Subject: [PATCH] ELF: smaller code generation around auxv vector fill
Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2019 20:23:01 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191208172301.GD19716@avx2> (raw)
Filling auxv vector as array with index (auxv[i++] = ...) generates terrible
code. "saved_auxv" should be reworked because it is the worst member
of mm_struct by size/usefullness ratio but do it later.
Meanwhile help gcc a little with *auxv++ idiom.
Space savings on x86_64:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-127 (-127)
Function old new delta
load_elf_binary 5470 5343 -127
