68 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
69 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
70
71 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
72 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
73 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
74 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
75 conditional block of instructions.
76
77 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
78 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
79 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

82 flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

137 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
138 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

144 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different

154 bool
155 help
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
166 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
167
168 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
169 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
170 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

873 def_bool n
874 help
875 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
876 in vmalloc space. This means:
877
878 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
879 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
880
881 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
882 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
883 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
884 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
885 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
886 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
887
888 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
889 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
890 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

896 ---help---
897 Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
898 with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be
899 caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
900 corruption.
901
902 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
903 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
904 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.

946 An architecture selects this when it has implemented refcount_t
