and minimizing cache effects.
This limit also implies worst-case performance is linear.
Small needles up to size 3 use a dedicated linear search. Very long needles
use the Two-Way algorithm.
The performance gain using the improved bench-strstr on Cortex-A72 is 5.8
times basic_strstr and 3.7 times twoway_strstr.
Tested against GLIBC testsuite, randomized tests and the GNULIB strstr test
(https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/tests/test-strstr.c).

* string/str-two-way.h (two_way_short_needle): Add inline to avoid
warning.
(two_way_long_needle): Block inlining.
* string/strstr.c (strstr2): Add new function.
(strstr3): Likewise.
(STRSTR): Completely rewrite strstr to improve performance.
The generic strstr in GLIBC 2.28 fails to match huge needles. The optimized
AVAILABLE macro reads ahead a large fixed amount to reduce the overhead of
repeatedly checking for the end of the string. However if the needle length
is larger than this, two_way_long_needle may confuse this as meaning the end
of the string and return NULL. This is fixed by adding the needle length to
the amount to read ahead.
[BZ #23637]
* string/test-strstr.c (pr23637): New function.
(test_main): Add tests with longer needles.
* string/strcasestr.c (AVAILABLE): Fix readahead distance.
* string/strstr.c (AVAILABLE): Likewise.
Looking at the benchtests, both strstr and strcasestr spend a lot of time
in a slow initialization loop handling one character per iteration.
This can be simplified and use the much faster strlen/strnlen/strchr/memcmp.
Read ahead a few cachelines to reduce the number of strnlen calls, which
improves performance by ~3-4%. This patch improves the time taken for the
full strstr benchtest by >40%.
* string/strcasestr.c (STRCASESTR): Simplify and speedup first match.
* string/strstr.c (AVAILABLE): Likewise.
Improve strstr performance. Strstr tends to be slow because it uses
many calls to memchr and a slow byte loop to scan for the next match.
Performance is significantly improved by using strnlen on larger blocks
and using strchr to search for the next matching character. strcasestr
can also use strnlen to scan ahead, and memmem can use memchr to check
for the next match.
On the GLIBC bench tests the performance gains on Cortex-A72 are:
strstr: +25%
strcasestr: +4.3%
memmem: +18%
On a 256KB dataset strstr performance improves by 67%, strcasestr by 47%.
