[PATCH] powerpc: Add support for popcnt instructions

Anton Blanchard anton at samba.org
Fri Aug 13 12:28:09 EST 2010


POWER5 added popcntb, and POWER7 added popcntw and popcntd. As a first step
this patch does all the work out of line, but it would be nice to implement
them as inlines with an out of line fallback.

The performance issue with hweight was noticed when disabling SMT on a large
(192 thread) POWER7 box. The patch improves that testcase by about 8%.
