[PATCH v2 0/2] Implement endianness swap macros for RISC-V

From: Ignacio Encinas
Date: Wed Mar 19 2025 - 17:10:41 EST


Motivated by [1]. A couple of things to note:

RISC-V needs a default implementation to fall back on. Such
implementation is available in include/uapi/linux/swab.h in the form of
___constant_swabXX macros. As include/uapi/linux/swab.h can't be
included from arch/riscv/include/asm/swab.h, the default implementation
has been moved into asm-generic in the first patch of the series.

Tested with crc_kunit as pointed out in [2]. I can't provide performance
numbers as I don't have RISC-V hardware yet.

Changes in v2:
- Introduce first patch factoring out the default implementation into
asm-generic

Patch 2:
- Remove blank line to make checkpatch happy
- Instead of duplicating the default implementation for swap macros,
leverage patch 1 and add an include to asm-generic/swab.h

- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250310-riscv-swab-v1-1-34652ef1ee96@xxxxxxxxxxxx
