60 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
61 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
62 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
63 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
67 bool "Optimize very unlikely/likely branches"
68 depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
69 select OBJTOOL if HAVE_JUMP_LABEL_HACK
71 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
72 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
73 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
75 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
76 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
77 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
79 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
80 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
81 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
82 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
83 conditional block of instructions.
85 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
86 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
87 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

122 Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
123 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
124 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
125 libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
126 are hit by user-space applications.

132 config HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
133 def_bool 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
135 Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit
136 aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
137 to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
138 architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
139 architectures without unaligned access.
141 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit
142 accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even
143 though it is not a 64 bit architecture.
145 See Documentation/core-api/unaligned-memory-access.rst for
146 more information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
148 config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
151 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
152 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
153 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
154 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
157 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
158 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
159 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
160 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
161 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
164 See Documentation/core-api/unaligned-memory-access.rst for more
165 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
167 config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
170 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
171 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
172 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
173 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
174 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
175 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
176 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
177 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
178 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
179 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
180 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
182 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
183 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
184 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

572 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available
573 to the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write

626 feature puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value on
627 the stack just before the return address, and validates
628 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
629 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
630 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
631 neutralized via a kernel panic.
633 Functions will have the stack-protector canary logic added if they
634 have an 8-byte or larger character array on the stack.

684 - GCC: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Instrumentation-Options.html#Instrumentation-Options
686 Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the
687 ones documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses
688 of shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable of
689 reading and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them

822 config HAVE_ARCH_WITHIN_STACK_FRAMES
825 An architecture should select this if it can walk the kernel stack
826 frames to determine if an object is part of either the arguments
827 or local variables (i.e. that it excludes saved return addresses,
828 and similar) by implementing an inline arch_within_stack_frames(),
829 which is used by CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY.
831 config HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_USER
834 Provide kernel/user boundaries probes necessary for subsystems
835 that need it, such as userspace RCU extended quiescent state.
836 Syscalls need to be wrapped inside user_exit()-user_enter(), either
837 optimized behind static key or through the slow path using TIF_NOHZ
838 flag. Exceptions handlers must be wrapped as well. Irqs are already
839 protected inside ct_irq_enter/ct_irq_exit() but preemption or signal
840 handling on irq exit still need to be protected.
842 config HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_USER_OFFSTACK
845 Architecture neither relies on exception_enter()/exception_exit()
846 nor on schedule_user(). Also preempt_schedule_notrace() and
847 preempt_schedule_irq() can't be called in a preemptible section
848 while context tracking is CONTEXT_USER. This feature reflects a sane
849 entry implementation where the following requirements are met on
850 critical entry code, ie: before user_exit() or after user_enter():
852 - Critical entry code isn't preemptible (or better yet:
854 - No use of RCU read side critical sections, unless ct_nmi_enter()
856 - No use of instrumentation, unless instrumentation_begin() got
862 Arch relies on TIF_NOHZ and syscall slow path to implement context
863 tracking calls to user_enter()/user_exit().

881 With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
882 Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
883 to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
884 cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
885 some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper
886 locking is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

892 support irq time accounting and then call enable_sched_clock_irqtime().

1306 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
1308 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if

1310 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
1311 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
1312 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
1313 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
