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.

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.

378 This option turns on the "stack-protector" GCC feature. This
Kees Cook19952a92013-12-19 11:35:58 -0800379 feature puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value on
380 the stack just before the return address, and validates
381 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
382 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
383 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
384 neutralized via a kernel panic.

413 assignment or function argument
414 - local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
415 regardless of array type or length
416 - uses register local variables

418 This feature requires gcc version 4.9 or above, or a distribution
419 gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector-strong").

421 On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to

445 With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
446 Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
447 to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
448 cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
449 some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper
