+ /* Since strings are short on average, we check the first 16 bytes
+ of the string for a NUL character. In order to do an unaligned ldp
+ safely we have to do a page cross check first. If there is a NUL
+ byte we calculate the length from the 2 8-byte words using
+ conditional select to reduce branch mispredictions (it is unlikely
+ strlen will be repeatedly called on strings with the same length).
+
+ If the string is longer than 16 bytes, we align src so don't need
+ further page cross checks, and process 32 bytes per iteration
+ using the fast NUL check. If we encounter non-ASCII characters,
+ fallback to a second loop using the full NUL check.
+
+ If the page cross check fails, we read 16 bytes from an aligned
+ address, remove any characters before the string, and continue
+ in the main loop using aligned loads. Since strings crossing a
+ page in the first 16 bytes are rare (probability of
+ 16/MIN_PAGE_SIZE ~= 0.4%), this case does not need to be optimized.
+
+ AArch64 systems have a minimum page size of 4k. We don't bother
+ checking for larger page sizes - the cost of setting up the correct
+ page size is just not worth the extra gain from a small reduction in
+ the cases taking the slow path. Note that we only care about
+ whether the first fetch, which may be misaligned, crosses a page
+ boundary. */
