[PATCH 1/3] random: Statically compute poolbitshift, poolbytes, poolbits

From: H. Peter Anvin
Date: Sat Apr 27 2013 - 18:45:57 EST


From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Use a macro to statically compute poolbitshift (will be used in a
subsequent patch), poolbytes, and poolbits. On virtually all
architectures the cost of a memory load with an offset is the same as
the one of a memory load.

It is still possible for this to generate worse code since the C
compiler doesn't know the fixed relationship between these fields, but
that is somewhat unlikely.
