273 help
274 This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory
275 to see if memory is used before it has been given an initial value.
276 Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and
277 will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory
278 thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected).
279
280 The kernel may be started with kmemcheck=0 or kmemcheck=1 to disable
281 or enable kmemcheck at boot-time. If the kernel is started with
282 kmemcheck=0, the large memory and CPU overhead is not incurred.

314 Select the maximum number of errors to store in the queue. Since
315 errors can occur virtually anywhere and in any context, we need a
316 temporary storage area which is guarantueed not to generate any
317 other faults. The queue will be emptied as soon as a tasklet may
318 be scheduled. If the queue is full, new error reports will be
319 lost.

336 help
337 This option works around certain GCC optimizations that produce
338 32-bit reads from 16-bit variables where the upper 16 bits are
339 thrown away afterwards. This may of course also hide some real
340 bugs.

346 help
347 This option silences warnings that would be generated for bit-field
348 accesses where not all the bits are initialized at the same time.
349 This may also hide some real bugs.
