Subject: [PATCH v4 8/8] riscv: lib: add strrchr() implementation
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 16:58:41 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260123085841.212468-9-jiangfeng@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260123085841.212468-1-jiangfeng@kylinos.cn>
Add an assembly implementation of strrchr() for RISC-V.
This implementation minimizes instruction count and avoids unnecessary
memory access to the stack. The performance benefits are most visible
on small workloads (1-16 bytes) where the architectural savings in
function overhead outweigh the execution time of the scan loop.
Benchmark results (QEMU TCG, rv64):
Length | Original (MB/s) | Optimized (MB/s) | Improvement
-------|-----------------|------------------|------------
1 B | 20 | 21 | +5.0%
7 B | 111 | 120 | +8.1%
16 B | 189 | 199 | +5.3%
512 B | 361 | 382 | +5.8%
4096 B | 388 | 391 | +0.8%
