Rich Felker 122d67f846 optimize two-way strstr and memmem bad character shift
first, the condition (mem && k < p) is redundant, because mem being
nonzero implies the needle is periodic with period exactly p, in which
case any byte that appears in the needle must appear in the last p
bytes of the needle, bounding the shift (k) by p.

second, the whole point of replacing the shift k by mem (=l-p) is to
prevent shifting by less than mem when discarding the memory on shift,
in which case linear time could not be guaranteed. but as written, the
check also replaced shifts greater than mem by mem, reducing the
benefit of the shift. there is no possible benefit to this reduction of
the shift; since mem is being cleared, the full shift is valid and
more optimal. so only replace the shift by mem when it would be less
than mem.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
