where the source register is also the first destination register. If this is the case, and we raise an exception in the middle of the instruction, for example the load is across two pages and the second page isn't mapped, QEMU will have overwritten the address with invalid data. This is a valid behaviour in most cases, with the exception of when a destination register is also use in address generation. As such switch the order of the registers to ensure the address register is second so it will be written to second, after any exceptions have happened. This has been acknowledged in upstream QEMU, however as the workaround is simple also handle it here. Sponsored by: DARPA, AFRL |

= Cortex-A String Routines =
This package contains optimised string routines including memcpy(), memset(),
strcpy(), strlen() for the ARM Cortex-A series of cores.
Various implementations of these routines are provided, including generic
implementations for ARMv7-A cores with/without Neon, Thumb2 implementations
and generic implementations for cores supporting AArch64.
== Getting started ==
First configure and then install libcortex-strings.so. To make other
applications use this library, either add -lcortex-strings to the link
command or use LD_PRELOAD to load the library into existing applications.
Our intent is to get these routines into the common C libraries such
as GLIBC, Bionic, and Newlib. Your system may already include them!
== Contents ==
* src/ contains the routines themselves
* tests/ contains the unit tests
* reference/ contains reference copies of other ARM-focused
implementations gathered from around the Internet
* benchmarks/ contains various benchmarks, tools, and scripts used to
check and report on the different implementations.
The src directory contains different variants organised by the
implementation they run on and optional features used. For example:
* src/thumb-2 contains generic non-NEON routines for AArch32 (with Thumb-2).
* src/arm contains tuned routines for Cortex-A class processors.
* src/aarch64 contains generic routines for AArch64.
* src/thumb contains generic routines for armv6-M (with Thumb).
== Reference versions ==
reference/ contains versions collected from various popular Open
Source libraries. These have been modified for use in benchmarking.
Please refer to the individual files for any licensing terms.
The routines were collected from the following releases:
* EGLIBC 2.13
* Newlib 1.19.0
* Bionic android-2.3.5_r1

== Notes and Limitations ==
Some of the implementations have been collected from other
projects and have a variety of licenses and copyright holders.
== Style ==
Assembly code attempts to follow the GLIBC coding convetions. They
are:
* Copyright headers in C style comment blocks
* Instructions indented with one tab
* Operands indented with one tab
* Text is wrapped at 70 characters
* End of line comments are fine
