75 | This option enables a transparent branch optimization that |
76 | makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch | |
77 | conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel. | |
78 | ||
79 | Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points, | |
80 | scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such | |
81 | branches and include support for this optimization technique. | |
82 | ||
45f81b1c | 83 | If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", |
c5905afb IM |
84 | the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop |
85 | instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the | |
86 | nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the | |
87 | conditional block of instructions. | |
88 | ||
89 | This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction | |
90 | of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update | |
91 | of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare. | |

165 | config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP |
166 | bool | |
167 | help | |
168 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions | |
169 | for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old | |
170 | inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the | |
171 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's | |
172 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In | |
173 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap | |
174 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or | |
175 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It | |
176 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the | |
177 | hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it | |
178 | does, the use of the builtins is optional. | |
179 | ||
180 | Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap | |
181 | instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it | |
182 | on architectures that don't have such instructions. | |
