Optimized implementations have been submitted upstream and have shown a significant improvement in network performance. Iperf performance increase: -l (size) 1 core result Optimized 64B 44-51Mb/s 1500B 4.9Gb/s 30000B 16.2Gb/s Original 64B 34-50.7Mb/s 1500B 4.7Gb/s 30000B 14.5Gb/s [Test Case] Generate traffic from one node to another using iperf (see above for config). [Regression Risk] These functions are obviously used heavily throughout the kernel, so a defect here could have significant impact. This risk is mitigated by using an implementation heavily based on the linaro string libraries (which are used in other places already, e.g. glibc), and through active testing of this patch on real hardware using a trusty-kernel base.
