From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib/kstrtox.c: use "unsigned int" more
gcc does generates stupid code sign extending data back and forth. Help
by using "unsigned int".
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-61 (-61)
function old new delta
_parse_integer 128 123 -5
It _still_ does generate useless MOVSX but I don't know how to delete it:
0000000000000070 <_parse_integer>:
...
a0: 89 c2 mov edx,eax
a2: 83 e8 30 sub eax,0x30
a5: 83 f8 09 cmp eax,0x9
a8: 76 11 jbe bb <_parse_integer+0x4b>
aa: 83 ca 20 or edx,0x20
ad: 0f be c2 ===> movsx eax,dl <===
useless
b0: 8d 50 9f lea edx,[rax-0x61]
b3: 83 fa 05 cmp edx,0x5
Patch also helps on embedded archs which generally only like "int".
On arm "and 0xff" is generated which is waste because all values used in
comparisons are positive.
