Subject: [PATCH] x86/hweight: Fix and improve __arch_hweight{32,64}() assembly
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 21:08:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250310200817.33581-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

a) Use ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT to prevent inline asm that includes call
instruction from being scheduled before the frame pointer gets set
up by the containing function, causing objtool to print a "call
without frame pointer save/setup" warning.

b) Use asm_inline to instruct the compiler that the size of asm()
is the minimum size of one instruction, ignoring how many instructions
the compiler thinks it is. ALTERNATIVE macro that expands to several
pseudo directives causes instruction length estimate to count
more than 20 instructions.

c) Use named operands in inline asm.

More inlining causes slight increase in the code size:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
27261832        4640296  814660 32716788        1f337f4 vmlinux-new.o
27261222        4640320  814660 32716202        1f335aa vmlinux-old.o
