47 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
48 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
49 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
50 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

59 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
60 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.

62 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
63 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
64 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
c5905afb 65
9f79ffc1
JH
66 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
67 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
68 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
69 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
70 conditional block of instructions.

72 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
73 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
74 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

109 Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
110 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
111 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and

113 are hit by user-space applications.

9f79ffc1

157 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
158 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
159 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
160 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
161 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
162 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
163 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
164 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
165 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
166 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
167 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
cf66bb93 168
9f79ffc1
JH
169 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
170 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
171 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

1215 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
1216 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),

1218 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
