    cmd/5c, cmd/5g, cmd/5l: turn MOVB, MOVH into plain moves, optimize short arithmetic. · 357f7336
    Rémy Oudompheng authored
    Pseudo-instructions MOVBS and MOVHS are used to clarify
    the semantics of short integers vs. registers:
     * 8-bit and 16-bit values in registers are assumed to always
       be zero-extended or sign-extended depending on their type.
     * MOVB is truncation or move of an already extended value
       between registers.
     * MOVBU enforces zero-extension at the destination (register).
     * MOVBS enforces sign-extension at the destination (register).
    And similarly for MOVH/MOVS/MOVHU.
    
    The linker is adapted to assemble MOVB and MOVH to an ordinary
    mov. Also a peephole pass in 5g that aims at eliminating
    redundant zero/sign extensions is improved.
