While analyzing some of the more complex BPF programs from Cilium, I found that LLVM generally prefers to emit LD_IMM64 instead of MOV32 BPF instructions for loading unsigned 32-bit immediates into a register. Given we cannot change the current/stable LLVM versions that are already out there, lets optimize this case such that the JIT prefers to emit 'mov %eax, imm32' over 'movabsq %rax, imm64' whenever suitable in order to reduce the image size by 4-5 bytes per such load in the typical case, reducing image size on some of the bigger programs by up to 4%. emit_mov_imm32() and emit_mov_imm64() have been added as helpers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
