   6         bool "Export kernel pagetable layout to userspace via debugfs"
   7         depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
   8         select DEBUG_FS
   9         help
  10           Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
  11           debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
  12           who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
  13           It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
  14           kernel.
  15           If in doubt, say "N"

  17 config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR
  18         bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
  19         help
  20           Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
  21           the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some additional
  22           instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you are
  23           planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel.
  24
  25 config ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET
  26         bool "Randomize TEXT_OFFSET at build time"
  27         help
  28           Say Y here if you want the image load offset (AKA TEXT_OFFSET)
  29           of the kernel to be randomized at build-time. When selected,
  30           this option will cause TEXT_OFFSET to be randomized upon any
  31           build of the kernel, and the offset will be reflected in the
  32           text_offset field of the resulting Image. This can be used to
  33           fuzz-test bootloaders which respect text_offset.
  34
  35           This option is intended for bootloader and/or kernel testing
  36           only. Bootloaders must make no assumptions regarding the value
  37           of TEXT_OFFSET and platforms must not require a specific
  38           value.

  40 config DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
  41         bool "Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO"
  42         depends on MODULES
  43         help
  44           This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable
  45           kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution
  46           of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code
  47           patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect
  48           against certain classes of kernel exploits.
  49           If in doubt, say "N".

  51 config DEBUG_RODATA
  52         bool "Make kernel text and rodata read-only"
  53         default y
  54         help
  55           If this is set, kernel text and rodata will be made read-only. This
  56           is to help catch accidental or malicious attempts to change the
  57           kernel's executable code.
  58
  59           If in doubt, say Y

  61 config DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA
  62         depends on DEBUG_RODATA && ARM64_4K_PAGES
  63         bool "Align linker sections up to SECTION_SIZE"
  64         help
  65           If this option is enabled, sections that may potentially be marked as
  66           read only or non-executable will be aligned up to the section size of
  67           the kernel. This prevents sections from being split into pages and
  68           avoids a potential TLB penalty. The downside is an increase in
  69           alignment and potentially wasted space. Turn on this option if
  70           performance is more important than memory pressure.
