Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Drop 32-bit asm string functions
Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2019 19:46:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191008194552.2176475-1-paul.burton@mips.com> (raw)
We have assembly implementations of strcpy(), strncpy(), strcmp() &
strncmp() which:
- Are simple byte-at-a-time loops with no particular optimizations. As
a comment in the code describes, they're "rather naive".
- Offer no clear performance advantage over the generic C
implementations - in microbenchmarks performed by Alexander Lobakin
the asm functions sometimes win & sometimes lose, but generally not
by large margins in either direction.
- Don't support 64-bit kernels, where we already make use of the
generic C implementations.
- Tend to bloat kernel code size due to inlining.
- Don't support CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
- Won't support nanoMIPS without rework.
For all of these reasons, delete the asm implementations & make use of
the generic C implementations for 32-bit kernels just like we already do
for 64-bit kernels.
