70 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
71 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
72 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
73
74 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
75 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
76 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
77
45f81b1c 78 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
79 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
80 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
81 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
82 conditional block of instructions.
83
84 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
85 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
86 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

160config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
161 bool
162 help
163 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
164 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
165 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
166 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
167 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
168 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
169 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
170 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
171 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
172 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
173 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
174
175 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
176 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
177 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

523 function pointers (and have not been manually annotated with
524 __no_randomize_layout), or structures that have been explicitly
525 marked with __randomize_layout, will be randomized at compile-time.
526 This can introduce the requirement of an additional information
527 exposure vulnerability for exploits targeting these structure
528 types.

531 slightly increase memory usage, and prevent the use of forensic
532 tools like Volatility against the system (unless the kernel
533 source tree isn't cleaned after kernel installation).

535 The seed used for compilation is located at
536 scripts/gcc-plgins/randomize_layout_seed.h. It remains after
537 a make clean to allow for external modules to be compiled with
538 the existing seed and will be removed by a make mrproper or
539 make distclean.
