Subject: [patch 4/8] Immediate Value - Add kconfig menus
Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2007 21:24:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070714012623.839969254@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20070714012439.285079881@polymtl.ca
[-- Attachment #1: immediate-values-kconfig-menus.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 14286 bytes --]
Immediate values provide a way to use dynamic code patching to update variables
sitting within the instruction stream. It saves caches lines normally used by
static read mostly variables.
