63 help
64 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

66 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
67
68 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
69 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
70 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
71
72 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
73 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
74 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
75 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
76 conditional block of instructions.
77
78 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
79 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
80 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

154config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
155 bool
156 help
157 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
158 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
159 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
160 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
161 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
162 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
163 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
164 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
165 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
166 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
167 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
168
169 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
170 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
171 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

163 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
164 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
165 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
166 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
167 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the

946 in the system with minimal performance impact. This reduces
947 the chance of application behavior change because of timing
948 differences. The counts are reported via debugfs.

959 Store the kernel's dynamic relocations in the RELR relocation packing
960 format. Requires a compatible linker (LLD supports this feature), as
961 well as compatible NM and OBJCOPY utilities (llvm-nm and llvm-objcopy
962 are compatible).

970 An architecture should select this if its syscall numbering is sparse
971 to save space. For example, MIPS architecture has a syscall array with
972 entries at 4000, 5000 and 6000 locations. This option turns on syscall
973 related optimizations for a given architecture.
