x86/bitops: Remove unused __sw_hweight64() assembly implementation on x86-32
Header cleanups in the fast-headers tree highlighted that we have an
unused assembly implementation for __sw_hweight64():
WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "__sw_hweight64" [vmlinux] version ...
__arch_hweight64() on x86-32 is defined in the
arch/x86/include/asm/arch_hweight.h header as an inline, using
__arch_hweight32():
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
static inline unsigned long __arch_hweight64(__u64 w)
{
return __arch_hweight32((u32)w) +
__arch_hweight32((u32)(w >> 32));
}
*But* there's also a __sw_hweight64() assembly implementation:
arch/x86/lib/hweight.S
SYM_FUNC_START(__sw_hweight64)
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
...
#else /* CONFIG_X86_32 */
/* We're getting an u64 arg in (%eax,%edx): unsigned long hweight64(__u64 w) */
pushl %ecx
call __sw_hweight32
movl %eax, %ecx # stash away result
movl %edx, %eax # second part of input
call __sw_hweight32
addl %ecx, %eax # result
popl %ecx
ret
#endif
But this __sw_hweight64 assembly implementation is unused - and it's
essentially doing the same thing that the inline wrapper does.
Remove the assembly version and add a comment about it.
