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

33 | Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each | ||
34 | task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output. | ||
35 | |||
36 | This option will slow down process creation somewhat. | ||

47 | Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages(). | ||

53 | depends on DEBUG_KERNEL | ||
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. | ||
59 | If in doubt, say "N". | ||

63 | depends on DEBUG_KERNEL | ||
64 | depends on X86_32 | ||
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. | ||

85 | depends on X86_32 | ||
86 | help | ||
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. | ||

95 | depends on X86_64 | ||
96 | help | ||
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 | ||
106 | details. | ||
