	  Write kernel log output directly into the xHCI debug port.

	  One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
	  machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
	  initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
	  a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.

	  For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
	  because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
	  print anything on the screen.

	  You should normally say N here, unless you want to debug early
	  crashes or need a very simple printk logging facility.

config DEBUG_WX
	bool "Warn on W+X mappings at boot"
	select X86_PTDUMP_CORE
	---help---
	  Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.

	  This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
	  W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.

	  Look for a message in dmesg output like this:

	    x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.

	  or like this, if the check failed:

	    x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.

	  Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
	  still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
	  themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
	  of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.

	  There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
	  once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.

	  If in doubt, say "Y".

	X86-only for now.

	This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
	kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
	certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
	tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
	to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
	for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
	invalidating instructions according to the following formula:

	flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
