76 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
77 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
78 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
79
80 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
81 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
82 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
83
45f81b1c 84 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
85 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
86 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
87 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
88 conditional block of instructions.
89
90 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
91 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
92 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

122 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
123 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and

125 are hit by user-space applications.

134 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
135 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
136 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
137 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
138 handler.)

140 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
141 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
142 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network

144 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
145 much.

150config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
151 bool
152 help
153 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
154 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
155 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
156 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
157 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
158 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
159 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
160 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
161 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
162 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
163 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
164
165 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
166 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
167 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

815 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
816 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
817 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
818 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
819 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
