Rémi Denis-Courmont 378d1b06c3 riscv: probe for Zbb extension at load time
Due to hysterical raisins, most RISC-V Linux distributions target a
RV64GC baseline excluding the Bit-manipulation ISA extensions, most
notably:
- Zba: address generation extension and
- Zbb: basic bit manipulation extension.
Most CPUs that would make sense to run FFmpeg on support Zba and Zbb
(including the current FATE runner), so it makes sense to optimise for
them. In fact a large chunk of existing assembler optimisations relies
on Zba and/or Zbb.

Since we cannot patch shared library code, the next best thing is to
carry a flag initialised at load-time and check it on need basis.
This results in 3 instructions overhead on isolated use, e.g.:
1:  AUIPC rd, %pcrel_hi(ff_rv_zbb_supported)
    LBU   rd, %pcrel_lo(1b)(rd)
    BEQZ  rd, non_Zbb_fallback_code
    // Zbb code here

The C compiler will typically load the flag ahead of time to reducing
latency, and can also keep it around if Zbb is used multiple times in a
single optimisation scope. For this to work, the flag symbol must be
hidden; otherwise the optimisation degrades with a GOT look-up to
support interposition:
1:  AUIPC rd, GOT_OFFSET_HI
    LD    rd, GOT_OFFSET_LO(rd)
    LBU   rd, (rd)
    BEQZ  rd, non_Zbb_fallback_code
    // Zbb code here

This patch adds code to provision the flag in libraries using bit
manipulation functions from libavutil: byte-swap, bit-weight and
counting leading or trailing zeroes.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation

The offline documentation is available in the doc/ directory.

The online documentation is available in the main website and in the wiki.
