Okay, I won't insist.
Your version works good. The "rep stosq" setup time is still noticeable
even when we switch to it after 126:
129 byte block: 10.37 bytes/ns
128 byte block: 10.65 bytes/ns
127 byte block: 10.58 bytes/ns
126 byte block: 18.44 bytes/ns
125 byte block: 18.30 bytes/ns
124 byte block: 18.15 bytes/ns
but I don't think we should do anything about this.
Here
lea -1(%rdx),%rcx
cmp $126,%rcx
jae 2f
you'd have a stall, since cmp needs the result of lea. why not this?
lea -1(%rdx),%rcx
cmp $127,%rdx
jae 2f
then you can even move lea to "big buf" code part
(no point doing it in "small buf" code where it is not used).
Possible bug: this check seems misplaced:
2: test %rdx,%rdx
jz 1b
it should be before byte stores:
mov %sil,(%rdi)
mov %sil,-1(%rdi,%rdx)
cmp $2,%edx
jbe 1f
otherwise memset of zero length will fill two bytes, at buf[0] and buf[-1]
"sub $8,%rcx" can be folded into lea.
Please see attached file.
