45 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful

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. )

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

Kees Cook19952a92013-12-19 11:35:58 -0800366 feature puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value on
367 the stack just before the return address, and validates
368 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
369 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
370 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
371 neutralized via a kernel panic.

Kees Cook19952a92013-12-19 11:35:58 -0800385 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
Kees Cook87796572013-12-19 11:35:59 -0800386 gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector").
387
388 On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to
389 about 3% of all kernel functions, which increases kernel code size
390 by about 0.3%.

395 help
396 Functions will have the stack-protector canary logic added in any
397 of the following conditions:
398
399 - local variable's address used as part of the right hand side of an
400 assignment or function argument
401 - local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
402 regardless of array type or length
403 - uses register local variables
404
405 This feature requires gcc version 4.9 or above, or a distribution
406 gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector-strong").
407
408 On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to
409 about 20% of all kernel functions, which increases the kernel code
410 size by about 2%.

421 wrapped as well. Irqs are already protected inside
422 rcu_irq_enter/rcu_irq_exit() but preemption or signal handling on

431 help
432 With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
433 Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
434 to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
435 cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
436 some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper
437 locking is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

480 Architecture doesn't only execute the irq handler on the irq stack
481 but also irq_exit(). This way we can process softirqs on this irq
482 stack instead of switching to a new one when we call __do_softirq()
483 in the end of an hardirq.
484 This spares a stack switch and improves cache usage on softirq
485 processing.
