AFAICT it should never reach that if the amount to copy is zero bytes,
so the check seems to be superfluous:
sltu t2, len, NBYTES <- check for < NBYTES (4/8 bit
depending on 32/64 bit)
and t1, dst, ADDRMASK
PREFS( 0, 1*32(src) )
PREFD( 1, 1*32(dst) )
bnez t2, .Lcopy_bytes_checklen\@ <- skip to
copy_bytes_checklen if < NBYTES
and t0, src, ADDRMASK
PREFS( 0, 2*32(src) )
PREFD( 1, 2*32(dst) )
#ifndef CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR6
bnez t1, .Ldst_unaligned\@
nop
bnez t0, .Lsrc_unaligned_dst_aligned\@
#else
or t0, t0, t1
bnez t0, .Lcopy_unaligned_bytes\@ <- only outside place to
branch to it, and only reachable if len >= NBYTES bytes.
#endif
And in the loop itself each COPY_BYTE() will already break out if len
becomes zero, so the unconditional b 1b should also never be reached
with len == 0 in that case..
But maybe I overlooked something.
