68c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,

70c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
71c5905afbSIngo Molnar
72c5905afbSIngo Molnar         If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
73c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
74c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
75c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
76c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 conditional block of instructions.
77c5905afbSIngo Molnar
78c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction

157cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
158cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
159cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
160cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
161cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
162cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
163cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
164cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
165cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
166cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
167cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
