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

157cf66bb93SDavid Woodhouse	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions

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
