    commit 96d6fd6c4060d739abb1822e7ad633af749532b2
    Author: Adhemerval Zanella <azanella@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

        powerpc: Optimized st{r,p}cpy for POWER8/PPC64
    
        This patch adds an optimized POWER8 strcpy using unaligned accesses.
        For strings up to 16 bytes the implementation first calculate the
        string size, like strlen, and issues a memcpy.  For larger strings,
        source is first aligned to 16 bytes and then tested over a loop that
        reads 16 bytes am combine the cmpb results for speedup.  Special case is
        added for page cross reads.
    
        It shows 30%-60% improvement over the optimized POWER7 one that uses
        only aligned accesses.
    
        ChangeLog:
    	2015-01-13  Adhemerval Zanella  <azanella@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    
    	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/Makefile [sysdep_routines]: Add
    	strcpy-power8 and stpcpy-power8 objects.
    	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
    	(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add __strcpy_power8 and __stpcpy_power8
    	implementations.
    	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/stpcpy-power8.S: New file:
    	multiarch stpcpy implementation for POWER8.
    	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strcpy-power8.S: New file;
    	multiarch strcpy implementation for POWER8.
