67         This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

69	 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
70
71	 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
72	 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
73	 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
74
75         If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
76	 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
77	 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
78	 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
79	 conditional block of instructions.
80
81	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
82	 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
83	 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

160	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
161	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
162	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
163	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
164	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
165	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
166	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
167	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
168	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
169	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
170	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
