  64         This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
  65         makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
  66         conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
  67
  68         Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
  69         scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
  70         branches and include support for this optimization technique.
  71
  72         If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
  73         the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
  74         instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
  75         nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
  76         conditional block of instructions.
  77
  78         This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
  79         of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
  80         of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

 126          architectures without unaligned access.

 139          without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
 140          unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
 141          unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
 142          handler.)
 143
 144          This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
 145          perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
 146          code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
 147          drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment

 154config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
 155       bool
 156       help
 157         Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
 158         for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
 159         inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
 160         __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
 161         happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
 162         particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
 163         with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
 164         store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
 165         should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
 166         hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
 167         does, the use of the builtins is optional.
 168
 169         Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
 170         instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
 171         on architectures that don't have such instructions.

 892          - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably.  For example, if
 893            vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
 894            needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
 895            unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
 896            most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
 897            are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
 898
 899          - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
 900            should happen.  The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
 901            instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

 908          Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
 909          with guard pages.  This causes kernel stack overflows to be
 910          caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
 911          corruption.
 912
 913          This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
 914          the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
 915          that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
