Lynn Boger baec148767 bytes: Equal perf improvements on ppc64le/ppc64
The existing implementation for Equal and similar
functions in the bytes package operate on one byte at
at time.  This performs poorly on ppc64/ppc64le especially
when the byte buffers are large.  This change improves
those functions by loading and comparing double words where
possible.  The common code has been moved to a function
that can be shared by the other functions in this
file which perform the same type of comparison.
Further optimizations are done for the case where
>= 32 bytes are being compared.  The new function
memeqbody is used by memeq_varlen, Equal, and eqstring.

When running the bytes test with -test.bench=Equal

It was determined that the degradation in the smaller byte tests
were due to unfavorable code alignment of the single byte loop.

Fixes #14368

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.
