45 Write kernel log output directly into the xHCI debug port.
46
47 One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
48 machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
49 initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
50 a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.
51
52 For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
53 because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
54 print anything on the screen.
55
56 You should normally say N here, unless you want to debug early
57 crashes or need a very simple printk logging facility.

75 This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
76 kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
77 certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
78 tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
79 to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
80 for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
81 invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
3df3212f 82
0ecfacb4 83 flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
