[PATCH 3/3] Optimise get_order() [ver #2]

From: David Howells
Date: Sat Apr 17 2010 - 10:07:44 EST


Optimise get_order() to use bit scanning instructions if such exist rather than
a loop. Also, make it possible to use get_order() in static initialisations
too by building it on top of ilog2() in the constant parameter case.

This has been tested for i386 and x86_64 using the following userspace program,
and for FRV by making appropriate substitutions for fls() and fls64(). It will
abort if the case for get_order() deviates from the original except for the
order of 0, for which get_order() produces an undefined result. This program
tests both dynamic and static parameters.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define BITS_PER_LONG 64
#else
#define BITS_PER_LONG 32
#endif

#define PAGE_SHIFT 12

}

{
#if BITS_PER_LONG == 64

asm("bsrq %1,%0"

return bitpos + 1;
#else
__u32 h = x >> 32, l = x;
int bitpos = -1;

"subl %2,%0 \n"

Disassembling the x86_64 version of the above code shows:

0000000000400510 <old_get_order>:
400510: 48 83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%rdi
400514: b8 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffff,%eax
400519: 48 c1 ef 0b shr $0xb,%rdi
40051d: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%rax)
400520: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax
400523: 48 d1 ef shr %rdi
400526: 75 f8 jne 400520 <old_get_order+0x10>
400528: f3 c3 repz retq
40052a: 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)

0000000000400530 <__get_order>:
400530: 48 83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%rdi
400534: 48 c7 c0 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffffffffffff,%rax
40053b: 48 c1 ef 0c shr $0xc,%rdi
40053f: 48 0f bd c7 bsr %rdi,%rax
400543: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax
400546: c3 retq
400547: 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
40054e: 00 00

As can be seen, the new __get_order() function is simpler than the
old_get_order() function.
