I could adjust those branches in the sparc code into indirect calls but it's going to perform a bit poorly on older cpus. Something like this: diff --git a/arch/sparc/lib/hweight.S b/arch/sparc/lib/hweight.S index f9985f1..d21cf20 100644 --- a/arch/sparc/lib/hweight.S +++ b/arch/sparc/lib/hweight.S @@ -4,9 +4,9 @@ .text .align 32 ENTRY(__arch_hweight8) - ba,pt %xcc, __sw_hweight8 + sethi %hi(__sw_hweight8), %g1 + jmpl %g1 + %lo(__sw_hweight8), %g0 nop - nop ENDPROC(__arch_hweight8) EXPORT_SYMBOL(__arch_hweight8) .section .popc_3insn_patch, "ax" @@ -17,9 +17,9 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(__arch_hweight8) .previous ENTRY(__arch_hweight16) - ba,pt %xcc, __sw_hweight16 + sethi %hi(__sw_hweight16), %g1 + jmpl %g1 + %lo(__sw_hweight16), %g0 nop - nop ENDPROC(__arch_hweight16) EXPORT_SYMBOL(__arch_hweight16) .section .popc_3insn_patch, "ax" @@ -30,9 +30,9 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(__arch_hweight16) .previous ENTRY(__arch_hweight32) - ba,pt %xcc, __sw_hweight32 + sethi %hi(__sw_hweight32), %g1 + jmpl %g1 + %lo(__sw_hweight32), %g0 nop - nop ENDPROC(__arch_hweight32) EXPORT_SYMBOL(__arch_hweight32) .section .popc_3insn_patch, "ax" @@ -43,9 +43,9 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(__arch_hweight32) .previous ENTRY(__arch_hweight64) - ba,pt %xcc, __sw_hweight64 + sethi %hi(__sw_hweight16), %g1 + jmpl %g1 + %lo(__sw_hweight16), %g0 nop - nop ENDPROC(__arch_hweight64) EXPORT_SYMBOL(__arch_hweight64) .section .popc_3insn_patch, "ax" -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
