40 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
41 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
42 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

51 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
c5905afb
IM
52 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
53 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
54
55 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
56 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
57 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
58
24b54fee 59 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
60 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
61 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
62 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
63 conditional block of instructions.
64
65 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
66 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
67 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

102 Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
103 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
104 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
105 libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
106 are hit by user-space applications.

109 managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed
110 application. )

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

119 architectures without unaligned access.

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

510 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
511 that may need to handle untrusted bytecode during their
512 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available
513 to the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
514 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in their
515 own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is enabled via
516 prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) or the seccomp() syscall, it cannot be
517 disabled and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe
518 syscalls defined by each seccomp mode.

1138 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks

1141 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
1142 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
1143
1144 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
1145 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
1146 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
1147 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
1148 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
1149 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
1150

1152 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
