x86/bitops: Remove unused __sw_hweight64() assembly implementation on x86-32
Header cleanups in the fast-headers tree highlighted that we have an unused assembly implementation for __sw_hweight64(): WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "__sw_hweight64" [vmlinux] version ... __arch_hweight64() on x86-32 is defined in the arch/x86/include/asm/arch_hweight.h header as an inline, using __arch_hweight32(): #ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 static inline unsigned long __arch_hweight64(__u64 w) { return __arch_hweight32((u32)w) + __arch_hweight32((u32)(w >> 32)); } *But* there's also a __sw_hweight64() assembly implementation: arch/x86/lib/hweight.S SYM_FUNC_START(__sw_hweight64) #ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 ... #else /* CONFIG_X86_32 */ /* We're getting an u64 arg in (%eax,%edx): unsigned long hweight64(__u64 w) */ pushl %ecx call __sw_hweight32 movl %eax, %ecx # stash away result movl %edx, %eax # second part of input call __sw_hweight32 addl %ecx, %eax # result popl %ecx ret #endif But this __sw_hweight64 assembly implementation is unused - and it's essentially doing the same thing that the inline wrapper does. Remove the assembly version and add a comment about it.
