78	help
79	 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
80	 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
81	 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
82
83	 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
84	 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
85	 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
86
87	 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
88	 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
89	 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
90	 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
91	 conditional block of instructions.
92
93	 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
94	 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
95	 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

124	  Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
125	  enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
126	  to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
127	  libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
128	  are hit by user-space applications.

137	  Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
138	  without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
139	  unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
140	  unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
141	  handler.)
142
143	  This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
144	  perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
145	  code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
146	  drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
147	  problems with received packets if doing so would not help

153config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
154	bool
155	help
156	 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
157	 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
158	 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
159	 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
160	 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
161	 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
162	 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
163	 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
164	 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
165	 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.  But just in case it
166	 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
167
168	 Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
169	 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
170	 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

829	    most likely) needs to ensure that the stack's page table entries
830	    are populated before running on a possibly unpopulated stack.
