  23. // This is an enhanced version of the basic strlen. it includes a combination
  24. // of compute zero index (czx), parallel comparisons, speculative loads and
  25. // loop unroll using rotating registers.
  26. //
  27. // General Ideas about the algorithm:
  28. // The goal is to look at the string in chunks of 8 bytes.
  29. // so we need to do a few extra checks at the beginning because the
  30. // string may not be 8-byte aligned. In this case we load the 8byte
  31. // quantity which includes the start of the string and mask the unused
  32. // bytes with 0xff to avoid confusing czx.
  33. // We use speculative loads and software pipelining to hide memory
  34. // latency and do read ahead safely. This way we defer any exception.
  35. //
  36. // Because we don't want the kernel to be relying on particular
  37. // settings of the DCR register, we provide recovery code in case
  38. // speculation fails. The recovery code is going to "redo" the work using
  39. // only normal loads. If we still get a fault then we generate a
  40. // kernel panic. Otherwise we return the strlen as usual.
  41. //
  42. // The fact that speculation may fail can be caused, for instance, by
  43. // the DCR.dm bit being set. In this case TLB misses are deferred, i.e.,
  44. // a NaT bit will be set if the translation is not present. The normal
  45. // load, on the other hand, will cause the translation to be inserted
  46. // if the mapping exists.
  47. //
  48. // It should be noted that we execute recovery code only when we need
  49. // to use the data that has been speculatively loaded: we don't execute
  50. // recovery code on pure read ahead data.
  51. //
  52. // Remarks:
  53. // - the cmp r0,r0 is used as a fast way to initialize a predicate
  54. // register to 1. This is required to make sure that we get the parallel
  55. // compare correct.
  56. //
  57. // - we don't use the epilogue counter to exit the loop but we need to set
  58. // it to zero beforehand.
  59. //
  60. // - after the loop we must test for Nat values because neither the
  61. // czx nor cmp instruction raise a NaT consumption fault. We must be
  62. // careful not to look too far for a Nat for which we don't care.
  63. // For instance we don't need to look at a NaT in val2 if the zero byte
  64. // was in val1.
  65. //
  66. // - Clearly performance tuning is required.
