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",

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.

149config 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.

541 Syscalls need to be wrapped inside user_exit()-user_enter() through
542 the slow path using TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be
543 wrapped as well. Irqs are already protected inside
544 rcu_irq_enter/rcu_irq_exit() but preemption or signal handling on
545 irq exit still need to be protected.

558 Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
559 to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
560 cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
561 some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper

779 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
780 in vmalloc space. This means:
781
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.
791
792 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
793 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
794 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

805
806 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
807 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
808 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
