Lynn Boger 1e28dce80a bytes: improve performance for bytes.Compare on ppc64x
This improves the performance for byte.Compare by rewriting
the cmpbody function in runtime/asm_ppc64x.s.  The previous code
had a simple loop which loaded a pair of bytes and compared them,
which is inefficient for long buffers.  The updated function checks
for 8 or 32 byte chunks and then loads and compares double words where
possible.

Because the byte.Compare result indicates greater or less than,
the doubleword loads must take endianness into account, using a
byte reversed load in the little endian case.

Fixes #17433

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
