  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.

 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.

 944           An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
 945           in vmalloc space.  This means:
 946
 947           - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
 948             This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
 949
 950           - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably.  For example, if
 951             vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism
 952             needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with
 953             unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),
 954             most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
 955             are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
 956
 957           - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
 958             should happen.  The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
 959             instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

 969           corruption.
 970
 971           This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
 972           the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
 973           that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
