H A Dlog2.hf0d1b0b3 Fri Dec 08 04:37:49 CST 2006 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel

This facility provides three entry points:

ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

f0d1b0b3 Fri Dec 08 04:37:49 CST 2006 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel

This facility provides three entry points:

ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

f0d1b0b3 Fri Dec 08 04:37:49 CST 2006 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel

This facility provides three entry points:

ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.
