11 The /dev/mem file by default only allows userspace access to PCI
12 space and the BIOS code and data regions. This is sufficient for
13 dosemu and X and all common users of /dev/mem. With this config
14 option, you allow userspace access to all of memory, including
15 kernel and userspace memory. Accidental access to this is
16 obviously disasterous, but specific access can be used by people
17 debugging the kernel.

23 Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
24 port.

26 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
27 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
28 it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
29 with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
30 unless you want to debug such a crash.

LT
121 help
122 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
123 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
124 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
125 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
126 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

152 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
153 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
154 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
155 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
156 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
157 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
158 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
159 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
160 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more

6d98ca73 260 depends on BROKEN
60a3cdd0
IM
261 help
262 This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
263 developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
264 do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
265 compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
266 disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
267 this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
268 become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
269 test gcc for this.
