Added multiply high signed/unsigned routines. These can be used to optimize division by a constant.
__smulhu
is optimized, but the rest are not well optimized. They use the exact same calling convention as the regular multiplication routines. We can optimize these routines in later PR's.__bmulhu
was not added since it is justmlt bc \ ld a, b
(and the 8-bit calling convention is not well defined).In the case of
__llmulhu
, it is a lot faster than compiler code as it avoids expensive 64bit shift operations. While there are a few micro optimizations that can be applied to each routine, the real performance boost would come from calling__u32_mul_u32_to_u64
instead of calling__llmulu
for example.
