From: Zhaoxiu Zeng <zhaoxiu.zeng@xxxxxxxxx>
Because some architectures (alpha, armv6, etc.) don't provide hardware division,
the mod operation is slow! Binary GCD algorithm uses simple arithmetic operations,
it replaces division with arithmetic shifts, comparisons, and subtractions.
I have compiled successfully with x86_64_defconfig and i386_defconfig.
Changes to V2:
- Add a new Kconfig variable CPU_NO_EFFICIENT_FFS
- Separate into two versions by CPU_NO_EFFICIENT_FFS
- Return directly from the loop, rather than using break().
- Use "r &= -r" mostly because it's clearer.
- Improve a little bit in even/odd version
Changes to V1:
- Don't touch Kconfig, remove the Euclidean algorithm implementation
- Don't use the "even-odd" variant
- Use __ffs if the CPU has efficient __ffs
