| 281 | On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) |
| 282 | the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control |
| 283 | processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have |
| 284 | a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining |
| 285 | allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer |
| 286 | before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance |
| 287 | of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a |
| 288 | /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's |
| 289 | MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. |
| 290 | |
| 291 | This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar |
| 292 | control registers on other processors can be easily supported |
| 293 | as well. |
| 294 | |
| 295 | Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only |
| 296 | set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This |
| 297 | can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. |
| 298 | |
| 299 | Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs. |

Vivek Goyal | 1ab60e0 | 2007-05-02 19:27:07 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 625 | Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is advantageous as |

| 652 | This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This |
| 653 | feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary |
| 654 | value on the stack just before the return address, and validates |
| 655 | the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer |
| 656 | overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also |
| 657 | overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then |
| 658 | neutralized via a kernel panic. |
| 659 | |
| 660 | This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution |
| 661 | gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically |
| 662 | detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored. |

| 667 | help |
| 668 | Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for |
| 669 | functions that use large-ish on-stack buffers. By enabling |
| 670 | this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions. |
