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

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

 947           An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
 948           in vmalloc space.  This means:
 949
 950           - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
 951             This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
 952
 953           - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably.  For example, if
 954             vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
 955             needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
 956             unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
 957             most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
 958             are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
 959
 960           - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
 961             should happen.  The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
 962             instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

 969           Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks

 971           caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
 972           corruption.
 973
 974           This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
 975           the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
 976           that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
