Subject: [PATCH -tip 2/2] x86/hweight: Use POPCNT when available with X86_NATIVE_CPU option
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2025 17:48:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250325164854.199420-2-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250325164854.199420-1-ubizjak@gmail.com>
Emit naked POPCNT instruction when available with X86_NATIVE_CPU
option. The compiler is not bound by ABI when emitting the instruction
without the fallback call to __sw_hweight{32,64}() library function
and has much more freedom to allocate input and output operands,
including memory input operand.
The code size of x86_64 defconfig (with X86_NATIVE_CPU option)
shrinks by 599 bytes:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 45/197 up/down: 843/-1442 (-599)
Total: Before=22710531, After=22709932, chg -0.00%
The asm changes from e.g.:
3bf9c: 48 8b 3d 00 00 00 00 mov 0x0(%rip),%rdi
3bfa3: e8 00 00 00 00 call 3bfa8 <...>
3bfa8: 90 nop
3bfa9: 90 nop
with:
34b: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
34d: f3 48 0f b8 c7 popcnt %rdi,%rax
in the .altinstr_replacement section
to:
3bfdc: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
3bfde: f3 48 0f b8 05 00 00 popcnt 0x0(%rip),%rax
3bfe5: 00 00
where there is no need for an entry in the .altinstr_replacement
section, shrinking all text sections by 9476 bytes:
text data bss dec hex filename
27267068 4643047 814852 32724967 1f357e7 vmlinux-old.o
27257592 4643047 814852 32715491 1f332e3 vmlinux-new.o
