Krzysztof Kozlowski24b54fe2019-12-04 16:50:26 -080093 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
Ingo Molnarc5905af2012-02-24 08:31:31 +010094 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
95 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
96 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
97 conditional block of instructions.
98
99 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
100 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
101 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

166 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
167 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on

183 help
David Woodhousecf66bb92012-12-03 16:25:40 +0000184 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
185 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
186 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
187 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
188 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
189 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
190 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
191 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
192 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
193 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
194 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
195
196 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
197 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
198 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

1187 An arch should select this symbol once all linker sections are explicitly
1188 included, size-asserted, or discarded in the linker scripts. This is
1189 important because we never want expected sections to be placed heuristically
1190 by the linker, since the locations of such sections can change between linker
1191 versions.
