| 9 | help |
| 10 | This option provides support for retaining authentication tokens and |
| 11 | access keys in the kernel. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | It also includes provision of methods by which such keys might be |
| 14 | associated with a process so that network filesystems, encryption |
| 15 | support and the like can find them. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Furthermore, a special type of key is available that acts as keyring: |
| 18 | a searchable sequence of keys. Each process is equipped with access |
| 19 | to five standard keyrings: UID-specific, GID-specific, session, |
| 20 | process and thread. |

| 121 | This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected |
| 122 | from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages |
| 123 | can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs. |
| 124 | |
| 125 | For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space |
| 126 | a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems. |
| 127 | On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768. |
| 128 | Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map |
| 129 | this low address space will need the permission specific to the |
| 130 | systems running LSM. |
