Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.23,
which supports CRC32 instruction mnemonic.
Replace the byte-wise specification of CRC32 with this proper mnemonic.
The compiler is now able to pass memory operand to the instruction,
so there is no need for a temporary register anymore.
Some examples of the improvement:
12a: 48 8b 08 mov (%rax),%rcx
12d: f2 48 0f 38 f1 f1 crc32q %rcx,%rsi
133: 48 83 c0 08 add $0x8,%rax
137: 48 39 d0 cmp %rdx,%rax
13a: 75 ee jne 12a <crc32c_intel_update+0x1a>
to:
125: f2 48 0f 38 f1 06 crc32q (%rsi),%rax
12b: 48 83 c6 08 add $0x8,%rsi
12f: 48 39 d6 cmp %rdx,%rsi
132: 75 f1 jne 125 <crc32c_intel_update+0x15>
and:
146: 0f b6 08 movzbl (%rax),%ecx
149: f2 0f 38 f0 f1 crc32b %cl,%esi
14e: 48 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%rax
152: 48 39 d0 cmp %rdx,%rax
155: 75 ef jne 146 <crc32c_intel_update+0x36>
to:
13b: f2 0f 38 f0 02 crc32b (%rdx),%eax
140: 48 83 c2 01 add $0x1,%rdx
144: 48 39 ca cmp %rcx,%rdx
147: 75 f2 jne 13b <crc32c_intel_update+0x2b>
As the compiler has some more freedom w.r.t. register allocation,
there is also a couple of reg-reg moves removed.
There are no hidden states for CRC32 insn, so there is no need to mark
assembly as volatile.
v2: Introduce CRC32_INST define.
