81 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such

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

151 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

157 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different

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

792 help
793 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
794 in vmalloc space. This means:
795
796 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
797 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
798
799 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
800 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
801 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
802 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
803 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
804 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
805
806 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
807 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
808 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

813 depends on HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK && !KASAN
814 ---help---
815 Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
816 with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be
817 caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
818 corruption.
819
820 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
821 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
822 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.

864 help
865 An architecture selects this when it has implemented refcount_t
866 using open coded assembly primitives that provide an optimized
867 refcount_t implementation, possibly at the expense of some full
868 refcount state checks of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y.
869
870 The refcount overflow check behavior, however, must be retained.
871 Catching overflows is the primary security concern for protecting
872 against bugs in reference counts.
