This patch adds an optimization that uses the asr immediate instruction for BPF_ALU BPF_ARSH BPF_K, rather than loading the immediate to a temporary register. This is similar to existing code for handling BPF_ALU BPF_{LSH,RSH} BPF_K. This optimization saves two instructions and is more consistent with LSH and RSH. Example of the code generated for BPF_ALU32_IMM(BPF_ARSH, BPF_REG_0, 5) before the optimization: 2c: mov r8, #5 30: mov r9, #0 34: asr r0, r0, r8 and after optimization: 2c: asr r0, r0, #5 Tested on QEMU using lib/test_bpf and test_verifier.
