| 17 | This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory | |
| 18 | to see if memory is used before it has been given an initial value. | |
| 19 | Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and | |
| 20 | will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory | |
| 21 | thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected). | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | The kernel may be started with kmemcheck=0 or kmemcheck=1 to disable | |
| 24 | or enable kmemcheck at boot-time. If the kernel is started with | |
| 25 | kmemcheck=0, the large memory and CPU overhead is not incurred. | |

| 57 | Select the maximum number of errors to store in the queue. Since | |
| 58 | errors can occur virtually anywhere and in any context, we need a | |
| 59 | temporary storage area which is guarantueed not to generate any | |
| 60 | other faults. The queue will be emptied as soon as a tasklet may | |
| 61 | be scheduled. If the queue is full, new error reports will be | |

| 80 | This option works around certain GCC optimizations that produce | |
| 81 | 32-bit reads from 16-bit variables where the upper 16 bits are | |
| 82 | thrown away afterwards. This may of course also hide some real | |
| 83 | bugs. | |

| 90 | This option silences warnings that would be generated for bit-field | |
| 91 | accesses where not all the bits are initialized at the same time. | |
| 92 | This may also hide some real bugs. | |
