53 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
54 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
55 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
56
57 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
58 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
59 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
60
45f81b1c 61 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
62 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
63 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
64 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
65 conditional block of instructions.
66
67 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
68 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
69 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

94 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
95 libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes

124 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
125 handler.)

127 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
128 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
129 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network

131 problems with received packets if doing so would not help

137config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
138 bool
139 help
140 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
141 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
142 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
143 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
144 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
145 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
146 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
147 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
148 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
149 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
150 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
151
152 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
153 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
154 on architectures that don't have such instructions.
