The x86-64 arch has a 'rep stosb' instruction, which can perform memset() using only a single instruction, given: %al =3D value (just like the second argument of memset()) %rdi =3D destination %rcx =3D length Before this patch: ``` 00000000000010c9 : 10c9: 48 89 f8 mov %rdi,%rax 10cc: 48 85 d2 test %rdx,%rdx 10cf: 74 0e je 10df 10d1: 31 c9 xor %ecx,%ecx 10d3: 40 88 34 08 mov %sil,(%rax,%rcx,1) 10d7: 48 ff c1 inc %rcx 10da: 48 39 ca cmp %rcx,%rdx 10dd: 75 f4 jne 10d3 10df: c3 ret ``` After this patch: ``` 0000000000001511 : 1511: 96 xchg %eax,%esi 1512: 48 89 d1 mov %rdx,%rcx 1515: 57 push %rdi 1516: f3 aa rep stos %al,%es:(%rdi) 1518: 58 pop %rax 1519: c3 ret ``` v2: - Use pushq %rdi / popq %rax (Alviro). - Use xchg %eax, %esi (Willy).
