56 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
57 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
58 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
59
60 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
61 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
62 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
63
45f81b1c 64 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
65 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
66 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
67 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
68 conditional block of instructions.
69
70 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
71 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
72 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

102 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
103 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and

105 are hit by user-space applications.

146config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
147 bool
148 help
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.

527 help
528 With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
529 Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
530 to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
531 cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
532 some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper
533 locking is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

578 help
579 Architecture doesn't only execute the irq handler on the irq stack
580 but also irq_exit(). This way we can process softirqs on this irq
581 stack instead of switching to a new one when we call __do_softirq()
582 in the end of an hardirq.
583 This spares a stack switch and improves cache usage on softirq
584 processing.

749 help
750 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
751 in vmalloc space. This means:
752
753 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
754 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
755
756 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
757 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
758 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
759 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
760 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
761 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
762
763 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
764 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
765 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

776
777 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
778 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
779 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
