[PATCH v3 0/5] sparc64: Optimize fls and __fls

From: Vijay Kumar
Date: Fri Oct 06 2017 - 12:55:24 EST


SPARC provides lzcnt instruction (with VIS3) which can be used to
optimize fls, __fls and fls64 functions. For the systems that supports
lzcnt instruction, we now do boot time patching to use sparc
optimized fls, __fls and fls64 functions.

v2->v3:
- Using ENTRY(), ENDPROC() for assembler functions.
- Removed BITS_PER_LONG from __fls.
- Using generic fls64().
- Replaced lzcnt instruction with .word directive.
v1->v2:
- Fixed delay slot issue.

sparc64: Define SPARC default fls and __fls
sparc64: Use lzcnt instruction for fls and __fls
