Subject: [PATCH 0/1] x86 change mov 0, %reg to xor %reg, %reg
Date: Thu,  4 Aug 2022 15:26:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220804152656.8840-1-knscarlet@gnuweeb.org> (raw)

Hello Linux x86 maintainers,

I'm an informatic student 19 y.o. I am still studying Linux kernel open
source in GNU/Weeb community. I want to be a linux kerne dev in the
future. This is my first time sending a patch to Linux Kernel, I am
still learning the community. I may make a mistake in this email, please
correct me if i am wrong

I want to improve x86-64 assembly code with this patch. This patch
changes mov $0, %reg with xor %reg, %reg because xor %reg, %reg is
smaller so it is good to save space

asm:
ba 00 00 00 00  mov   $0x0,%edx
31 d2           xor   %edx,%edx


Regards,
