We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off from the task struct), but that is about to change. But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and freeing functions are. Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical. That identity then meant that we would have things like ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node); ... tsk->stack = ti; which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code just gets to be entirely bogus. So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be about the stack. The fact that the thread_info then shares the allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the allocation itself. This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's just that we clarify what the pointer means. The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd, but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity doesn't matter. It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and type change.

This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

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.

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.
