Bug ID: 19765
Summary: s390 needs an optimized mempcpy
Product: glibc
Version: 2.24
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
On s390 we have an optimized memcpy, but no optimized mempcpy.
Without an optimized mempcpy it has been shown that transformation via inline
to memcpy + addition yields performance improvements.
That performance improvement generally comes at the cost of a callee saved
register, see this bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19759
On s390 mempcpy should be implemented (perhaps using memcpy as x86_64 does),
and the generated code compared versus the inlined memcpy + addition.
