I'm no GCC tool chain expert, so I just have an understanding
question: Could anyone kindly give a brief explanation (*) of what the
advantage of this is on ARM?
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/16016
mentions "lwbrx/stwbrx on PowerPC, movbe on Atom". But for ARM?
I haven't understood yet why the __arch_swabXX() in
arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h [1] aren't sufficient? How can this be
done better? E.g. does anybody have a disassembly without/with this
change to illustrate that?
Many thanks and best regards
Dirk
(*) or in case this already done provide a link. I couldn't find it in
the discussion of this patch.
