59 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
60 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
61 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
62
63 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
64 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
65 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
66
45f81b1c 67 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",

68 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
69 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
70 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
71 conditional block of instructions.
72
73 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
74 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
75 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

148config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
149 bool
150 help
151 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
152 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
153 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
154 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
155 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
156 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
157 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
158 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
159 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
160 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
161 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
162
163 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
164 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
165 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

572 help
573 Architecture doesn't only execute the irq handler on the irq stack
574 but also irq_exit(). This way we can process softirqs on this irq
575 stack instead of switching to a new one when we call __do_softirq()
576 in the end of an hardirq.
577 This spares a stack switch and improves cache usage on softirq

742 def_bool n
743 help
744 An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
745 in vmalloc space. This means:
746
747 - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
748 This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
749
750 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
751 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
752 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
753 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
754 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
755 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
756
757 - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
758 should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
759 instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

770
771 This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
772 the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
773 that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
