cbcond combines a compare with a branch into a single instruction. The limitations are: 1) Only newer chips support it 2) For immediate compares we are limited to 5-bit signed immediate values 3) The branch displacement is limited to 10-bit signed 4) We cannot use it for JSET Also, cbcond (unlike all other sparc control transfers) lacks a delay slot. Currently we don't have a useful instruction we can push into the delay slot of normal branches. So using cbcond pretty much always increases code density, and is therefore a win.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
