list_del() poisoning can generate 2 64-bit immediate loads but it also can
generate one 64-bit immediate load and an addition:
48 b8 00 01 00 00 00 00 ad de movabs rax,0xdead000000000100
48 89 47 58 mov QWORD PTR [rdi+0x58],rax
48 05 00 01 00 00 <=====> add rax,0x100
48 89 47 60 mov QWORD PTR [rdi+0x60],rax
However on x86_64 not all constants are equal: those within [-128, 127]
range can be added with shorter "add r64, imm32" instruction:
48 b8 00 01 00 00 00 00 ad de movabs rax,0xdead000000000100
48 89 47 58 mov QWORD PTR [rdi+0x58],rax
48 83 c0 22 <======> add rax,0x22
48 89 47 60 mov QWORD PTR [rdi+0x60],rax
Patch saves 2 bytes per some LIST_POISON2 usage.
(Slightly disappointing) space savings on F29 x86_64 config:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2164 up/down: 0/-5184 (-5184)
Function old new delta
zstd_get_workspace 548 546 -2
...
mlx4_delete_all_resources_for_slave 4826 4804 -22
Total: Before=
83304131, After=
83298947, chg -0.01%
New constants are:
0xdead000000000100
0xdead000000000122
Note: LIST_POISON1 can't be changed to ...11 because something in page
allocator requires low bit unset.
