Rewrite csum_tcpudp_nofold() so that the generated code will not contain branches. The old implementation was also optimized for machines which came with "add logical with carry" instructions, however the compiler doesn't generate them anymore. This is most likely because those instructions are slower. However with the old code the compiler generates a lot of branches, which isn't too helpful usually. Therefore rewrite the code. In a tight loop this doesn't make any difference since the branch prediction unit does its job. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
