powerpc: Replace ffz() by equivalent generic function
With the ffz() function as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter. This patch replaces ffz() by the generic function. The generic ffz(x) expects to never be called with ~x == 0 as written in the comment in include/asm-generic/bitops/ffz.h The only user of ffz() within arch/powerpc/ is platforms/512x/mpc5121_ads_cpld.c, which checks if x is not 0xff For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same: unsigned long testffz(unsigned long x) { return ffz(x); } On PPC32, before the patch: 00000018 <testffz>: 18: 7c 63 18 f9 not. r3,r3 1c: 40 82 00 0c bne 28 <testffz+0x10> 20: 38 60 00 20 li r3,32 24: 4e 80 00 20 blr 28: 7d 23 00 d0 neg r9,r3 2c: 7d 23 18 38 and r3,r9,r3 30: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 34: 20 63 00 1f subfic r3,r3,31 38: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC32, after the patch: 00000018 <testffz>: 18: 39 23 00 01 addi r9,r3,1 1c: 7d 23 18 78 andc r3,r9,r3 20: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 24: 20 63 00 1f subfic r3,r3,31 28: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC64, before the patch: 0000000000000030 <.testffz>: 30: 7c 60 18 f9 not. r0,r3 34: 38 60 00 40 li r3,64 38: 4d 82 00 20 beqlr 3c: 7c 60 00 d0 neg r3,r0 40: 7c 63 00 38 and r3,r3,r0 44: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 48: 20 63 00 3f subfic r3,r3,63 4c: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 50: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC64, after the patch: 0000000000000030 <.testffz>: 30: 38 03 00 01 addi r0,r3,1 34: 7c 03 18 78 andc r3,r0,r3 38: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 3c: 20 63 00 3f subfic r3,r3,63 40: 4e 80 00 20 blr Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
