Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] bitfield: add FIELD_GET_SIGNED()
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:41:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427214127.406067-2-ynorov@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427214127.406067-1-ynorov@nvidia.com>

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
