2016-01-20	adapt build of arm memcpy asm not to use .sub files	Rich Felker	-1/+0
	this depends on commit 9f5eb77992b42d484d69e879d24ef86466f20f21, which made it possible to use a .c file for arch-specific replacements, and on commit 2f853dd6b9a95d5b13ee8f9df762125e0588df5d, the out-of-tree build support, which made it so that src//$(ARCH)/ 'replacement' files get used even if they don't match the base name of a .c file in the parent directory.
2013-08-14	add arm-optimized memcpy implementation from bionic libc	Rich Felker	-0/+1
	the approach of this implementation was heavily investigated prior to adopting it. attempts to obtain similar performance with pure C code were capping out at about 75% of the performance of the asm, with considerably larger code size, and were fragile in that the compiler would sometimes compile part of memcpy into a call to itself. therefore, just using the asm seems to be the best option. this commit is the first to make use of the new subarch-specific asm framework. the new armel directory is the location for arm asm that should not be used for all arm subarchs, only the default one. armhf is the name of the little-endian hardfloat-ABI subarch, which can use the exact same asm. in both cases, the build system finds the asm by following a memcpy.sub file. the other two subarchs, armeb and armebhf, would need a big-endian variant of this code. it would not be hard to adapt the code to big endian, but I will hold off on doing so until there is demand for it.
