If <src> is non-zero we can safely set the flag to true, and this
results in less code generated for, e.g. ffs(x) + 1 on FreeBSD.
Thanks to majnemer for suggesting the fix and reviewing.
Code generated before the patch was applied:
0: 0f bc c7 bsf %edi,%eax
3: b9 20 00 00 00 mov $0x20,%ecx
8: 0f 45 c8 cmovne %eax,%ecx
b: 83 c1 02 add $0x2,%ecx
e: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax
13: 85 ff test %edi,%edi
15: 0f 45 c1 cmovne %ecx,%eax
18: c3 retq
Code generated after the patch was applied:
0: 0f bc cf bsf %edi,%ecx
3: 83 c1 02 add $0x2,%ecx
6: 85 ff test %edi,%edi
8: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax
d: 0f 45 c1 cmovne %ecx,%eax
10: c3 retq
It seems we can still use cmove and save another 'test' instruction, but
that can be tackled separately.
