| 160 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions |
| 161 | for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old |
| 162 | inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the |
| 163 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's |
| 164 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In |
| 165 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap |
| 166 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or |
| 167 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It |
| 168 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the |
| 169 | hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it |
| 170 | does, the use of the builtins is optional. |

| 173 | instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it |

| 958 | help |
| 959 | An architecture selects this when it has implemented refcount_t |
| 960 | using open coded assembly primitives that provide an optimized |
| 961 | refcount_t implementation, possibly at the expense of some full |
| 962 | refcount state checks of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y. |
| 963 | |
| 964 | The refcount overflow check behavior, however, must be retained. |
| 965 | Catching overflows is the primary security concern for protecting |
| 966 | against bugs in reference counts. |

| 971 | Enabling this switches the refcounting infrastructure from a fast |
| 972 | unchecked atomic_t implementation to a fully state checked |
| 973 | implementation, which can be (slightly) slower but provides protections |
| 974 | against various use-after-free conditions that can be used in |
| 975 | security flaw exploits. |
