This allows the compiler to detect and be able to optimize out byte swappings, e.g. in big endian to big endian moves. A ARCH_DEFINES_BUILTIN_BSWAP is added to allow an ARCH to select it when it wants to control HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAPxx definitions over those in the generic compiler headers. It can be dependent on a combination of byte swapping instruction availability, the instruction set version, and the state of support in different compiler versions. AFAICT, arm gcc got __builtin_bswap{32,64} support in 4.6, and for the 16-bit version in 4.8. This has a tiny benefit on vmlinux text size (gcc 4.6.4): multi_v7_defconfig: text data bss dec hex filename 3135208 188396 203344 3526948 35d124 vmlinux multi_v7_defconfig with builtin_bswap: text data bss dec hex filename 3135112 188396 203344 3526852 35d0c4 vmlinux exynos_defconfig: text data bss dec hex filename 4286605 360564 223172 4870341 4a50c5 vmlinux exynos_defconfig with builtin_bswap: text data bss dec hex filename 4286405 360564 223172 4870141 4a4ffd vmlinux The savings come mostly from device-tree related code, and some from drivers. Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@...escale.com> --- akin to: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/16016 based on linux-next-20130128. Depends on commit "compiler-gcc{3,4}.h: Use GCC_VERSION macro" by Daniel Santos <daniel.santos@...ox.com>, currently in the akpm branch. v4: - undo v2-3's addition of ARCH_DEFINES_BUILTIN_BSWAP per Boris and David - patch is much less intrusive :) v3: - moved out of uapi swab.h into arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h - moved ARCH_DEFINES_BUILTIN_BSWAP help text into commit message - moved GCC_VERSION >= 40800 ifdef into GCC_VERSION >= 40600 block v2: - at91 and lpd270 builds fixed by limiting to ARMv6 and above (i.e., ARM cores that have support for the 'rev' instruction). Otherwise, the compiler emits calls to libgcc's __bswapsi2 on these ARMv4/v5 builds (and arch ARM doesn't link with libgcc). All ARM defconfigs now have the same build status as they did without this patch (some are broken on linux-next). - move ARM check from generic compiler.h to arch ARM's swab.h. - pretty sure it should be limited to __KERNEL__ builds - add new ARCH_DEFINES_BUILTIN_BSWAP (see Kconfig help). - if set, generic compiler header does not set HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAPxx - not too sure about this having to be a new CONFIG_, but it's hard to find a place for it given linux/compiler.h doesn't include any arch-specific files. - move new selects to end of CONFIG_ARM's Kconfig select list, as is done in David Woodhouse's original patchseries for ppc/x86. arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h b/arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h index 537fc9b..e56acff 100644 --- a/arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h +++ b/arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h @@ -34,5 +34,13 @@ static inline __attribute_const__ __u32 __arch_swab32(__u32 x) } #define __arch_swab32 __arch_swab32 +#if GCC_VERSION >= 40600 +#define __HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAP32__ +#define __HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAP64__ +#if GCC_VERSION >= 40800 +#define __HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAP16__ +#endif +#endif + #endif #endif -- 1.7.9.7 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
