81 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such

83
84 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
85 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
86 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
87 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
88 conditional block of instructions.
89
90 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
91 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
92 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

151 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

167 bool
168 help
169 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
170 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
171 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
172 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
173 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
174 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
175 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
176 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
177 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
178 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
179 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
180
181 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
182 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
183 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

803 If this is set, kernel text and rodata memory will be made read-only,
804 and non-text memory will be made non-executable. This provides
805 protection against certain security exploits (e.g. executing the heap
806 or modifying text)
807
808 These features are considered standard security practice these days.
809 You should say Y here in almost all cases.

829 help
830 An architecture selects this when it has implemented refcount_t
831 using open coded assembly primitives that provide an optimized
832 refcount_t implementation, possibly at the expense of some full
833 refcount state checks of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y.
834
835 The refcount overflow check behavior, however, must be retained.
836 Catching overflows is the primary security concern for protecting
837 against bugs in reference counts.

841 help
842 Enabling this switches the refcounting infrastructure from a fast
843 unchecked atomic_t implementation to a fully state checked
844 implementation, which can be (slightly) slower but provides protections
845 against various use-after-free conditions that can be used in
846 security flaw exploits.

860 32-bit relocations, both in the toolchain and in the module loader,
861 in which case relative references can be used in special sections
862 for PCI fixup, initcalls etc which are only half the size on 64 bit
863 architectures, and don't require runtime relocation on relocatable
864 kernels.
