Yes, the immediate values, in general, only need to do atomic writes, because I have taken care of placing the mov instruction in the correct alignment so its immediate value happens to be aligned in memory. However, the latest optimisation I did to change a conditional branch into a jump when the correct code pattern is detected : mov, test, bne short into a nop2, nop2, nop1, jmp short or mov, test, bne near into a nop2, nop2, nop1, jmp near
And how, pray tell, do you deal with the fact that: a) the EFLAGS may be live on exit; b) there might be a jump into the middle of this instruction sequence? -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
