[PATCH 3/7] s390/facility: Let test_facility() generate static branch if possible
Posted by Heiko Carstens 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Let test_facility() generate a branch instruction if the tested facility is
a constant, and where the result cannot be evaluated during compile
time. The branch instruction defaults to "false" and is patched to nop
(branch not taken) if the tested facility is available.

This avoids runtime checks and is similar to x86's static_cpu_has() and
arm64's alternative_has_cap_likely().
