  56         This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
  57         makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
  58         conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
  59
  60         Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
  61         scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
  62         branches and include support for this optimization technique.
  63
  64         If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
  65         the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
  66         instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
  67         nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
  68         conditional block of instructions.
  69
  70         This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
  71         of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
  72         of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

 145config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
 146       bool
 147       help
 148         Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
 149         for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
 150         inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
 151         __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
 152         happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
 153         particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
 154         with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
 155         store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
 156         should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
 157         hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
 158         does, the use of the builtins is optional.
 159
 160         Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
 161         instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
 162         on architectures that don't have such instructions.

 453          Functions will have the stack-protector canary logic added in any
 454          of the following conditions:
 455
 456          - local variable's address used as part of the right hand side of an
 457            assignment or function argument
 458          - local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
 459            regardless of array type or length
 460          - uses register local variables
 461
 462          This feature requires gcc version 4.9 or above, or a distribution
 463          gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector-strong").
 464
 465          On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to
 466          about 20% of all kernel functions, which increases the kernel code
 467          size by about 2%.

 745            This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.

 749            needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
 750            unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
 751            most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
 752            are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.

 769          the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
