[RFC 06/12] asm-generic: unaligned: remove byteshift helpers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

In theory, compilers should be able to work this out themselves so we
can use a simpler version based on the swab() helpers.

I have verified that this works on all supported compiler versions
(gcc-4.9 and up, clang-10 and up). Looking at the object code produced by
gcc-11, I found that the impact is mostly a change in inlining decisions
that lead to slightly larger code.

In other cases, this version produces explicit byte swaps in place of
separate byte access, or comparing against pre-swapped constants.

While the source code is clearly simpler, I have not seen an indication
of the new version actually producing better code on Arm, so maybe
we want to skip this after all. From what I can tell, gcc recognizes
the byteswap pattern in the byteshift.h header and can turn it into
explicit instructions, but it does not turn a __builtin_bswap32() back
into individual bytes when that would result in better output, e.g.
when storing a byte-reversed constant.

I've included this patch in the series because Linus asked about
removing the byteshift version, but after trying it out, I'd
prefer to drop this and use the byteshift version for the
generic code as well.
