81 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such

83
84 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
85 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
86 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
87 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
88 conditional block of instructions.
89
90 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
91 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
92 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

151 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

167 bool
168 help
169 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
170 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
171 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
172 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
173 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
174 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
175 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
176 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
177 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
178 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
179 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
180
181 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
182 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
183 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

800 depends on HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK && !KASAN
801 ---help---
802 Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
803 with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be
804 caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
805 corruption.
806
807 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
808 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
809 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.

825 If this is set, kernel text and rodata memory will be made read-only,
826 and non-text memory will be made non-executable. This provides
827 protection against certain security exploits (e.g. executing the heap
828 or modifying text)

830 These features are considered standard security practice these days.
831 You should say Y here in almost all cases.

850 bool
851 help
852 An architecture selects this when it has implemented refcount_t
853 using open coded assembly primitives that provide an optimized
854 refcount_t implementation, possibly at the expense of some full
855 refcount state checks of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y.
856
857 The refcount overflow check behavior, however, must be retained.
858 Catching overflows is the primary security concern for protecting
859 against bugs in reference counts.

863 help
864 Enabling this switches the refcounting infrastructure from a fast
865 unchecked atomic_t implementation to a fully state checked
866 implementation, which can be (slightly) slower but provides protections
867 against various use-after-free conditions that can be used in
868 security flaw exploits.
