From 423216ed3273dae18c347ce52c5ecc193cfdd4e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2014 10:49:14 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Use CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER I ran some tests to compare hash_64 using shifts and multiplies. The results: POWER6: ~2x slower POWER7: ~2x faster POWER8: ~2x faster Now we have a proper config option, select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER on POWER7 and POWER8.
