72 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
73 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
74
75 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
76 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
77 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
78 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
79 conditional block of instructions.
80
81 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
82 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
83 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

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

885 def_bool n
886 help
887 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
888 in vmalloc space. This means:
889
890 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
891 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
892
893 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
894 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
895 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
896 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
897 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
898 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
899
900 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
901 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
902 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

908 ---help---
909 Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
910 with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be
911 caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
912 corruption.
913
914 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
915 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
916 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
