Annotated Snippet
It would be possible to speed up the loops by one cycle / word
respective one cycle / byte by forcing double source 1 alignment, unrolling
by a factor of two, and speculatively loading the second word / byte of
source 1; however, that would increase the overhead for loop setup / finish,
and strcmp might often terminate early. */

/* The zero-detection above can mis-detect 0x01 bytes as zeroes
because of carry-propagateion from a lower significant zero byte.
We can compensate for this by checking that bit0 is zero.
This compensation is not necessary in the step where we
get a low estimate for r2, because in any affected bytes
we already have 0x00 or 0x01, which will remain unchanged
when bit 7 is cleared. */

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/linkage.h`.
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/arc.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
