251 ---help---
252 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
253 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
254 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
255 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
256 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
257 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
258 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
259 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
260 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
261
262 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
263 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
264 as well.
265
266 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
267 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
268 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.

455 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
456 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
457 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
458 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
459 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
460 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
461 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
462 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
463 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
464 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
465 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.
466 If unsure, say Y.

511 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
512 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
Matt LaPlante1f1332f2006-06-29 01:32:47 -0400513 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
Eric W. Biederman5234f5e2005-06-25 14:58:02 -0700514 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
515
Matt LaPlante1f1332f2006-06-29 01:32:47 -0400516 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
Eric W. Biederman5234f5e2005-06-25 14:58:02 -0700517
518 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
519 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
520 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
521 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
522 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

Andi Kleen04103602006-03-25 16:30:13 +0100543 for regular kernels this value is 0x200000 (2MB). But in the case
Maneesh Soni05970d42006-01-09 20:51:52 -0800544 of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different
545 address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load
546 address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
547 after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
548 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as
549 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
550 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
551 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
552 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.

561 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
562 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
563 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
564 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
565 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
566 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
567 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
568 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
569 defined by each seccomp mode.

575 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
576 help
577 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
578 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
579 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
580 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
581 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
582 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
583 neutralized via a kernel panic.
584
585 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
586 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
587 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
