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

124 Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
125 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
126 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
127 libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
128 are hit by user-space applications.

132 application. )

136 help
137 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
138 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
139 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
140 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
141 handler.)
142
143 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
144 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
145 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
146 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
147 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
148 much.

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

816
817 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
818 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
819 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
820 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
821 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
822 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
