75 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
76 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
77 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
78
79 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
80 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
81 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
82
45f81b1c 83 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",

IM
84 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
85 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
86 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
87 conditional block of instructions.
88
89 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
90 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
91 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

150 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

165config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
166 bool
167 help
168 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
169 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
170 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
171 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
172 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
173 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
174 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
175 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
176 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
177 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
178 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
179
180 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
181 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
182 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

552 Architecture doesn't only execute the irq handler on the irq stack
553 but also irq_exit(). This way we can process softirqs on this irq
554 stack instead of switching to a new one when we call __do_softirq()
555 in the end of an hardirq.
556 This spares a stack switch and improves cache usage on softirq

754 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
755 in vmalloc space. This means:
756
757 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
758 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
759
760 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
761 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
762 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
763 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
764 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
765 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
766
767 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
768 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
769 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

781 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
782 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
783 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
