In the case of scale factors calculation optimizations, the inline
assembly code has instructions which update flags register, but
"cc" was not mentioned in the clobber list. When optimizing code,
gcc theoretically is allowed to do a comparison before the inline
assembly block, and a conditional branch after it which would lead
to a problem if the flags register gets clobbered. While this is
apparently not happening in practice with the current versions of
gcc, the clobber list needs to be corrected.
Regarding the other inline assembly blocks. While most likely it
is actually unnecessary based on quick review, "cc" is also added
there to the clobber list because it should have no impact on
performance in practice. It's kind of cargo cult, but relieves
us from the need to track the potential updates of flags register
in all these places.
Channels deinterleaving, endian conversion and samples reordering
is done in one pass, avoiding the use of intermediate buffer. Also
this code is implemented as a new "performance primitive", which
allows further platform specific optimizations (ARMv6 and ARM NEON
should gain quite a lot from assembly optimizations here).
