135 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that

137 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
138
139 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
140 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
141 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
142
143 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
144 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
145 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
146 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
147 conditional block of instructions.
148
149 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
150 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
151 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

234 help
235 GCC and Clang have builtin functions for handling byte-swapping.
236 Using these allows the compiler to see what's happening and
237 offers more opportunity for optimisation. In particular, the
238 compiler will be able to combine the byteswap with a nearby load
239 or store and use load-and-swap or store-and-swap instructions if
240 the architecture has them. It should almost *never* result in code
241 which is worse than the hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>.
242 But just in case it does, the use of the builtins is optional.
243

245 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
246 on architectures that don't have such instructions.

647 help
648 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
649 that may need to handle untrusted bytecode during their
650 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available
651 to the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
652 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in their
653 own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is enabled via
654 prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) or the seccomp() syscall, it cannot be
655 disabled and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe
656 syscalls defined by each seccomp mode.
