This patch optimizes the code generated by emit_a32_arsh_r64, which handles the BPF_ALU64 BPF_ARSH BPF_X instruction. The original code uses a conditional B followed by an unconditional ORR. The optimization saves one instruction by removing the B instruction and using a conditional ORR (with an inverted condition). Example of the code generated for BPF_ALU64_REG(BPF_ARSH, BPF_REG_0, BPF_REG_1), before optimization: 34: rsb ip, r2, #32 38: subs r9, r2, #32 3c: lsr lr, r0, r2 40: orr lr, lr, r1, lsl ip 44: bmi 0x4c 48: orr lr, lr, r1, asr r9 4c: asr ip, r1, r2 50: mov r0, lr 54: mov r1, ip and after optimization: 34: rsb ip, r2, #32 38: subs r9, r2, #32 3c: lsr lr, r0, r2 40: orr lr, lr, r1, lsl ip 44: orrpl lr, lr, r1, asr r9 48: asr ip, r1, r2 4c: mov r0, lr 50: mov r1, ip Tested on QEMU using lib/test_bpf and test_verifier.

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.
