69 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
70 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
71
72 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
73 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
74 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
75 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
76 conditional block of instructions.
77
78 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
79 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
80 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

83 flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

155 bool
156 help
157 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
158 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
159 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
160 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
161 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
162 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
163 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
164 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
165 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
166 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
167 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
168
169 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
170 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
171 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

903 def_bool n
904 help
905 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
906 in vmalloc space. This means:
907
908 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
909 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
910
911 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
912 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
913 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
914 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
915 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
916 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
917
918 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
919 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
920 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

927 Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
928 with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be
929 caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
930 corruption.
931
932 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
933 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
934 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
