Subject[PATCH] string: memchr_inv speed improvements
Date
- Generate a 64-bit pattern more efficiently

memchr_inv needs to generate a 64-bit pattern filled with a target
character. The operation can be done by more efficient way.

- Don't call the slow check_bytes() if the memory area is 64-bit aligned

memchr_inv compares contiguous 64-bit words with the 64-bit pattern as
much as possible. The outside of the region is checked by check_bytes()
that scans for each byte. Unfortunately, the first 64-bit word is
unexpectedly scanned by check_bytes() even if the memory area is aligned
to a 64-bit boundary.

Both changes were originally suggested by Eric Dumazet.
