[PATCH v2 3/8] arm64: Import updated version of Cortex Strings' strlen

[Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com>]

From: Sam Tebbs <sam.tebbs@arm.com>

Import an updated version of the former Cortex Strings - now Arm
Optimized Routines - strcmp function. The latest version introduces
Advanced SIMD usage which rules it out for our purposes, but we can
still pick an intermediate improvement from the previous version,
namely string/aarch64/strlen.S at commit 98e4d6a from
https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines

Note that for simplicity Arm have chosen to contribute this code
to Linux under GPLv2 rather than the original MIT license.

+	   safely we have to do a page cross check first.  If there is a NUL
+	   byte we calculate the length from the 2 8-byte words using
+	   conditional select to reduce branch mispredictions (it is unlikely
+	   strlen will be repeatedly called on strings with the same length).
+
+	   If the string is longer than 16 bytes, we align src so don't need
+	   further page cross checks, and process 32 bytes per iteration
+	   using the fast NUL check.  If we encounter non-ASCII characters,
+	   fallback to a second loop using the full NUL check.
+
+	   If the page cross check fails, we read 16 bytes from an aligned
+	   address, remove any characters before the string, and continue
+	   in the main loop using aligned loads.  Since strings crossing a
+	   page in the first 16 bytes are rare (probability of
+	   16/MIN_PAGE_SIZE ~= 0.4%), this case does not need to be optimized.
+
+	   AArch64 systems have a minimum page size of 4k.  We don't bother
+	   checking for larger page sizes - the cost of setting up the correct
+	   page size is just not worth the extra gain from a small reduction in
+	   the cases taking the slow path.  Note that we only care about
+	   whether the first fetch, which may be misaligned, crosses a page
+	   boundary.  */
