61 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
62 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
63
64 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
65 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
66 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
67 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
68 conditional block of instructions.
69
70 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
71 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
72 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

75 flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

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

396 By saying Y here the kernel will instrument some kernel code to
397 extract some entropy from both original and artificially created
398 program state. This will help especially embedded systems where
399 there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally. The cost
400 is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
401 irq processing.
402
403 Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
404 secure!
