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
