76c5905afbSIngo Molnar         This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

78c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
7945f81b1cSSteven Rostedt
80c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
81c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
82c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
83c5905afbSIngo Molnar
84c5905afbSIngo Molnar         If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
85c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
86c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
87c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
88c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 conditional block of instructions.
89c5905afbSIngo Molnar
90c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
91c5905afbSIngo Molnar	 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update

169cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
170cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
171cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
172cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
173cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
174cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
175cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
176cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
177cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
178cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
179cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
