Subject: slight improvement in locore.s?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

locore.s includes:
#define ALLOCPAGES(foo) \ 
        movl    R(physfree), %esi ; \
        movl    $((foo)*PAGE_SIZE), %eax ; \
        addl    %esi, %eax ; \
        movl    %eax, R(physfree) ; \
        movl    %esi, %edi ; \
        movl    $((foo)*PAGE_SIZE),%ecx ; \
        xorl    %eax,%eax ; \
        cld ; \
        rep ; \
        stosb
        

might it be a very slight optimisation to change this to:
#define ALLOCPAGES(foo) \ 
        movl    R(physfree), %esi ; \
        movl    $((foo)*PAGE_SIZE), %eax ; \
        movl    %eax, %ecx ; \
        addl    %esi, %eax ; \
        movl    %eax, R(physfree) ; \
        movl    %esi, %edi ; \
        xorl    %eax,%eax ; \
        cld ; \
        rep ; \
        stosb
