[PATCH 2/4] powerpc: Use builtin functions for fls()/__fls()/fls64()

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Fri Apr 21 2017 - 07:19:02 EST


With the fls() functions as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h
GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter.

This patch replaces __fls() by the builtin function, and modifies
fls() and fls64() to use builtins instead of inline assembly

For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same:

int testfls(unsigned int x)
{
return fls(x);
}

unsigned long test__fls(unsigned long x)
{
return __fls(x);
}

int testfls64(__u64 x)
{
return fls64(x);
}

Those builtins have been in GCC since at least 3.4.6 (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/Other-Builtins.html )
