Latest commit

In order to avoid a CPU exception resulting from signed overflow, the signed
division code tests if the divisor is -1 and if it is, runs fix up code to
manually compute the quotient and remainder (thus avoiding IDIV and potential
signed overflow).

However, the way that this is currently structured means that the normal code
path for the case where the divisor is not -1 results in five instructions
and two branches (CMP, JEQ, followed by sign extension, IDIV and another JMP
to skip over the fix up code).

Rework the fix up code such that the final JMP is incurred by the less likely
divisor is -1 code path, rather than more likely code path (which is already
more expensive due to IDIV). This result in a four instruction sequence
(CMP, JNE, sign extension, IDIV), with only a single branch.

Updates #59089
