79 | This option enables a transparent branch optimization that | |
c5905afb IM |
80 | makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch |
81 | conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel. | |
82 | ||
83 | Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points, | |
84 | scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such | |
85 | branches and include support for this optimization technique. | |
86 | ||
24b54fee | 87 | If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", |
c5905afb IM |
88 | the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop |
89 | instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the | |
90 | nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the | |
91 | conditional block of instructions. | |
92 | ||
93 | This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction | |
94 | of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update | |
95 | of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare. | |

137 | Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses | |

139 | unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on | |

141 | handler.) | |
142 | ||
143 | This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can | |
144 | perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different | |
145 | code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network | |

cf66bb93 DW |
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. | |

919 | If this is set, module text and rodata memory will be made read-only, | |
920 | and non-text memory will be made non-executable. This provides | |
921 | protection against certain security exploits (e.g. writing to text) | |

930 | An architecture can select this if it provides an | |
931 | asm/compiler.h header that should be included after | |
932 | linux/compiler-*.h in order to override macro definitions that those | |
933 | headers generally provide. | |

938 | May be selected by an architecture if it supports place-relative | |
939 | 32-bit relocations, both in the toolchain and in the module loader, | |
940 | in which case relative references can be used in special sections | |
941 | for PCI fixup, initcalls etc which are only half the size on 64 bit | |
942 | architectures, and don't require runtime relocation on relocatable | |
943 | kernels. | |

952 | Enable light-weight counting of various locking related events |
953 | in the system with minimal performance impact. This reduces | |
954 | the chance of application behavior change because of timing | |
955 | differences. The counts are reported via debugfs. | |

977 | An architecture should select this if its syscall numbering is sparse | |
978 | to save space. For example, MIPS architecture has a syscall array with | |
979 | entries at 4000, 5000 and 6000 locations. This option turns on syscall | |
980 | related optimizations for a given architecture. | |
