39 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
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.

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

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

107 ( These probes come in the form of single-byte breakpoints,
108 managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed
109 application. )

115 aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
116 to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
117 architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
118 architectures without unaligned access.

130 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
131 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

134 handler.)

137 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different

148 help
cf66bb93

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

1131 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
1132 in vmalloc space. This means:
1133
1134 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
1135 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
1136
1137 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
1138 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
1139 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
1140 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
1141 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
1142 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
1143
1144 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
1145 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but

1335 Each preemption function will be given an early return based on a
