80 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
81 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
82
83 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
84 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
85 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
86 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
87 conditional block of instructions.
88
89 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
90 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
91 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

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

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

804 protection against certain security exploits (e.g. executing the heap

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

829 An architecture selects this when it has implemented refcount_t
830 using open coded assembly primitives that provide an optimized
831 refcount_t implementation, possibly at the expense of some full
832 refcount state checks of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y.
833
834 The refcount overflow check behavior, however, must be retained.
835 Catching overflows is the primary security concern for protecting
836 against bugs in reference counts.

841 Enabling this switches the refcounting infrastructure from a fast
842 unchecked atomic_t implementation to a fully state checked
843 implementation, which can be (slightly) slower but provides protections
844 against various use-after-free conditions that can be used in
845 security flaw exploits.

861 for PCI fixup, initcalls etc which are only half the size on 64 bit
862 architectures, and don't require runtime relocation on relocatable
