x86, generic: mark complex bitops.h inlines as __always_inline

2009-01-13T17:56:30Z

Impact: reduce kernel image size Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops. Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem. Probably should be done for other architectures too. Ingo then found a better fix that only requires a single line change, but it unfortunately only works on gcc 4.3. On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y. With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build: 6116998 1138540 883788 8139326 7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch 6137043 1138540 883788 8159371 7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining ~20k / 0.3% difference.

x86: make 'constant_test_bit()' take an unsigned bit number

2009-01-09T20:49:50Z

Ingo noticed that using signed arithmetic seems to confuse the gcc inliner, and make it potentially decide that it's all too complicated. (Yeah, yeah, it's a constant. It's always positive. Still..) Based-on: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

x86: Implement change_bit with immediate operand as "lock xorb"

2008-11-05T17:51:02Z

Impact: Minor optimization. Implement change_bit with immediate bit count as "lock xorb". This is similar to "lock orb" and "lock andb" for set_bit and clear_bit functions. Signed-off-by: Uros Bizjak Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards

2008-10-23T05:55:23Z

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

x86, um: ... and asm-x86 move
