           This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

  	 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.

  	 branches and include support for this optimization technique.

  	 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop

  	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction

  	  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. )

  	  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.

  	  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.

  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.

  	  program state.  This will help especially embedded systems where
  	  there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally.  The cost
  	  is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
  	  irq processing.
  
  	  Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
  	  secure!

  	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.
