3.16.64-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 92529623d242cea4440958d7bcebdf291f4ab15e upstream. The code in hid_debug_event() causes horrible code generation. First, we do a strlen() call for every byte we copy (we're doing a store to global memory, so gcc has no way of proving that strlen(buf) doesn't change). Second, since both i, list->tail and HID_DEBUG_BUFSIZE have signed type, the modulo computation has to take into account the possibility that list->tail+i is negative, so it's not just a simple and. Fix the former by simply not doing strlen() at all (we have to load buf[i] anyway, so testing it is almost free) and the latter by changing i to unsigned. This cuts 29% (69 bytes) of the size of the function.
