Subject: [PATCH 09/10] microblaze: Add <asm/archhash.h>
Date: 25 May 2016 03:37:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160525073705.5792.qmail@ns.sciencehorizons.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CA+55aFxPSW+84KfQ1N_WmND-wtvgj2zQm8nFPkRcc+gyU=uing@mail.gmail.com>

Microblaze is an FPGA soft core that can be configured various ways.

If it is configured without a multiplier, the standard __hash_32()
will require a call to __mulsi3, which is a slow software loop.

Instead, use a shift-and-add sequence for the constant multiply.
GCC knows how to do this, but it's not as clever as some.

+ * Fortunately, most people who want to run Linux on Microblaze enable

+ * a supported configuration.
+ *
+ * With just a barrel shifter, we can implement an efficient constant
+ * multiply using shifts and adds.  GCC can find a 9-step solution, but
+ * this 6-step solution was found by Yevgen Voronenko's implementation
+ * of the Hcub algorithm at http://spiral.ece.cmu.edu/mcm/gen.html.
+ *
+ * That software is really not designed for a single multiplier this large,
+ * but if you run it enough times with different seeds, it'll find several
+ * 6-shift, 6-add sequences for computing x * 0x61C88647.  They are all
+ *	c = (x << 19) + x;
+ *	a = (x <<  9) + c;
+ *	b = (x << 23) + a;
+ *	return (a<<11) + (b<<6) + (c<<3) - b;
+ * with variations on the order of the final add.
+ *
+ * Without even a shifter, it's hopless; any hash function will suck.
