Ingo Molnarc5905af2012-02-24 08:31:31 +010060 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
61 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
62 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
63
64 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
65 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
66 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
67 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
68 conditional block of instructions.
69
70 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
71 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
72 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.
73
74 ( On 32-bit x86, the necessary options added to the compiler
75 flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

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

375 compiler. They are useful for runtime instrumentation and static analysis.

401 bool "Generate some entropy during boot and runtime"
402 depends on GCC_PLUGINS
403 help
404 By saying Y here the kernel will instrument some kernel code to
405 extract some entropy from both original and artificially created
406 program state. This will help especially embedded systems where
407 there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally. The cost
408 is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
409 irq processing.
410
411 Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
412 secure!
