Subject: [PATCH v4 next 7/9] lib: mul_u64_u64_div_u64() optimise multiply on 32bit x86
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 17:38:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029173828.3682-8-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029173828.3682-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
gcc generates horrid code for both ((u64)u32_a * u32_b) and (u64_a + u32_b).
As well as the extra instructions it can generate a lot of spills to stack
(including spills of constant zeros and even multiplies by constant zero).
mul_u32_u32() already exists to optimise the multiply.
Add a similar add_u64_32() for the addition.
Disable both for clang - it generates better code without them.
Move the 64x64 => 128 multiply into a static inline helper function
for code clarity.
No need for the a/b_hi/lo variables, the implicit casts on the function
calls do the work for us.
Should have minimal effect on the generated code.
Use mul_u32_u32() and add_u64_u32() in the 64x64 => 128 multiply
in mul_u64_add_u64_div_u64().

Changes for v4:
- merge in patch 8.
- Add comments about gcc being 'broken' for mixed 32/64 bit maths.
clang doesn't have the same issues.
- use a #defdine for define mul_add() to avoid 'defined but not used'
errors.
