This optimized version is primarily targeted at cortex-a15.
Tested on all nexus devices using the system/extras/libc_test strlen test.
Tested alignments from 1 to 32 that are powers of 2.
Tested that strlen does not cross page boundaries at all alignments.
Speed improvements listed below:
cortex-a15
- Sizes >= 32 bytes, ~75% improvement.
- Sizes >= 1024 bytes, ~250% improvement.
cortex-a9
- Sizes >= 32 bytes, ~75% improvement.
- Sizes >= 1024 bytes, ~85% improvement.
krait
- Sizes >= 32 bytes, ~95% improvement.
- Sizes >= 1024 bytes, ~160% improvement.
