    x86, boot: use appropriate rep string for move and clear · 36d3793c
    H. Peter Anvin 提交于
    In the pre-decompression code, use the appropriate largest possible
    rep movs and rep stos to move code and clear bss, respectively.  For
    reverse copy, do note that the initial values are supposed to be the
    address of the first (highest) copy datum, not one byte beyond the end
    of the buffer.
    
    rep strings are not necessarily the fastest way to perform these
    operations on all current processors, but are likely to be in the
    future, and perhaps more importantly, we want to encourage the
    architecturally right thing to do here.
    
    This also fixes a couple of trivial inefficiencies on 64 bits.
