f2d0f1de 11 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all

12 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
13 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can

14 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
15 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
16 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

18 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
19 userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
20 This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
21 /dev/mem.

40 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
41 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
42 it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
43 with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,

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

94 who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.

d013a27c 128 depends on X86_32
8f9ca475 129 ---help---
1da177e4
LT
130 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
131 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
132 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
133 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
134 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

141 This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
142 would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
143 option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
144 hair.

151 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
152 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
153 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
154 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
155 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
156 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
157 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
158 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
159 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
160 details.

8f9ca475 261 ---help---
60a3cdd0
IM
262 This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
263 developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
264 do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
265 compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
63fb7085
SW
266 enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
267 this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
268 decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
269 is there to test gcc for this.
