-// int strlen_user(char *)
-// ------------------------
-// Returns:
-// - length of string + 1
-// - 0 in case an exception is raised
-//
-// This is an enhanced version of the basic strlen_user. it includes a
-// combination of compute zero index (czx), parallel comparisons, speculative
-// loads and loop unroll using rotating registers.
-//
-// General Ideas about the algorithm:
-// The goal is to look at the string in chunks of 8 bytes.
-// so we need to do a few extra checks at the beginning because the
-// string may not be 8-byte aligned. In this case we load the 8byte
-// quantity which includes the start of the string and mask the unused
-// bytes with 0xff to avoid confusing czx.
-// We use speculative loads and software pipelining to hide memory
-// latency and do read ahead safely. This way we defer any exception.
-//
-// Because we don't want the kernel to be relying on particular
-// settings of the DCR register, we provide recovery code in case
-// speculation fails. The recovery code is going to "redo" the work using
-// only normal loads. If we still get a fault then we return an
-// error (ret0=0). Otherwise we return the strlen+1 as usual.
-// The fact that speculation may fail can be caused, for instance, by
-// the DCR.dm bit being set. In this case TLB misses are deferred, i.e.,
-// a NaT bit will be set if the translation is not present. The normal
-// load, on the other hand, will cause the translation to be inserted
-// if the mapping exists.
-//
-// It should be noted that we execute recovery code only when we need
-// to use the data that has been speculatively loaded: we don't execute
-// recovery code on pure read ahead data.
-//
-// Remarks:
-// - the cmp r0,r0 is used as a fast way to initialize a predicate
-// register to 1. This is required to make sure that we get the parallel
-// compare correct.
-//
-// - we don't use the epilogue counter to exit the loop but we need to set
-// it to zero beforehand.
-//
-// - after the loop we must test for Nat values because neither the
-// czx nor cmp instruction raise a NaT consumption fault. We must be
-// careful not to look too far for a Nat for which we don't care.
-// For instance we don't need to look at a NaT in val2 if the zero byte
-// was in val1.
-//
-// - Clearly performance tuning is required.
