Several of the following steps can also be simplified by omitting the masking when the result can't possibly cause a carry to propagate too far. This might also have a non negligible impact on code size. > + > +static inline unsigned int hweight16(unsigned int w) > +{ > + unsigned int res = (w & 0x5555) + ((w >> 1) & 0x5555); > + res = (res & 0x3333) + ((res >> 2) & 0x3333); > + res = (res & 0x0F0F) + ((res >> 4) & 0x0F0F); > + return (res & 0x00FF) + ((res >> 8) & 0x00FF); > +} > + > +static inline unsigned int hweight8(unsigned int w) > +{ > + unsigned int res = (w & 0x55) + ((w >> 1) & 0x55); > + res = (res & 0x33) + ((res >> 2) & 0x33); > + return (res & 0x0F) + ((res >> 4) & 0x0F); > +} > + > +static inline unsigned long hweight64(__u64 w) > +{ > +#if BITS_PER_LONG == 32 > + return hweight32((unsigned int)(w >> 32)) + hweight32((unsigned int)w); > +#elif BITS_PER_LONG == 64 > + u64 res; > + res = (w & 0x5555555555555555ul) + ((w >> 1) & 0x5555555555555555ul); > + res = (res & 0x3333333333333333ul) + ((res >> 2) & 0x3333333333333333ul); > + res = (res & 0x0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0Ful) + ((res >> 4) & 0x0F0F0F0F0F0F0F0Ful); > + res = (res & 0x00FF00FF00FF00FFul) + ((res >> 8) & 0x00FF00FF00FF00FFul); > + res = (res & 0x0000FFFF0000FFFFul) + ((res >> 16) & 0x0000FFFF0000FFFFul); > + return (res & 0x00000000FFFFFFFFul) + ((res >> 32) & 0x00000000FFFFFFFFul); > +#else > +#error BITS_PER_LONG not defined > +#endif > +} > + > +#endif /* _ASM_GENERIC_BITOPS_HWEIGHT_H_ */ > Regards, Gabriel [1] It might be better to write the first line unsigned res = w - ((w&0xaaaaaaaa)>>1); but I can never remember what the C standard guarantess about right shifts values (very little IIRC). I believe that it will work properly on all architectures that GCC supports, however, and that it will help on many. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
