This option enables a transparent branch optimization that makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.

the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the conditional block of instructions. This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare. |

Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe') to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes are hit by user-space applications. ( These probes come in the form of single-byte breakpoints, managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed application. ) |

config HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS def_bool 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS help Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit aligned, which also requires structs containing 64 bit values to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit architectures without unaligned access. This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even though it is not a 64 bit architecture.

help Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception handler.) This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment problems with received packets if doing so would not help much. See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses. |

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

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

Provide kernel/user boundaries probes necessary for subsystems that need it, such as userspace RCU extended quiescent state. Syscalls need to be wrapped inside user_exit()-user_enter() through the slow path using TIF_NOHZ flag. Exceptions handlers must be wrapped as well. Irqs are already protected inside rcu_irq_enter/rcu_irq_exit() but preemption or signal handling on irq exit still need to be protected. |

For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper locking is needed to protect against concurrent accesses. |

config HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK def_bool n help An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks in vmalloc space. This means: - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks. This may rule out many 32-bit architectures. - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(), most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack. - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly. config VMAP_STACK default y bool "Use a virtually-mapped stack" depends on HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK && !KASAN ---help--- Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose corruption. This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space. |
