148cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions

150cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
151cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
152cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
153cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
154cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
155cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
156cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the

746ba14a194SAndy Lutomirski	  An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks

750ba14a194SAndy Lutomirski	    This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
751ba14a194SAndy Lutomirski
752ba14a194SAndy Lutomirski	  - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably.  For example, if
753ba14a194SAndy Lutomirski	    vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism

755ba14a194SAndy Lutomirski	    unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
756ba14a194SAndy Lutomirski	    most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
