90 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
91
92 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
93 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
94 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
95
96 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
97 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
98 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
99 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
100 conditional block of instructions.
101
102 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
103 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
104 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

187 help
188 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
189 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
190 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
191 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
192 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
193 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
194 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
195 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
196 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
197 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
198 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
199

654 the stack just before the return address, and validates
655 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
656 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
657 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
658 neutralized via a kernel panic.

1420 - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if

1422 needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
1423 unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
1424 most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
1425 are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
