This time it resulted in small code changes:
function old new delta
nexpr 820 828 +8
tail_main 1200 1202 +2
wrapf 166 167 +1
parse_mount_options 227 209 -18
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 3/1 up/down: 11/-18) Total: -7 bytes
trylink: explain how to modify link and drastically decrease amount
of padding (unfortunately, needs hand editing ATM).
*: add ALIGN1 / ALIGN2 to global strings and arrays of bytes and shorts
size saving: 0.5k
handle packets out of sequence if some data goes through the buffer and
some doesn't, B) it works on systems that can't handle aligned access,
C) we just have one code path to worry about.
While we're at it, sizeof() and RESERVE_CONFIG_BUFFER() really don't combine
well, which is why md5sum has been reading and processing data 4 bytes at a
time. I suspect that the existence of CONFIG_MD5_SIZE_VS_SPEED to do loop
unrolling and such in the algorithm was an attempt to work around that bug.
