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,

108 kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution
109 of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code

137 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
138 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
139 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
140 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
141 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
142 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
143 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
144 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
395cf969 145 options. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more

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