From a77f9c5dcdf8480a93332792c336fa2bf9d31229 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jay Vosburgh Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 11:05:06 -0800 Subject: Revert "fast_hash: avoid indirect function calls" This reverts commit e5a2c899957659cd1a9f789bc462f9c0b35f5150. Commit e5a2c899 introduced an alternative_call, arch_fast_hash2, that selects between __jhash2 and __intel_crc4_2_hash based on the X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2. Unfortunately, the alternative_call system does not appear to be suitable for use with C functions, as register usage is not handled properly for the called functions. The __jhash2 function in particular clobbers registers that are not preserved when called via alternative_call, resulting in a panic for direct callers of arch_fast_hash2 on older CPUs lacking sse4_2. It is possible that __intel_crc4_2_hash works merely by chance because it uses fewer registers. This commit was suggested as the source of the problem by Jesse Gross .
