      Revert "fast_hash: avoid indirect function calls" · a77f9c5d
      Jay Vosburgh 提交于
      This reverts commit e5a2c899.
      
      	Commit e5a2c899 introduced an alternative_call, arch_fast_hash2,
      that selects between __jhash2 and __intel_crc4_2_hash based on the
      X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2.
      
      	Unfortunately, the alternative_call system does not appear to be
      suitable for use with C functions, as register usage is not handled
      properly for the called functions.  The __jhash2 function in particular
      clobbers registers that are not preserved when called via
      alternative_call, resulting in a panic for direct callers of
      arch_fast_hash2 on older CPUs lacking sse4_2.  It is possible that
      __intel_crc4_2_hash works merely by chance because it uses fewer
      registers.
      
      	This commit was suggested as the source of the problem by Jesse
      Gross <jesse@nicira.com>.

      Make hash_64() use a 64-bit multiply when appropriate · 23d0db76
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The hash_64() function historically does the multiply by the
      GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_64 number with explicit shifts and adds, because
      unlike the 32-bit case, gcc seems unable to turn the constant multiply
      into the more appropriate shift and adds when required.
      
      However, that means that we generate those shifts and adds even when the
      architecture has a fast multiplier, and could just do it better in
      hardware.
      
      Use the now-cleaned-up CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER (together with
      "is it a 64-bit architecture") to decide whether to use an integer
      multiply or the explicit sequence of shift/add instructions.

      lib: introduce arch optimized hash library · 71ae8aac
      Francesco Fusco 提交于
      We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in
      the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the
      hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific
      implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to
      jhash() for the generic case.
      
      On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l
      instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the
      instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation
      is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor.
      
      Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for
      accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well
      in follow-up work.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
