[PATCH] ARM: Use udiv/sdiv for __aeabi_{u}idiv library functions

Thu Nov 7 14:20:42 EST 2013


If we're running on a v7 ARM CPU, detect if the CPU supports the
sdiv/udiv instructions and replace the signed and unsigned
division library functions with an sdiv/udiv instruction.

Running the perf messaging benchmark in pipe mode

 $ perf bench sched messaging -p

shows a modest improvement on my v7 CPU.

before:
(5.060 + 5.960 + 5.971 + 5.643 + 6.029 + 5.665 + 6.050 + 5.870 + 6.117 + 5.683) / 10 = 5.805

after:
(4.884 + 5.549 + 5.749 + 6.001 + 5.460 + 5.103 + 5.956 + 6.112 + 5.468 + 5.093) / 10 = 5.538

(5.805 - 5.538) / 5.805 = 4.6%

Should we add in the __div0() call if the denominator is 0?
