 82	 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

 84	 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
 85
 86	 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
 87	 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
 88	 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
 89
 90	 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
 91	 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
 92	 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
 93	 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
 94	 conditional block of instructions.
 95
 96	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
 97	 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
 98	 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

130	  libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
131	  are hit by user-space applications.

142	  unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
143	  unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
144	  handler.)
145
146	  This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
147	  perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
148	  code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
149	  drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
150	  problems with received packets if doing so would not help

156config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
157	bool
158	help
159	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
160	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
161	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
162	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
163	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
164	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
165	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
166	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
167	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
168	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
169	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
170
171	 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
172	 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
173	 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

 168	bool
 169	help
 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.
 181
 182	  Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
 183	  instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
