RV64G supports MIN & MAX instructions natively only on floating point
registers, not general purpose ones. The later would require the Zbb
extension. Due to that, it is actually faster to perform the clipping
"properly" in FPU.
Benchmarks on SiFive U74-MC (courtesy of Shanghai StarFive Tech):
audiodsp.vector_clipf_c: 29551.5
audiodsp.vector_clipf_rvf: 17871.0
Also tried unrolling with 2 or 8 elements but it gets worse either way.
* commit '12004a9a7f20e44f4da2ee6c372d5e1794c8d6c5':
audiodsp/x86: yasmify vector_clipf_sse
audiodsp: reorder arguments for vector_clipf
Merged the version from Libav after a discussion with James Almer on
IRC:
19:22 <ubitux> jamrial: opinion on 12004a9a7f20e44f4da2ee6c372d5e1794c8d6c5?
19:23 <ubitux> it was apparently yasmified differently
19:23 <ubitux> (it depends on the previous commit arg shuffle)
19:24 <ubitux> i don't see the magic movsxdifnidn in your port btw
19:24 <ubitux> it's a port from 1d36defe94
19:25 <jamrial> seems better thanks to said arg shuffle
19:25 <jamrial> the loop is the same, but init is simpler
19:25 <jamrial> probably worth merging
19:25 <ubitux> OK
19:25 <ubitux> thanks
19:26 <jamrial> curious they didn't make len ptrdiff_t after the previous bunch of commits, heh
19:26 <ubitux> yeah indeed
Both commits are merged at the same time to prevent a conflict with our
existing yasmified ff_vector_clipf_sse.
