 [Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH] x86emul: avoid using _PRE_EFLAGS() in a few cases
 The macro expanding to quite a few insns, replace its use by simply
clearing the status flags when the to be executed insn doesn't depend
on their initial state, in cases where this is easily possible. (There
are more cases where the uses are hidden inside macros, and where some
of the users of the macros want guest flags put in place before running
the insn, i.e. the macros can't be updated as easily.)
