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

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

	  Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
	  debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
	  who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.

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".

	---help---

	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

	If in doubt, say "N".

	  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
270 271 272 273
	  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.
