In 32-bit mode, the x86 architecture can hold full 32-bit pointers. Therefore, the code that copies the current address to the %ecx register and uses %ecx-relative addressing is useless, we could just use absolute addressing. The processors have a stack of return addresses for branch prediction. If we use a call instruction and pop the return address, it desynchronizes the return stack and causes branch prediction misses. This patch also moves the data to the .rodata section. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
