From ad8f4356af58f7ded6b4a5787c67c7cab51066b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 07:04:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Don't use the strict copy checks when branch profiling is in use The branch profiling creates very complex code for each if statement, to the point that gcc has trouble even analyzing something as simple as if (count > 5) count = 5; This then means that causing an error on code that gcc cannot analyze for copy_from_user() and co is not very productive. This patch excludes the strict copy checks in the case of branch profiling being enabled.
