While working on mul_u64_u64_div_u64() improvements I realized that there is a better way to perform a 64x64->128 bits multiplication with overflow handling. Change from v3: - Added timings to commit log of patch #4. Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240708012749.2098373-2-nico@xxxxxxxxxxx/T/ Change from v2: - Fix last minute edit screw-up (missing one function return type). Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240707171919.1951895-1-nico@xxxxxxxxxxx/ Changes from v1: - Formalize condition for when overflow handling can be skipped. - Make this condition apply only if it can be determined at compile time (guard against the compiler not always inling code). - Keep the ARM assembly but apply the above changes to it as well. - Force __always_inline when optimizing for performance. - Augment test_div64.c with important edge cases.
