63 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

65 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.

72 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
73 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
74 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
75 conditional block of instructions.
76
77 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
78 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
79 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

153config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
154 bool
155 help
156 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
157 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
158 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
159 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
160 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
161 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
162 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
163 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
164 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
165 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
166 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
167
168 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
169 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
170 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

802 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
803 in vmalloc space. This means:
804
805 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
806 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
807
808 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
809 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
810 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
811 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
812 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
813 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
814
815 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
816 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
817 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.
