From 2fdd053bc7fb5ed1f61533fd66d9ebd2a22cc282 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 16:46:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: enable ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP By using the compiler intrinsics instead of hand-crafted opaque inline assembler for byte-swapping, we let the compiler see what's actually happening and it gets to use lwbrx/stwbrx instructions instead of a normal load/store coupled with a sequence of rlwimi instructions to move bits around. Compiled-tested only. It gave a code size reduction of almost 4% for ext2, and more like 2.5% for ext3/ext4. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Acked-by: H.
