[PATCH v2 4/5] MIPS: BPF: Quit clobbering callee saved registers in JIT code.

From: David Daney
Date: Tue Mar 14 2017 - 17:22:16 EST


If bpf_needs_clear_a() returns true, only actually clear it if it is
ever used. If it is not used, we don't save and restore it, so the
clearing has the nasty side effect of clobbering caller state.

Also, don't emit stack pointer adjustment instructions if the
adjustment amount is zero.
