Krzysztof Kozlowski24b54fe2019-12-04 16:50:26 -080093 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
Ingo Molnarc5905af2012-02-24 08:31:31 +010094 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
95 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
96 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
97 conditional block of instructions.
98
99 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
100 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
101 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

183 help
David Woodhousecf66bb92012-12-03 16:25:40 +0000184 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
185 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
186 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
187 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
188 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
189 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
190 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
191 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
192 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
193 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
194 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
195
196 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
197 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
198 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

912 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
913 in vmalloc space. This means:
914
915 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
916 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
917
918 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
919 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
920 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
921 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
922 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
923 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
924
925 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
926 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
927 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.
