powerpc: Use builtin functions for fls()/__fls()/fls64()
With the fls() functions as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter. This patch replaces __fls() by the builtin function, and modifies fls() and fls64() to use builtins instead of inline assembly For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same: int testfls(unsigned int x) { return fls(x); } unsigned long test__fls(unsigned long x) { return __fls(x); } int testfls64(__u64 x) { return fls64(x); } On PPC32, before the patch: 00000064 <testfls>: 64: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 68: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 6c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000070 <test__fls>: 70: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 74: 20 63 00 1f subfic r3,r3,31 78: 4e 80 00 20 blr 0000007c <testfls64>: 7c: 2c 03 00 00 cmpwi r3,0 80: 40 82 00 10 bne 90 <testfls64+0x14> 84: 7c 83 00 34 cntlzw r3,r4 88: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 8c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 90: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 94: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64 98: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC32, after the patch: 00000054 <testfls>: 54: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 58: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 5c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000060 <test__fls>: 60: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 64: 20 63 00 1f subfic r3,r3,31 68: 4e 80 00 20 blr 0000006c <testfls64>: 6c: 2c 03 00 00 cmpwi r3,0 70: 41 82 00 10 beq 80 <testfls64+0x14> 74: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 78: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64 7c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 80: 7c 83 00 34 cntlzw r3,r4 84: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,32 88: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC64, before the patch: 00000000000000a0 <.testfls>: a0: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 a4: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 a8: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 ac: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000000000000b0 <.test__fls>: b0: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 b4: 20 63 00 3f subfic r3,r3,63 b8: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 bc: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000000000000c0 <.testfls64>: c0: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 c4: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64 c8: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 cc: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC64, after the patch: 0000000000000090 <.testfls>: 90: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 94: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 98: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 9c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000000000000a0 <.test__fls>: a0: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 a4: 20 63 00 3f subfic r3,r3,63 a8: 4e 80 00 20 blr ac: 60 00 00 00 nop 00000000000000b0 <.testfls64>: b0: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 b4: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64 b8: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 bc: 4e 80 00 20 blr Those builtins have been in GCC since at least 3.4.6 (see https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/Other-Builtins.html ) Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
