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

| config JUMP_LABEL |
| bool "Optimize very unlikely/likely branches" |
| depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL |
| select OBJTOOL if HAVE_JUMP_LABEL_HACK |
| help |
| This option enables a transparent branch optimization that |
| makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch |
| conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel. |
| |
| Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points, |
| scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such |
| branches and include support for this optimization technique. |
| |
| If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto", |
| the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop |
| instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the |
| nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the |
| conditional block of instructions. |
| |
| This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction |
| of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update |
| of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare. |

| config HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS |
| def_bool 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS |
| help |
| Some architectures require 64 bit accesses to be 64 bit |

| to be 64 bit aligned too. This includes some 32 bit |
| architectures which can do 64 bit accesses, as well as 64 bit |
| architectures without unaligned access. |
| |
| This symbol should be selected by an architecture if 64 bit |
| accesses are required to be 64 bit aligned in this way even |
| though it is not a 64 bit architecture. |

| |
| config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS |

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

| information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses. |

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