| Ingo Molnar | c5905af | 2012-02-24 08:31:31 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 57 | 	 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points, | 
 | 58 | 	 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such | 
 | 59 | 	 branches and include support for this optimization technique. | 
 | 60 |  | 
 | 61 |          If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", | 
 | 62 | 	 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop | 
 | 63 | 	 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the | 
 | 64 | 	 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the | 
 | 65 | 	 conditional block of instructions. | 
 | 66 |  | 
 | 67 | 	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction | 
 | 68 | 	 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update | 
 | 69 | 	 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare. | 
 | 70 |  | 
 | 71 | 	 ( On 32-bit x86, the necessary options added to the compiler | 
 | 72 | 	   flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. ) |
