63 One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your

66 a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.

105 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
106
107 This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
108 W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
109
110 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
111
112 x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
113
114 or like this, if the check failed:
115
116 x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
117
118 Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
119 still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
120 themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
121 of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
122
123 There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
124 once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.

144 This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
145 kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
146 certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
147 tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
148 to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
149 for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
150 invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
151
152 flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
