these are based on the ARM optimized-routines repository v20.05
(ef907c7a799a), with macro dependencies flattened out and memmove code
removed from memcpy. this change is somewhat unfortunate since having
the branch for memmove support in the large n case of memcpy is the
performance-optimal and size-optimal way to do both, but it makes
memcpy alone (static-linked) about 40% larger and suggests a policy
that use of memcpy as memmove is supported.
tabs used for alignment have also been replaced with spaces.

Allow the existing ARM assembler memcpy implementation to be used for
both big and little endian targets.

Rewrote the AVL tree implementation:
- It is now non-recursive with fixed stack usage (large enough for
worst case tree height). twalk and tdestroy are still recursive as
that's smaller/simpler.
- Moved unrelated interfaces into separate translation units.
- The node structure is changed to use indexed children instead of
left/right pointers, this simplifies the balancing logic.
- Using void * pointers instead of struct node * in various places,
because this better fits the api (node address is passed in a void**
argument, so it is tempting to incorrectly cast it to struct node **).
- As a further performance improvement the rebalancing now stops
when it is not needed (subtree height is unchanged). Otherwise
the behaviour should be the same as before (checked over generated
random inputs that the resulting tree shape is equivalent).
- Removed the old copyright notice (including prng related one: it
should be licensed under the same terms as the rest of the project).

these additions were made by scanning git log since the last major
update in commit 790580b2fc47bc20e613336cb937a120422a770c. in addition
to git-level commit authorship, "patch by" text in the commit message
was also scanned. this idiom was used in the past for patches that
underwent substantial edits when merging or where the author did not
provide a commit message. going forward, my intent is to use commit
authorship consistently for attribution.

these changes are the outcome of a long mailing list thread that took
place March 2016, "musl licensing". among minor other issues,
prospective users were not confident that the whole-project MIT
license would grant permission for files to which the COPYRIGHT file
expressed a belief that copyright not apply, if it turned out that
these files were actually subject to copyright.
in accordance with the original intent of applying a permissive
license to the project, which was that license issues not be an
obstacle to use, the text which was causing confusion is removed. no
new claims of copyright are made, but new text is added to clarify
that the grant of permissions applies to all files, and an explicit
grant of permission to use public headers and crt files without
attribution has been made.
this patch was reviewed and approved by all substantial contributors
to the affected files: Bobby Bingham, John Spencer (rofl0r), Nicholas
J. Kain, Rich Felker, Richard Pennington, Stefan Kristiansson, and
Szabolcs Nagy.

the approach of this implementation was heavily investigated prior to
adopting it. attempts to obtain similar performance with pure C code
were capping out at about 75% of the performance of the asm, with
considerably larger code size, and were fragile in that the compiler
would sometimes compile part of memcpy into a call to itself.
therefore, just using the asm seems to be the best option.
this commit is the first to make use of the new subarch-specific asm
framework. the new armel directory is the location for arm asm that
should not be used for all arm subarchs, only the default one. armhf
is the name of the little-endian hardfloat-ABI subarch, which can use
the exact same asm. in both cases, the build system finds the asm by
following a memcpy.sub file.
the other two subarchs, armeb and armebhf, would need a big-endian
variant of this code. it would not be hard to adapt the code to big
endian, but I will hold off on doing so until there is demand for it.

Smoothsort is an adaptive variant of heapsort. This version was
written by Valentin Ochs (apo) specifically for inclusion in musl. I
worked with him to get it working in O(1) memory usage even with giant
array element widths, and to optimize it heavily for size and speed.
It's still roughly 4 times as large as the old heap sort
implementation, but roughly 20 times faster given an almost-sorted
array of 1M elements (20 being the base-2 log of 1M), i.e. it really
does reduce O(n log n) to O(n) in the mostly-sorted case. It's still
somewhat slower than glibc's Introsort for random input, but now
considerably faster than glibc when the input is already sorted, or
mostly sorted.
