[PATCH v4 0/2] Implement endianess swap macros for RISC-V
Posted by Ignacio Encinas 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Motivated by [1]. A couple of things to note:

RISC-V needs a default implementation to fall back on. There is one
available in include/uapi/linux/swab.h but that header can't be included
from arch/riscv/include/asm/swab.h. Therefore, the first patch in this
series moves the default implementation into asm-generic.

Tested with crc_kunit as pointed out here [2]. I can't provide
performance numbers as I don't have RISC-V hardware yet.

Changes in v4:

- Add missing include in the 1st patch, reported by 
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/202504042300.it9RcOSt-lkp@intel.com/
- Rewrite the ARCH_SWAB macro as suggested by Arnd
- Define __arch_swab64 for CONFIG_32BIT (Ben)
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250403-riscv-swab-v3-0-3bf705d80e33@iencinas.com

Arnd, I know you don't like Patch 1 but I tried your suggestions and
couldn't make them work. Please let me know if I missed anything [3] [4]

[4] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/b3b59747-0484-4042-bdc4-c067688e3bfe@iencinas.com/

Changes in v3:

PATCH 2:
  Use if(riscv_has_extension_likely) instead of asm goto (Eric). It 
  looks like both versions generate the same assembly. Perhaps we should 
  do the same change in other places such as arch/riscv/include/asm/bitops.h
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250319-riscv-swab-v2-0-d53b6d6ab915@iencinas.com

Changes in v2:
- Introduce first patch factoring out the default implementation into
  asm-generic
- Remove blank line to make checkpatch happy
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250310-riscv-swab-v1-1-34652ef1ee96@iencinas.com

Hi Arnd,

Do you think we can merge that for 6.16? It is nice improvement for us.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Arnd,

Gentle ping as we would like to merge this in the riscv tree but we need 
your ack (or nack).

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Ignacio,

Can you come up with a new version that only touches the riscv tree so 
that we can merge this in 6.17? Not ideal but I guess we can live with 
code duplication for now.

Thanks,

Alex

This seems fine to me, so 

Acked-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

It's asm-generic, though, so I usually try to wait for a review from 
Arnd for those.
