From 8072766cc6756e9218ea7c9433b097b696329407 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ren=C3=A9=20Scharfe?= Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 22:36:57 +0200 Subject: xdiff: import new 32-bit version of count_masked_bytes() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Import the latest 32-bit implementation of count_masked_bytes() from Linux (arch/x86/include/asm/word-at-a-time.h). It's shorter and avoids overflows and negative numbers. This fixes test failures on 32-bit, where negative partial results had been shifted right using the "wrong" method (logical shift right instead of arithmetic short right). The compiler is free to chose the method, so it was only wrong in the sense that it didn't work as intended by us. Reported-by: Øyvind A.
