powerpc: Remove optimized finite
The powerpc finite optimization do not show much gain:
- GCC will call libm iff -fsignaling-nans is used. This usage pattern
is usually not performance oriented and for such calls PLT overhead
should dominate execution time.
- The power7 uses ftdiv to optimize for some input patterns, but at
cost of others. Comparing against generic C implementation built
for powerpc64-linux-gnu-power7 (--with-cpu=power7):
- Generic sysdeps/ieee754 implementation:
"isfinite": {
"": {
"duration": 5.0082e+09,
"iterations": 2.45299e+09,
"max": 43.824,
"min": 2.008,
"mean": 2.04167
},
"INF": {
"duration": 4.66554e+09,
"iterations": 2.28288e+09,
"max": 35.73,
"min": 2.008,
"mean": 2.04371
},
"NAN": {
"duration": 4.66274e+09,
"iterations": 2.28716e+09,
"max": 34.161,
"min": 2.009,
"mean": 2.03866
}
}
- power7 optimized one:
"isfinite": {
"": {
"duration": 4.99111e+09,
"iterations": 2.65566e+09,
"max": 25.015,
"min": 1.716,
"mean": 1.87942
},
"INF": {
"duration": 4.6783e+09,
"iterations": 2.0999e+09,
"max": 35.264,
"min": 1.868,
"mean": 2.22787
},
"NAN": {
"duration": 4.67915e+09,
"iterations": 2.08678e+09,
"max": 38.099,
"min": 1.869,
"mean": 2.24228
}
}
So it basically optimizes marginally for normal numbers while
increasing the latency for other kind of FP.
- The power8 implementation is just the generic implementation using
ISA 2.07 mfvsrd instruction (which GCC uses for generic implementation).
So generic implementation is the best option for powerpc64le.
