c5905afb | 95 | |
9f79ffc1 JH |
96 | If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", |
97 | the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop | |
98 | instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the | |

9f79ffc1 JH |
188 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions |
189 | for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old | |
190 | inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the | |
191 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's | |
192 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In | |
193 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap | |
194 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or | |
195 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It | |
196 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the | |
197 | hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it | |
198 | does, the use of the builtins is optional. | |
cf66bb93 | 199 | |
9f79ffc1 JH |
200 | Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap |
201 | instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it | |
