^^^^^^
There it is.
So if there's no bug, alternatives should replace all "call
__sw_hweightXX" calls with POPCNT. So you shouldn't be even calling
these functions and hitting that path.
Can you boot the kernel with "debug-alternative" and put that dmesg
somewhere along with vmlinux for me to stare at? Privately is fine too.
I'd like to make sure the alternatives application actually happens.
Thanks.
