84 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
85
86 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
87 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
88 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
89
24b54fee 90 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
91 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
92 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
93 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
94 conditional block of instructions.
95
96 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
97 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
98 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

127 Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
128 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
129 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
130 libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
131 are hit by user-space applications.

141 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

147 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different

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

517 Functions will have the stack-protector canary logic added in any
518 of the following conditions:
519
520 - local variable's address used as part of the right hand side of an
521 assignment or function argument
522 - local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
523 regardless of array type or length
524 - uses register local variables
525
526 This feature requires gcc version 4.9 or above, or a distribution
527 gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector-strong").
528
529 On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to
530 about 20% of all kernel functions, which increases the kernel code
531 size by about 2%.

552 Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the
553 ones documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses
554 of shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable of
555 reading and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them
556 and hijack control flow by modifying the stacks.

862 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
