[PATCH] arch/Kconfig: JUMP_LABEL should depend on !XIP

From: Vitaly Wool
Date: Mon Dec 21 2020 - 15:41:14 EST


There's no point in trying to optimize the code when the code is
executed from a read-only medium (e. g. NOR flash) as in the XIP
case. Moreover, trying to do so in a XIP kernel may result in
faults and kernel crashes so let's explicitly disallow JUMP_LABEL
if XIP_KERNEL configuration option is set.

This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
