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. Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points, scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such branches and include support for this optimization technique. |

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. |

It should call seccomp_phase1 for all syscalls if TIF_SECCOMP is set, but seccomp_phase1 does not need to be called from a ptrace-safe context. It must then call seccomp_phase2 if seccomp_phase1 returns anything other than SECCOMP_PHASE1_OK or SECCOMP_PHASE1_SKIP.

config HAVE_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK bool help Architecture doesn't only execute the irq handler on the irq stack but also irq_exit(). This way we can process softirqs on this irq stack instead of switching to a new one when we call __do_softirq() in the end of an hardirq. This spares a stack switch and improves cache usage on softirq processing. |
