47 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
48 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
49 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
50 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

59 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
c5905afb
IM
60 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
61 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
62
63 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
64 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
65 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
66
24b54fee 67 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
68 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
69 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
70 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
71 conditional block of instructions.
72
73 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
74 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
75 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

110 Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
111 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
112 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
113 libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
114 are hit by user-space applications.

118 application. )

124 aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
125 to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit

127 architectures without unaligned access.

140 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

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

528 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
529 that may need to handle untrusted bytecode during their
530 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available
531 to the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
532 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in their
533 own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is enabled via
534 prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) or the seccomp() syscall, it cannot be
535 disabled and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe

1165 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks

1168 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
1169 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
1170
1171 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
1172 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
1173 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
1174 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
1175 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
1176 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
