Subject: [PATCH] mbcache: LLVMLinux: Remove double calculation from mbcache
From: Mark Charlebois <charlebm@...il.com>
The call to __builtin_log2 presumes there is a
double log2(double x) function defined in the kernel.
The call to hash_log is a call to hash_64 which is
defined in include/linux/hash.h
static __always_inline u64 hash_64(u64 val, unsigned int bits)
That means that __builtin_log2(NR_BG_LOCKS) is converting
NR_BG_LOCKS to a double and returning a double and then that
is converted to an unsigned int.
Using ilog2 is much more appropriate and efficient.
Another side effect of using __builtin_log2 is that is uses
__aeabi_* functions for ARM that require linking with libgcc.a.
