Steven Rostedt45f81b12010-10-29 12:33:43 -040056
Ingo Molnarc5905af2012-02-24 08:31:31 +010057 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
58 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
59 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
60
61 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
62 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
63 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
64 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
65 conditional block of instructions.
66
67 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
68 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
69 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

71 ( On 32-bit x86, the necessary options added to the compiler
72 flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

126 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

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

388 Functions will have the stack-protector canary logic added in any
389 of the following conditions:
390
391 - local variable's address used as part of the right hand side of an
392 assignment or function argument
393 - local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
394 regardless of array type or length
395 - uses register local variables

397 This feature requires gcc version 4.9 or above, or a distribution
398 gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector-strong").
399
400 On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to
401 about 20% of all kernel functions, which increases the kernel code
402 size by about 2%.

411 Syscalls need to be wrapped inside user_exit()-user_enter() through
412 the slow path using TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be
413 wrapped as well. Irqs are already protected inside
414 rcu_irq_enter/rcu_irq_exit() but preemption or signal handling on
415 irq exit still need to be protected.

423 help
424 With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
425 Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
426 to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
427 cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
428 some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper
429 locking is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

471 help
472 Architecture doesn't only execute the irq handler on the irq stack
473 but also irq_exit(). This way we can process softirqs on this irq
474 stack instead of switching to a new one when we call __do_softirq()
475 in the end of an hardirq.
476 This spares a stack switch and improves cache usage on softirq
477 processing.
