[PATCH v6] eal/x86: optimize memcpy of small sizes

Morten Brørup
2026-01-12T12:03:44Z

The implementation for copying up to 64 bytes does not depend on address
alignment with the size of the CPU's vector registers, so the code
handling this was moved from the various implementations to the common
function.

Furthermore, the function for copying less than 16 bytes was replaced with
a smarter implementation using fewer branches and potentially fewer
load/store operations.
This function was also extended to handle copying of up to 16 bytes,
instead of up to 15 bytes. This small extension reduces the code path for
copying two pointers.

These changes provide two benefits:
1. The memory footprint of the copy function is reduced.
Previously there were two instances of the compiled code to copy up to 64
bytes, one in the "aligned" code path, and one in the "generic" code path.
Now there is only one instance, in the "common" code path.
2. The performance for copying up to 64 bytes is improved.
The memcpy performance test shows cache-to-cache copying of up to 32 bytes
now only takes 2 cycles (5 cycles for 64 bytes) versus ca. 6.5 cycles
before this patch.

And finally, the missing implementation of rte_mov48() was added.

---
v6:
* Went back to using rte_uintN_alias structures for copying instead of
using memcpy(). They were there for a reason.
(Inspired by the discussion about optimizing the checksum function.)
* Removed note about copying uninitialized data.
* Added __rte_restrict to source and destination addresses.
Updated function descriptions from "should" to "must" not overlap.
* Changed rte_mov48() AVX implementation to copy 32+16 bytes instead of
copying 32 + 32 overlapping bytes. (Konstantin)
* Ignoring "-Wstringop-overflow" is not needed, so it was removed.
v5:
* Reverted v4: Replace SSE2 _mm_loadu_si128() with SSE3 _mm_lddqu_si128().
It was slower.
* Improved some comments. (Konstantin Ananyev)
* Moved the size range 17..32 inside the size <= 64 branch, so when
building for SSE, the generated code can start copying the first
16 bytes before comparing if the size is greater than 32 or not.
* Just require RTE_MEMCPY_AVX for using rte_mov32() in rte_mov33_to_64().
v4:
* Replace SSE2 _mm_loadu_si128() with SSE3 _mm_lddqu_si128().
v3:
* Fixed typo in comment.
v2:
* Updated patch title to reflect that the performance is improved.
* Use the design pattern of two overlapping stores for small copies too.
* Expanded first branch from size < 16 to size <= 16.
* Handle more build time constant copy sizes.
