50 One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
51 machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
52 initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
53 a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.
54
55 For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
56 because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
57 print anything on the screen.

60 crashes or need a very simple printk logging facility.

74 Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a

94 ---help---
95 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
96
97 This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
98 W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
99
100 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
101
102 x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
103
104 or like this, if the check failed:
105
106 x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
107
108 Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
109 still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
110 themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
111 of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
112
113 There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
114 once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.

134 This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
135 kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
136 certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
137 tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
138 to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
139 for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
140 invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
141
142 flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift

272 This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
273 developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
274 do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
275 compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and

SW
276 enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
277 this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
278 decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
279 is there to test gcc for this.
