69 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.

45f81b1c 75 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",

76 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
77 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
78 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
79 conditional block of instructions.
80
81 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
82 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
83 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

157config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
158 bool
159 help
160 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
161 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
162 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
163 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
164 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
165 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
166 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
167 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
168 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
169 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
170 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
171
172 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
173 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
174 on architectures that don't have such instructions.
