79 | This option enables a transparent branch optimization that | |
c5905afb IM |
80 | makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch |
81 | conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel. | |
82 | ||
83 | Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points, | |
84 | scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such | |
85 | branches and include support for this optimization technique. | |
86 | ||
24b54fee | 87 | If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", |
c5905afb IM |
88 | the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop |
89 | instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the | |
90 | nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the | |
91 | conditional block of instructions. | |
92 | ||
93 | This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction | |
94 | of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update | |
95 | of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare. | |

137 | Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses | |

139 | unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on | |

141 | handler.) | |
142 | ||
143 | This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can | |
144 | perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different | |
145 | code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network | |

cf66bb93 DW |
156 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions |
157 | for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old | |
158 | inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the | |
159 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's | |
160 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In | |
161 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap | |
162 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or | |
163 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It | |
164 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the | |
165 | hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it | |
166 | does, the use of the builtins is optional. | |
167 | ||
168 | Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap | |
169 | instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it | |
170 | on architectures that don't have such instructions. | |
