From fe3955cb297290b0d5dedf5d2694a7cef455010e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:14:17 +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.
