Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] bitfield: add FIELD_GET_SIGNED()
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:41:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427214127.406067-1-ynorov@nvidia.com> (raw)
The bitfields are designed in assumption that fields contain unsigned
integer values, thus extracting the values from the field implies
zero-extending.
Some drivers need to sign-extend their fields, and currently do it like:
dc_re += sign_extend32(FIELD_GET(0xfff000, tmp), 11);
dc_im += sign_extend32(FIELD_GET(0xfff, tmp), 11);
It's error-prone because it relies on user to provide the correct
index of the most significant bit and proper 32 vs 64 function flavor.
Thus, introduce a FIELD_GET_SIGNED(). With the new API, the above
snippet turns into the more convenient:
dc_re += FIELD_GET_SIGNED(0xfff000, tmp);
dc_im += FIELD_GET_SIGNED(0xfff, tmp);
It compiles (on x86_64) into just a couple instructions: shl and sar.
When the mask includes MSB, the '<< __builtin_clzll(mask)' part becomes
a NOP, and the compiler only emits a single sar:
long long foo(long long reg)
{
10: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
return FIELD_GET_SIGNED(GENMASK_ULL(63, 60), reg);
14: 48 89 f8 mov %rdi,%rax
17: 48 c1 f8 3c sar $0x3c,%rax
}
32-bit code generation is equally well. On arm32:
long long foo(long long reg)
{
return FIELD_GET_SIGNED(0x00f00000ULL, reg);
}
generates:
foo(long long):
lsls r1, r0, #8
asrs r0, r1, #28
asrs r1, r1, #31
bx lr

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260417173621.368914-1-ynorov@nvidia.com/
v2:
- more examples of the new API and code generation (Andy, David);
- fix #7 FIELD_GET() / FIELD_GET_SIGNED() typo (Ping-Ke);
- re-indent the macro (Andy, Peter);
Yury Norov (9):
