Subject: [PATCH RESEND] lib/x86_64/setjmp: Use 32-bit zero idiom for shorter encoding
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 16:45:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251126084545.163625-2-integral@archlinux.org> (raw)
Switch from `xorq %rax, %rax` to `xorl %eax, %eax`. In 64-bit mode,
zeroing EAX implicitly clears RAX, and the 32-bit form encodes one
byte smaller while keeping identical semantics.
