- 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.

- help
- An arch should select this symbol if it can support kernel stacks
- in vmalloc space. This means:
- - vmalloc space must be large enough to hold many kernel stacks.
- This may rule out many 32-bit architectures.
- - Stacks in vmalloc space need to work reliably. For example, if
- 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.
- - If the stack overflows into a guard page, something reasonable
- should happen. The definition of "reasonable" is flexible, but
- instantly rebooting without logging anything would be unfriendly.

- Enable this if you want the use virtually-mapped kernel stacks
- with guard pages. This causes kernel stack overflows to be
- caught immediately rather than causing difficult-to-diagnose
- corruption.
- This is presently incompatible with KASAN because KASAN expects
- the stack to map directly to the KASAN shadow map using a formula
- that is incorrect if the stack is in vmalloc space.
