84 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
85 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
86
87 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
88 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
89 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
90 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
91 conditional block of instructions.
92
93 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
94 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
95 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

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

138 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
139 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on

144 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different

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

818 help
819 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
820 in vmalloc space. This means:
821
822 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
823 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
824
825 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
826 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
827 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
828 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
829 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
830 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
831
832 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
833 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
834 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

840 ---help---
841 Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
842 with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be
843 caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
844 corruption.
845
846 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
847 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
848 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
