| 156 | Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions |
| 157 | for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old |
| 158 | inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the |
| 159 | __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's |
| 160 | happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In |
| 161 | particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap |
| 162 | with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or |
| 163 | store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It |
| 164 | should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the |
| 165 | hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it |

| 802 | An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks |

| 806 | This may rule out many 32-bit architectures. |
| 807 | |
| 808 | - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if |
| 809 | vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism |
| 810 | needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with |
| 811 | unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(), |
| 812 | most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries |
| 813 | are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack. |
| 814 | |
| 815 | - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable |
| 816 | should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but |
| 817 | instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly. |

| 828 | |
| 829 | This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects |
| 830 | the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula |
| 831 | that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space. |
