[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] h264: assembly version of get_cabac for x86_64 with PIC

Roland Scheidegger rscheidegger_lists at hispeed.ch
Wed Apr 18 02:39:28 CEST 2012


This adds a hand-optimized assembly version for get_cabac much like the
existing one, but it works if the table offsets are RIP-relative.
Compared to the non-RIP-relative version this adds 2 lea instructions
and it needs one extra register.
Since x86_64 cpus always support cmov also always use this (I don't care
if you have a P4 Prescott whose cmov implementation is useless).
There is a surprisingly large performance improvement over the c version (more
so than the generated assembly seems to suggest) just in get_cabac, I measured
roughly 40% faster for get_cabac on a K8. However, overall the difference is
not that big, I measured 5% on a test clip on a K8 but much less on a Core2.
Hopefully it still compiles on x86 32bit...
v2: incorporated feedback from Loren Merritt to avoid rip-relative movs
for every table, and got rid of unnecessary @GOTPCREL.
v3: apply similar fixes to the the decode_significance functions, and use
same macro arguments for non-pic case.
