Ingo Molnarc5905af2012-02-24 08:31:31 +010063 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
64 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
65 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
66
67 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
68 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
69 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
70 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
71 conditional block of instructions.
72
73 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
74 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
75 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.
76
77 ( On 32-bit x86, the necessary options added to the compiler
78 flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

133 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

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

390 bool "Generate some entropy during boot and runtime"
391 depends on GCC_PLUGINS
392 help
393 By saying Y here the kernel will instrument some kernel code to
394 extract some entropy from both original and artificially created
395 program state. This will help especially embedded systems where
396 there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally. The cost
397 is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
398 irq processing.
399
400 Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
401 secure!
