GFP_KERNEL is one of the most used constant but on archs like arm with fixed length instruction some constants are more equal than the others. Constants with tightly packed bits can be injected directly into instruction stream: 0: e3a00d33 mov r0, #3264 ; 0xcc0 Others require multiple instructions or even loading out of instruction stream: 0: e3a000c0 mov r0, #192 ; 0xc0 4: e3400060 movt r0, #96 ; 0x60 Shuffle GFP_* flags so that GFP_KERNEL/GFP_ATOMIC + __GFP_ZERO bits are close to each other. Savings on arm configs are ~0.1%.

README
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.
