| Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and | |

| help | |
| 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. | |
| If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", | |
| 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. | |

| 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. | |
| See Documentation/core-api/unaligned-memory-access.rst for | |
| more information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses. | |
| config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS | |
| bool | |
| 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/core-api/unaligned-memory-access.rst 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. | |
