[PATCH 7/9] xen/bitops: Implement hweight64() in terms of hweightl()

Andrew Cooper posted 9 patches 3 months ago
There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 7/9] xen/bitops: Implement hweight64() in terms of hweightl()
Posted by Andrew Cooper 3 months ago
... and drop generic_hweight64().

This is identical on all architectures except ARM32.  Add one extra SELF_TEST
to check that hweight64() works when the input is split in half.

No functional change.

This assume BITS_PER_LONG == 32, which of course is true right now, but
doesn't need to be in general. Better add an explicit cast to uint32_t
(or masking by 0xffffffffU)?

This is part of the point of putting in the self-tests.  They're
intended to catch things like this in new build environments.

Although, I think we've got enough cases which will #error on
BITS_PER_LONG not being 32 or 64.

Again, this is modelled after f[fl]s64() which have the same
expectations about the BITS_PER_LONG != 64 case.

I don't think I saw any testcase where the result would be wrong if
this split didn't truncate x to the low 32 bits on the rhs of the +.

My take on this is: Such checks (#error or whatever else precaution)
should like in every single place where violating the assumptions
made would matter. Or else - how do you locate all the places that
need changing?

Both of them are fine afaict. fls64() has an explicit intermediate
variable of type uint32_t, and ffs64() has a (uint32_t)x as part
of the conditional expression achieving the intended effect.

Anyway, why not use hweight32() instead of hweightl() here? That'll
make things very explicit.

That's arguably an error in the choice of test cases.

Although, they're just my best guesses at some

Whomever gets to add RISCV-128 support will have to inspect every use of
BITS_PER_LONG, irrespective of #error/BUILD_BUG_ON()/etc.

So, the answer is `grep`.

I'm not advocating that we stop helping out with #error, but it's
unrealistic to expect that only addressing the build errors will result
in a working Xen for BITS_PER_LONG==128.

hweight32() doesn't exist until the next patch in the series.

Although looking at the end result, I can't figure out why I thought it
was necessary to transform hweight64 first.

I'll swap this patch and the next one, and then use hweight32().

I've found out why.

The hweight32() patch is the one that deletes generic_hweight32(), but
generic_hweight64() uses it.

I can work around this, but it means keeping generic_hweight32() around
and deleting it in the hweight64() patch.

Or simply fold both patches?
