Exposes the swapping logic from PR 40454 as `pub unsafe fn ptr::swap_nonoverlapping` under feature swap_nonoverlapping This is most helpful for compound types where LLVM didn't vectorize the loop. Highlight: bench slice::rotate_medium_by727_strings gets 38% faster.

Reuse the mem::swap optimizations to speed up slice::rotate This is most helpful for compound types where LLVM didn't vectorize the loop. Highlight: bench slice::rotate_medium_by727_strings gets 38% faster. Exposes the swapping logic from PR #40454 as `pub unsafe fn ptr::swap_nonoverlapping` under library feature `swap_nonoverlapping` #42818. (The new method seemed plausible, and was the simplest way to share the logic. I'm not attached to it, though, so let me know if a different way would be better.)

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should this use .checked_mul(count).unwrap()?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think that's necessary, because of the safety requirement that the arguments refer to valid ranges of memory -- if it's valid, its length must fit in a usize.

This is a workaround for rust-lang#42778, which was git-bisected to rust-lang#40454's optimizations to `mem::swap`, later moved to `ptr` in rust-lang#42819. Natively compiled rustc couldn't even compile stage1 libcore on powerpc64 and s390x, but they work fine without this `repr(simd)`. Since powerpc64le works OK, it seems probably related to being big-endian. The underlying problem is not yet known, but this at least makes those architectures functional again in the meantime. cc @arielb1
