79 | This option enables a transparent branch optimization that |
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 | ||
45f81b1c | 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. | |

157 | handler.) | |

159 | This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can | |
160 | perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different | |
161 | code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network | |

169 | config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP |
170 | bool | |
171 | help | |
172 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions | |
173 | for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old | |
174 | inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the | |
175 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's | |
176 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In | |
177 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap | |
178 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or | |
179 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It | |
180 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the | |
181 | hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it | |
182 | does, the use of the builtins is optional. | |
183 | ||
184 | Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap | |
185 | instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it | |
186 | on architectures that don't have such instructions. | |

920 | help | |
921 | An architecture selects this when it has implemented refcount_t | |
922 | using open coded assembly primitives that provide an optimized | |
923 | refcount_t implementation, possibly at the expense of some full | |
924 | refcount state checks of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y. | |
925 | ||
926 | The refcount overflow check behavior, however, must be retained. | |
927 | Catching overflows is the primary security concern for protecting | |
928 | against bugs in reference counts. | |

932 | help | |
933 | Enabling this switches the refcounting infrastructure from a fast | |
934 | unchecked atomic_t implementation to a fully state checked | |
935 | implementation, which can be (slightly) slower but provides protections | |
936 | against various use-after-free conditions that can be used in | |
937 | security flaw exploits. | |

950 | May be selected by an architecture if it supports place-relative | |
951 | 32-bit relocations, both in the toolchain and in the module loader, | |
952 | in which case relative references can be used in special sections | |
953 | for PCI fixup, initcalls etc which are only half the size on 64 bit | |
954 | architectures, and don't require runtime relocation on relocatable | |
955 | kernels. | |
