12 | Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial | |
13 | port. | |
14 | ||
15 | This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very | |
16 | early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation | |
17 | it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate | |
18 | with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here, | |
19 | unless you want to debug such a crash. | |

1da177e4 LT |
87 | help |
88 | If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the | |
89 | kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates | |
90 | running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure | |
91 | on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option | |
92 | will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace. | |

108 | This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that | |

118 | Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of |
119 | memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And | |
120 | allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot | |
121 | time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather | |
122 | list merging. Currently not recommended for production | |
123 | code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough | |
124 | IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can | |
125 | be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line | |
126 | options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more | |
