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.

flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

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.

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%.

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.

This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects

the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
