Ingo Molnarc5905af2012-02-24 08:31:31 +010091 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
92 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
93 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
94 conditional block of instructions.
95
96 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
97 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
98 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

146 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
147 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
148 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
149 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception

153 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different

156 problems with received packets if doing so would not help

David Woodhousecf66bb92012-12-03 16:25:40 +0000165 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
166 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
167 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
168 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
169 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
170 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
171 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
172 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
173 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
174 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
175 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
176
177 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
178 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
179 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

893 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
894 in vmalloc space. This means:
895
896 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
897 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
898
899 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
900 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
901 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
902 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
903 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
904 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
905
906 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
907 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
908 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.
