77 branches and include support for this optimization technique.

79 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
80 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
81 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
82 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
83 conditional block of instructions.

85 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
86 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update

170 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
171 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
172 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
173 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
174 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
175 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
176 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
177 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
178 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
179 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
180 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
cf66bb93 181
9f79ffc1
JH
182 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
183 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
184 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

1510 start of its callee. This may avoid redundant work, and may
1511 integrate better with CFI schemes.

1513 This will have greater overhead than using inline static calls as
1514 the call to the preemption function cannot be entirely elided.

1519 An arch should select this symbol once all linker sections are explicitly
1520 included, size-asserted, or discarded in the linker scripts. This is
1521 important because we never want expected sections to be placed heuristically
1522 by the linker, since the locations of such sections can change between linker
1523 versions.
