59 | This option enables a transparent branch optimization that |
60 | makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch | |
61 | conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel. | |
62 | ||
63 | Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points, | |
64 | scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such | |
65 | branches and include support for this optimization technique. | |
66 | ||
45f81b1c | 67 | If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", |
c5905afb IM |
68 | the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop |
69 | instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the | |
70 | nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the | |
71 | conditional block of instructions. | |
72 | ||
73 | This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction | |
74 | of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update | |
75 | of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare. | |

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

753 | An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks | |

756 | - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks. | |
757 | This may rule out many 32-bit architectures. | |
758 | ||
759 | - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if | |
760 | vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism | |
761 | needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with | |
762 | unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(), | |
763 | most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries | |
764 | are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack. | |
765 | ||

767 | should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but | |
768 | instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly. | |
