- This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

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

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

- config HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS

- help
- Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit

- to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
- architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
- architectures without unaligned access.
- This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit
- accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even
- though it is not a 64 bit architecture.

- more information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
- config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS

- help
- Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
- without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
- unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
- unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
- handler.)
- This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
- perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
- code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
- drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
- problems with received packets if doing so would not help
- much.

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