All SMP architectures have magic to fork the idle task and to store it for reusage when cpu hotplug is enabled. Provide a generic infrastructure for it. Create/reinit the idle thread for the cpu which is brought up in the generic code and hand the thread pointer to the architecture code via __cpu_up(). Note, that fork_idle() is called via a workqueue, because this guarantees that the idle thread does not get a reference to a user space VM. This can happen when the boot process did not bring up all possible cpus and a later cpu_up() is initiated via the sysfs interface. In that case fork_idle() would be called in the context of the user space task and take a reference on the user space VM.

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and

execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes

help

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.
|
|
|
|
( On 32-bit x86, the necessary 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

|
unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on

|
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.
