x86/lib: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2016-07-14T13:06:58+00:00

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed a couple implicit header usage issues that were fixed.

x86/i386: Use less assembly in strlen(), speed things up a bit

2011-12-12T17:33:42+00:00

Current i386 strlen() hardcodes NOT/DEC sequence. DEC is
mentioned to be suboptimal on Core2. So, put only REPNE SCASB
sequence in assembly, compiler can do the rest.

The difference in generated code is like below (MCORE2=y):

	:
		push   %edi
		mov    $0xffffffff,%ecx
		mov    %eax,%edi
		xor    %eax,%eax
		repnz scas %es:(%edi),%al
		not    %ecx

	-	dec    %ecx
	-	mov    %ecx,%eax
	+	lea    -0x1(%ecx),%eax

		pop    %edi
		ret

i386: Remove strrchr assembler implementation

2007-10-17T18:16:23+00:00

The constraints in the inline assembler implementation of i386
strrchr() were incorrect and break the build with recent gcc 4.3.
Since there are only very few callers of strrchr() and none of them
are performance relevant just remove the assembler implementation
and use the C fallback instead.
