to opt in to using GCC's __builtin_bswapXX() intrinsics for byteswapping, and if we merge this now then the architecture maintainers can enable it for their arch during the next cycle without dependency issues. It's worth making it a par-arch opt-in, because although in *theory* the compiler should never do worse than hand-coded assembler (and of course it also ought to do a lot better on platforms like Atom and PowerPC which have load-and-swap or store-and-swap instructions), that isn't always the case. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46453 for example. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAlDRvNsACgkQdwG7hYl686O7KACeKQMiuZMLB9ctF5u0Iql+33PF +WAAnisvZ8HCUjG5E8DF6HWy45r4BjUp =eeUs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'byteswap-for-linus-20121219' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/byteswap Pull preparatory gcc intrisics bswap patch from David Woodhouse: "This single patch is effectively a no-op for now. It enables architectures to opt in to using GCC's __builtin_bswapXX() intrinsics for byteswapping, and if we merge this now then the architecture maintainers can enable it for their arch during the next cycle without dependency issues.
