75 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
76 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
77 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
78
79 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
80 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
81 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
82
45f81b1c 83 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
84 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
85 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
86 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
87 conditional block of instructions.
88
89 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
90 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
91 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

165config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
166 bool
167 help
168 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
169 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
170 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
171 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
172 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
173 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
174 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
175 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
176 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
177 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
178 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
179
180 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
181 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
182 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

524 With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
525 Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
526 to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
527 cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
528 some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper
529 locking is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

782 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
783 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
784
785 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
786 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
787 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
788 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
789 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
790 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
