  85         This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
  86         makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
  87         conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
  88
  89         Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
  90         scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
  91         branches and include support for this optimization technique.
  92
  93         If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
  94         the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
  95         instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
  96         nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
  97         conditional block of instructions.
  98
  99         This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
 100         of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
 101         of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

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

 165config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
 166        bool
 167        help
 168         Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
 169         for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
 170         inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
 171         __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
 172         happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
 173         particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
 174         with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
 175         store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
 176         should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
 177         hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
 178         does, the use of the builtins is optional.
 179
 180         Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
 181         instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
 182         on architectures that don't have such instructions.

 496          that may need to handle untrusted bytecode during their
 497          execution. By using pipes or other transports made available
 498          to the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
 499          syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in their
 500          own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is enabled via
 501          prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) or the seccomp() syscall, it cannot be

 919          Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
 920          with guard pages.  This causes kernel stack overflows to be
 921          caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
 922          corruption.
 923
 924          To use this with KASAN, the architecture must support backing
 925          virtual mappings with real shadow memory, and KASAN_VMALLOC must
 926          be enabled.
