Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it
on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn
mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta
missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific.
Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it
select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is
unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to
manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative
execution.
Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS
is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common
CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all
of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want*
to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

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.

flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

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.

An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks

vmap page tables are created on demand, either this mechanism

needs to work while the stack points to a virtual address with

unpopulated page tables or arch code (switch_to() and switch_mm(),

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