Replace the bit by bit algorithm with one that generates 16 bits per
iteration on 32bit architectures and 32 bits on 64bit ones.
On my zen 5 this reduces the time for the tests (using the generic code)
from ~3350ns to ~1000ns.
Running the 32bit algorithm on 64bit x86 takes ~1500ns. It'll be slightly
slower on a real 32bit system, mostly due to register pressure.
The savings for 32bit x86 are much higher (tested in userspace). The
worst case (lots of bits in the quotient) drops from ~900 clocks to ~130
(pretty much independant of the arguments). Other 32bit architectures may
see better savings.
It is possibly to optimise for divisors that span less than
__LONG_WIDTH__/2 bits. However I suspect they don't happen that often and
it doesn't remove any slow cpu divide instructions which dominate the
result.
Typical improvements for 64bit random divides:
old new
sandy bridge: 470 150
haswell: 400 144
piledriver: 960 467 I think rdpmc is very slow.
zen5: 244 80
(Timing is 'rdpmc; mul_div(); rdpmc' with the multiply depending on the
first rdpmc and the second rdpmc depending on the quotient.)
Object code (64bit x86 test program): old 0x173 new 0x141.
