42 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
43 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
44 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
45 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

53 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
c5905afb

54 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
55 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
56
57 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
58 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
59 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
60
24b54fee 61 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
62 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
63 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
64 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
65 conditional block of instructions.
66
67 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
68 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
69 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

106 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and

108 are hit by user-space applications.

151 help
cf66bb93

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.

1049 Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
1050 with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be
1051 caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
1052 corruption.

1054 To use this with software KASAN modes, the architecture must support
1055 backing virtual mappings with real shadow memory, and KASAN_VMALLOC
1056 must be enabled.
