75 help
76 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
77 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
78 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
79
80 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
81 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
82 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
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.

138 architectures without unaligned access.

141 accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even

150 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
151 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
152 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
153 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
154 handler.)
155
156 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
157 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
158 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
159 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
160 problems with received packets if doing so would not help

166config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
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.

875
876 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
877 vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
878 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
879 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
880 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
881 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
