67 | This option enables a transparent branch optimization that |

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

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

946 | help | |
947 | An architecture selects this when it has implemented refcount_t | |
948 | using open coded assembly primitives that provide an optimized | |
949 | refcount_t implementation, possibly at the expense of some full | |
950 | refcount state checks of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y. | |
951 | ||
952 | The refcount overflow check behavior, however, must be retained. | |
953 | Catching overflows is the primary security concern for protecting | |
954 | against bugs in reference counts. | |

958 | help | |
959 | Enabling this switches the refcounting infrastructure from a fast | |
960 | unchecked atomic_t implementation to a fully state checked | |
961 | implementation, which can be (slightly) slower but provides protections | |
962 | against various use-after-free conditions that can be used in | |
963 | security flaw exploits. | |
