It aready uses crc32q instruction (added with SSE4.2) with no assembler workarounds, so I figure pmovzxdq (part of SSE 4.1) doesn't make it any worse. The annoying thing about doing it with macros is that it would be a PITA to support a memory operand; I'd probably have to punt to .byte. > Putting data into .text seems wrong - it should go into .rodata. I don't really care, but it's being accessed PC-relative the same as a jump table that's already in .text, so I just figured I'd be lazy. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
