2010-04-06 | x86: Add optimized popcnt variants | Borislav Petkov | |
Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function, popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function 0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the default lib/hweight.c sw versions. A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

2010-04-06 | bitops: Optimize hweight() by making use of compile-time evaluation | Peter Zijlstra | |
Rename the extisting runtime hweight() implementations to __arch_hweight(), rename the compile-time versions to __const_hweight() and then have hweight() pick between them. Suggested-by: H.
