732 In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex
733 trylock() operations with the assumption that the code will not
734 be preempted. This invalid assumption may be more likely to fail
735 with SWP emulation enabled, leading to deadlock of the user

738 NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely
739 on an external transaction monitoring block called a global

846 Provide kuser helpers in the vector page. The kernel provides
847 helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location
848 in the high vector page to allow userspace to be independent of
849 the CPU type fitted to the system. This permits binaries to be
850 run on ARMv4 through to ARMv7 without modification.
851
852 See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.

854 However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used
855 by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating
856 exploits.
857
858 If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform
859 are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of
860 these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder
861 such exploits. However, in that case, if a binary or library
862 relying on those helpers is run, it will receive a SIGILL signal,

985 Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on

987 This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain and

989 is to replace the normal offset of cache sync operation (0x730)
990 by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310 register 0x740.

1055 Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to

1057 memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour,

1061 on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative
