99c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction

166cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	bool
167cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	help
168cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
169cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
170cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
171cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
172cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
173cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
174cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
175cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
176cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
177cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
178cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
179cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse
180cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
181cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
182cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 on architectures that don't have such instructions.
