lib/kstrtox.c: use "unsigned int" more
gcc does generates stupid code sign extending data back and forth. Help by using "unsigned int". add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-61 (-61) function old new delta _parse_integer 128 123 -5 It _still_ does generate useless MOVSX but I don't know how to delete it: 0000000000000070 <_parse_integer>: ... a0: 89 c2 mov edx,eax a2: 83 e8 30 sub eax,0x30 a5: 83 f8 09 cmp eax,0x9 a8: 76 11 jbe bb <_parse_integer+0x4b> aa: 83 ca 20 or edx,0x20 ad: 0f be c2 ===> movsx eax,dl <=== useless b0: 8d 50 9f lea edx,[rax-0x61] b3: 83 fa 05 cmp edx,0x5 Patch also helps on embedded archs which generally only like "int". On arm "and 0xff" is generated which is waste because all values used in comparisons are positive.
