Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: make pda's cpunumber and nodenumber unsigned
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 09:10:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47610530.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> (raw)
This generally allows better code to be generated, since the zero-
extension during 32-bit operations comes for free (needed when the
result is used as array index or similar), whereas sign extension must
be done explicitly and frequently requires a one byte larger
instruction due to the necessary rex64 prefix.
