Message-ID<q9EiE-kL-53@gated-at.bofh.it>
Returning a negative value for a boolean function seem to have the
undesired effect of returning true. Replace -1 by false in a
bool-returning function.

The diff of the .s file before and after the change (for x86_64):
3907c3907
< 	movl	$1, %ebx
---
> 	xorl	%ebx, %ebx

while if -1 is replaced by true, the diff is empty.

This issue was found by the following Coccinelle semantic patch:
<smpl>
@@
identifier f;
constant C;
typedef bool;
@@
bool f (...){
<+...
* return -C;
...+>
}
</smpl>

Please avoid adding a --- at the start of any changeset comment line, it
breaks scripts.

Thanks, applied.

perf tools: Bool functions shouldn't return -1

Returning a negative value for a boolean function seem to have the
undesired effect of returning true. Replace -1 by false in a
bool-returning function.

The diff of the .s file before and after the change (for x86_64):

  3907c3907
  < 	movl	$1, %ebx
  ---
  > 	xorl	%ebx, %ebx

while if -1 is replaced by true, the diff is empty.
