The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
|
|
---help---
|
|
If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
|
|
of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
|
|
access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
|
|
be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
|
|
enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
|
|
use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
|
|
|
|
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
|
|
userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
|
|
This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
|
|
/dev/mem.

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

This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very

early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation

it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate

Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each

This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

---help---

Say Y to verify that the per_cpu map being accessed has

Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a

debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
|
|
who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
|

It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production

kernel.

|
|
---help---
|
|
Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
|
|
in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
|
|
data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
|

If in doubt, say "Y".

config DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX

---help---
|
|
This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable
|
|
kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution
|
|
of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code
|
|
patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect
|
|
against certain classes of kernel exploits.
|
|
If in doubt, say "N".

config DEBUG_NX_TEST

bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EXPERT
|

depends on X86_32
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that

|
would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
|
|
option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
|
|
hair.

config IOMMU_DEBUG
|
|
bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
|
|
depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
|
|
depends on X86_64
|
|
---help---
|
|
Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
|
|
memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
|
|
allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
|
|
time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
|
|
list merging. Currently not recommended for production
|
|
code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
|
|
IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
|
|
be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
|
|
options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
config IOMMU_STRESS
|
|
bool "Enable IOMMU stress-test mode"
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option disables various optimizations in IOMMU related
|

code to do real stress testing of the IOMMU code. This option
|
|
will cause a performance drop and should only be enabled for
|
|
testing.
|

bool "IOMMU leak tracing"

This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.

It is the most tested hence safest selection here.

config IO_DELAY_0XED

bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"

Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is

bool "Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline'"
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
|
|
developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
|
|
do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
|
|
compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
|
|
enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
|
|
this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
|
|
decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
|
|
is there to test gcc for this.

Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user
|
|
copy operations into compile time failures.
|
|
|
|
The copy_from_user() etc checks are there to help test if there
|
|
are sufficient security checks on the length argument of
|
|
the copy operation, by having gcc prove that the argument is
|
|
within bounds.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, or if you run an older (pre 4.4) gcc, say N.
