Subject[PATCH] MIPS: Rewrite `csum_tcpudp_nofold' in plain C
Recent commit 198688edbf77 ("MIPS: Fix inline asm input/output type 
mismatch in checksum.h used with Clang") introduced a code size and
performance regression with 64-bit code emitted for `csum_tcpudp_nofold'
by GCC, caused by a redundant truncation operation produced due to a
data type change made to the variable associated with the inline
assembly's output operand.

The intent previously expressed here with operands and constraints for
optimal code was to have the output operand share a register with one
inputs, both of a different integer type each. This is perfectly valid
with the MIPS psABI where a register can hold integer data of different
types and the assembly code used here makes data stored in the output
register match the data type used with the output operand, however it
has turned out impossible to express this arrangement in source code
such as to satisfy LLVM, apparently due to the compiler's internal
limitations.

There is nothing peculiar about the inline assembly `csum_tcpudp_nofold'
includes however, though it does choose assembly instructions carefully.

Rewrite this piece of assembly in plain C then, using corresponding C
language operations, making GCC produce the same assembly instructions,
possibly shuffled, in the general case and sometimes actually fewer of
them where an input is constant, because the compiler does not have to
reload it to a register (operand constraints could be adjusted for that,
but the plain C approach is cleaner anyway).

Example code size changes are as follows, for a 32-bit configuration:

text data bss total filename
5920480 1347236 126592 7394308 vmlinux-old
5920480 1347236 126592 7394308 vmlinux-now
5919728 1347236 126592 7393556 vmlinux-c

and for a 64-bit configuration:

text data bss total filename
6024112 1790828 225728 8040668 vmlinux-old
6024128 1790828 225728 8040684 vmlinux-now
6023760 1790828 225728 8040316 vmlinux-c

respectively, where "old" is with the commit referred reverted, "now" is
with no change, and "c" is with this change applied.

Hi,

I have visually inspected code produced and verified this change to boot
with TCP networking performing just fine, both with a 32-bit and a 64-bit
configuration. Sadly with the little endianness only, because in the
course of this verification I have discovered the core card of my Malta
board bit the dust a few days ago, apparently in a permanent manner, and I
have no other big-endian MIPS system available here to try.

The only difference between the two endiannesses is the left-shift
operation on (proto + len) however, which doesn't happen for big-endian
configurations, so the little endianness should in principle provide
enough coverage.

Also I'm leaving it to LLVM folks to verify, however this is plain C, so
it is expected to just work.

Please apply.

Maciej
