Subject: [PATCH 19/30] S390: Optimize strncmp and wcsncmp. (AND COMMON-CODE
 WCSNCMP - picked form upstream)

upstream-commit-id: cee82e70ccb7b2f054cd781b0a603ae244523e72
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-07/msg00087.html

common-code wcsncmp:
upstream-commit-id: 920a0395ba9fa5949ec87aaf5daa0259da16749d
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-04/msg00098.html

This patch provides optimized versions of strncmp and wcsncmp with the z13
vector instructions.

ChangeLog:

	* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strncmp-c.c: New File.
	* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strncmp-vx.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strncmp.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/wcsncmp-c.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/wcsncmp-vx.S: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/wcsncmp.c: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add strncmp and
	wcsncmp functions.
	* sysdeps/s390/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
	(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add ifunc test for strncmp, wcsncmp.
	* wcsmbs/wcsncmp.c (WCSNCMP): Define and use macro.
	* benchtests/bench-strncmp.c: Add wcsncmp support.
	* benchtests/bench-wcsncmp.c: New File.
	* benchtests/Makefile (wcsmbs-bench): Add wcsncmp.
