PATCH v3 1/1 parisc: add <asm/hash.h>

PA-RISC is interesting; integer multiplies are implemented in the FPU, so are painful in the kernel. But it tries to be friendly to shift-and-add sequences.

__hash_32 is implemented using the same shift-and-add sequence as Microblaze, just scheduled for the PA7100. (It's 2-way superscalar but in-order, like the Pentium.)

hash_64 was tricky, but a suggestion from Jason Thong allowed a good solution by breaking up the multiplier. After an embarrassing amount of fiddling about, I found a 19-instruction sequence for the multiply that can be executed in 10 cycles using only 4 temporaries.

(The PA8xxx can issue 4 instructions per cycle, but 2 must be ALU ops and 2 must be loads/stores. And the final add can't be paired.)

An alternative implementation is included, but not enabled by default:
Thomas Wang's 64-to-32-bit hash. This is more compact than the multiply, but has a slightly longer dependency chain.

---
Okay, I'm happy with this one. Helge, could you test it whenever you get a chance?

I've left the alternate hash_64 path in for now, but the one not chosen should be deleted before sending to Linus.

PATCH v4 1/1 parisc: add <asm/hash.h>

PA-RISC is interesting; integer multiplies are implemented in the FPU, so are painful in the kernel. But it tries to be friendly to shift-and-add sequences for constant multiplies.

__hash_32 is implemented using the same shift-and-add sequence as Microblaze, just scheduled for the PA7100. (It's 2-way superscalar but in-order, like the Pentium.)

hash_64 was tricky, but a suggestion from Jason Thong allowed a good solution by breaking up the multiplier. After a lot of manual optimization, I found a 19-instruction sequence for the multiply that can be executed in 10 cycles using only 4 temporaries.

(The PA8xxx can issue 4 instructions per cycle, but 2 must be ALU ops and 2 must be loads/stores. And the final add can't be paired.)

An alternative considered, but ultimately not used, was Thomas Wang's 64-to-32-bit integer hash. At 12 instructions, it's smaller, but they're all sequentially dependent, so it has longer latency.

Would you like to take it via the PA-RISC tree? I don't think a "performance fix" like this is 4.7-rc material (I think it's low-risk, so I don't object, but I think Linus would) so it has to wait for 4.8 either way.

THANKS!

You're very welcome. I really wanted to improve it for *every* platform, so thank you for your help. I still haven't heard from the Microblaze guys.

Getting it down to 10 cycles was a fun micro-optimization challenge. I'm just annoyed I wasted to much time optimizing for a misunderstanding of the PA-8800 pipeline. The large print ("QUAD-ISSUE!") giveth, and the small print taketh waway.
