cmpxchg() is widely used by lockless code, including NMI-safe lockless code. But on some architectures, the cmpxchg() implementation is not NMI-safe, on these architectures the lockless code may need a spin_trylock_irqsave() based implementation. This patch adds a Kconfig option: ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so that NMI-safe lockless code can depend on it or provide different implementation according to it. On many architectures, cmpxchg is only NMI-safe for several specific operand sizes. So, ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG define in this patch only guarantees cmpxchg is NMI-safe for sizeof(unsigned long).

The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing

feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and

execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes

a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful

for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
|
|
the kernel will compile trace point locations with just a
|
|
nop instruction. When trace points are enabled, the nop will
|
|
be converted to a jump to the trace function. This technique
|
|
lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction of the
|
|
processor.

On i386, options added to the compiler flags may increase

the size of the kernel slightly.

Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses

without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are

unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception

handler.)
|

This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
|
|
perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
|
|
code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network

drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
|
|
problems with received packets if doing so would not help
|
|
much.
