Subject[PATCH v5 0/3] riscv: optimized mem* functions
Date
From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com>

Replace the assembly mem{cpy,move,set} with C equivalent.

Try to access RAM with the largest bit width possible, but without
doing unaligned accesses.

A further improvement could be to use multiple read and writes as the
assembly version was trying to do.

Tested on a BeagleV Starlight with a SiFive U74 core, where the
improvement is noticeable.

v4 -> v5:
- call __memcpy() instead of memcpy() in memmove()

v3 -> v4:
- incorporate changes from proposed generic version:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210702123153.14093-1-mcroce@linux.microsoft.com/

v2 -> v3:
- alias mem* to __mem* and not viceversa
- use __alias instead of a tail call

v1 -> v2:
- reduce the threshold from 64 to 16 bytes
- fix KASAN build
- optimize memset

riscv: optimized memcpy
riscv: optimized memmove
riscv: optimized memset
