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 Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
236 for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
237 inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
238 __arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
239 happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
240 particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
241 with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
242 store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
243 should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
244 hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
245 does, the use of the builtins is optional.
246

248 instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it

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