64 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
65 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
66 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
67
68 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
69 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
70 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
71
45f81b1c 72 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
73 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
74 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
75 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
76 conditional block of instructions.
77
78 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
79 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
80 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

154config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
155 bool
156 help
157 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
158 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
159 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
160 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
161 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
162 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
163 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
164 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
165 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
166 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
167 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
168
169 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
170 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
171 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

890 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
