Subject: [PATCH] x86/head_64: Use testb instead of testl in secondary_startup_64_no_verify
Date: Thu,  9 Nov 2023 21:09:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231109201032.4439-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)

There is no need to use testl when checking LSB with a test instruction.
Use testb, which is three bytes shorter:

   f6 05 00 00 00 00 01    testb  $0x1,0x0(%rip)

vs:

   f7 05 00 00 00 00 01    testl  $0x1,0x0(%rip)
   00 00 00

for the same effect.

No functional changes intended.
