  42          Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
  43          execute a callback function.  register_kprobe() establishes
  44          a probepoint and specifies the callback.  Kprobes is useful
  45          for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

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

 105          enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
 106          to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
 107          libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
 108          are hit by user-space applications.

 117          Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit
 118          aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values
 119          to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit
 120          architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit
 121          architectures without unaligned access.
 122
 123          This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit
 124          accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even
 125          though it is not a 64 bit architecture.

 133          Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
 134          without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
 135          unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
 136          unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
 137          handler.)
 138
 139          This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
 140          perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
 141          code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
 142          drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
 143          problems with received packets if doing so would not help
 144          much.

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