x86: Add optimized popcnt variants 2010-04-06T22:52:11+00:00 Borislav Petkov borislav.petkov@amd.com 2010-03-05T16:34:46+00:00 d61931d89be506372d01a90d1755f6d0a9fafe2d Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function, popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function 0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the default lib/hweight.c sw versions. A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.
