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.

52 help
53 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
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
61 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
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.

108 are hit by user-space applications.

118 aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
119 to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
120 architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
121 architectures without unaligned access.

124 accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even
125 though it is not a 64 bit architecture.

133 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
134 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
135 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
136 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
137 handler.)
138
139 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
140 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
141 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
142 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
143 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
144 much.

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.

1233 Store the kernel's dynamic relocations in the RELR relocation packing
1234 format. Requires a compatible linker (LLD supports this feature), as
1235 well as compatible NM and OBJCOPY utilities (llvm-nm and llvm-objcopy
1236 are compatible).

1247 An architecture should select this if its syscall numbering is sparse
1248 to save space. For example, MIPS architecture has a syscall array with
1249 entries at 4000, 5000 and 6000 locations. This option turns on syscall
1250 related optimizations for a given architecture.

1268 on top of static calls. It is strongly advised to support inline
1269 static call to avoid any overhead.

1274 An arch should select this symbol once all linker sections are explicitly
1275 included, size-asserted, or discarded in the linker scripts. This is
1276 important because we never want expected sections to be placed heuristically
1277 by the linker, since the locations of such sections can change between linker
1278 versions.
