With the ffs() function as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h
GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter, as shown
by the small exemple below.
int ffs_test(void)
{
return 4 << ffs(31);
}
c0012334 <ffs_test>:
c0012334: 39 20 00 01 li r9,1
c0012338: 38 60 00 04 li r3,4
c001233c: 7d 29 00 34 cntlzw r9,r9
c0012340: 21 29 00 20 subfic r9,r9,32
c0012344: 7c 63 48 30 slw r3,r3,r9
c0012348: 4e 80 00 20 blr
With this patch, the same function will compile as follows:
c0012334 <ffs_test>:
c0012334: 38 60 00 08 li r3,8
c0012338: 4e 80 00 20 blr
The same happens with __ffs()
For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same,
allthought it is slightly different on 64 bits for ffs():
unsigned long test__ffs(unsigned long x)
{
return __ffs(x);
}
int testffs(int x)
{
return ffs(x);
}
On PPC32, before the patch:
0000003c <test__ffs>:

50: 4e 80 00 20 blr
On PPC64, before the patch:
0000000000000060 <.test__ffs>:
60: 7c 03 00 d0 neg r0,r3
64: 7c 03 18 38 and r3,r0,r3

0000000000000080 <.testffs>:

84: 7c 03 18 38 and r3,r0,r3
88: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3
8c: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64
90: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3
94: 4e 80 00 20 blr
On PPC64, after the patch:
0000000000000050 <.test__ffs>:
50: 7c 03 00 d0 neg r0,r3
54: 7c 03 18 38 and r3,r0,r3
58: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3
5c: 20 63 00 3f subfic r3,r3,63
60: 4e 80 00 20 blr
0000000000000070 <.testffs>:
70: 7c 03 00 d0 neg r0,r3
74: 7c 03 18 38 and r3,r0,r3
78: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3
7c: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32
80: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3
84: 4e 80 00 20 blr
(ffs() operates on an int so cntlzw is equivalent to cntlzd)
In addition, when reading the generated vmlinux, we can observe
that with the builtin functions, GCC sometimes efficiently spreads
the instructions within the generated functions while the inline
assembly force them to remain grouped together.
__builtin_ffs() is already used in arch/powerpc/include/asm/page_32.h
Those builtins have been in GCC since at least 3.4.6 (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/Other-Builtins.html )

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
