55 help
56 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

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

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

346 For best performance, an arch should use seccomp_phase1 and
347 seccomp_phase2 directly. It should call seccomp_phase1 for all
348 syscalls if TIF_SECCOMP is set, but seccomp_phase1 does not
349 need to be called from a ptrace-safe context. It must then
350 call seccomp_phase2 if seccomp_phase1 returns anything other
351 than SECCOMP_PHASE1_OK or SECCOMP_PHASE1_SKIP.

642 bool
643 help
644 Architecture provides copy_thread_tls to accept tls argument via
645 normal C parameter passing, rather than extracting the syscall
646 argument from pt_regs.

649 bool
650 help
651 Architecture supports the 'objtool check' host tool command, which
652 performs compile-time stack metadata validation.

658 If this is set, the architecture provides an <asm/hash.h>
659 file which provides platform-specific implementations of some
660 functions in <linux/hash.h> or fs/namei.c.

703 Architecture has old sigaction(2) syscall. Nope, not the same
704 as OLD_SIGSUSPEND | OLD_SIGSUSPEND3 - alpha has sigsuspend(2),
705 but fairly different variant of sigaction(2), thanks to OSF/1
706 compatibility...
