Some architectures need __clzsi2() or __clzdi2() for __builtin_clz and

Thanks, this fixes the link error on m68k, so

Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It doesn't work for alpha (gcc-4.4.4):

ERROR: "__ctzdi2" [lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "__ctzdi2" [lib/lz4/lz4_compress.ko] undefined!

akpm3:/usr/src/25> nm vmlinux|grep ctzd
akpm3:/usr/src/25>

I assume the linker threw the code away.

No, the link errors are for __ctzdi2, not __clzdi2.
__ctzdi2 can be implemented using __ffs().

How's about we stop using __builtin_ctz[ll]() altogether?  Use N-fls()?

That was my first suggestion ;-)

btw, this:

int __weak __clzsi2(int val)
{
       return BITS_PER_LONG - fls(val);
}

looks wrong.  It will give a different result for 32- and 64-bit.

Indeed. It should be hardcoded 32.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
