Replace 'cmp reg, 0' with 'test reg, reg' for comparisons against zero. Saves 1 byte of instruction encoding per occurrence. The flag results of test 'reg, reg' are identical to 'cmp reg, 0' in all cases except for AF which we don't use/care about. In terms of macro-fusibility in combination with a subsequent conditional jump instruction, both have the same properties for the jumps used in the JIT translation. For example, same JITed Cilium program can shrink a bit from e.g. 12,455 to 12,317 bytes as tests with 0 are used quite frequently.

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.
