81 help
82 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
83 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
84 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
85
86 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
87 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
88 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
89
90 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
91 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
92 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
93 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
94 conditional block of instructions.
95
96 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
97 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
98 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

131 are hit by user-space applications.

142 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
143 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
144 handler.)
145
146 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
147 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
148 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
149 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
150 problems with received packets if doing so would not help

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

850 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks

852
853 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
854 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
855
856 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
857 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
858 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
859 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
860 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
861 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
862

864 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
