Hi Naohiro,

That's unfortunate - it seems like the hint is very slow, maybe even serializing...
We can work around if for now in GLIBC, but at some point distros will start to insert
BTI instructions by default, and then the performance hit will be bad.

I think the best option for now is to change BTI_C into NOP if AARCH64_HAVE_BTI
is not set. This avoids creating alignment issues in existing code (which is written
to assume the hint is present) and works for all string functions.

Cheers,
Wilco
