Subject: x86: optimize hweight32()
From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx>

Optimize hweight32 by using the same technique in hweight64.  The proof of
this technique can be found in the commit log for
f9b4192923fa6e38331e88214b1fe5fc21583fcc ("bitops: hweight() speedup").

The userspace benchmark on x86_32 showed 20% speedup with bitmap_weight()
which uses hweight32 to count bits for each unsigned long on 32bit
architectures.

int main(void)
{
	#define SZ (1024 * 1024 * 512)

	static DECLARE_BITMAP(bitmap, SZ) = {
	        [0 ... 100] = 1,
	};

	return bitmap_weight(bitmap, SZ);
}
