[ Upstream commit 7bdc0e7a390511cd3df8194003b908f15a6170a5 ] Note that mov to 32-bit register will zero extend to 64-bit register. Thus `mov $60,%eax` has the same effect with `mov $60,%rax`. Use the shorter opcode to achieve the same thing. ``` b8 3c 00 00 00 mov $60,%eax (5 bytes) [1] 48 c7 c0 3c 00 00 00 mov $60,%rax (7 bytes) [2] ``` Currently, we use [2]. Change it to [1] for shorter code. Signed-off-by: Ammar Faizi <ammar.faizi@students.amikom.ac.id> Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
