| 13 | Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial | ||

| 15 | |||
| 16 | This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very | ||
| 17 | early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation | ||
| 18 | it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate | ||
| 19 | with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here, | ||
| 20 | unless you want to debug such a crash. | ||

| 35 | |||
| 36 | This option will slow down process creation somewhat. | ||

| 54 | help | ||
| 55 | Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables, | ||
| 56 | in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const | ||
| 57 | data. This option may have a slight performance impact because a | ||
| 58 | portion of the kernel code won't be covered by a 2MB TLB anymore. | ||

| 65 | help | ||
| 66 | If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the | ||
| 67 | kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates | ||
| 68 | running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure | ||
| 69 | on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option | ||
| 70 | will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace. | ||

| 87 | This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that | ||
| 88 | would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this | ||
| 89 | option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey | ||
| 90 | hair. | ||

| 97 | Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of | ||
| 98 | memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And | ||
| 99 | allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot | ||
| 100 | time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather | ||
| 101 | list merging. Currently not recommended for production | ||
| 102 | code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough | ||
| 103 | IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can | ||
| 104 | be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line | ||
| 105 | options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more | ||
