When the condition flag is toggled to true, the 90 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the 91 conditional block of instructions. 92 93 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction 94 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster.

Others are 139 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on 140 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception 141 handler.) 142 143 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can 144 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different 145 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network 146 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment 147 problems with received packets if doing so would not help 148 much. 149 150 See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more 151 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses. 152 153config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP 154 bool 155 help 156 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions 157 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old 158 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the 159 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's 160 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In 161 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap 162 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or 163 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It 164 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the 165 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it 166 does, the use of the builtins is optional. 167 168 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap 169 instructions should set this.
