42 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
43 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
44 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
45 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
46 If in doubt, say "N".

Krzysztof Kozlowski24b54fe2019-12-04 16:50:26 -080061 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
Ingo Molnarc5905af2012-02-24 08:31:31 +010062 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
63 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
64 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
65 conditional block of instructions.
66
67 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
68 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
69 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

71 ( On 32-bit x86, the necessary options added to the compiler
72 flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

133 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
134 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
135 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
136 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
137 handler.)

140 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different

151 help
David Woodhousecf66bb92012-12-03 16:25:40 +0000152 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
153 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
154 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
155 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
156 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
157 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
158 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
159 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
160 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
161 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
162 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
163
164 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
165 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
166 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

1190 An architecture can select this if it provides an
1191 asm/compiler.h header that should be included after
1192 linux/compiler-*.h in order to override macro definitions that those
1193 headers generally provide.

1198 May be selected by an architecture if it supports place-relative
1199 32-bit relocations, both in the toolchain and in the module loader,
1200 in which case relative references can be used in special sections
1201 for PCI fixup, initcalls etc which are only half the size on 64 bit
1202 architectures, and don't require runtime relocation on relocatable
1203 kernels.

Waiman Longfb346fd2019-04-04 13:43:17 -04001212 Enable light-weight counting of various locking related events
1213 in the system with minimal performance impact. This reduces
1214 the chance of application behavior change because of timing
1215 differences. The counts are reported via debugfs.

1227 format. Requires a compatible linker (LLD supports this feature), as
1228 well as compatible NM and OBJCOPY utilities (llvm-nm and llvm-objcopy
1229 are compatible).

1237 An architecture should select this if its syscall numbering is sparse
1238 to save space. For example, MIPS architecture has a syscall array with
1239 entries at 4000, 5000 and 6000 locations. This option turns on syscall
1240 related optimizations for a given architecture.

1264 An arch should select this symbol once all linker sections are explicitly
1265 included, size-asserted, or discarded in the linker scripts. This is
1266 important because we never want expected sections to be placed heuristically
1267 by the linker, since the locations of such sections can change between linker
1268 versions.
