Subject: [PATCH] HID: debug: improve hid_debug_event()
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 13:33:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1448368427-1669-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> (raw)

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.
