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

45 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful

53 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
54 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
55 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
56
57 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
58 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
59 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
60
45f81b1c 61 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
62 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
63 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
64 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
65 conditional block of instructions.
66
67 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
68 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
69 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

94 Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
95 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
96 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
97 libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
98 are hit by user-space applications.

JB
108 help
109 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
110 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
111 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
112 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
113 handler.)
114
115 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
116 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
117 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
118 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
119 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
120 much.

122 See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
123 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.

125config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
126 bool
127 help
128 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
129 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
130 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
131 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
132 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
133 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
134 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
135 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
136 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
137 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
138 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
139
140 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
141 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
142 on architectures that don't have such instructions.
