Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: enable ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2012 01:14:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1355966057.18919.100.camel@shinybook.infradead.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 955 bytes --]
By using the compiler intrinsics instead of hand-crafted opaque inline
assembler for byte-swapping, we let the compiler see what's actually
happening and it gets to use lwbrx/stwbrx instructions instead of a
normal load/store coupled with a sequence of rlwimi instructions to
move bits around.
Compiled-tested only. It gave a code size reduction of almost 4% for
ext2, and more like 2.5% for ext3/ext4.
