x86: clean up computation of HPET .mult variables
While reading through the HPET code I realized that the computation of .mult variables could be done with less lines of code, resulting in a 1.6% text size saving for hpet.o So I propose the following patch, which applies against today's Linus -git tree. >From 0c6507e400e9ca5f7f14331e18f8c12baf75a9d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carlos R. Mafra <crmafra@ift.unesp.br> Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 19:38:53 -0300 The computation of clocksource_hpet.mult tmp = (u64)hpet_period << HPET_SHIFT; do_div(tmp, FSEC_PER_NSEC); clocksource_hpet.mult = (u32)tmp; can be streamlined if we note that it is equal to clocksource_hpet.mult = div_sc(hpet_period, FSEC_PER_NSEC, HPET_SHIFT); Furthermore, the computation of hpet_clockevent.mult uint64_t hpet_freq; hpet_freq = 1000000000000000ULL; do_div(hpet_freq, hpet_period); hpet_clockevent.mult = div_sc((unsigned long) hpet_freq, NSEC_PER_SEC, hpet_clockevent.shift); can also be streamlined with the observation that hpet_period and hpet_freq are inverse to each other (in proper units). So instead of computing hpet_freq and using (schematically) div_sc(hpet_freq, 10^9, shift) we use the trick of calling with the arguments in reverse order, div_sc(10^6, hpet_period, shift). The different power of ten is due to frequency being in Hertz (1/sec) and the period being in units of femtosecond. Explicitly, mult = (hpet_freq * 2^shift)/10^9 (before) mult = (10^6 * 2^shift)/hpet_period (after) because hpet_freq = 10^15/hpet_period. The comments in the code are also updated to reflect the changes.
