41 * First, check if everything (src, dst, len) is a multiple of eight. If
42 * so, we handle everything with no taken branches (other than the loop
43 * itself) and a small icache footprint. Otherwise, we jump off to
44 * the more general copy routine handling arbitrary
45 * sizes/alignment etc.

112 * Small (<16 bytes) unaligned copying is done via a simple byte-at-the-time
113 * copy loop. This performs relatively poorly on Itanium, but it doesn't
114 * get used very often (gcc inlines small copies) and due to atomicity
115 * issues, we want to avoid read-modify-write of entire words.
119 adds cnt=-1,in2 // br.ctop is repeat/until
135 * It is faster to put a stop bit in the loop here because it makes
136 * the pipeline shorter (and latency is what matters on short copies).

145 (p[MEM_LAT-1])st1 [dst]=val[MEM_LAT-1],1
155 * Large (>= 16 bytes) copying is done in a fancy way. Latency isn't
156 * an overriding concern here, but throughput is. We first do
157 * sub-word copying until the destination is aligned, then we check
158 * if the source is also aligned. If so, we do a simple load/store-loop
159 * until there are less than 8 bytes left over and then we do the tail,
160 * by storing the last few bytes using sub-word copying. If the source
161 * is not aligned, we branch off to the non-congruent loop.
169 * On Itanium, the pipeline itself runs without stalls. However, br.ctop
170 * seems to introduce an unavoidable bubble in the pipeline so the overall
171 * latency is 2 cycles/iteration. This gives us a _copy_ throughput
172 * of 4 byte/cycle. Still not bad.
