With the fls() functions as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h
GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter.
This patch replaces __fls() by the builtin function, and modifies
fls() and fls64() to use builtins instead of inline assembly
For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same:
int testfls(unsigned int x)
{
return fls(x);
}
unsigned long test__fls(unsigned long x)
{
return __fls(x);
}
int testfls64(__u64 x)
{
return fls64(x);
}
