|
|
// This is an enhanced version of the basic strlen. it includes a combination
|
|
// of compute zero index (czx), parallel comparisons, speculative loads and
|
|
// loop unroll using rotating registers.
|
|
//
|
|
// General Ideas about the algorithm:
|
|
// The goal is to look at the string in chunks of 8 bytes.
|
|
// so we need to do a few extra checks at the beginning because the
|
|
// string may not be 8-byte aligned. In this case we load the 8byte
|
|
// quantity which includes the start of the string and mask the unused
|
|
// bytes with 0xff to avoid confusing czx.
|
|
// We use speculative loads and software pipelining to hide memory
|
|
// latency and do read ahead safely. This way we defer any exception.
|
|
//
|
|
// Because we don't want the kernel to be relying on particular
|
|
// settings of the DCR register, we provide recovery code in case
|
|
// speculation fails. The recovery code is going to "redo" the work using
|
|
// only normal loads. If we still get a fault then we generate a
|
|
// kernel panic. Otherwise we return the strlen as usual.
|
|
//
|
|
// The fact that speculation may fail can be caused, for instance, by
|
|
// the DCR.dm bit being set. In this case TLB misses are deferred, i.e.,
|
|
// a NaT bit will be set if the translation is not present. The normal
|
|
// load, on the other hand, will cause the translation to be inserted
|
|
// if the mapping exists.
|
|
//
|
|
// It should be noted that we execute recovery code only when we need
|
|
// to use the data that has been speculatively loaded: we don't execute
|
|
// recovery code on pure read ahead data.
|
|
//
|
|
// Remarks:
|
|
// - the cmp r0,r0 is used as a fast way to initialize a predicate
|
|
// register to 1. This is required to make sure that we get the parallel
|
|
// compare correct.
|
|
//
|
|
// - we don't use the epilogue counter to exit the loop but we need to set
|
|
// it to zero beforehand.
|
|
//
|
|
// - after the loop we must test for Nat values because neither the
|
|
// czx nor cmp instruction raise a NaT consumption fault. We must be
|
|
// careful not to look too far for a Nat for which we don't care.
|
|
// For instance we don't need to look at a NaT in val2 if the zero byte
|
|
// was in val1.
|
|
//
|
|
// - Clearly performance tuning is required.
