2 * arch/alpha/lib/ev67-strcat.S
3 * 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
5 * Append a null-terminated string from SRC to DST.
7 * Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
8 * Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
9 * abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
10 * ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
11 * Scheduling notation:
13 * U - upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
14 * L - lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
15 * Try not to change the actual algorithm if possible for consistency.
16 * Commentary: It seems bogus to walk the input string twice - once
17 * to determine the length, and then again while doing the copy.
18 * A significant (future) enhancement would be to only read the input
