Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 1/4] tools/nolibc: x86-64: Use `rep movsb` for `memcpy()` and `memmove()`
Simplify memcpy() and memmove() on the x86-64 arch.
The x86-64 arch has a 'rep movsb' instruction, which can perform
memcpy() using only a single instruction, given:
%rdi = destination
%rsi = source
%rcx = length
Additionally, it can also handle the overlapping case by setting DF=1
(backward copy), which can be used as the memmove() implementation.
Before this patch:
```
00000000000010ab <memmove>:
10ab: 48 89 f8 mov %rdi,%rax
10ae: 31 c9 xor %ecx,%ecx
10b0: 48 39 f7 cmp %rsi,%rdi
10b3: 48 83 d1 ff adc $0xffffffffffffffff,%rcx
10b7: 48 85 d2 test %rdx,%rdx
10ba: 74 25 je 10e1 <memmove+0x36>
10bc: 48 83 c9 01 or $0x1,%rcx
10c0: 48 39 f0 cmp %rsi,%rax
10c3: 48 c7 c7 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffffffffffff,%rdi
10ca: 48 0f 43 fa cmovae %rdx,%rdi
10ce: 48 01 cf add %rcx,%rdi
10d1: 44 8a 04 3e mov (%rsi,%rdi,1),%r8b
10d5: 44 88 04 38 mov %r8b,(%rax,%rdi,1)
10d9: 48 01 cf add %rcx,%rdi
10dc: 48 ff ca dec %rdx
10df: 75 f0 jne 10d1 <memmove+0x26>
10e1: c3 ret
00000000000010e2 <memcpy>:
10e2: 48 89 f8 mov %rdi,%rax
10e5: 48 85 d2 test %rdx,%rdx
10e8: 74 12 je 10fc <memcpy+0x1a>
10ea: 31 c9 xor %ecx,%ecx
10ec: 40 8a 3c 0e mov (%rsi,%rcx,1),%dil
10f0: 40 88 3c 08 mov %dil,(%rax,%rcx,1)
10f4: 48 ff c1 inc %rcx
10f7: 48 39 ca cmp %rcx,%rdx
10fa: 75 f0 jne 10ec <memcpy+0xa>
10fc: c3 ret
```
After this patch:
```
// memmove is an alias for memcpy
000000000040133b <memcpy>:
40133b: 48 89 d1 mov %rdx,%rcx
40133e: 48 89 f8 mov %rdi,%rax
401341: 48 89 fa mov %rdi,%rdx
401344: 48 29 f2 sub %rsi,%rdx
401347: 48 39 ca cmp %rcx,%rdx
40134a: 72 03 jb 40134f <memcpy+0x14>
40134c: f3 a4 rep movsb %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
40134e: c3 ret
40134f: 48 8d 7c 0f ff lea -0x1(%rdi,%rcx,1),%rdi
401354: 48 8d 74 0e ff lea -0x1(%rsi,%rcx,1),%rsi
401359: fd std
40135a: f3 a4 rep movsb %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
40135c: fc cld
40135d: c3 ret
```
v3:
- Make memmove as an alias for memcpy (Willy).
- Make the forward copy the likely case (Alviro).
v2:
- Fix the broken memmove implementation (David).
