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

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.

755 With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
756 Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
757 to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
758 cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
759 some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper
760 locking is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

1029 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
