Add a user-space selftest of x86 instruction decoder at kernel build time. When CONFIG_X86_DECODER_SELFTEST=y, Kbuild builds a test harness of x86 instruction decoder and performs it after building vmlinux. The test compares the results of objdump and x86 instruction decoder code and check there are no differences.

bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
|
|
---help---
|
|
If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
|
|
of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
|
|
access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
|
|
be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
|
|
enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
|
|
use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
|
|
|
|
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
|
|
userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
|
|
This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
|
|
/dev/mem.

Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial

This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very

it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate

who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.

It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production

---help---
|

Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,

config 4KSTACKS
|
|
bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
|
|
depends on X86_32
|
|
---help---
|
|
If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
|
|
kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
|
|
running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
|
|
on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
|
|
will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
|
|
|
|
config DOUBLEFAULT
|
|
default y
|
|
bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
|
|
depends on X86_32
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
|
|
would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
|
|
option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
|
|
hair.

|
|
bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
|
|
depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
|
|
depends on X86_64
|
|
---help---
|
|
Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
|
|
memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
|
|
allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
|
|
time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
|
|
list merging. Currently not recommended for production
|
|
code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
|
|
IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
|
|
be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
|
|
options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
config IOMMU_STRESS

bool "Enable IOMMU stress-test mode"
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option disables various optimizations in IOMMU related
|

code to do real stress testing of the IOMMU code. This option
|
|
will cause a performance drop and should only be enabled for
|
|
testing.
|

This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
|
|
developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
|
|
do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
|
|
compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
|
|
enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
|
|
this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
|
|
decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
|
|
is there to test gcc for this.
