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.

150 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

156 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different

167 help
David Woodhousecf66bb92012-12-03 16:25:40 +0000168 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.

896 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks

899 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
900 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
901
902 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
903 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
904 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
905 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
906 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
907 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
908

910 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
